Beginning





This marks my first attempt at striking some interest in my work in progress, Strife, of the Ruthless Destiny Chronicles. This is the final installment in the timeline and what initially caused me to merge the stories into a single universe.



Summary

Set in the distant future, the world has been withering away. The land sinks into the oceans, and extinction claims most indigenous life while the people cling to what remains. A single continent is left on the planet, called Yndel, along with small islands scattered through the seas. Four dominant races live together on Yndel; humans, wyverians, genesians, and xynthetics and in the struggle to control the land, war begins to emerge.

After the events of Destructus, a young man named Strife sets out to stop the war and keep the people from consuming themselves in a seemingly doomed world.



That's the short of it. The story has been brewing in my mind for years, and developing every day. It is my wish to turn this into something compelling- something that people can enjoy reading, watching, or whatever path I can manage it onto. It contains high elements of fantasy (magic, sci-fi, and so forth) and is inspired from many things that influenced me ever since I was an imaginative child.
The concept of Strife as well as its prequel, Destructus, started from a rather silly idea that I scribbled into a five-minute story. Amused by it, I made a sequel, and then another, and another. Before I knew it, I was fascinated with the characters and the world I had created, despite their peculiar quirks. It's on my mind each and every day, and I hope to finish it and the others soon. There's a long road ahead of me still, but I'm committed to see it through.

I will be posting progress of the story, to lay out its foundation and better explain the details such as the nations, races, and events that have brought the story to where it is now.
