HEY EVERYONE!
If you're reading this before finishing the story, stop right here. Seriously, go finish it first because what comes next is packed with SPOILERS .
Alright, let's dive into the end of the story. You might be wondering,
How is Seraphina alive?
And what was up with that crack in the sky?
So here's the deal: I'm creating a universe where all my novels are connected, even if it's a tiny link that doesn't affect much. That's what's happening in this story too.
I'll explain everything in detail in another book, but here's a sneak peek to keep you curious.
We've got the UNIVERSE we know, but then there's something bigger called the
MULTIVERSE which is where every possible universe exists.
Yep, that includes your favorite game worlds, anime, movie universes—everything you can think of. Inside each universe, there are different DIMENSIONS.
Some universes might have 2 or 3 dimensions, others maybe 10. We'll dig into that later.
Now, outside the multiverse is something even bigger: the OMNIVERSE where literally EVERYTHING exists, including a GOD REALM where gods control different universes or some powerful one even rule whole multiverse.
No not like a king but you can see them everywhere getting worshipped.
We'll explore all of this in another novel, so don't worry.
Now, in the story, what happened is this: the antagonist (up in the God Realm) destroyed something called the MULTIVERSE SEED, which basically kept everything working smoothly.
With that seed gone, the multiverse started shaking and the barriers between universes weakened. While the multiverse is still hanging on, it's fragile now, which means powerful entities can jump between universes more easily. And oh, the gods? Their power has taken a hit too.
Got it? Hopefully! If not, don't worry—it'll make more sense later.
So, about that crack in the sky…when the barriers broke, time basically froze for safety reasons. Well, for EVERYONE except Seraphina and Raven.
Why? Because they're special.
Why again? Well, they're the main characters of this universe. Simple, right? No crazy reason beyond that.
Now, let's talk about the WATCHER.
He's an entity from something called the OVERVERSE, which is the highest plane of existence. There's stuff in the Oververse that's way beyond what you and I can even begin to understand.
Just know that the Watcher lives there. And guess what? The whole Omniverse? Yeah, that's just one part of the Oververse.
There's also a TRUE SOUL PLANE, and a special one called the AUTHOR REALM. Sounds familiar? Yep, that's Earth—our world!
Here, we've got these powerful beings called AUTHORS(that's us!) who unknowingly create, destroy, and shape all the worlds in the Omniverse.
It's like we hold the master key to the whole thing, and even a little piece of the Oververse too. Cool, right?
Ohh and there are readers (That's you!) who can watch all of these in by reading, or just by using your eyes...or using your ears...
Now, the Watcher? He's just an observer. He watches everything and occasionally drops comments here and there.
So if you ever notice him saying something during the story, don't be confused—that's just him chiming in.
I hope this clears things up! If you've got any questions, feel free to drop them in the comments.
Oh, and since you've made it to the end, don't forget to leave a REVIEW!!!!!
This is something very important.
Thanks so much for reading....
