《The Legendary Ghost Hunter 》Auxiliary Chapter I: The World
Advertisement
[Disclaimer: This chapter is not a Jojo's reference.]
Because I just can't find a good place to toss in a description of the world in the story without ruining the flow, I'll just put one here. Bear with me.
The reality plane of LGH (this novel) is one massive island. If you've read my other novel, Ascension: Online, then it's similar to Ascentia... except instead of 8 continents, there are 26 'Districts'.
For clarity's sake, every District in this novel is just labeled from A-Z. Okay, that's a lie, it's just because I suck at coming up with names. Don't worry though, with all the context provided, it won't be confusing which District is which. I guarantee that.
In the center of the island, where District A, B, C, and D meet, the GHO (Ghost Hunter Organization) Headquarters lies. However, it is hidden from the public. In fact, it's actually way high up in the sky, above the clouds, and enhanced with invisibility and radar detection-prevention. The Districts' names go in alphabetical order from there, spiraling in a clock-wise direction outwards to the edges of the island.
District A, B, C, and D are a bit special in terms of layout, however. Each of the four is their own mini-island, far away from one another. Together, they are connected via long bridges hovering over the ocean below, and said bridges form a square around the dead center of the big island (each of the four Districts being a vertex).
The other Districts are all interconnected normally via roads, and connect to Districts A, B, C, and D via similarly-designed bridges.
Overall, the Districts closest to the center of the island have urban cities, while the Districts furthest away have pure nature. The ruralization is gradual throughout.
As for the total land size of this novel's world, the area of the island is roughly the entire surface area of Earth (oceans and all). The island is surrounded by water on all sides, and it's the only landmass on the planet... or is it?

One more thing. 'Eastern' in this novel refers to Ancient Chinese/Japanese style. Although the terms Chinese/Japanese don't exist here in this novel, the races still do, and they tend to live in the eastern districts on the island. Similarly, western refers to the western districts on the island, of course, but also means American/UK style stuff.
All in all, just remember this: The different human races from Earth do exist in this world and live in separate geographical locations, but they aren't distincted from one another using words like Asian or American. In addition, everyone speaks the same language, English.
If you have any questions regarding the world of this novel, just leave a comment and I will answer you to the best of my abilities without spoiling anything. That's all, now go read the first chapter and get addicted to this story!
Oh, and the world's name?

Return of the Woodcutter
Aito Walker was a self-proclaimed martial artist, a criminal, a broken man, and a fishing slave who later became a woodcutter before dying due to his heavy consumption of alcohol.With thousands of other humans, he is forcefully revived into a boundless grey space by the gods of a foreign world, Iris, to take part in a never-ending war waged against Fearmongers. A race capable of corrupting living beings and inducing fear, even the bravest of warriors cannot resist—when the Fearmongers do not kill them, that is.To bait humans into this conflict, the gods offer the mortals powers in exchange of eternal servitude and the completion of trials before finally entering Iris.Even though Aito doesn’t agree with it, he sees in Iris a chance to atone for his past misdeeds, in this fantasy world of swords and magic filled with many races, where everything seems possible.He will pave his own path despite the gods he despises trying to manipulate him into doing their bidding.Aito will start with almost nothing but his wit, a peculiar system, and increased strength—much like other revived humans.Bearing a sin—he could not, cannot, and will not forget—haunting him to this day, Aito will strive to regain what little honor he has left.He will suffer and, at times, fail. Taking advantage of his weaknesses, the Fearmongers, demigods, gods, and many others will hinder his path.But a powerful yearning will keep him from falling apart. An ever-burning flame melting away the despair and welding back the broken pieces of courage.A single desire.«I will find redemption no matter the cost.»………Or not, hun, who knows? The book isn’t done yet. Haha—SLAP!«Who put this guy in the synopsis narration?! Get him out of here and launch the warnings! Now!»***WARNINGS:— The MC is human. If you’re looking for a perfect MC, you’ll only be wasting your time here. However, if you’re looking for an MC who will LEARN, GROW because of his flaws. An MC who will try his hardest to overcome adversity, then you’re in the right place.— No harems. However, it doesn’t mean the characters can’t fool around without having love interests. A relationship isn’t necessary for people to satisfy their physical desires.— You will find a few typos, grammatical and wording issues, that’s certain. I’ll do my best to bring you guys quality content and such issues will either be nonexistent or extremely few. However, one man can only do so much. If I get enough support, I’ll hire an EDITOR that will look at the chaps with a fresh eye. And POOF! Issues no more. Improved quality. Happier author and reader. Not sure if the editor will be happy tho.— The first three chapters are fast-paced as to quickly get into the nitty-gritty but slow down afterward to give the story the time it needs to progress accordingly.— The book can, never mind, it will contain «strong» language, gore and violence.— Comedy, as you know it (and if you don’t, now you know) is subjective. So you might not like the jokes.— If you truly read that until the end you have my virtual congratulations ‘cause I sure as hell wouldn’t have done that.
