"Fake happiness is just the desire of delusional people"
-Anesthesia
It arrives through a simplistic and minimalistic way. One compares himself to another, thus brings the annoying feeling of jealousy and insecurity. An extra pound is the equivalent of the standard bovine, but in more often cases, a pesky boar; Slight differences in complexion brings the verdict of one's failure to please the standards for beauty; and the latest of technology is for the upper caste, whilst the second-hands passed from mother to son is symbolized as "unfortunate."
We know of this issue in society, but only the minority of the minority actually contribute to the changes in this insight of what we deem "the unfortunate." Some voice out their opinions, thou without proper knowledge nor experience. These are the people which we like to call "bandwagons." Some might have good intentions, some for self-satisfaction, but the common end of the actions of these bandwagons are just futile, and most of these even worsen the already present anxieties of the unfortunate.
The majority of the people in the society are silent. They may or may not know, but because of their unwillingness to be involved in conflicts for the greater good, they don't do anything. The common reason for people like this is "I don't have anything to do with it." It reflects how people are naturally selfish and self-centered.
And the worst of the sectors are the people who not only care but actually impose these insecurities upon the mindsets of the people already affected and the young, who are prone to becoming members of depression. These are the ones who exchange "humane" for money. Driving down the roads seeing advertisements comparing the beautiful white skin to the skin which they deem "dull." Panics due to pimples, blackheads, and all these common changes in our body during puberty are taken advantage of by the television, who promote products to rid of these disturbances.

Rise of a Scarlet Devil (Regular+Draft Version)
A young girl slain during a war was brought back to life by some unknown force millennia later. She could only remember a vague face within her memories, uncertain as to who it was but there was one thing she did know. She needed to kill that person. But she was too weak, she needed to hide, to grow. She needed to flee from the battlefield her enemy reigns over. And to do so, she needed to run eastward, towards Helios, a safe haven for those who have lost their homes in the war. And where she would grow to become the strongest Hunter under her own strength. What was it that brought her back? Only time will tell. #Author's Note The novel is organized like this:Regular Chapters (Act, Title, Part (ranging from 1 to 9))Draft Chapter DisclaimerDraft Chapters (Entry Number, Perspective, Title, Part (ranging from i to ii)) Regular chapters are edited chapters that reflect the story aspect more while Draft chapters reflect plot progression more. An occasional interactive chapter will appear in the drafts but nowhere in the regular chapters. Expect changes when reading between Regular and Draft chapters as some events in the story may change in length or entirely removed/changed. Only read the draft version if you want a future view and/or opinion on the story and design elements. The main character is a human from a fantasy world reincarnated as a devil. The story possesses Reincarnators, Transmigrators, and Summoned Persons. though mainly focusing on Magic and other abilities such as Aura and Skills. Wizards (those who prepare arcane spells) and Mages (those who use elemental magic) are separate but seen as the same by common inhabitants of the world but clearly defined as different by more influential persons and by the circles themselves. The main character WILL not be a Mage or Wizard but will incorporate mana into her attacks to aid her as does any high-rank combatants. The system in the novel quantifies a person's abilities and keeps record of them but does not define natural ability, occasionally granting special abilities as skills to a person once prerequisites are met. There is no leveling system and no occupational systems in the novel featuring only a stat based and skill based system. Also, this novel is my first and will most likely be trash.

Additionally, given how this is essentially a story version of a Tabletop game there is also a background RPG system that while the characters aren't necessarily aware of, the readers can see these stats to know how each chosen 'Action' effects their character's development.
