No promises or timeline on this one, for various reasons, but feel free to tell me what you think.
I’ve had a vague idea going through my head of someone very different from Emily (Schooled in Magic) being dumped into the Nameless World. No magic, for one thing; a soldier or policeman or something along the same lines. I might do it as a non-canon story, or – perhaps – have them making fewer changes and generally having a more localised effect on the world. I might even do it as a monthly serial – an adventurer ends up in the Nameless World and starts building a nest for himself.
Basically, it would be a little more like Lest Darkness Falls … with the hero setting out to create a small kingdom rather than save the empire or civilisation.
There would be little introduction of ‘new’ technology and the whole affair would be very localised, perhaps on the southern continent where Emily is a legend and the vast majority of people don’t believe in her. The hero wouldn’t be a love interest or anything along those lines.
Obviously, surviving would be difficult. My vague idea is that the traveller would encounter the Diddakoi first (The travellers I introduced in Work Experience) who would give him a basic background before dropping him off in a city, where he’d become a guard and eventually join the local army or something along those lines. Maybe something along the line of Yasuke, although with a far happier ending.
How does that sound?
