"Beware that you become not the very monster you ought to slay."

In a world where magic holds the essence to life, there is still no telling where fate determines your place will be.

When the Cardinal Empire of Nyrhaea and its time-forsaken creatures declare war on the human world, a dark entity in the guise of a human, a grieving swordsman, an electric-manipulating technocrat, an unhinged fire-breathing boy, and a magic-less girl whose very existence defies the Laws of Mahika, venture to stop the prophesied, apocalyptic world war. All the while dealing with the complications of entering adulthood.

With the grotesque inside him growing hungrier by the day, threatening him of the looming hour to fulfill destiny's bidding to be the key to the end of the world, the entity resorts to a mysterious girl who could only be his last hope to attain freedom from the shackles of fate. An antidote given not without an undefined price. But how long can he endure to bury the roots of the calling past?

And what are they willing to risk to liberate a world beyond saving that hangs in the state of trust and sanity?

Welcome, reader!
Thank you for checking out this book. I would appreciate it more if you were to read it to the end, for this series holds a collection of wonder, action, drama, and twists throughout the story.

| AN OVERVIEW |

This book is a special work I have been developing over the years. It started out as a leisurely, non-serious activity to pour out my newfound hobby of writing back in 2019. I was able to be convinced by my friends to join and write on Wattpad back when I thought it was just a reading platform for questionable smuts and fanfiction, but as soon as I explored further, I found out it wasn't what I expected after all. 

The app was full of amazing, adventurous, thrilling, inspiring, and exciting books I got hooked on. I read many adventure and fantasy stories because they were my cup of tea. Inspired and encouraged, I began my journey of publishing my works, manifesting the products of my imagination with a few touches of events that occurred in my life weaved into surreal and fantasy themes, and integrated them into the digital community of literature.

ASORA was not my first published work on Wattpad, but it is my sole project as it is the main drive that pulls me into performing creative writing. Serving as more than a personal achievement in doing the things I love, it also holds a sentimental value for me because this was one of the ways I was able to deal with difficult times. 
The real world is a mess, sure, but someone once told me that in life, it isn't always about finding the solution to the problem, but the way you cope with it at times. And among them, I chose diving into a world of fantasy to let loose.

By the end of Book I, I might just elaborate on how I came up with the book and its contents, as well as its characters, events, and worldbuilding. Some may be inspired by real life, while some are the products of my wandering imagination. 

So stick around to the end if you're interested in knowing the background behind the story and why it is more than a special place for venting my hobby.
