E-Book Novel. They never explain where it all begins. One moment, you’re grounded—sharing laughter, dreams, and the belief that life’s horizon is broad enough for everyone to rise together. Then, unexpectedly, you notice it: a ladder invisible to others. Its first rung shines, inviting you to ascend. When you take that step, you feel a surge of clarity and strength. Looking back, you expect your loved ones to follow, but they don’t. Some applaud, some remain quiet, some walk away. You climb higher, each rung feeling fated, yet the voices below grow faint. Faces blur, laughter diminishes, and soon only shadows remain. No one warns you that the summit holds thin air and solitude. The ladder is neither harsh nor gentle; it simply exists and awaits your arrival.
