Welcome, all! this is the first C.C(Characters Chapter) of PARALLEL, since 7 chapters have already been uploaded I thought that it would be a good idea to inform you and give you more detail about the characters and the world of PARALLEL, also this chapter is a celebration of my second book being contracted, Now let us start with the characters designs I have in mind
Luck: He is an island boy that was birthed and raised in the country of Kesio and his main hobbies are volleyball, working out, and playing video games, he is muscular and quite strong, he likes to do things privately, Luck also likes the idea of fighting to the death because he thinks that someone's true self can be revealed in the blink of death, his favorite food? probably beans, he is 177cm or 5'8ft tall and he is 15 years old and his birthday is on the 22nd of December (22/12), he has short black hair and bright yellow/golden eyes, Luck is also a bit tanned since he spent all of his summers on the beach
Caroline: She is a strange girl of unknow origin, she has long white hair and beautiful red eyes, Caroline's hobbies are unknown, Caroline is an energetic girl with a lot of passion for work, she likes to dress and try every style since she is a huge fan of fashion, Caroline is 163cm or 5'4ft tall and she is 16 years old, as for her birthday she was birthed on the 21st of June (21/6)
Destiny: She is the popular girl in the school and also Luck's crush, she has green eyes and short black hair, she is also very energetic and caring for everyone, she came from a foreign country so she ended up losing a school year so she could learn the language, Destiny had an older sister, she is 161cm or 5'3ft tall and she is 16 years old, her birthday is on the 3rd of January (3/1)
Kamira: She is a pretty intimidating woman and tall woman that focuses on her mission and the earth's safety, she has relatively short brownhair and she has dark brown eyes with hints of white, she is usually dressed in a masculine suit to not drive any attention to her appearance, she has a younger brother (Gnomon) which she deeply cares for, and when they were younger Kamira used to spoil him a little too much, Kamira is 194cm or 6.3ft tall and she is 26 years old and her birthday is on November the 13th (13/11)
Gnomon: He is a free soul that does whatever he desires, he is a tall black-haired man with black eyes, he is a very extroverted person that is pleased to meet new people, he has an explosive personality that sometimes comes out aggressive, Gnomon loves his sister from the deepness of his heart and admires everything she did for him, Gnomon is 202cm or 6'6ft tall and his birthday is on the 12th of December (12/12) Gnomon is 6 years younger than Kamira but their difference in age didn't affect their relationship
FUN FACTS:
1. Luck didn't mention it to Caroline but in the summer he also studied about the human body so he knows most humans' weak spots and to top that Luck practiced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Eskrima
2. Caroline doesn't know how to do basic things such as tie shoelaces, whistle, etc. She also has a hard time swimming in the sea so she tries to avoid it as much as she can, Caroline also has no idea how the internet worked until Kamira took a day to teach her
3. Kesio's location is in-between Greece and Italy, most specifically, Kesio's islands are neighboring Peloponnesus and the city of Lecce (Italy) so basically in the Ionian sea
4. PARALLEL was inspired by many other series I have watched/read but the ones that had the biggest impact was "Jujutsu Kaisen" (Specialized mana zones) and a web-comic "the gamer" (mana zones) and as for my power system it was inspired by "HxH"'s nen system but I changed it a bit to fit more to the theme I wanted to create, The matrix also was a big inspiration for the series, all this simulation like world seemed amazing to me
That's all for this chapter! I hope you enjoyed it as much as the official chapters! I thank everyone for the support so far
Thank you everyone have a nice day :) <3
The atmosphere around Africa and most specifically a village in Kenya was completely different from Luck's hometown, the culture, the people, the weather, everything was different, even though Luck hadn't been to Kenya before it felt like home, and the people are to blame for this feeling, the people welcomed Luck with open hands, they also seemed to have a good relationship with Gnomon"They seem to love us, why is that?"Luck asked curiously"There are multiple reasons for that, we provide them food, academic knowledge, and a safe shelter, they can basically sleep with their doors open and nobody will attempt to steal anything since they don't lack anything"Gnomon told Luck, it was abnormal for Luck"Do you mean that you have money to support a whole city?""No, I don't! We actually have money to support all of the countries in Africa"Gnomon replied, Luck was left with an open mouth, after the small discussion Gnomon guided Luck to his favorite place, it was called "The devil's sn
Caroline and the others quickly exited the house and walked up to a wall"Here it is, do you guys feel it?"Caroline asked them with an excited look on her face"Feel what?"Luck asked confused "The mana of course! I guess you are way too new to mana"Caroline said, she then grabbed Luck and Destiny by their shoulder"Prepare yourselves for what you are about to see!"Caroline said, that made the 2 of them anxious, Caroline then entered the mana zone with them, once they all saw the mana zone they were amazed, it was a brand new world, it was a tropical jungle but the trees and plants had completely different colors, there were also standing on one of the multiple cubes that this mana zone had, gravity was also a lighter there"Oh my god! This place is insane!"Destiny yelled in amazement, Luck thought the same too"Guys come quick! we have to find the mana zone's core!"Caroline told them"Wait! Why do we need to find the core?"Luck asked"To make it simple for you, if we slay the
