Diane sank deep into thought. It was as if she was drowning in a sea of memories—memories that didn't belong to this world.
She remembered sitting in front of a screen, scrolling through the pages of a digital novel. A web novel.
The story followed a protagonist who started out weak, an underdog in a world dominated by warriors and mages. But through sheer determination, he rose to become both—a swordsman and a mage—eventually claiming the title of the strongest.

Dvion Silverfein.

Diane had fallen for him.
