《Being Nigerian In A Foreign Country.》Intro
Advertisement
Okay, let me start by telling you a little bit about myself.
I am from Nigeria, Edo State to be specific, but I was born in Warri, Delta State. I lived there for about 12 years until I moved to Port-Harcourt, Rivers State. In 2010, my dad decided he'd had enough of Nigeria (not in a bad way though, just wanted a fresh start). So, in 2012, we moved to England. And can I just say I'm loving it here. Well . . .
Right, enough of myself, this ain't my auto-biography lol.
Anyway, this piece of writing is all about my experiences so far in England, and how different, very different it is to Nigeria. I bet some of you in a similar situation as I am, would be able to relate to a few, if not all, of what I'm ranting about.
Please do comment, and share your experiences too, so I know I'm not the only one and that I'm not going crazy lol.
Oh and don't forget to vote too, cos that would make me a really happy girl.
: Yes, we've come to this. *roll eyes* Some people might find some of the content in this work offensive, but trust me that is definitely not my intent. I can't help it. I'm being truthful here; just pouring out my feelings really. You know what they say, "the truth is bitter." So, suck it up buttercup!
Enough said . . . you ready? Set? Let's go!

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
