《Silvergates: Northworld (Book 1 complete)》Appendix: Timeline
Advertisement
The calendar of Northworld is not entirely aligned with the Earth one. Northworld’s days are 24 hours and 19 Earth minutes long, but its year is 358 days 2/3rd, so a Northworld year is 2 days shorter than an Earth one – and has a leap year two years out of three.
The Northworld months are all 30 days long, except December which is 28 or 29 days, depending on the year. The Earth month names have been kept, but the seasons are slightly shifted: Northworld winter solstice occurs on Jan 25th, spring equinox is on April 25th, the summer solstice on July 24th and autumn equinox on October 24th. This is due to the fact that no one knew anything about seasons when they started tracking time. The beginning of Northworld’s year is not aligned with Earth’s (Jan 1st on Northworld falls in mid-March as of Y6).
As Northworld has a small rotation tilt of 9 degrees only, the seasons are relatively less marked than on Earth.

The Fracture
It was a normal day for the inhabitants of ERT-5901, more commonly known by the populace as Earth. A beautiful planet with lush resources and fertile land, well at one point anyways. Children were born, the elderly died, and Man was as corrupt as ever. But hey, what can you do about that? Can’t change human nature… But that's not the point. Basically the planet was peaceful, for the most part. Certainly they were better off than the species on FTL-3470… We don’t talk about them. Better to leave that book unopened. Anyways, that was all until January 5th of the year 2025. When the sky broke. Fractured. Stunning ocean blue cracks were spotted in the sky all over the planet. A spiders web of cracks and crevices littered the blue skies, tearing all that global peace to shreds. All while Wyatt Walker, a sad example of a human being, was black out drunk in a bar somewhere in LA. This is a post-apocalyptic, portal isekai, high fantasy kind of story set on our very own green Earth! The world has fractured, broken. The inhabitants of ERT-5901 are in for quite the quick and dramatic change in their way of life. Murder, theft, and death have become the norm. Survival of the fittest to the extreme. If you can’t keep up, then good luck playing the game. Hello, Kaiser here! I am the author of this lovely story and I would just like to put a few disclaimers down here. First, English is, in fact, my first language. This by no means I will have perfect grammar and there are bound to be spelling mistakes (please forgive me) and places where I accidentally put plot holes. If you find anything, I would appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix / change it. I also welcome any constructive criticism or opinions you might have about the story (doesn’t always mean I will change something). Second, I am by no means a professional writer here. Just a confused student who wanted to write something. So, uh, here's my story? Third, if you can’t handle any of the following I recommend you find a different story as I will by no means change any of these topics. [Gore, Profanity, Twisted themes, Dark scenes, and Death] If you’re a sensitive person or a queasy person I would highly recommend a different story. Fourth, I would like to write with freedom so I will by no means be lenient with my writing. I intend to write without mercy. Characters will die, bad things will happen, blood will be spilled, and humans will continue to be humans. I would like to write things as realistically as possible while still having that dash of fantasy. Not everything will be all dark and gloom, there will be happy and funny moments mixed! (Hopefully, not a lot of edge) Enjoy! ッ

The Street Festival: How A Wallflower Became The Hero (updated)
Marty, is a quiet, shy kid, a loner with no close friends. He's always felt like an odd, uncomfortable, awkward person with zero social skills. With no positive male role model in his life, he hasn't gained much insight into what it means to be a man. He doesn't know how to act manly and doesn't show interest in traditionally manly pursuits. As a result, he's picked on and made fun of at school, called a wimp, a weakling and worse. When you add to that his straight "A" status in all his classes and his reputation for preferring the company of sci-fi stories & movies and comics over other humans, you start to understand the other name they call him, "nerd." He doesn't see the perks of being a wallflower and doesn't want to continue going through life as one. When his mom lands a job in another city, he sees an opportunity to reinvent himself, become the cool jock, or someone else the people at his new school will respect, and want to get to know.But will it be easy to do and will it work out like he plans?*This story was written by Sabrynabrooklynne on Wattpad. If you aren't reading it there, it's been stolen. Please report the website. It's probably not the final version either.*
