Synopsis
IDEA AND GENERAL PLOT CONCEPT (strongly recommended to read for a better understanding of the created text):
Preliminary title: 8 and more outcomes of visiting the ominous valley.
This text was created exclusively as a plot concept for a graphic novel or manga with all its classic attributes. Therefore, it was decided to forgo detailed names and dialogues, conveying only the main ideas of the conversations and some plot scenes.
The original language of the text is Russian. I translated it into English and Japanese using online translation services, so I apologize in advance for the numerous grammatical and syntactical errors in the text. I hope this translation will allow you to get some insight into my story. Throughout the narrative, there will be INSERTS – large, spanning two full pages, horizontal images of various scenes and landscapes described in the story in the style of artists like H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński, again done in black and white to match the overall drawing style. Additionally, according to another debatable idea, the different plot volumes or the first three can be executed in different styles and drawings. Such descriptions are purely figurative, and the detailed execution is left to the improvisation of the artist.
The story is conditionally divided into 8 volumes, consisting of 43 chapters. The division into volumes and chapters was made based on the contextual meaning written in them. You may suggest your own gradation, but presenting the entire story in 8 volumes is highly desirable. The number 8 in the title not only refers to the total number of volumes but is also an interpretation of the symbol ∞ (infinity), symbolizing the eternal repetition of this story in an infinite number of realities. While writing this text, I avoided using names for simplicity and to avoid cliches. However, in the last section, I will suggest a description (not mandatory) of the names and appearances of all the main characters in the story. The last section with character descriptions contains spoilers. Please only proceed to it after reading all volumes of the main plot.
The plot is a non-linear story with time and reality shifting using a certain scheme. Various storylines from the perspectives of several characters occur in multiple realities, forming and complementing the overall story. In this story, I wanted to reflect the importance of themes such as the value of each meeting and moment, the realization of the impact of unpredictability on one's entire life, the acceptability of sacrificing lives for a greater purpose, the vastness and mystery of space, and the laws of time and space. I deliberately overdramatized some scenes in the story, as excessive emotionality is characteristic of the Japanese storytelling style.
P.S. All of the above is just my preferences and is not mandatory. If you ever use this material to create a commercial or non-commercial project, please credit the initials Ars. E. O as the idea's author. If you are an artist or a professional screenwriter and find this material interesting, you can help me fulfill my long-time dream of creating my own manga or graphic novel. I would also be delighted with any adaptation of my text into a full-fledged project, whether it's a film, animation, series, etc. I guarantee my full assistance and support. Thank you for your time :)
