Strange reports of monsters near the academy began to surface. David sensed something was off. One night, while out training, he was ambushed by a shadowy figure.
"You're not supposed to be here, outsider," the figure hissed.

He realized then that this world was more than just a story.
It was real. And so was the danger.
