《The Legendary Ghost Hunter 》Auxiliary Chapter I: The World
Advertisement
[Disclaimer: This chapter is not a Jojo's reference.]
Because I just can't find a good place to toss in a description of the world in the story without ruining the flow, I'll just put one here. Bear with me.
The reality plane of LGH (this novel) is one massive island. If you've read my other novel, Ascension: Online, then it's similar to Ascentia... except instead of 8 continents, there are 26 'Districts'.
For clarity's sake, every District in this novel is just labeled from A-Z. Okay, that's a lie, it's just because I suck at coming up with names. Don't worry though, with all the context provided, it won't be confusing which District is which. I guarantee that.
In the center of the island, where District A, B, C, and D meet, the GHO (Ghost Hunter Organization) Headquarters lies. However, it is hidden from the public. In fact, it's actually way high up in the sky, above the clouds, and enhanced with invisibility and radar detection-prevention. The Districts' names go in alphabetical order from there, spiraling in a clock-wise direction outwards to the edges of the island.
District A, B, C, and D are a bit special in terms of layout, however. Each of the four is their own mini-island, far away from one another. Together, they are connected via long bridges hovering over the ocean below, and said bridges form a square around the dead center of the big island (each of the four Districts being a vertex).
The other Districts are all interconnected normally via roads, and connect to Districts A, B, C, and D via similarly-designed bridges.
Overall, the Districts closest to the center of the island have urban cities, while the Districts furthest away have pure nature. The ruralization is gradual throughout.
As for the total land size of this novel's world, the area of the island is roughly the entire surface area of Earth (oceans and all). The island is surrounded by water on all sides, and it's the only landmass on the planet... or is it?

One more thing. 'Eastern' in this novel refers to Ancient Chinese/Japanese style. Although the terms Chinese/Japanese don't exist here in this novel, the races still do, and they tend to live in the eastern districts on the island. Similarly, western refers to the western districts on the island, of course, but also means American/UK style stuff.
All in all, just remember this: The different human races from Earth do exist in this world and live in separate geographical locations, but they aren't distincted from one another using words like Asian or American. In addition, everyone speaks the same language, English.
If you have any questions regarding the world of this novel, just leave a comment and I will answer you to the best of my abilities without spoiling anything. That's all, now go read the first chapter and get addicted to this story!
Oh, and the world's name?
Ouroboros.

Sara's (not really) Fabulous System Armageddon, Book I: The World Ended at Rush Hour
Planet Earth, Monday, October 7th, 2019. 18:30 * * On a fateful day, during rush hour in eastern North America, Heavens and Hell crumbled and fell from their higher dimension on Earth. It came from "above" but not the same above we regard in our tridimensional Euclidean reasoning. No, it came from "above" as in from a higher dimension. Bits and pieces of those places fell on Earth from all directions, this time in tridimensional Euclidean space. Satellites, the ISS, and space debris all were wiped clean from orbit. Even those that didn't crash with the falling debris were knocked off orbit by the shockwaves. On the ground, power distribution lines were disrupted and most power facilities were left abandoned by their dead staff. Most of these had emergency shutdown routines that engaged in a few days. Some others had a survivor among their staff that followed protocol and activated their SCRAM switches, stopping the power plant. Long-distance communication disappeared the internet along with it. The world was plunged into technological darkness. Nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every thousand human beings perished immediately in the pulse of magical energy from the torn spatial boundary. Spirits were rent asunder and vanished, their fate neither salvation nor damnation, only oblivion. The criteria used for this culling was latent magic potential. It didn't discriminate against education, gender, age, or ethnic group. But of the around seven million survivors, most would meet their doom moments later. Those on moving vehicles, like the ones driving on highways suddenly had to contend with high-speed uncontrolled cars and trucks driven by corpses. Trapped in their vehicles and helpless, they became part of the long snake of crushed metal. Very few survived. Those in the air or out in the sea were alone and probably unable to control their rides. Airplanes crashed, and ships kept their course or drifted away, depending on their autopilot. Several ended their own lives in utter despair after seeing their loved ones die in front of them. Another large group would die at the hands of other survivors. Violence and aggression became the norm. Only a few sparse pockets of not-so-sane survivors managed to band together and cooperate for the sake of mutual survival. The sole survivor in a five-over-one apartment building in Georgia, a girl became the keystone to humanity's survival. Sara's fabulous System Apocalypse had just started. She has only one remark. It was anything but fabulous. * * Updates every Wednesday and Sunday.
