KING ATUILL + OTHEREARTH / excerpt from my current wip “Daughter of Ash and Light” wip page

“I will take you there, then. To Otherearth,” decided King Atuill. 

His words held no waver or hesitation as he spoke. “The place is abandoned, filled with dread and foreign objects collectively made by equally dreadful people—but — I will accompany you there if it is what you desire.”

A smile stretched its way across Enbella’s lips, for her longing to face the unknown outweighed any dreadful views that Otherearth could possibly have in store. 

They would go, and they would survive, together.

So yes, this is about a kid in a video game, but it’s SO much more than that. Simon, our main character, witnesses his best friend, Kat, become badly injured in an accident. One that the doctors say she won’t wake up from and instead of just laying around like a vegetable, video game inventors made “The White City” which is a part of their video game, “Otherworld”, where you can do anything. She becomes part of their project but as Simon is visiting her she wakes up screaming. Simon tries to tell the doctors that something is wrong, but no one will believe him. So, it’s Simon who needs to save his best friend from whatever is happening, and it’s obviously not all rainbows and sunshine like the doctors say it would be.

There were a lot of parts in the book that reminded me of the Hunger Games. Different parts of lands that Simon traveled to had different obstacles for that land specifically. There was a land of greed, etc. But, to get Simon out alive, he had to figure out what that land was all about and outsmart the system.

Making more deities for my OC universe OtherEarth. This is specifically for the prequel thing called OverEarth
