Chapter 1: Welcome to Sweetzana
"Welcome to Sweetzana... the sweetest place in the world."
There was a magical world called Sweetzana, where everything was sweet.
The streets smelled like fresh chocolate, the rivers sparkled like melted caramel, and colorful candy shops stood on every corner. Ice cream, cakes, donuts, cookies, candies, chocolates—sweet treats were everywhere.
In Sweetzana, sweets were not just food. They were a part of everyone's life.
Every morning, people happily gathered together.
"Come on, ladies!" one woman cheered. "Let's have a sweet party!"
"Yay! Sweetz is everything!" everyone shouted with excitement.
No one in Sweetzana could imagine a life without sweets.
But on the same day...
A girl named Lia was travelling to Sweetzana from another state.
There was one thing that made her completely different from everyone else.
She hated sweets.
As the car entered the city, Lia was fast asleep.
A few minutes later, the driver gently woke her.
"Ma'am, we've arrived. Welcome to Sweetzana."
Lia stretched and smiled.
"Okay. Bye!"
"Take care," the driver replied before driving away.
Lia looked around in surprise.
Everywhere she looked, she saw giant posters of cakes, chocolates, candies, and cookies.
"What is this place?" she whispered. "Everything is about sweets..."
She sighed and rubbed her stomach.
"I'm so hungry... I hope I can find some spicy noodles."
She walked to a nearby shop.
"Excuse me," she asked politely, "where can I buy spicy noodles?"
The shopkeeper stared at her in complete shock.
"Spicy... noodles?" he repeated. "Are you feeling okay?"
Lia blinked in confusion.
"Of course I am. Why are you asking?"
The shopkeeper laughed nervously.
"In Sweetzana, we don't eat spicy food. We only eat sweets."
Lia's eyes widened.
"What?! I hate sweets!"
The shopkeeper's smile disappeared.
"I'm sorry... but you can't enter Sweetzana unless you complete the entrance process. You must tell us your favourite sweet—and eat one."
Lia froze.
"Oh no... What am I going to do?"
