I was born in a world that was always at war, and all I knew after I was taken from my home, was that very war. Every day was a battle and ever moment was fleeting, the men you met on the field weren't worth befriending, due to the pain you would suffer later by their loss. After dying in a world like that, I was met with a world with wonders that only those who were mad or on the death bed saw in heaven, but those around me treated it as if it were nothing, not knowing the luxuries of their lives. ================================== This is a MMORPG novel, hopefully that doesn't scare you off. Ill be honest I wanted to write a thing here that explains my novel, but I'm not one of those people who has everything planned to chapter 1000 like some of the better authors on this site. I write this mostly for fun and due to this opened up free time I now have, hopefully you will indulge me and at least read as far as you can before you get sick of my writing. And if you end up liking it, remember, the best thing you can do isn't give me power stones, but leave comments and add this to your collection.
