[7 Days Until the Main Quest Begins]
That was the first thing I heard the moment I opened my eyes this morning.
And just like that, my mood was ruined.
I didn't even bother giving Leona—my cross-dressing roommate—a proper reply as we walked toward class. I just nodded at whatever she said, eyes half-closed, still processing the countdown in my head.
Seven days.
Seven days until the main plot of the novel officially kicks off.
From that point on, everything starts spiraling: betrayals, battles, deaths, and revelations. It was the calm before the storm, and I could already feel the air changing, bit by bit.
I guess it's true what they say—peace is a luxury, one we rarely get to enjoy.
To keep the peace, you have to prepare for war.
And for me, this main quest… it was the war.
Still, just because I'd received the notification didn't mean my daily life suddenly transformed into a battlefield.
Everything felt the same on the surface.
