Hey there, and thank you so much for clicking on this story.
This is my first ever published work, and honestly, it still feels surreal to have it out in the world. Writing has always been something I deeply loved, but I've never actually taken that leap to share a full piece until now—so this means a lot to me.
While creating this story, I couldn't help but be reminded of Shadow Slave, which is one of my favorite pieces of fiction ever. Certain moments, tones, or ideas in this story brought it to mind, and in that way, it quietly inspired me during the writing process.
Also, about the 'System' tag you might have seen—I want to clarify what that actually means in the context of this story. Yes, there's a system. But no, the main character won't suddenly become overpowered or gain ridiculous boosts right out of the gate. This story isn't about getting instant power. It's about earning it—through hardship, through struggle, through growth. The system exists, yes, but it's more of a guide, an interface, a reflection of progress rather than a free meal ticket. Think of it as a tool to track one's journey rather than define it.
Every comment, every piece of feedback, even the smallest one, means the world to me. I genuinely want to improve, and hearing from readers is one of the best ways to grow—not just the story, but myself as a writer.
So once again, thank you. Thank you for giving this story a chance. :)
