While walking a new section of his land, he discovered a mystery. Doing a little exploring he finds a chamber buried in inside a hill. It was most definitely not natural, but it also seemed harmless. He should never have gone in. Or maybe he was meant to?
In any case, he fell asleep in the chamber, and upon leaving it, he finds that the world he finds himself in isn’t the same as the one he left.
Kyle soon discovers that he has awoken in a world called Ruelani. One where men are rare. Where women protect the few men that are born. Where men are little more than pets throughout most of the world. And they’d never be allowed to do anything hazardous. Like, say. join the army.
