This kind of excitement that people experienced in their childhood remains in their heart even when they become adults. This book proves that those fantasy worlds do not exist only in our imagination but actually exist in our real world: a huge tree in an enchanted forest, a witch's magic shop, lodging where you can save your playing data, the remains of an ancient city that waits the last boss...etc.
