Hello, author here…! From the bottom of my heart, I Thank You for reading my novel A Sudden Life in a New World volume one. For a newbie writer, I'm grateful to has such amazing readers for my work. Many thanks to those who gave me support as I write this web novel until now. Words couldn't describe my feelings for your appreciation and reviews. All I could say that I'm truly grateful for giving noticed to my amateur writings.
This work is my first published novel, period. There were lots of mistakes in the wording since English is not my first language (i kinda regret not to focusing my literature studies back then). Though, I strive to better my wordings as I progress with this work. This novel was one of my original story that I had envision after reading some web novels and others. After many thoughts, I decided to publish this work in this site to see if it will gain some interest from others. And it was a good decision.
There were some chapters that I had take out since they will spoiled some of the future story progression. But if there were some requests, I might publish them after the volume two is released. The story regarding Elise's back story, the olden war and 'Ellusia's and the sisters' short story (her character in the game). There were also the chapter where Reed was still himself, but I don't think that Readers might find it pleasant to read, considering his notorious deeds (he's already became the most hated villain).
There were short stories about Trysia back before she enters the academy as well and Alain's. Though there will be many spoilers in this particular chapters, I had taken them out and proceed with the story line. Though, I will consider releasing them in the future after some of the stories match up with the timings. Welp, thats all for the introduction….
Recap for the first volume, Riel was just an ordinary person who had a hard life since his parents passed. His siblings left for him to his own and easy to say, he don't had anyone he could called close relatives. But this didn't broke his spirit and continues until he graduates. But things gets worse for him as time pass by. Having a shitty job in a company that treated him like a slave, being betrayed by the one he could cling for love, and finally, he almost lost everything.
Having lost faith on reality, he then escaped his harsh reality and devote his time fully playing a Virtual game with strange settings and almost lifelike experience. But in an incident happen, he suddenly awoken in the game world that he had played in the body of one of the villains. For a person from a different reality, he once again went through a harsh environment with the body that he's in, Reed, was hated by almost everyone.
But things weren't that bad for him in several occasion, making him lived the life he had that time was quite easy than the ones he had been through in his previous life. He had a trusted servant, Sei with him, a person whom he could call a friend, Kirara, and finally an ally that he desperately wanted, Trysia.
As time passes by, he slowly adapt his new life as Reed in the new reality that he was strangely awoken on. But little that he knows, his behavior and common senses slowly corrupted and become more like Reed himself, without the bad stuff. Reed, who was known as a null magician and a scum, was known widely by the people that knows him was a failure Nobleman and a disgrace for the nobility. But since Riel had taken over his body, his magic capabilities exploded exponentially.
After the duel he had with Dort, resulting his victory, some students and teachers had a new view towards him, making everyone in the academy both feared and despised him all in the same time, save a handful of peoples who greatly admired him. Riel continues to lived his life as Reed never the less but got mix up with some troubles after. But he went through the muddy waters and kept his life, even though it greatly shakes his mental state.
As times passed by, he went with the main storyline as much as he could. He fears that if he somehow mess with the plot line, things will turn to worse for him and he could very much ending up loosing his life. Though, some of the storyline already diverge from the ones he knew back when he played the game.
In a certain incident, he somehow awoken back in his room, to be exact, his previous life. But he was not alone in the room, Reed, the real one was with him as well. Things become more confusing for him after Reed spout some nonsense to him. But the ones that hit him the hardest was the fact that he already died on earth and the world that he was woken as Reed, now his reality.
After woken back in the world, Elluvian, he somehow regain his old appearance as the one he used back he still played the game. At this point, Riel become more confused and somehow different than he was when he was Reed. After shutting down the Dungeon core, he then went back to the surface world, only to find more problems arise. But since he's not Reed anymore, the world shifted into a new direction, making everything he had known was turn up side down.
Thats a recap for the first Volume of A Sudden Life in a New World. Truth be told, me, as the writer, had a good time writing this novel as I as well wanted to know the journey that Riel will took part in the future. As for the inspiration for this novel, I'm a die hard isekai reader myself, and after read some web novel and mangas regarding this genre, I haven't had found the one that strike my personal taste. I'm not saying that the novels and mangas that I had read were terrible. in fact, without them, I will not had the thoughts to write a story of my own.
And I already had seen the reviews that Dear Readers had commented on my works. For the comments for the cover page for the novel, I did wants to change it to a more appealing cover, but I haven't found an artists that could present the one that I had envision. And as for the title, I had some thoughts to change it to Elluvian as per the world that Riel had reincarnated. But I will gave some time for Readers to give me some suggestions.
A thousand apologies for not updating frequently as I did before… because of this pandemic, me, as well as all of us, had really impacted our livelihood and did a great deal of hardships. Peoples loosing their jobs and some couldn't do business as they were back then. Its truly a terrible year for us all. Thus, any help that Readers can provide me will greatly help me in continuing this novel.
I am but a newbie writer with no backing whatsoever. But with the support of the Readers, I will continue on to write my novel with gladden heart. Truth be told, I never expected welcoming and warm reviews from readers for my work. Thats why, your supports greatly impacted my hopes as to write this story forward!
Aside from this novel, I have some other works that I'm working on present. Though I haven't publish some of them, I greatly recommend that Readers should took a peek on them as well. Though I will put much attention to this works since this is my joy to shared with others in the future. Can't let the imaginations run dry, yea…? The journey is still long and the roads are still unknown.
Though, creating a story really makes my brain exhausted. Structuring plots, characters developments, I salute to the writers all over the world for bringing joy to Readers, such as myself. Writing is no easy tasks… without proper environments and ideas, it felt like I'm hitting a brick wall… sigh… but alas, the challenge really excites me! And I know that many writers had the same feelings that they had like I am. Thus, I will keep on writing for Dear Readers.
Once again, I thank greatly for reading my works, Dear Readers. Without your supports, I'm not the person that I am today. I'll be forever grateful if Readers continuing on supporting my works in the future. You guys are the best!!!
Volume two will be released in the nearest future for the continuation of the story. Now that Riel had regain his original appearance, with the emergence of the dungeons… what path will Riel take as the story progress? All will be revealed in the next volume (sorry for the cliche remarks…)!!!
