This chapter will briefly explain the MC as if he were an OC stand-in for those who rather OC content over self-inserts - feel free to skip this chapter and get right into the story if you would prefer

Hi everyone,
So, for those who don't know - the MC of this book is based on an old OC of mine and I use the male MC from the cancelled mobile game, Alex Summons, as a type of stand-in or basis for those who would rather imagine a character as opposed to themselves
Well, the absolutely incredible @zoco_draws on Instagram made these reference sheets for me by combining his old OC with the idea behind this story and some of Alex's accessories after a conversation we had on Discord
He even gave him a name based on how I've written his backstory - Ren Hoshizora
I had the pleasure of meeting Zoco through a mutual friend on Discord and he drew these for me completely by surprise and completely free. I would like to give him the biggest thanks imaginable because he did not need to do that by any means and I appreciate it so much.
So, for anyone who would rather imagine an OC or stand in character instead of themselves when they're reading, feel free to use this wonderful creation. You, of course, do not have to use him if you don't want to and can absolutely keep imagining [Y/n] [L/n] as yourself or one of your own OCs, but if you want to imagine something different, please consider using Ren.
Please go follow Zoco on Instagram if you don't already, you absolutely will NOT regret it. I've included a few examples of his incredible work in the screenshot below but there's so much more I couldn't include and would highly recommend checking out. He's also genuinely one of the nicest people I've ever interacted with
Now, without further adieu - let the story begin
