On the flat world of Arret where the moon never sets and mortals live in perpetual unrest, there exists a 'Concept' for every idea conceived, and these Concepts are masked, immortal magicians embodying the very idea they are named after.
The Concept of 'Heart' spends every single day of her immortal life tending to her Silkmoths, weaving and sewing and singing songs to herself while secluded on a little island in the middle of nowhere - and for the past eight millennia she has lived each day exactly the same as the last, not once daring to go beyond her little island.
But, one night, calamity befalls her eternity. Stars wink out one by one and the seas evaporate before her eyes, her island unfortunate collateral damage in a battle between powerful Concepts. Now, faced with the destruction of her home, she is forced to venture off into the world for the first time in eight millennia, armed only with a sewing needle she can turn into a flute and what she believes is the weakest magic in the world.
"... Travelling by myself can't be that bad, can it?"
What to expect:
An emotional yet fiercely determined protagonist.
A massive fantasy world explored through lots of travelling. Lots of it. Characters move from new place to new place between arcs, making for a fantasy epic with lots of worldbuilding and intricate lore.
A story with lots of character and landscape illustrations, all machine made and further drawn upon by me.
Connections between characters and events from this fiction with those from 'World Concept - Absolute' and 'World Concept - Infinite', as all three fictions take place in the same world. It isn't necessary to read all three to understand what happens in one, however. Each fiction can be read standalone.
Story planned downwards for eight years, starting from the ending. ~3 million words for this one fiction, ~9 million for all three fictions, short story spinoffs not included in word count. ~4k words per weekly chapter for this fiction.
If you like super long fantasy epics with very light LitRPG elements and deep mysteries about the world itself, 'World Concept - Heart' might just be the right story for you.
