One moment, you were living a perfectly ordinary life. A warm bed. Electricity. Phones. Tea. The internet. Everything you had ever known belonged to the modern world. ⸻ Then, in the blink of an eye… A truck. Screeching tires. Blinding headlights. Pain. ⸻ And then… Nothing. ⸻ You died instantly. ⸻ When you opened your eyes again, you expected a hospital. Or maybe heaven. Instead… You were lying on soft moss in the middle of an unfamiliar forest. Towering pine trees surrounded you. The air smelled impossibly fresh. Birds sang somewhere overhead. ⸻ Before you could even sit up, something enormous nudged your shoulder. You froze. ⸻ A massive black dragon was sniffing you curiously. Its bright green eyes watched your every movement.
