Hello, and welcome to my first novel! This is my first attempt at writing a long-term story, so I expect that there may be some mistakes along the way. However, I am dedicated to improving, and I would be incredibly grateful for any feedback you have to offer. Your support means a great deal to me, and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to read my work. This novel is an expansive adventure that explores countless realms and worlds, spanning across fantasy, medieval, modern, and many more settings. The universe within this story is vast—far beyond the scale of ordinary worlds. To give you a sense of its immensity, the world in this novel is nine times the size of an entire galaxy. The Three Great Layers of Existence The world is divided into three major layers, each unique in its nature, inhabitants, and power structure: The Lower Layer – The Realm of Demons This layer is home to demons, monsters, and dark entities that thrive in chaos. It is a realm of endless conflict and war, where only the strong survive. Spanning an area nine times larger than a universe, this is a place where terrifying beings plot, empires rise and fall, and legendary figures carve their names into history through blood and fire. The Middle Layer – The Mortal Realm The Middle Layer is a vast world nine times the size of a galaxy, where humans, elves, dwarves, and countless other races live. It is a realm of kingdoms, empires, magic, and technology, where countless heroes and villains shape the fate of civilizations. Some regions are steeped in medieval fantasy, while others have developed into modern societies. It is a realm of balance, where both divine and demonic influences clash in unseen battles. The Upper Layer – The Realm of the Gods The highest plane of existence, this realm is where only gods reside. It is a divine domain filled with celestial cities, sacred lands, and entities that possess power beyond comprehension. Like the Lower Layer, it is nine times the size of a universe, but unlike the chaotic underworld, this realm is shaped by cosmic order. However, even among the gods, conflicts and power struggles exist, as the fate of the entire multiverse often lies in their hands. A Universe of Interconnected Stories This novel is not just a single story—it is the foundation of an entire interconnected universe. It serves as the origin and the core of many other novels that branch off from it. Some of the stories that are connected to this grand narrative include: Knight's Pride – A tale of chivalry, honor, and betrayal in a medieval world where knights wield divine power. Hollowed – A dark and mysterious story about a forgotten hero who walks between life and death. Influence of the Dark God – A story of corruption, ambition, and the rise of an entity that seeks to reshape the cosmos. While these stories are deeply connected to the main novel, this novel is the true beginning—the origin of all things. It holds the secrets that link all the realms together and will serve as the key to understanding the vast multiverse. The foundation of the world, its history, and its vast scope will be introduced in the early chapters. However, the true beginning of the main story will start around chapters 12 to 13. These initial chapters will be dedicated to world-building, introducing key figures, and setting the stage for the grand journey that awaits. Final Thoughts Thank you for taking the time to read this introduction. If you have any suggestions, ideas, or feedback, I would love to hear them! I am committed to improving my writing and making this story as engaging and immersive as possible. I hope you will join me on this journey through a universe filled with adventure, mystery, and endless possibilities!