The hours went on very fast at school once again, Gnomon called Luck and Destiny to his office once the day ended, Gnomon just wanted to inform them that they are free for the day, the 2 of them excitingly exited the classroom and went straight towards to Caroline but before they could reach her Floga and his group blocked their way"Now that I found you alone I want to talk about something, Destiny you can leave, I don't need you"Floga told Luck"If you wanted to have a private chat you would have come alone"Luck said, he suspected that Floga was up to something more than just talk, Floga sent all his friends away so they can talk alone"Luck don't play with my patience, now that I told the others to leave tell Destiny to leave too, I don't want to start fighting before the promised hour""I will leave if you promise that you will not hurt him!"Destiny stood up to Luck"Whatever! now leave!"Floga said, Destiny quickly left them alone"Why were you in Kenya? and how did you get ba
"You are Caroline huh? Then I guess you came to take me in right?"Floga asked, his whole face was covered with defeat"I am but not for the reason you think"Caroline told him"Then what? execute me?"Floga said ironically"The UMP wants to hire you as an attack unit they can use for a mission, and I will inform you that with the crimes you have done you don't have any choice"Caroline told him, she then released Floga from the chains and broke the mana zone"Meet us tomorrow at the port, there is where we will all leave for a base of ours"Caroline told him, she then opened the door of the roof and started walking down the stairs, Luck tried to follow Caroline but he was stopped by Floga"How long have you interacting in the parallel world?""Why do you care?"Luck replied to him, Luck then tried to leave but he was once again stopped"She knew about this world too"Floga said, Luck froze in place when he heard that"I don't know who are you talking about..."Luck told him"Don't me
After minutes of waiting Floga finally arrived at the port, he looked tired, Caroline welcomed him with a low wave, Floga then noticed them and walked up to them"So, when are we going to leave"Floga asked Caroline, he ignored everyone else"We can leave right now, so everyone grab me by my shoulder"Caroline said, everyone touched Caroline on her shoulder, and all of them entered a mana zone that a familiar robot had created, Caroline ran up to the robot"Hug support!"She screamed, the robot extended its arms and hugged Caroline"What the hell are you doing?"Luck asked her with a disgusted look"I'm just hugging my good friend Robbie"She replied, Destiny found it cute, but Floga and Luck found it the complete opposite"Please don't call it that..."Luck told her with concern, the group then entered the plane for the base, the whole flight was awkward, nobody dared to speak a word, eventually, Caroline put on some music but her try to ease the mood was a failure, Luck desperately
Caroline and Kamira were about to face off each other, even though Kamira knows that Caroline is strong she doesn't actually know her extract peak in a fight so it was a problematic situation, on the other hand, Caroline was ready to engage at any time with full confidence"What's the holdback Kamira? You said the next attack won't miss me"Caroline told her with a smirk"I giving you one last chance to come back Caroline, I will not be so forgiving"Kamira said while she created star-like spheres around her, Caroline also got into a fighting position"Whoa your famous Stars! I bet they can do massive damage, anyways, I said I won't let you punish me, so if you are ready, strike me"Caroline said, in a flash, a beam came out of Kamira's star, Caroline swiftly dodged the attack, the attack traveled to a mountain in the distance creating a massive explosion"Your attacks are something else!"Caroline complimented as she charged at Kamira, Caroline tried to punch Kamira but she used one
After this unexpected fight Luck woke up inside his house, it was early morning, and the thing that woke up Luck was Caroline's intense tapping on her phone screen, she was playing a mobile game and she was stuck in a level for hours"Come on, I'm on the end please let me get past it"Caroline whispered"What are you doing?"Luck asked her, Caroline threw her phone across the room while screaming, Luck surprised her more than she wants to admit"L-Luck you are awake! How are you?"Caroline asked him with embarrassment"I'm okay, how about your phone? you threw it quite aggressively, you may need a new one"Luck told her, that worried Caroline"No way! If I break another one the agency won't give me another one!"Caroline told Luck"Are you saying you have broken other phones?"Luck asked confused"Well I broke one when I fought with Kamira, I broke it another time before coming here and if I break this one too then I will have to buy an agency phone so let's pray this one is okay!"Ca
After Luck used the element of creation to create bullets Risha was left with her mouth wide open, she couldn't believe her eyes'Kamira did say that he was important but I didn't expect him to be this much'Risha thought, Luck noticed Risha's expression and asked her"What's wrong? Did I do something bad?""No everything is good, I just forgot about one thing, so please continue your training while I'm not here"Risha told him, she then quickly ran outside the training and straight into Kamira's office, everyone working in the base's offices was wondering why she was running like that"Miss Kamira I have very important news to tell you"Risha said as she barged into her office"Well if you are barging in like that then it must be important, so what is it?"Kamira asked calmly"Luck... Luck seems to be a divine too!"Kamira stood up"Take me to him!"Kamira said in surprise, Risha then led Kamira to the training where Luck was training, he was still practicing his shooting skills"Luc
