<p>It wasn't on purpose.</p> <p>When Maria stole a peculiar book from one of her classmates, she thought nothing of it since her classmate didn't seem too fond of reading; Maria thought she could get away with it, however, she never expected the book to hold such secrets.</p> <p>Working as a barista in the city of Quezon, Maria discovers that not only was the book she had once read predicting the end of the world, but her old pocket watch was the key to figuring out its secrets.</p> <p>Before she knew it, chaos started to unfold, claiming the lives of thousands as deadly games began to appear all over the world, forcing humans to become players to survive.</p> <p>Maria never imagined that an old book series could lead to such catastrophes. Can a book with hundreds of pages stacked together— really be the sole reason for the end of humanity?</p> <p>Left with no other choice, Maria uses her knowledge from the books to navigate through the looming perils before her. With the desire to meet the beings that heralded the world's end and uncover the mysteries shrouding her books, Maria strove to survive and adapt to her new reality, even if it meant being tangled between life and death.</p> <p>In a world brimming with tales, akin to the multitude of stars gleaming in the nocturnal skies or the depths of the vast ocean yet to be explored, the story of searching for one's ending begins...</p> <p>TL;DR:</p> <p>What to expect:</p> <p>-Slow Paced Story</p> <p>-Character Development</p> <p>-A Fantasy, Post-Apocalyptic World</p> <p>-Mysteries!</p> <p>-Diverse Characters</p> <p>-Family Conflict and Comradeship</p> <p>-Sub-Plot Romance between Two Women</p> <p>-3.4k-3.8k Usual Word Count per Chapter</p> <p>-Mistakes in grammar or prose since English is not my Native Language</p> <p>What NOT to expect:</p> <p>-Overpowered MC</p> <p>-Reverse Harem</p> <p>-LitRPG</p> <p>Before reading this story, please note that this story will not be a short one. This story is inspired by many unlimited-flow Chinese novels I often read, Alice in Borderland, and my childhood favorite cartoon show, Adventure Time. Although this is my first time writing a story and may be an amateur, there would also be some terrible grammar, prose, and repetition of words since English is not my native language, I still hope that some of you will be able to enjoy reading this story I created during quarantine.</p> <p>This story may also be slow in terms of updating, but I'll try my best to upload frequently or find a schedule to upload the chapters. I accept any form of criticism, tips, and advice!</p>
