I grew up in a sleepy town in the midst of the vast expanse of rice fields in Luzon, Philippines. Though inspired mainly by the simplicity of nature of my hometown, to read and to write, I am also inspired by my experiences in the cold and rainy mountain city of Baguio.

Foreword

Perhaps it is easy for you to guess where I got the inspiration to write this story; we live in a world where we can store more and more copies, records, or memories of things, at least in things outside of us. In contrast to this, before the invention of writing or art, people need to remember everything within them, like how some indigenous tribes still pass on to the next generations their very long but unique stories just through oral communication, even up until now. But again today, we can easily just store things that we might need to remember sometime in memory cards, usbs, etc. Countless hours of videos and audio recordings, innumerable pages of written documents—We can store them now in a little thing that can be put in our pockets. But does having such external storages really make us remember more, especially the precious things? Do they last longer also? A single virus, a single data corruption, a simple instance of forgetting to backup files or transferring them when changing devices, can make such stored memories get lost. Of course, we must not deny that such external storages really help us: my stories will not be written and published if not for their existence for an example. But I guess I just want to tell you what is my primary inspiration for this story: the way our devices nowadays store memory.

And with that said, I guess I will go on now and repeat again the generic foreword of the Clavitas series. For readers who have read other Clavitas stories already, you can already skip to The Game or The Story part of this book, but as for new readers, I suggest you continue reading this:

Why do we read and dream about stories of people, places, and events that may not even exist? Is the reality that was given to us not suffice? These questions, the writer of the famous Chronicles of Narnia
