A New Utopia

by The Lost Hokage

(DISCONTINUED) There are more deities than the Deity of Sin. One such Deity, the Deity of Knowledge, created the dimensions and everything within them to share her knowledge. This power was passed on from generation to generation, but the newest Deity harbors a hatred of humanity. How will the CPUs deal with this threat?

1. Prologue

This story is the remake of my first story, Imagine Utopia. Almost immediately after publishing and completing it, I realized that there were a whole bunch of things I didn't do the way I had originally planned (funny how that works out, right?). That's fine, though, since I can always just do this. I'm still debating if I want to delete Imagine Utopia, but I can always figure that out later. Anyways, onto some questions.

What is the purpose of this remake?

As I stated before, the original story didn't do very well at some things that I planned for it to excel in. A key example of this is the characters—specifically, ASJ. He just didn't get enough time to develop and make his motivations believable, while also making his eventual defeat believable. With the benefit of hindsight, I'm going to try and change that with this story. This also lays the groundwork for my next project, which I think you'll enjoy ;).

Will I need to read Imagine Utopia to understand this?

No. There will be no references or allusions to Imagine Utopia. This story completely stands on its own. In fact, given what I've already told you, I'd prefer it if you didn't read that one and just stuck to this one.

What will the upload schedule for this story be?

It's too early to say for certain, but it'll definitely be slower than before. Previously, it was rather sloppy—I'd upload every day, but I'd occasionally 'dump' my writing, uploading multiple chapters simultaneously. I would write my chapters very far in advance, for example, I would have uploaded everything up to Chapter 8, but have written everything up to Chapter 13. This time, I plan to take it much slower, giving myself time to properly write everything as I please.

Out of Imagine Utopia and A New Utopia, which one is 'canon'?

God, it feels weird to call my works canon. The short answer is that A New Utopia takes precedent. In future stories, I'll reference this story more often than Imagine Utopia, and in the unlikely event that I collaborate with someone else and give them permission to use ASJ, the version used will be the version that appears in this story.

With that out of the way, I hope you enjoy!
