    Kind of...Alex's grandfather he couldn't use the box because only a special soul could do it, but he knew that Alex is that soul, and he guarded the box, so Alex can find it when the time comes...

    "Your grandfather was a keeper of forgotten secrets, lost to the world but preserved through his journeys. These tales you heard as a child, dismissed as mere fables, were fragments of a deeper truth he sought to protect. "

    I haven't thought of it, but yes... [img=faceslap]

    The puzzle box, he soon realized, was far more than a mere keepsake; it was a portal to unseen dimensions, a bridge to experiences that transcended the ordinary.

    I already know... Constant fights lead to toxic behaviours, so I am not staying in the conflicts. Just wanted to emphasize in grandfather figure and the impact he has in young Alex's mind.

    He vividly recalled his parents arguing with his grandfather over these twisted tales of Yule Land, the dark king, his executioner Krambus, and the wicked plum fairy tormenting the Nutcracker.

    Yes, in truth, there are clues for the future. Grandfather is an important figure which feed us with information.

    His home was a modest, cozy cottage, once the haven of his late grandfather, a man with a peculiar love for Christmas. Alex often remembered his grandfather's unusual Christmas stories, starkly different from those in books.

    I am glad you liked it, because the prologue is a bit different than what I am comfortable writing and in mind a bit weird the author having a role in the story. I wanted to give a more dramatic vibe because the story is a fairytale and in my mind I thought it needed a narrator.

    The chronicles of which I speak are not mere fabrications but are as real as the frost that bites at your windowpane, as tangible as the warmth of a fire that fights the winter's chill. They tell of Alex Thompson, a young soul caught on the web of destiny, chosen by forces beyond his comprehension to embark on a quest that is as perilous as it is pivotal.

    Thank you very much for reading my story. I am glad you like it so far because it's an experimental story where I am trying to blend different things and I think it's a bit weird. I hope you'll enjoy the next of the characters.

    Usually something that lets the reader think what the chapter is about. It's ok you can think about it and edit them later.

    I'm really enjoying the dialogue between Mitsuhiro and Suzune. It's got a nice, natural flow to it, and the banter is engaging. I also appreciate how Mitsuhiro handles the situation with patience and understanding. It's a great way to build rapport between characters. Maybe you can use more eye-catching titles for each chapter that foretell what the chapter is about. Keep up the good work! Can't wait to read more of your story! 😊📖👍

    Wow, a great chapter. Mitsuhiro's character is intriguing, and I can sense a lot of depth there. The contrast between the school environment and the hardships the students face is a great setup for tension and conflict. The scene where Mitsuhiro stands up against the bullies is awesome! It really shows his character's strength and determination. And that last interaction with the girl he saved leaves me with so many questions, in a good way! A small advice though, maybe you can divide or decrease the length of the two first paragraphs.

    The growing darkness in the grove... Malgarn and he's minions are a threat to the world if Malgarn's shield broke.

    Theo's heart didn't just race; it thundered in his chest, each beat a loud echo of his deep-seated fears. The village wasn't just a place of residence for him; it was a sanctuary that cradled his earliest memories, a bastion of peace that had fostered his very soul. Now, to feel that sanctuary threatened stirred a protective fervor within him, a visceral response to an unseen menace that seemed all too eager to desecrate his home.

    Haha yes she is a scholar but this language here is the language of the forest and the spirits that nobody knows and a few keepers can understand

    A whisper, woven with the night breeze, reached them—a language not spoken but felt, stirring the leaves and their hearts in unison. It was a language they had never heard, with a rhythm that pulsed with power.

    No not yet just one of the ancient trees of the grove.

    As the horizon blushed gold and lavender with the setting sun, they found themselves in a clearing where time seemed to stand still. It was then that they stumbled upon a clearing unlike any they had seen before. A tree of extraordinary size stood at its center, its branches reaching for the sky in a graceful dance. The leaves of the tree shimmered with an otherworldly glow, casting an ethereal light upon the clearing.

    This chapter is really picking up the pace, and I'm loving the dynamic between the characters. Yofiel's skills and their involvement in the party's journey add a new layer of intrigue to the story. And the Dragon's Domain? Sounds like a thrilling setting! You've got me on the edge of my seat, wondering what's going to happen next. Keep up the great storytelling! I can't wait to read the next chapter. đŸ˜„đŸ“–đŸ”„
