What if all the stories you’ve ever read, all the words that shaped your life, weren’t random at all? What if every tale, every book, every page, was leading you toward something far darker, something you never saw coming? And what if “this story,” the one you’re reading now, isn’t just about Alex Müller? What if it’s about ‘you’ too? What if everything in your life, up until this moment, was pulling you here? To him. You might think you’re just a passive observer, but what if you’re not? What if, hidden in the shadows of every chapter, your presence is felt? You’re more than just a bystander. You’re part of this. You’re here for a reason. Alex Müller, a boy caught in a world of hunters, monsters, and fate’s cruel game, doesn’t know it yet, but his path is crossing with yours. And the more you watch, the more you realize… you can feel it. His fate intertwining with yours. The darkness. The whispers. The pull. Sometimes, you’ll hear a distant voice, a moment when you, the reader, have power over the world unfolding before you. What if your choices, no matter how small, can shape Alex’s fate? What if the words on these pages aren’t just words, but your key to changing everything? You are not just reading. You are “there”. And sometimes, you’re more than that. A fleeting presence, a shadow in Alex’s world, felt but rarely seen. Your choices, your influence—they’re real. They’re part of the twisted game that’s unfolding. In a world where hunters battle monsters and a broken system rules, the lines between fate and free will blur. Can you trust your decisions? Can you even trust what’s real? This isn’t just Alex’s story. It’s YOURS too. And as you journey alongside him, the question remains: What if you’ve been led here for a reason? What if you’re not just observing, but shaping the fate that awaits? What if every story you’ve lived through was guiding you toward this moment? Is it fate, or is it something darker?Or maybe it’s just randomness—unpredictable, unexplainable, and yet... here you are WELCOME TO THE SHOW!
