《Modern Phantasia: siVisPride (Original!Urban Fantasy, Survival Thriller)》(META) What the FAQ Did I Read?! (First Time Readers)
Advertisement
Hey all! Thanks for morbid-clicking this fiction. If you wanna read on and forgo this little FAQ, proceed and I hope I surprise you. If you're the one needing a little more persuasion; then I'll try my best.
For you trope-y bunch, this is a head-tilting mix of Kamen Rider, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Kingdom Hearts and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Yeah. That's more or less the mood, tone and direction of story I'm going for.
This is going to be a weird story. If you're looking for something kinda different, kinda new, then you've come to the right place. At the heart of this story, I just wanted to make something unique in a sea of same-old and trends and franchises. Not mocking anyone who does--fuck, I love said franchises, but I do admit missing the time of my life just flipping through something and discovering a new series to check out.
First off, this is an Urban Fantasy YA story. Ew--yeah I know--but this is just to make a point of something. At the end of the day, you can do a lot with a genre. So while you will go through teen angst, I'm going to be avoiding the usual pitfills. Blackhole romance, everyone loving the MC, MC doing everything--nah. Also, the fantasy is homebrewed, so no werewolves or anything.
I know this is going to be a dealbreaker to some, but also, this is not going to be a weak-to-strong story, nor cultivation, nor LitRPG. If anything, they're gonna suck at using their gifts until they get better at it--and even then, that doesn't mean victory. It's not what one has, it's what they do with it. So these fights and action sequences will be very scrappy and very hard earned.
Finally, this is going to be a daaaaark story. Not just in terms of gore or disturbing themes, but there will be long stretches of story where shit sucks and things are a bummer for a while. Not only that, it's more that Life itself is the Big Bad, more over than the actual story one.

...So yeah, all that thrown together--WHY even write this thing? Well... There's something interesting about humanity that I always gravatate towards. Even while beaten, broken, says everything sucks... We can move along until something harsher than our wills or minds crumbles that into dust. I'm interested in that diacomony. I wanna explore that. So this series at the end of the day, is about people trying to figure life out and goes through shit and ends up understanding it... Realizing that they survived all this shit and they're still here.
After all, that counts for something... Right?

Comment your thoughts and thank you, once again.

8 178Coalescence of Two Lifetimes
Cilen was you typical, run-of-the-mill kinda guy. Well, until his parents passed away when he was 17 forcing him to learn to grow up. Fast. He figured it wouldn't be that bad. He had a house, he had an inheritance, he had friends that kept him company. And at first, it really wasn't anything But sometimes, the loneliness just gets to you. Sometimes, the expectation to not disappoint just gets to you. Sometimes, life just gets to you. And it brought Cilen to his knees, lamenting, cursing, questioning, "why?" "Why did his parents pass away as they did, forcing him to fend for his own?" "Why wasn't he born in a rich household, with a silver spoon in his mouth that catered to his every need?" "Why was every step forwards so difficult, in this accursed society?" He wished that everything would be easy, like inside the worlds of the wuxia novels that he had grown up reading. Special constitution, lucky breaks, fast powerup, get all the chicks and defeat the big evil guy. Simple, easy, satisfying. But life ain't cut out to be that way. The main actors were already set, and there was no changing them. Unless, you moved to a different stage... But this ain't one of your friendly neighborhood transmigrations. It rewards those that are patient, creative and willing to adapt. But perhaps Cilen is able to make use of this opportunity and become something more. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ This story is a personal love letter to all the pieces of fiction that I have read. Its a culmination of the things that made me laugh, cry and smile when I first read them and It has been a personal wish to craft a story that makes me feel the way I did when reading those stories for the first time. Its gonna be a slow ride but worth it. Promise. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash
