D&A series book 1: Lightspark
“Don’t assume your dreams are just fantasy. If you can imagine a world, believe in it… and dive in.”
~Tetsuya Nomura, Kingdom Hearts 3 Trailer
Is it hard to believe that whatever you imagine is true?
During my teenage years, I went through a living hell called the Royal Military College of Sungai Besi. Days of endless training and torture- mostly for building our resilience, has rendered my body and mind exhausted. So I looked towards the stars, thinking:
“Is there someone out there too enduring hardship and in search of his destiny?”
The truth is, everyone is like that. All of us have our own stories to tell, and all are equally interesting, thrilling, exciting, and fun. If there are 16 billion people in this world, there will surely be 16 billion interesting stories to tell.
But I was not fond of my own life back then, so I created a boy, someone I can look up to, and started daydreaming about him, as a form of mental escape really. From a single boy I constructed his behavior, values, and hopes. Then, I move on to his environment, his friends, his enemies. Later, his origin, his future, then his world.
Everyday for the past 15 years I think:
“What would Light do?”
“Why did he do that?”
“How will his surroundings react to his choices?”
Now, his life is in my mind. Before Light is forgotten, I will need to tell you his story. So, will you embark on this journey with me? To my Milleu?
For my friends in Malaysia, I strongly suggest to check out Google Play Books and Rakuten Kobo. Thanks for your support!😊

The Four Saints- a title granted by the emperor to his greatest warriors, with powers rival to the gods, they won countless battles against this unknown enemy. They are closing in towards the front door of the enemy, solely for the sake of peace.
Now, there’s a boy in his youth from the peaceful nation of Rosaria, in a bustling harbour city of Neberium, is hoping to become one of the Saints. With the light of hope, and the flames of hatred, he walks the path where his future is undetermined….
