Born three months earlier than anyone should have, Will lived his entire fifteen years of life in a struggle against the encroaching death creeping upon his under-developed body. Growing up with few friends, he immersed himself in books, allowing his mind to wander through fantastical worlds where everything was possible.

When a child in the small town near his home gets mauled by what seems to be a wolf, his father goes out to try to save it, leaving Will alone in his home, as he has grown accustomed to over the years due to his chronic condition.

Barely does anyone know that the creature is not only much more dangerous than a rogue wolf from the nearby forests, but it comes from an entirely different world.

It is also encroaching Will's house, its new prey in reach, while Will is defenseless and unaware of the events transpiring over all of the kingdoms and empires at this very moment.

Will he be able to survive his encounter and discover the new reality of a world where barriers between the physical and the astral are unnaturally thinned?

Will he manage to outpace his worsening condition?

Will he use his newfound knowledge to truly ascend to his highest potential, beyond his natural body's capabilities in a world shaken by changes to its very foundation?

Peering into the abyss of the unknown may bring strength to oneself, but also reveal to some who might have ill intentions. The world is growing, both in size as in dangers.

Do let me know about possible improvements to the story's structure. I am a beginner and know that there will be some issues now and then. I hope you enjoy.

PS: The main character takes a hell of a beating at first, but the intent is for him to grow insanely strong in the long run.
