Embark on this journey of the life of the adventurous Garael, who braves trough "The Deep", discovering and living exciting and awe-inspiring moments, seeing unimaginable things, all that while he recovering lost memories about a mission to help the planet given by a mysterious creature.

This story is a mix of the first and third person, intended to help make the reader feel and experience what's happening with the MC. I do like serious stories, but a bit of humor needs to be in the mix, so I warn you that this novel is full of jokes that will make you laugh - or cry because it's extremely bad.

Take your seat and enjoy it!

Thanks for giving this story a chance. I hope you can enjoy it and learn a lot from it.

The inspiration came from games (mainly RPG ones that have Dungeons), the fantastic anime Made in Abyss, the marvelous novel Library of Heaven's Path, that increased my latent desire to write, and a lot of other things that I came across after the initial thought was formed.

There will be similarities with some common things of the real world and games - like slimes -, but similarities with real people, companies, government, etc. are mere coincidence.

English is not my main language, so I'm sorry for not being able to express myself the best way possible and for the grammar mistakes that I may do unintentionally. I'm working on it.
