>>50500711There's a fic I've been imagining in my head for almost a year now, and if I ever were to begin writing it I believe it'd be the only one to make it to chapter 10. It would go much further actually, since I have so much to add to it, but none of my other current/planned series would make it to 10 chapters. Probably.
I mentioned it to the thread once or twice, briefly. I also said that if I didn't release chapter one within a month the thread could call me a faggot, because at the time I was genuinely preparing to publish the first part. Then I got scope creep and backed down, because I wasn't sure if I'd ever be able to finish something so ambitious in my time here. In fact, I'm certain that I won't be able to. So uh, go ahead and call me a faggot I guess.
The concept revolves around a world inhabited by humans and "devils", although devils are just a broad term for non-humans (ranging from basic monsters like vampires and werewolves all the way to mythical creatures like the Kraken and the Wendigo). Devils require human blood to survive and generally hunt humans by night. The world has been taught from birth that they are the enemy. Devils can also take on human forms to hide (almost) all their beastly features. To defend humanity against the threat of devils, an organization was formed by the government -- "The Devil Hunters". Their job is to, obviously, hunt devils.
To assist them in the fight against devils, The Devil Hunters crafted items called "artifacts". These allow humans to wield magic, a resource that was previously only available to devils, who could use magic naturally since birth. Nobody knows how artifacts are made, only that they're crafted in a top-secret lab closed off to anyone besides The Devil Hunters' innermost circle of leaders and scientists. High-level artifacts are given to devil hunters to assist them in defeating devils, while low-level artifacts are sold to the general public to provide them with electricity. In this world, I planned for electricity to exist, but only via installing low-level artifacts into your home/appliances. Humanity basically relies on these artifacts for living, like how modern day humans rely on electricity.
The story would follow three protagonists. (You), a new and aspiring devil hunter recruit; Marine, a pirate with a vendetta against The Devil Hunters; Towa, a devil that hates violence and wishes to make human friends... or even become a human.
I have a large portion of (You)r story planned in my head, a decent amount for Marine but almost none for Towa besides a few key plot points. At around chapter 10, I'd say (You) have just fought The Devil Hunters' most elite agents and been defeated, having learnt their dark secrets about what artifacts truly are and what The Devil Hunters stand for. Down a leg and an eye and on the run, you are approached by a devil who you previously thought was a human (Botan). She introduces you to the resistance. Marine would be either closing in on the truth behind her apparently deceased friend (Aqua), or making deals with a hidden society that haven't made their true intentions clear (HoloX). Towa would be... being Towa. Maybe she'd be making friends with the human Subaru.
Other key characters would include Suisei (the antagonist), Mel (sex vampire), Mio (sex wolf), Anya (who would become your sword later on), Oga (the king of devils who you would inherit power from), Miko (rival turned ally), Koyori (scientist with hidden intentions), Roberu (ally and bro), Izuru (ally and bro with an explored backstory), Shion (witch of the Houshou Pirates), Nene (daughter that was adopted against your will) and even some non-holos like Pomu (who would live in your breast pocket like a Zelda companion) and Shibuya Hal (a terrifyingly strong devil hunter). The cast is bigger than this, but I can't list all of them unfortunately.
Ah, autism.
