First and foremost, before you proceed, let me get one thing clear here: I will NOT be held accountable for anything that may disturb dear Readers, as this is rated 17+ on the site, and WILL display some gruesome, real-life-inspired, traumatizing events described in details.
So unless you're already used to being exposed to the dark side of humanity, let me say this again :
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING BEFORE PROCEEDING ON FURTHER!
Adult content, there WILL be some explicit scenes of fan service scenes, the ones that aren't as gormless as the tag 'Ecchi' does mostly, the ones that still count as believable.
Body joining scenes, which will exist only countable by fingers, aren't going to be described in detail, as I do not want the Readers to feel weirded out that I put in some effort into such scenes, so I'll leave the moments to the Readers and just show the aftermath. Unless I were to put them in a Patreon or Ko-Fi account of mine, which will be quite far off in between the pacing of the story, but optional nonetheless.
There'll also be some hints at slavery, rape, abuse, and some other more disturbing contents of both genders, differing race, ages, and standing in society, and in between that I AM NOT able to tell any more than this is. They're not for to service the Readers, they're to serve The Story (Just deal with it)
I hope you're reading this because I Will NOT hold myself accountable after these Warnings.
Mild gore will be included but Will be cranked up for the impact, like humanoid spines being ripped by some mutated gorillas, and the aftermath of the decaying carcasses alongside the bugs and another organism that does their job for this.
The story has a planned ending, so do not expect this to go on forever. It'll be taking many inspirations to draw from, notably Mushoku Tensei and Sword Art Online, Mass Effect series and From's Soulsborne installment, and many others too many to list here.
There'll be put some dark scenarios as the focus of the story, but not so much that it'd be Grimdark-lite, which is why this rated 17+ in the first place. Again, I Will NOT be held accountable after this point, further beyond.
Might be about 25 Volumes before it finishes. Could be more, could be less, but it has an end for the MC's journey.
The progression goes from newborn, kid, premature teen, teenager, new adult, middle adult, and fully adult. Goes for everyone, even those who are well beyond their age still get to make mistakes and amends for them. Just Remember: Every Action equals Consequences, even the comedic and romantic ones.
Side stories will be included, which will vary from Slice-of-life moments, mysteries being unfolded back on his old life, and world-questioning catastrophes for the world-building of both 'worlds'.
Power scaling, will go on from a Weak-to-Strong to managing those acquired powers, willingly or not, to not burst them out unsparingly. This'll play an even larger role in the middle part of the story, but that's up for you to experience yourself, I'm not here to spoil further ahead than what I had in plan.
Even if MC gets to acquire some unique power he gets to keep it for himself and fast at that, just remember; He's Not The Only One.
Characters that have Systems, Cultivation, Martial Arts, Regression, Cheats, and so on will out-power the main casts in some way or other. That includes mental and spiritual, and even political further on.
Magic and Technology play the biggest role in everyday life, so expect strategies and techniques like 'cheesing' or 'aggro' to come out when the time comes.
The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.
Arsenals of both Close combat Melee and Ranged weapons will be here, and further on suits of Mechanical and the likes that are HEAVILY Inspired by Dead Space and Mass Effect will make some prominent role at some point.
Pacing, it'll be slow-paced for day-to-day moments, medium-paced for the in-the-moment events that are deemed important, and fast-paced for adrenaline-rushing battles and the like.
Perspectives will change to either give context or have a look at another one's head aside from the main cast, which includes some ethereal beings that watch them. Naturally, this'll include MC's love interest and other acquaintances and their thoughts regarding not just him, but their standings and opinions at the point of that story.
Most of the story will proceed from 1st person perspective, 3rd person perspective, and an Ethereal perspective which will have chapters of their own, telling stories out of the current time the MC is in.
So NO, there's going to be minimal Show; Don't Tell storytelling, as this is going to be what is essentially a Journal of a person's belonging.
Settings will focus on a world with MANY Fantasy themes of their own, like the differences that'd be put out when it's daytime and nighttime, but mostly is spiced with some Modern technology. Hence, Science-Fantasy.
From the Middle-eastern myths, West folklore, Southern architectures, and naturally some ideas I kept inside my head for the 'original' ones after the many inspirations I drew upon.
No outer space exploration, but there'll be some point where 'time jumps' of otherworldly phenomenons might drag the main casts to see history being made.
As it is Earth 2.0 with Magics and Swords, Robots and Suits; naturally modern conveniences like PCs, Video games and the Internet exists, so expect almost every interaction of these elements in most chapter.
Characters, as this'll be having Realism over Plot Armor, there will be next to no cast that'll wear 'extravagant' yet unprotected clothing.
At a further point in the story, their thoughts will also be revealed to the MC after certain Events of Turnabout.
Robotics and Mythological beings have conflicts, background matters, and others outside of MCs knowledge until he gets to learn of them one way or another.
Most people will wear their modern-age clothing like the police guards, students of different academies and schools, and some others.
They have genes that differ from one another. E.g. MC is from a Wolfmen and a Sirenfolk, 1st Love Interest of a Giants and Dwarfs, and many more that are not of basic human genes, which will determine their stats and personality for some.
But most important is: Characters first, tropes later (This includes genders, sexuality, style, etc.)
Romance, it'll be a mixed bag as you know what Harem most often is portrayed as, that is what I most often see in Anime-Esque novels does the most, yet executes the worst in general.
This'll go not only for the MC, as even the so-called 'Side-Villains' will have their own.
Even after the moment of truth, the story will continue. Heck, even some more members to add after MC's marriage, pursuing some quest of his own.
And 'accidents', whether by mistake or not, will have a lasting effect on those affected until they get to some reconciliation of some kind.
I don't know English well and are not fluent, also it doesn't help that I don't have anyone to help me better this globalized language (Editors), so expect many errors and mistakes to be made on every piece chapter released.
I'm an amateur when it comes to writing, so lower your expectations on what's to come, including my schedule which is unruly as ever. Spacing (as in Kerning or paragraph after paragraph), Grammar, Descriptions (e.g., Imagery, Emotions, Actions, etc.), Symbols (e.g., *splashes*, "I can't do this any longer!", `Maybe I should keep this to myself', etc.).
There are no scheduled releases, as I Write When I Feel Like It, so lower your expectations and keep on coming for at least a week or so for updates, but I recommend at least a month.
Lastly, I'll be referencing things that Readers might not understand, so when you see the symbol ʼ, then check the bottom and the comment to know what's what. (e.g., Reminds me of that one sly flying lightbulb ʼ¹.
It ʼ¹ A nod to Bungie's fixation on sentient drones in most of their games, namely Halo 2 Johnson's sarcastic view of 343 Guilty Spark near the game's finale).
It'd be a mix of everything around the globe that people created, whether it be of the West (e.g., Invincible animation, Deus Ex games, Pacific Rim movies), of the East (e.g., Made in Abyss manga, Soulsborne games, Akira anime), and more along the way.
So, why a rewrite? I say it's because the juxtaposition of the prototype for this is quite long, one may say they'll annex a complete book and Volume 1 still won't be done by the end of the year, which it is for my first work.
Don't expect things to play out the same way, even if things are similar for some.
Now, I apologize to those who wanted a continuation of the previous one, but unfortunately, that one will be axed until I think otherwise.
Finally, I want to send this off as a love letter to the storytelling medium of my own as a whole, just one of the very many others who have experienced many stories themselves.
I think that's the gist of it all, and I hope for you Readers on my One Work, A Great Trip.
