Introduction – What the game is?
The game is a Role Playing Game (RPG) in which the main character is a student from this world that falls accidentally into Black Realm. His goal is to find away to get back home by travelling around the realm. One method in getting home is to build your own magical power and collect nine highly magical precious stones, and taking them to Lyranthion to do a certain ritual. Lyranthion is a small collection of islands surrounded by whirlpools. The player travels the realm learning new and many things with companions that will come and go, defeat varies stage bosses and generally making a name for himself. This will attract the attention of both sides of the war that is currently happening and both sides will either want to eliminate them or recruit them, the player gets to choose which one he joins or doesn’t have to join any of them. All three chooses advantages and disadvantages the player must decide on whether or not this will help him complete his goal.










Storyboard
For my graphic novel the story line is linear at the start but then will split into multiple alternative lines as reader moves forward in the plot. The part that I’m doing is in the linear section and will be one of the first major boss fights. The main character I’ve named Daichi Kokon, a tall and calm individual. The boss is simple called The Rat King who quick and crafty, and finally I’ve introduced a third character named TX0090 or more commonly known as Tuqnuk who is an experiment that ran away from its creators.
