Chapter 1: The world of wonders
Niko and Naina lived in Tsukimori, a strange village where life always seemed too perfect. The people laughed, the harvest never failed, and even when monsters attacked, nobody was ever truly hurt.
Niko would often sit on the roof of their small wooden home at night, watching the three moons glow in the sky.
“Brother,” Naina whispered once, tugging on his sleeve as she joined him. “Why do we always know what to do when creatures attack? It’s like… the answers are already inside our heads.”
Niko frowned, gazing at the glowing moons.
“I don’t know. Maybe it’s just the way our world works. But… doesn’t it feel strange to you? As if we’re acting out something already written.”
Naina lowered her head, uneasy.
“I feel it too. Like we’re being… watched.”
