I know my alias name is also similar to my OC in the novel, sorry about that. This is actually my very first OC I have ever made and she means a lot to me. She did become my persona online, and ended up writing so much lore for her. Just know that when I speak as the writer, it is not the character herself speaking, but the me IRL. Please know that I am no professional nor do I have a writing degree, and English is not my first language either. I am just a self-taught, creative writer. The reason I continued to write this is because when I created my very first OC, I ended up making in depth lore and character profiles for her which wasn't really planned, though I did fall in love with creating more. I did not expect to write a web novel series, but as I kept writing, it became my goal to make her come alive along with the world she lives in. I do want to say thank you to everyone around me, since I've gotten support from friends to share this, and I gained courage to finally step out of my bubble. Though I'm new at this, I know it won't be perfect and my execution may not be on point, but I at least want to share this world that I created, with others. Hoping that there will be some people out there that will come to like it, please do watch over me as I fight my demons while I write this chaotic world. Building a world of chaos with multiple power systems that affects the main one, a cosmic horror and god-games type of story. I aspire to be a writer who shows no mercy to their characters. Note: I forgot to mention that this story will be alive. "Alive" in a way that I may edit or revise released chapters. Think of it as multiple timelines, but slowly we forget the previous version (timeline). So for those who are right on time or were "there" for the past "timelines", good for you. Let's hope you will not forget because being forgotten is quite lonely and sad. Haha. Well, thank you for putting up with this chaotic novice writer. I will do my best.
