One fateful evening, while exploring a shadowy corner of the library, Lena stumbles upon a forbidden book, its cover adorned with mysterious arcane symbols. Ignoring the warnings etched into its spine, she opens it, unleashing a swirl of enchanted light. To her astonishment, the light transforms into Aldric, a mischievous and charismatic author from centuries past.
