*** A realistic fiction novella exploring the greatest conspiracy behind our world *** (I did not know the best category to put this in. It is not male or female oriented per se. Give it a chance and let me know what you think.) ‘To build a new world, the old one must fall.’ Hello. If you are reading this, it means I am free, and you can learn what I learned from the Kingmaker. I accidentally stumbled upon the greatest conspiracy of the current world. It could mean the end or the beginning. It depends on how you look at it. I think the Kingmaker wants to destroy the modern world, but like many villains, he believes what he is doing is for the best. And I have to admit he has some good points. After all, he is a soldier who wants to usher the world into a new era of a world of the virtuous, the righteous. But his success means he must end the era for those who have fought and gained freedom... The freedom not to be virtuous like in the days of old... You can choose to believe me, but you are more likely to think that these are the ramblings of a mad person. Either way, you have been warned. Read at your own risk.

Five years before Monkey D. Luffy sets sail to become the King of the Pirates, another name stirs the seas with fear and ambition. Born on the brutal Noctis Island, Raizen D. Crow witnessed firsthand the cruelty of a lawless world. While others dreamed of freedom, Raizen dreamed of domination.

But far away, a boy with a straw hat is preparing to set sail… and the age of dreams is about to challenge the age of control. Before the dawn of a new era... there was a storm.
