*COVER WAS MADE WITH AI*  I'm fairly new to writing and there may be plot holes or inconsistencies that I miss. Please point these out and I will fix them. Also feel free to critique me as your critism allows me to grow as a writer and improves your reading experience  The world is rotten, and Jake knows this well. Everyone not born with a silver spoon in their mouths, is forced to work in massive underground cities to mine and earn a miniscule amount of money. Most die, as you would expect, and it's usually from overworking/exhaustion, dehydration or starvation. Jake got the short end of the stick after his parents died. He was unable to earn much money and day by day was whittling away due to being more underfed than even the poorest of miners. One day as he was about to collapse to due exhaustion, a book falls out of the wall he is mining. He sees the book and starts to cry tears of joy.
