Visual Novel Introduction
My visual novel, which is currently unnamed, takes place in the fictional world of Superficiem. It follows an MC who serves as the player's self or character insert; as a result, the MC will never be shown in-game.
You are royalty in a place called the Gladiolus Kingdom, and are the next in line to take the throne, should something happen to your parents.
Given that the Gladiolus Kingdom prides itself on having rulers who not only mingle with the public, but who also lead their army into battle, you have studied the blade with your royal guard and childhood friend, Liam, and are also knowledgeable in hand-to-hand combat.
Additionally, the Gladiolus Kingdom is blessed with both rulers and subjects who wield magic that is powerful enough to power many -- if not all -- of the kingdom's facilities. You are skilled enough with your magic that you are able to utilize it in tandem with your blade, creating a dance between magic and metal during any battle you find yourself in.
However, the idea of taking the throne is not a happy one, as you find yourself feeling overwhelmed by the growing amount of responsibility that you find yourself burdened with as you progress into young adulthood. Not only that, but you often worry about your ability to lead the kingdom in a positive direction once it comes under your rule.
On one morning, as you and Liam walk towards the dining hall, you idly say, "Do you think we could run away together?"
It was supposed to be a joke.
The universe, however, seems to disagree, and you find yourself plummeting to the ground of an unfamiliar city. People who are not your subjects surround you, gazing upon you with curious and concerned eyes. Not only that, but...
None of these people are human.
