Introduction

Stories are powerful things. They tell about the thoughts, ideas and fantasies from a certain person. These thoughts, ideas and fantasies can be described in various ways. Books, movies, games, musicals etcetera. They amuse, excite, inspire, thrill or move people. There are many people out there writing a book about their life story or even create a movie about it. If someone has a very exciting life it won't be hard reading the book or watching the movie.

And then there are the made-up stories. They can still be about the life of a certain person, but the person is fake and the events never occurred in this world. Imagine a story about a normal schoolboy who got into the drugs life and has trouble getting out of it. Pretty normal.

And finally, there are the fantasy books and movies. Stories about magical worlds, parallel dimensions, monsters and magic. Stories about a world being terrorized by a dark power or the rise of an evil organization who wants to absorb the magical life force from the earth to create superhuman weapons. You've probably seen or read a story like this at least once in your life.
Now imagine, you just finished reading your second fantasy book. You remember your first fantasy book you've read and imagined what would happen if the two of them. You give it a cool name and maybe even draw a map of your new imaginary world. And the more books you read, games you play or movies you watch, the bigger that world becomes.

What if I told you, I am that guy. I made a great world, combined it with everything I knew about fantasy, mythology and gave it my own touch.

This world is called Teravi. The more things I gathered, the bigger Teravi became. It slowly turned into an infinite world. Sometimes I started daydreaming about it. I thought about how life would be if I lived in Teravi.

But over time, my thoughts about expanding Teravi even further started to fade away. The real world was calling out to me, I needed to wake up from this fantasy and start becoming an adult. I threw my notebook in a box. This notebook contained all information about Teravi. I closed this chapter of my life and my ''Becoming an Adult'' stage began.

A year later I was running through my old stuff and I found my old notebook back. I went through it and it remembered me of the great things I created. But something about it wasn't right. I found a strange symbol at the last page of the notebook. It looked like an ancient glyph. I didn't know how it got there, maybe I drew it out of boredom so I threw the notebook back in a box and forgot about it.

From that moment, the moment I ignored the glyph, things were starting to get weird.
