Before I knew it, I have written 230,000 words in The Shadow of the Beginning. The current data has been maintained between 850-900 collections. For a novice, this is already a good number.
Today I will talk to you about the early storyline. I chose to release it these few days because the plot of Umr City is almost over. In fact, up to now, the story of Umr City is just an introduction, and the real story has not yet unfolded.
Let’s review the previous content first and talk about Silas first.
Some readers may find the content about Silas clichéd and melodramatic.
Some readers may think that the character of Silas has an aura of lower intelligence. How could this little wolf girl fall in love with him so easily
I would like to analyze for you from beginning to end how the little wolf girl Lori fell in love with Silas.
First of all, Lori's love for Silas actually came from love at first sight.
From the very first time they met, Lori was still that of an ignorant girl.
It was Silas who caused her to grow up, and this was also the first time she met an alien, so she became curious about Silas.
When Silas and Lori first met, I wonder if any of you remember that no one in the entire village knew about the witch hunt
That’s because Baideng Village is an isolated village and they don’t even have silver, which is also a foreshadowing.
Why is the absence of silverware a foreshadowing
Because the currency in circulation on the mainland is silver coins, I wonder if any readers still remember that I mentioned this when I introduced the gold mark
This also means that the silver coins circulating in the market are not used in this village.
(I did some research and found that gold coins were not popular in the Middle Ages, but I couldn't find the specific name of the silver coins in the Holy Roman Empire. It was a rather chaotic era.)
What has always attracted Lori is Silas's love for Adina, that kind of persistence.
There is a saying that serious men are the most attractive. In the story, although Silas is a silly wooden man, at least he is very persistent in becoming stronger.
So for Lori, there is an emotional transformation from curiosity to appreciation.
In addition, Silas is set to be a tall and handsome boy.
In this lantern-worshiping village, almost all the villagers know each other, and to Lori, the villagers are like family members.
Suddenly a handsome boy appears. If it were you, would you want to flirt with him
This whole plot describes a wrong love.
Wrong love is an imperfect emotional experience, but it is also the most regrettable and memorable experience.
If you have experienced it, I think you must understand Lori's selfless feeling.
I was young once, and I have experienced this kind of feelings, so I felt very emotional when I wrote this paragraph.
Because you are young, you are so unreserved, but when you grow up and look back on this relationship, perhaps you will smile knowingly.
I used to be so stupid, but that stupidity was sweet, wasn’t it
As we grow up, we learn to be reserved, so we no longer have that kind of reckless emotion.
This kind of feeling may be hidden deep in our hearts. After all, wrong love is hurtful.
In addition, there are many quotes from Dante in this part of the story. I hope to use Dante's Divine Comedy as the tone of this part.
Silas's past story is destined to be sad, but I want to write about the contradiction between humanity, animality and divinity.
Why do we spend so much effort on describing the character of Silas
You will know later. (Funny)
Next, let's talk about Yodkau, Jobtron, Elphis, and Arnold.
Yudekao is a tragic character in the early stage. Although he maintains superficial etiquette and dresses like a gentleman, he is actually very humble in his heart.
The betrayal of his wife Sarita and his own flaws led to a change in his character in his later years.
Elphis is the initiator of his transformation and the first mysterious character to officially appear.
Elphis is also a man with contradictions and secrets. I believe some readers have already seen that there will be more plots about Elphis later.
What conspiracy is this elegant and crazy man planning, or does he want to try a certain result through continuous experiments? This will be explained slowly later in the story.
Elphis will be a very key plot player in the first volume.
But Jobtran's image is completely different from the others, he is careful, observant, and calm and rational.
When such a character appears, he has to face and confront some characters who are opposed to him. The later Yu Dekao is an example.
And although Jobtran is called the Wolf of Umr, he has a gentle heart beneath his cold and serious expression.
Unlike Jobtran, Arnold, who also appears as a righteous person, has unimaginable experiences.
Arnold's psychology and character descriptions are not embellished with much ink, but it can still be seen that he is a man with a sense of justice. However, why he left the Yesu Club is still an unfinished story, and what caused Arnold to join the FBI is also a very exciting plot. Please continue to look forward to it.
Next, I will talk to you about the mythology system and the power system.
A book friend asked me, if you put your mythology system into the same world, won’t there be conflicts in the power system
This is a very interesting question. Yes, if the various myths described in the past were all capable of destroying the world with a wave of my hand, why would I write about ghosts
I made a very bold attempt, and some of my friends in the same industry said I was a stitch-up freak after hearing about it.
But I smiled and said, if you play the Stitched Butcher well, you can become a god, right
All mythological systems will naturally collapse if there is no upper limit on the power system.
But I learned from Boss Squid and created a complete power system.
After a while, I will post the table of the entire power system in the group after I finish polishing it.
In my opinion, the pace of the entire first volume is a bit slow. I will try to make the unnecessary plots in the later part more concise.
It’s my first time writing a book, so it’s inevitable that I have a lot to say. It’s also my first time putting it on the shelves, so it’s inevitable that I feel excited.
