My younger sister is duplicate of my grandma Diana making her very special, she just looks like a doll with her bluish-green eyes and blonde hair one can't resist to pinch her chubby cheeks. I really sometimes feared how many hearts she will capture after growing up.
I reached my granny Diana's apartment where my baby sis was playing with her dolls on the sofa. Seeing me arrive she gave me a smile and called my grandma Usha who was in the kitchen preparing homemade snacks and tea for us. My grandma Usha often comes to take care of us when my granny Diana is very busy.

The Gambit
The kingdoms have rarely experienced peace, with kings and rulers warring against each other on any percieved slight. With explorers riding the waves to find new lands and merchants eager to set up trade routes while profiting as much as possible. Would the status quo still hold up? The veil is already weakining as more magic and horrors seep through the gap. How would the world deal with the sudden increase in the limited resource of magic? With the times changing, barren lands become trade hubs and the power shifts. The system holding it all together, is in a fragile balance, would a single death break the balance and cause the most devastating war the people have experienced. The direction of the story : The story will not contain any main protagonist, rather multiple protagonists and antagonists with the protagonists having bad some character traits and the antagonists some good ones. I plan to make a story of flawed humans, so if you are looking for OP MCs you would not enjoy it. But I still hope you give it a try. This is my first time writing and I am doing it to get better, so any suggestion or criticism is welcome. I am a university student, so do not expect a robust upload schedule, I'll try to put out 2 chapters a week, but there might be some delays. I apologize for it in advance. P.s. English is not my native language, so there might be some errors, though I tried to mitigate them as much as possible.
