Four teens and a college student are thrown into the midst of an otherworldly civil war when shadowy monsters - known as the Volken - open up portals around their home town, leading them to a fantasy world. After they find themselves wrapped up in a prophecy that requires them to end the war from all corners of the battlefield, they must find a way to play their part, save this new world, and return home. This book tells the story of all five main characters' perspectives (with a few side perspectives here and there) as they venture about the treacherous world of Frubana and learn about the magical, resilient enemies they are pinned up against. Cursing, violence, and death found within.

Both levers trail the field
Traffic and conversion are both below comparable stories. Cadence is the first lever — stories posting near-daily reached 25 followers 17% of the time; stories posting every few days almost never did. Get the flow going, then re-check conversion.
Benchmarks: 8,060 active Royal Road stories, percentiles within the 20–49 chapters band, cohort of 2026-07-02. Conversion is measured as followers gained per 1,000 views lifetime.
