In the expansive expanse of existence, there exist realms concealed from the awareness of ordinary folk. Rain Weathers, an unremarkable teenager with average looks, physique, and grades, was leading an uneventful life. However, everything took a dramatic turn one fateful day when he found himself plunged into a vivid dream, a dream that unveiled a world beyond imagination — a world teeming with spirits, monsters, and conversing frogs. This was the Spirit Realm. Transformed into a player by the mysterious machinations of the universe, Rain, alongside other chosen individuals, found themselves thrust into a perilous world. They were tasked with navigating their newfound domain, establishing their territories, all while fending off relentless onslaughts from beasts, defending their territories from other races, and making sure to stay alive for another day. NOTE! NO system. NO cheats. NO overpowered MC. NO tragic past or sob story. NO harem. This is more on Kingdom Building, and War. Just an average boy with no special skills who, through hardship and dedication, transforms from a nobody to a conqueror. If this story interests you, give it a try.
Rain and Alice's first stop was a trendy café. The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, mingling with the sweet scent of pastries.
Alice ordered a large caramel frappe with extra whipped cream. Rain watched as she took her first sip, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.
She looked at him with those captivating eyes and said, "You should try one too."
Rain, still bewildered, ended up ordering a milk frappe.
Alice chuckled at Rain's choice. "Are you a kid?"
"I like milk," Rain said shyly. He should have ordered something else. Was it still too childish for him to like milk at his age?
The two of them sat down to enjoy their drinks and pastries. Rain was ready to hear what Alice wanted to say, but instead, she remained silent, savoring her drink.
