30XX. The world has evolved. No longer the round earth we know of due to a chemical reaction by the US Government's secret collaboration with Germany, the story takes place on a gigantic floating island that's between the skies and the ground. No one knows how far they are from the "ground" on the earth, neither do they know how near they are from the galaxy. And on that particular island, of which they call it "Infinitum", consists of the seven richest families that has ever lived. Each family is known for their strengths such as their impenetrable army forces, their stressful yet endurable education, their astonishing fashion senses, and more. With each family (or familia, as they like to call it) earning at over millions of dollars every month, there certainly is a lot of competition between them. However, not all humans born were made to make money. Some wanted to dream elsewhere, while others liked to explore. And those are exactly the types of people who are not needed in the industry. And so the officials of each family unanimously decided to send those people to work somewhere else to benefit everyone on the island. Somewhere- where they belong.

There is an unexpected turn in the story that drastically changes the course of events and, in the long run, even the lives of those involved. Magpie, the first to be involved, suddenly finds himself in the world so unlike his own. Will he find his place there or will he be at least able to go back home? He seems to find his way back from this new world of giga-dimensions but something unwanted happens, and things go worse. The cultural differences, together with a challenging personality traits of another involved in the events, suck Magpie and his friends into a downward spiral. The story challenges you to see the world differently from the perspective you are perhaps too used to and narrowed by. Life can be an adventure if you don't narrow it with a bigotry that forces you to be rooted in your trenches and behind your dividing walls. This doesn't mean you have to accept others' views without standing your ground. However, to be able to share our lives in this one and only world we need to make compromises, on both sides. Are you the first brave one to set this positive trend in motion? So read on and let the foundation of the story be laid. From the end of episode 1 on, the story really picks up, finally reaching its climax at the end of episode 3 with quite a surprising finish. Your participation in solving this shared challenge of coexistence and cooperation is highly appreciated. Remember those who cooperate make more progress than those who don't! The ideal audience for my first book is actually between 12 and 16, but anybody older and interested in adventures, cultures and in getting more understanding into our multifaceted world is sure to enjoy the story. (The whole story has now been published, the only thing I'll still add is the final epilogue but the story is already available in its entirety.)
