1. Hello, Mongolia and Author! I've read your book, and I have to say. I LOVED EVERY CHAPTER! I haven't read all of it though, I just finished the second adventure. I do have a few questions to ask. So did Soviet and TR plan this whole dream invasion before they passed away?

Mongolia: So glad you enjoyed the story. To answer your question, no, TR was mind-controlling Soviet, making him commit unspeakable actions.

2. How did Soviet return? Did Russia's invasion of Ukraine bring him back? Or was he resurrected from the grave?

Mongolia: To be honest... Yeah! Russia's takeover was exactly the reason Soviet came to be. It's a bit confusing, I'm aware.

3. What would've happened if TR won?!

Mongolia: Everyone would've been dead, and TR would succeed. If it ever came to that, everyone would be locked inside their minds for eternity.

4. Does the adventurers have the same power as in their dream worlds?

Mongolia: Not exactly, they knew they were dreaming, so they took advantage of it and formed their own supernatural abilities. It's controlled and restricted though, since TR had half control of the dream world, the rest of the party's powers were tamed, less they could get TR to release the trapped country's souls.

5. OMG! I love the new cover art for "Archer and the Dragon"! Is it really true that Miriorite drew that for you?!

Mongolia: Yup, go read his stories and check out the arts he made on Twitter or Instagram, whatever suits you! Plus, you can go and check out his books, I've heard it's very good.

6. So... is "The Archer and the Dragon" an inspiration from Miriorite's story "Russian Roulette"? Are they in the same universe?

Mongolia: You can sort of say that. The first idea of "The Archer and the Dragon" was rummaged and salvaged from another Story Idea the Author had. It would have been called "Penumbra" it was intended to be a political, theoretical, and philosophical story. Sit back and listen, cause this might be a long tale

First, let me explain the two races! Penumbra is an ideology where Light creates Darkness, such as an eclipse and shadows. In the Alternate Universe of "Penumbra," The earth doesn't rotate, yet it still spins around the sun. Only the hemisphere face direction of the sun. This is the reason why it's called "Penumbra" A world where the left half of the globe is full of light and sunshine, "The Radiances" are sun worshippers. They see the light and harness its power, becoming unique and luminescent. The Radiances have been living underneath the sun long enough to be broken free of physical form at will and have become truly spiritual. Their body can morph into pure light to harm darkness and illuminate shadows and shades.

Their equivalent and complete opposites are called "The Umbras" Living in the shadows and darkness have changed their corporeal figures. Not only has their body become transparent, but they came to realize they possessed the skills to be a silhouette of their former selves. Due to their transformative prowess, their bodies are free as a flowing river. They use this power to inflict injury to Radiances just as how similar they can do to them.

Even though the earth stopped rotating, the moon remains to function the same, however, at a slow pace. Every once millennium, an eclipse occurs, and the Radiance lose percentage of their powers. The Umbras can use this to their advantage, USSR was the highest among the Umbra rank, a Void. He planned to take over the Bright side of the world if A star child, America, hadn't interfered.

As for the plot, There are certain levels of Radiance and Umbras.

Radiance: First Sphere (Brightest), Second Sphere (Bright), Third Sphere (Dull)

Umbras: Umbra (Darkest), Antumbra (Dark), Penumbra (Dim)

Despite there being three levels of power within the two races. It is rumored that there is a god-like unbelievable power that is said to be a legend. Star and Void are the controllers of their separate horizons.

Not that the two kinds are clarified. It's time for the plot.

Similar to "Archer and the Dragon" Mongolia was a First Sphere radiance. He stumbles across Russia, who was still young and immature (Penumbra), who would eventually grow strong to see himself turn into a Void. Generally speaking, "Penumbra" was dedicated to being a moral story of two economical systems getting along and making peace. The story was also intended to be a Rusame one, then the author thought that was sort of cliche. There are many stories of Rusame, and two opposites falling in love. So... The author had a different idea.

There aren't many stories about Asians, he combined "East Asian Adventures" with "Penumbra", and the Story East Asian was endeavored to make the CH Character, Mongolia (Me) more popular. Which resulted in the idea of Mongolia taking care of Russia...

One problem though, he didn't want to make a story out of a history book. So he looked at the description of "Russian Roulette" and thought, "Hmm... Maybe a world with Humans and Dragons... that could work" and that's how "Archer and the Dragon" was created it focuses its shift to only Mongolia and Russia, making those two the protagonists.

Why was "Penumbra" canceled? Going over the plots, the story proved to be extremely complex for ordinary readers to comprehend. The story could try to leave you readers confused, and make your own theories.

Fun fact: "Penumbra" was an inspiration for "Tomorrow won't come for those without []"

Mongolia: Since the author won't be using this idea anymore. Anyone can use it as theirs without promotion or encouragement. I really hope this explanation inspired any of you to go into writing.

7. Just read the latest chapter of "Archer and the Dragon." So if King Qing is the father of China, what does that make of Taiwan? Are they related?

Mongolia: Taiwan is the stepbrother of China since Qing previously had a wife that passed away. Despite them having different mothers, they "try" to have a good relationship with each other.

8. In the "Archer and the Dragon" universe, do the Countryhumans have special powers and abilities?

Mongolia: Nope, they have traits and perks. For example, age doesn't matter to AU me, since he has lived for more than six centuries. Living a healthy lifestyle has kept him alive for a long period. Let's just say that there are Dragons, Cannibals, Griffins, and Reptiles who have other talents...

9. How did Russia get lost to being with?

Mongolia: Spoilers, he got curious and secretly followed his dad. When it was time to turn back, he noticed how far away he was, and then he got even more lost.

10. If there are other cities and states alive like Beijing, Macau, and Hong Kong, are there any more?

Mongolia: Yes! But I won't spoil much further.
