The Title is a mouthful, I know.
Rated Mature since there's going to be violence at some point of the book.
---------------------------------------
Grian was adopted into a powerful, but secretive and closed off family from a young age, leading him to not have many experiences with the other side of the world of minecraft. Well, that's up until he accidentally reconnects with a childhood friend.
But yet, after years of being out and active, he never really uncovers much about his own life - before he was adopted. He had forgotten about it entirely, until he met someone.
Afterwards, he's starts having dreams and flashbacks to a past he didn't know he had, and of people he didn't know he knew. It wasn't the first time this happened, but this time, he's faced with a truth, one that took him a while to fully grasp.
Not only that, he has a normal player life that he has to try and juggle into this schedule. Adding more to his stress, his older adoptive brother has been acting rather strangely, and he himself might also start acting weird.
This is the moment he realizes family troubles can be more troublesome than he imagined, especially when you're in three different families.

"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
