Okay! Here we are, back again with a new beginning!
Now, this story will be slightly different than the ones I've done in the past, but although it is labeled to the 'general audience'. It Will eventually have a darker and older tone to it. Although not as bad as my other works.
Now, I'm also going to be using a different format than in my previous stories, I'm not sure if it will work or if it will be better to read. I am mainly testing it out to make it easier and quicker to write a chapter, I do aim to have a chapter every day, but don't hold me to that :(
I have said I've been busy in real life recently and that will remain, and as said many times. Writing is a hobby, unfortunately I literally can't afford to spend all day writing, nor can my brain function that way.
Anyway, enough of all this, this is just a small introduction to the story starting below here. If you don't read this then the story might seem... strange to you.
*Disclaimer*
This story is set in Japan. But not the Japan in real life. But rather a 'different, more fictional Japan' Although I will try to keep some things as close to real as possible. I also am NOT from Japan, nor have I been to Japan. Henceforth, this way of writing is to protect my ignorance of the country :/
Some of the story will have stereotypes, while it also will be extremely different from other stories out there I hope!
Anyway, here is some key information for you all!
The 'Yen' Will be equivalent of 100 Yen - 1 Euro.
1 Euro will be 2 dollars. While the 'Pound' is not in use, instead the Euro is used across Europe.
This isn't as an insult to countries that don't use the Euro, but it is to keep things simple for me, the author. I myself am English, hence I was tempted to make the 'Pound' the currency, but on better thought, I decided not to do that...
Honorifics:
I will be using honorifics during the story, now. As said, I'm not Japanese. If anything is used incorrectly please don't bash me hard. :( Just drop a comment and it will be updated, however, not the entire story will be set in Japan. So do keep that in mind.
You might notice that I mention some things in the story that seems somewhat strange. Now, the 'world' is actually something I have used in my previous work of 'Fresh start leads to darkness' if you want the full exposition I recommend reading that. But I will list some of the differences here in case you want to know, although it will be mentioned inside this story.
World changes:
Much more peaceful world, less wars. Meaning some different borders, an example would be England and America having totally different languages. England speak a mix of old Saxon English and german. While American is a totally different language. Of course, everything I type will be in 'English' that we know here, I won't be using any foreign words nor Japanese.
Also, the world is richer than the real one. More minerals and ores, while governments also didn't fight over them, leading to more being around.
Technology is also vastly different. It evolves at a slower pace than in real life, so I can keep it within the realm of realism and in reach of my own knowledge.
Because of currency differences and technology differences, technology costs more in this world, but people have more disposable income than in real life, while some costs may be a bit more general and simple than in reality as well.
People in this world haven't taken to 'games' or the internet until recently, meaning the general populace is healthier and also loves sports events. Also the entertainment industry has only recently exploded into popularity.
The people in this world aren't as cunning nor 'evil' as some of the 'evil' people in the real world... It's hard to explain, but it will be made clear if you read my work before mentioned. Where the main character was much more cunning because her world was on the edge of collapse, leading to more 'evil' and 'immoral' actions becoming commonplace.
I think that is most of the important information! if not, then this chapter will be updated in the future. Another disclaimer. Is that I'm AWFUL, with names. Like terrible, so some of these 'japanese' names are going to be rough... And any name in general. So I apologize in advance.
If you have read up to now I'm impressed, this all seems like rubbish to me, but I decided to write a somewhat introduction and some back story to this world in case they wanted some at the start, mainly because this story is linked to my previous one being in the same fictional world.
*Update.* I don't know if I mentioned the year in my previous work. But if I did. Just like... Ignore it? Anway, this story will be following a calendar type system, so whatever is written on the chapter follow that one!
I hope you can relax, and enjoy this story I will be creating. With its new format I also hope it will be easier for me to write, and better for you all to read... I hope you have/ had a good day! And I will speak to you all again soon I'm sure!
