The day Aaron was born was also the day the world changed forever, with Outsiders stepping onto the green planet. But as long as there is darkness, there shall also be light. And so when the Outsiders entered the world, they brought something else with them. Mana. A mysterious power that changed humanity forever. Aaron was an ordinary young man with no special power. But one day, he found a strange parcel outside his door. Inside it was a broken sword. The moment Aaron touched it, he triggered something known as an Obsession and was transported to a world consumed by war. And now he must survive in a world where death waits around every corner. Yet what Aaron does not know is that beyond the wars of mortals, ancient forces moved in the shadows across countless realities. And in worlds such as these, how will Aaron carve his own path? . . . Author's Note: Hi everyone! This is my first novel, so I hope you'll go a little easy on me. I wanted to mention one thing before you begin reading. The opening chapters focus on building Aaron's character, the people around him, and the world he is in now. Because of that, the story takes its time in the beginning, but after around Chapter 20, the pacing becomes much faster as the larger story starts unfolding. I've also noticed that the Prologue has confused some readers. Don't worry. It isn't random, and it isn't there just for the sake of mystery. It is directly connected to the story, and its meaning will become clearer as the novel progresses. So I recommend not skipping it, even if it doesn't make complete sense at first. Thank you so much for giving my novel a chance. I truly hope you enjoy reading Aaron's journey. So now, without further ado... LET THE FESTIVAL OF STORY BEGIN!
