I’m following close behind XD My creativity can’t seem to focus on one story at a time right now. @LacySheridan was also working on four books Welcome to the Simultaneous Club a.k.a the I Can’t Focus On One Story Club a.k.a the I Can’t Stop Creating Projects Club.
So, she knows who he is and that’s why she’s mentoring him? Does he know why he is being mentored? What’s the role of a guardian in your world? What do they do? How long do they live?
Atlia only has one book which I’m trying to write. The story begins in the fictional state of New Soleil, so I might call it the Fantasies of New Soleil or something like that, idk XD I already have another book that began in New Soleil (an Alice in Wonderland thing).
LHSB is set in Elgana and there are four books taking place in Elgana with a fifth on the way (lion girl MC)
I’m proud to be a member XD does it really count if two of them are poetry compilations, though?
Nope. Nobody knows who he is, not even himself. It doesn’t help that he doesn’t have any legal records—trust me, they’ve scoured the databases, but he simply doesn’t exist legally.
It’s a long story. So in this world, there are two types of people: gifteds (who have magic or superpowers) and ordinaries (normal humans like you and me). The gifteds have always made up a tiny percentage of the population. To put it into perspective, there are hundreds of millions of people, and there are only around a hundred thousand gifteds. Wild monsters lurk in that world, and only gifteds have the power to kill them. If they don’t kill the beasts, then the beasts will just wipe out the population, so that’s why the guardians are there in the first place: they’re all gifteds who are there to protect people. They’re also there to combat sorcerers, who are gifteds who use their powers for evil purposes.
In that story, the number of guardians is decreasing because a lot of them have been killed in recent decades, so she’s mentoring him so that he can be added to their ranks. He definitely knows why he’s being mentored. He knows that only people like him have the power to protect the world from beasts, and now that there are even less of them, he has no choice. No gifted has a choice; they’re all forced to become guardians now.
Guardians (and gifteds as a whole) tend to live slightly longer lives than ordinaries. They have an average lifespan of about a hundred years. The average ordinary lives to the age of eighty or around that.
This is only for that particular universe. I have a lot of imaginary worlds
Oh, you mean Red and White and In Between? You’re rewriting that, aren’t you?
You remembered! It’s got a new title now. Between Roses. And I rewrote it. Coming to a Wattpad near you in 2022
Maybe lol XD Was there an Old York if there is a New York? How about an Old Hampshire and a New Hampshire? I just didn’t want to look up the streets of real California and the names of towns and where everything is. So I made New Soleil which is essentially California, but condensed and fictional.
New Soleil is also my image of what I think California is like based on movies and YouTubers. So, yes, it might be a big old stereotype, but no one can get mad because it’s fictional
Well, they’ll be made to work for the Guild (the organization that the guardians are a part of) in some other way or be punished.
Being a guardian is a tough job, but it pays super well. Even if you’re a recruit, which is the lowest rank, you can still earn enough to buy a nice car with a month’s salary, and a house after a few months. They also pay you extra for every beast you kill (and the more deadly the beast, the more handsome the reward). As a result, a lot of gifteds actually want to become guardians, because money I have a character who’s like that. He looks at beasts the same way he looks at paychecks.
It also helps that there are smaller beasts that are much less threatening, so even the newbies will have an easy time killing them. Recruits are always assigned in pairs when they first start out, and always in villages/towns that are safer.
Oooh, I’ll be keeping an eye out for that
Old York is just York that’s in the UK and I think Old Hampshire is Hampshire in the UK same with New Jersey, New England, and all the New Cities.
Oh, a stereotypical fictional California which parts of this fictional California will be featured more often? The fictional Silicon Valley, the fake LA, or the alternate San Francisco?
Mostly likely LA. That’s where all the movies take place, right? And where all the somebodies live and make their YouTube vids, right? It’s probably LA.
White sidewalks, middle-class and high-class houses. Clean parks with green lawns. Houses with big pools. Some HUGE mansions that you wonder what the heck people do in there all day if only a small family owns it. That’s what’s there. There’s also probably a “boulevard” with “palm trees” where people walk around and drink boba tea in front of a sunset for social media or something
Ah, makes sense that it’s LA the middle and upper-class homes reminds me of American suburbs in general. I’m studying in the US right now, and it’s a bit weird seeing all these spacious homes. Even the smaller houses look cozy and have a decent amount of lawn space. I also noticed that they don’t have fences, which makes me uneasy coming from a country where fences are everywhere (and a house with no fence is basically a robber’s delight).
Are a lot of those communities gated or are they open?
Reminds me of my character. She has huge castles (she owns more than one), but she only really lives in one of them. Even that one is huge and has a hundred rooms or something, but it houses only two people: the protagonist and the rescuer, and before the events of the book, the rescuer lived alone.
That sounds so much like California. (And I went to a boba tea shop last night, but I didn’t get boba. I just got mango tea )
I can’t relate well Japan is a pretty safe country from what I hear, so I can understand having no fences. Even then, if I move to another country and buy a house there, I will have a fence no matter what XD
It was impulse. I was walking home from the music building when I was thirsty, and there was a boba shop nearby so XD
Haha, it’s fine, I don’t get riled up if you don’t like boba XD although some Asians I know might call you sacrilegious. (I’m usually too lazy to chew the balls, so I prefer the tea without the boba )
Oooh interesting! They’re immortal, you say? How was the world created, then? Like how’d they come to be?
And Atlantis era sounds fun and interesting! Which book is this for, by the way?
The story is written from an outsider’s POV, so he just learns that they have enclaves in the modern world, and procure supplies through normal, usually dishonest, means. He, however, only has access to the Sanctuary Island at the River Don, not the enclaves. They normally have celiac problems so mostly they are meat-eaters, though some buckwheat and millet is also mentioned. As for weather, it’s southern steppes, so it’s hot and dry in the summer and cold/wet in the winter, could be freezing cold with snow.
No, not really. Centaurs were a result of a curse during the Yamnaya (the first horse-riding steppe culture) migration. A lot of the story is dealing with what happened to them.
