Chapter 108: With A Bang!

Chapter 108: With A Bang!

[1st of January, 2020]

Sitting outside his well-manicured lawn in a secluded neighborhood in England, rocking back and forth on his chair, was a well-known author whom had written [Fables & Legends], one of, if not, the most popular dark fantasy novel in the world.

The story, following an optimistic young farmer who was thrust into a war he never asked for, due to a political struggle between different races and factions across the Lands of Threnodia, was one that had gone on to become a worldwide sensation. 

Even newer generations of youngsters, were always recommended the books by adults of the past generation, a tradition that had been passed on with every new generation since the early 2000's.

Basically, the five books were masterpieces that had become eternalized… frozen in time, probably till the end of the world in fact.

The journey of Tristan, a weak human, slowly changing from an optimistic young man with a bright outlook on life, to a strong and powerful, amoral, grey character with his survival alone in mind, all across the span of five masterfully-crafted books with complex and intriguing plots, hooked and continued to hook readers around the world till date.

The author himself too, an Irish man that went by the name, Martin O. Ronan, was also an immensely influential figure in the world.

His views on the world, commentaries and sayings, were things people really loved hearing as they were very sagely and well-thought out. 

Currently aged 75, the man woke up feeling a bit introspective as the new year started.

This was something he always loved doing at the start of every year to reflect on everything in the past year and set new goals for himself to overcome in the new year.

His family was also coming over to visit later today but presently, as he rocked back and forth on the lawn chair, one that was specially designed for him, Martin, never being the tech-savvy individual, slowly decreased the volume of his radio.

Listening to his favorite radio station, a niche channel with carefully curated contents that focused on mostly philosophical things, Martin kept introspecting as he set new goals for the year.

However, midway into the segment of the show that was being aired, a song was played.

This, wasn't anything particularly interesting or surprising to Martin as this was a staple of the radio station.
