How To Beat The Forest

The Unicorn's Forest

Vol 1: The Unicorn's Forest Charlie Rivers is a 14-year old girl who is trying to get through high school without being noticed when she finds herself hearing a voice asking for help when she is only one of two who can hear it. She agrees, despite the fact the other person is someone she doesn't like. When she meets the 'voice' that needed help, she learns that it's a unicorn, yet she's the only one who seems to be able to see the horn. Everyone else thinks it's a horse. Charlie also learns that by having agreed to help the unicorn, she'd gotten herself involved with a group of friends, including the other person who can hear the unicorn, that she hadn’t been really involved with before. Not only is it changing her normal schedule drastically, given she hadn’t hung out with anyone before, but even her personal space seems under attack at times. As she continues to help the unicorn, she funds that going back to how she was isn’t as attractive as it had once been, before she was helping the unicorn but also she wonders if she really would want to. *Minor spoiler in the synopsis for vol. 2 if you haven't read vol. 1* Vol 2: Tip of Other Worlds Charlie and her friends begin traveling to other worlds in search of the world that the griffin canyon connects to. While they do that, Charlie finds herself torn with wanting to grow her relationship with Alex and beginning the expedition through different worlds. Then as the expedition begins, she finds more than she ever expected to find on other worlds, but ever in the back of her mind is the dream she had in which Beth, her best friend, dies in. A dream she's determined to keep from happening, even if she has to sacrifice the friendship that's come to mean so much to her. *Minor spoilers in vol. 3 synopsis* Vol. 3: Acclimating to a New World Charlie leaves her friends and is taken by The Lost. Her friends continue on and encounter a family who has the same disease they had just recovered from. While helping them, they learn about how this world is that of a matriarchal society and has been since ancient times. What that means they can't say, only that it's going to be awkward. Charlie comes to after a while, feeling like her brain had been I'm a fog and that she had been in a waking dream, only to find she's naked and in a kind of cage where she learns she's been taken as a slave. While she has no idea how this happened, she's determined to find a chance to successfully get out of that situation. Mature content will be either through implications or will only extend to the edge of it. The cover art was ai generated.

Beyond The Forest Of Despair

"Beyond the Forest of Despair" follows the journey of Chrome Wayfarer, a seventeen-year-old boy overwhelmed by despair. In his world, where talent and lineage define one's worth, Chrome is seen as worthless—not because he lacks talent, but because his lineage is considered insignificant. Those with strong backgrounds often bully those without, overshadowing any talents they may have. Chrome's father's choice to marry for love rather than wealth alienated their family from their wealthy relatives, leaving Chrome and his parents struggling to make ends meet. The constant ridicule and lack of prospects drive Chrome to a desperate act: he attempts suicide by jumping off his rooftop. But fate has other plans. Instead of death, Chrome awakens in a mysterious forest filled with strange and eerie noises. The forest, known locally as the "Forest of Despair," marks the boundary between the familiar and the unknown. As Chrome stumbles through the thick woods, he realizes that he's in an entirely different world, confirmed by the sight of two suns in the sky. Emerging from the forest, Chrome encounters a vast city some miles ahead, surrounded by high walls and a central tall tower that looks as if it reaches the sky. His sense of wonder is interrupted by a lady riding a wyvern on patrol, who lands near him. The forest of despair is a known no-go zone, and the sudden appearance of a gigantic creature, which he mistakes for a dragon, causes Chrome to lose his balance and fall, his face filled with fear and uncertainty. The lady, noticing his bruised and battered condition, refrains from pressing him further and offers to take him to safety within the city. In this new world, Chrome discovers that every soul born here receives a unique system—an inherent guide aiding in growth and development. However, because Chrome's soul is not native to this world, he finds himself without one. This lack of a system sets him apart, challenging him to navigate his new surroundings without the inherent advantages others possess. As Chrome embarks on his journey, he must rely on his wits, determination, and newfound allies. Whether he discovers a system of his own or finds alternative ways to overcome the challenges ahead remains to be seen. "Beyond the Forest of Despair" tells the story of Chrome's journey as he moves from a life overshadowed by despair to one filled with new possibilities. As he faces the trials and mysteries of this new world, Chrome learns that true worth isn't determined by external factors or systems, but by the courage to overcome despair and seek out hope. This is a tale of resilience, discovery, and the search for a new beginning, as Chrome finds his way beyond the shadows of his past and into a brighter future.
