Hey guys! I, FrostSpear, the creator of the Second World Series, am writing to you another story, now considering the conflict of good and evil by the entities who are imbued with immense supernatural, spiritual and paranormal power: angels and demons. Demons, in most concepts, are evil, malevolent creatures or spirits in contrast to the angels that are good and benevolent ones. Angels have free will like us people, same with demons. Demons are like the obstacles to our faith, as angels act like the bridges. Much opposition, right? But what if two people who have opposing sides... meet each other? Will they fight to the death, or share the love? That's what my story, Stand, is.
I may not consider its genre a "dark fantasy", but since evil lurks the setting of this story, the presence of fear and lessons in life may be discovered IF you can analyze it well. Even if I AM the author of this Stand Series, I NEED YOUR HELP in making this story worthy for its "dark fantasy" genre with a "slice of life".
Want to know the contributors of Stand? Not just my co-creator, the contributors made me pumped up for this story. Even my classmates are contributors, too! Four classmates contributed a lot for this, and also with two ninth grade students, all in my Junior High Alma Mater. These mates helped me a lot though they shared bits of information and suggestions. The co-creator can possibly have cover artists for an official book cover, as my book cover is just a concept photo-edit from BeFunky. By the way, Stand has two co-creators - one of them is my classmate, the other one is also a co-creator of Second World Series.
The co-creator wants this to be informative, so I have to put something that can put you to either inspiration, fear, or thrills. Which is which? Also, be warned of some words and grammar that cannot understand you much, as archaic things come into the way.
Angels and demons can be the main entities just like men, BUT there are others lurking in the dark. Angels can be "fallen from grace", meaning fallen angels; or can be reapers, as I say "angels of death". There are even men who can choose sides, too: either go for the demons of Hell, or go for the angels of Heaven. Anyone can decide, but the decision MUST BE FINAL. Oh and by the way, even corpses who were "alive" but technically dead will be present!
Either anyone will stand for the conspiracies believed by other people, or faiths they had to their religion or god. Conspiracy or faith? If you can recall an oration entitled "The Two Standards" by Horacio de la Costa, S.J., it's all about conflicts between good and evil. In Christian sense, Christ or Satan. Well, there is even a "Satan" in my story.
To be honest, even if this is a critical story for me, I must confess that I am a Christian, Roman Catholic specifically. Despite its fanfiction vibe, there can be sorts of heresy and fraud in my story, and there can be people who cannot believe what it tells. Anyway, try to analyze what is telling you readers. Just try to analyze and find out if there are flaws and cliches. But don't try to judge the book by its cover, though. XD :P
Why I made Stand is I was impressed of Bible and dark fantasy games that involve angels and demons, especially "Diablo III" from Blizzard Entertainment. The aspects and attributes of both opposing entities made me try to find out which Stand entity fits its Diablo counterpart, though. I really like the game series' concepts; and along with Bible stories, that made me inspired to write this series. With this Stand book, are you ready to stand up for what you are and what you have?
By the way, the prologue!
