Hey
You, yes you
The one reading, thank you for being here first of all
And don't worry, there is no horror or curses or amputation or monsters here
Just us two and some of my crew
So welcome aboard my ship
This part will be about what is this story all about and the inspirations that led me to start this
But let's talk about our major character
One that is :
I am the one who has these twisted dreams which correlate to The author
So this is how it goes the author sometimes gets nightmares, and then he burdens those nightmares to me
And I burden those nightmares on you
This leads us to you the reader
The second major character of this story
You are a guy that lives in this dark fantasy medieval island
But you are special you can help "asad" in his journey
First, because you need to feed on his dreams, after all, you want to ascend, don't you?
Second, because you want to see his end of the story
Now for the inspirations that made me start this book
Firstly being a fan of "junji ito" work
So I want to stick to his style
Short horror stories that sometimes make sense sometimes do not, sometimes have a good end closure some do not,
Secondly, these are my dreams
And since one day I wanted to remember the things I dreamt of
I started writing them down
Then I thought of creating a world around them
But this being the first book I made
I want to stick again to the word short
A fun fact do you know the name "Asad" means lion in the Arabic language
Hmm now that I think of I didn't give you a name in the story so how about I call you:algharib" which translates to the stranger
If you do not want that you can tell me in a comment
Now another inspiration is being In love with strange things and the Sea
Like adventures in the sea which take us to places that we don't know yet
This story will be the first piece of the map that you and I will create and fill
Now we don't have much time left
There is a storm coming and I don't want you to get stuck here
So I have to sail the ship, but you my friend I will see you again
We will share more thoughts on the events of the story and more
May god guide you back friend, so don't forget to take care of the precious you in the meantime
