Our story begins down in Merrillville. A small town in Ross Township, Lake County, Indiana. The population is 35,246 residents. Merrillville is located in the East-central portion of the Lake County area, in the Chicago metropolitan area. Merrillville became the most populated town in Indiana, as Fishers in Hamilton County was converted from a town to a city.

At the town's local library, some people were coming and going, renting or returning books in their own time, all the while with browsing around to see what there might be on the shelves of the library, whether non-fiction, romance, horror, or out of the ordinary. Among one of the people in the library looking through the books was a young man.

This young male is about 18 years of age, with pale white skin, short jawline-length brown hair, and cobalt blue colour eyes. He stands 5ft tall, whilst his body is skinny, has broad shoulders, lean legs and arms, while he has lean muscles. He is currently wearing a pair of black boxer shorts, as well as a regular black short-sleeve shirt. This boy's name is Braedey Martin.

Braedey is a kindhearted being

Braedey is a kindhearted being. He's somewhat of a quiet person, since he's not as outgoing. He is not one to talk to girls, unless they're his sisters or mother. He struggles in self-courage, but he's thankful for his parents to provide support. He's a bit of a reader, but all the while, he has some issues with making friends.

Braedey hummed to himself, looking at some books of machinery, as well as different cities around the world, along with other such books. So far, he has read a fair amount of them. However, he's gotten a little bored as to what to read now.

"Man, there are some alright books here in this place, but I'm really looking for something new." Braedey said to himself with a sigh, now putting the books he has read back on the shelves, all the while making sure they were in their rightful places. "I just wonder if there is a new story or book to take a look at." He mused to himself.

Braedey began to walk through the aisles of many shelves, looking around at the many books that are there. He did see some that caught his attention, but none seemed to peek his interest. He sighed to himself, as he walked along. But, as he was about to leave the aisle he was in, he suddenly caught the glimpse of what might be something made of gold.

Braedey turned to look over, and he could see some kind of lightly tanned book cover. He reached over to pick it up, now seeing the front cover has a starry sky for the front, while there's the image of what looks to be the Catherine Palace, all lit up and vibrant, and the title of the book in gold. It read '𝐴𝑛𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑎'.
