Prologue

Great revolutions often begin in places no one bothers to look.

Not in grand halls illuminated by crystal chandeliers, nor in the hallowed chambers of the powerful, but in cramped rooms where the air is thick with dreams too large for the walls to contain.

It is there, amidst the scattered remnants of discarded plans and half-spoken hopes, that the first embers of change are quietly kindled.

To the world, these dreamers are invisible too ordinary, too fragile, too easy to dismiss.

But what the world forgets is that the extraordinary rarely announces itself in trumpets and fanfare.

It emerges slowly, stubbornly, carried on the backs of those who dare to believe when there is no reason to.

The road ahead was never promised to be kind.

Behind every smile lies a shadow; behind every handshake, an unseen blade.

In the pursuit of building something true, they will encounter betrayals carefully masked as alliances, ambitions so fierce they consume everything in their path, and adversaries who strike not in the open, but from within the very fabric of trust.

Yet amidst the chaos, there exists a moment brief, fragile, electrifying where everything hangs in the balance.

A moment when dreams either take flight or are shattered beyond repair.

A moment defined not by grandeur, but by courage.

It begins not with a roar, but with a whisper.

Not with certainty, but with trembling hands that still dare to reach forward.

It begins with a single decision.

A single risk.

A single pitch.

And once that first stone is cast, the ripple cannot be undone.
