Thank you…
Yes, you—the one reading these words right now.
Before this story truly begins, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. Out of countless worlds, you chose to step into mine. That means more than you can imagine.
I created RIMFIRE not to chase fame or numbers, but because I wanted to tell a story that burns slowly, then explodes. A story that begins with light and ends somewhere between madness and meaning.
You'll find emotions—some raw, some gentle. You'll see broken people trying to stand in a world that's breaking faster than they can heal. There will be beauty, but it won't always be kind. There will be pain, but it won't always be cruel.
This is a promise from me to you:
> Every chapter you read will carry weight—either in words, emotion, or silence.

A Small Teaser
There is a boy who carries the light of an eclipse.
A contradiction born between day and night.
The world calls him a phenomenon—
but he calls himself human.
And soon… everyone will learn that even light casts shadows when it burns too long.

Symbolism of the Title
RIMFIRE—it's more than a name.
It's the spark that ignites when two forces collide:
the sun's brilliance and the void's hunger.
It represents the thin line between creation and destruction.
A line every character will be forced to walk.

Now, let's begin.
The fire is waiting.
