From the introduction: Nine years, three hundred and sixty four days, ten hours. That's how long you've spent in this world. It's boring, yes, isn't it? Too much like home. Today, though, you heard something interesting. There's a creaky old mansion on the top of a gnarled hill nearby, and it's been said the place is haunted. Perhaps you ought to go check it out? Certainly more fun than sitting around here posting about young women with magical powers and frilly outfits they transform into.
