[7 Days Until the Main Quest Begins]
That was the first thing I heard the moment I opened my eyes this morning.
And just like that, my mood was ruined.
I didn't even bother giving Leona—my cross-dressing roommate—a proper reply as we walked toward class. I just nodded at whatever she said, eyes half-closed, still processing the countdown in my head.
Seven days.
Seven days until the main plot of the novel officially kicks off.
From that point on, everything starts spiraling: betrayals, battles, deaths, and revelations. It was the calm before the storm, and I could already feel the air changing, bit by bit.
I guess it's true what they say—peace is a luxury, one we rarely get to enjoy.
To keep the peace, you have to prepare for war.
And for me, this main quest… it was the war.
