So, I've been away for like a year or something... I wonder if anyone still know who I am
Anyway, this is what happened:
So on one fateful day my laptop charger stopped working, and I scramble to get every bit of important data and information onto my USB drive before my laptop dies. Uranium and my most recent save at the time was, sadly, not among the stuff that was salvage in time. As I was getting busier and busier with studying for my Masters degree, only having an outdated save kinda put Uranium to the back of the list of things I care about. I then got a new laptop, but you know, Uranium was still not a priority.
Around last December, I got into writing, mainly because it's less time consuming than gaming. So whenever I'm not busy studying, I've been writing a fictional novel.
A few months ago, I got my old laptop fix, and got back Uranium as well as the save. But still not enough free time to be active again.
Yesterday, I saw's post on Facebook, so today I'm back just to update my guide before going "back into my cave" again.
But before I go, there this one thing I'd like to know. So this fictional novel I'm writing, the story is this:
There's this world that exist along side Earth, where all of our myths and legends are reality, and every "heroes through out the ages" may live here after they die. There are also concepts of rebirth and reincarnation, etc. But here's the twist, everyone goes to this world when we go to sleep, but upon leaving, we forget most of what happened, or simply believe it's just dreams. Well, the normal humans do, there are certain people, called Two-Worlders, who can cross back and forth between the two worlds at will. Current series is basically a fantasy based on old Vietnamese and other Asian countries' folklore and myths with double-life elements that may remind you of Code Lyoko. And the main characters are Vietnamese secondary/middle school students, draw from my own memory and experience at that age. Sequel series may explore other region of the worlds, but I'd like to start where I'm most comfortable with my knowledge, before branching out into the areas where I don't know a lot about.
My story is currently being written in Vietnamese. But, I can translate it into English if my old friends here, and/or a lot of people would be interested in reading that. The The average chapter is around 4k-6k words, and I'm already writing chapter 45 in Vietnamese (well, would be book 4 already if I was to divide the novel series by each small story arc). I speak English as well as my mother tongue, so translate would not be hard for me, just takes time.
I'll check back in a few days, if there's interests, I'll start translating in my free time and post the links here. If not, well, I'll just be continuing in Vietnamese as this could be consider my life project (the original idea actually started since I was in Grade 5, but only after I'm comfortable with my knowledge and writing skills did I started writing seriously last December).
