Part one, the artificial counterpart

I proudly present Timecrest, a creation by the brilliant minds at Sneaky Crab.

Allow me to introduce you to Zoe, a remarkable girl who resides in the future Earth as a counterpart. However, her journey to this futuristic world was not a mere coincidence. She was specifically chosen to live as a counterpart due to her exceptional qualities that set her apart from others.

Now, let me unveil the plan that Alvin, the mastermind behind counterparts, had in mind. Alvin, being a curious experimenter, desired to explore the depths of human emotions and manipulate them to his liking. His experiments revolved around controlling the perception of time, with a particular interest in turning back time. Though his creations lacked emotions and were somewhat detached, they possessed limited magical abilities.

But what if one of Alvin's experiments went astray? This is the captivating story of Zoe, who became somewhat emotionless and joyless, yet her purity remained intact. She was sent to Earth, a futuristic realm in the year 4000, with the belief that her innocence and purity could be used against her.

However, fate had a different plan for Zoe. As she neared the end of her schooling days, she decided to return to Alencia, her true home, not because of her counterpart's disease, but due to her inability to survive in the human world any longer.

Unlike my previous counterpart stories featuring Lily, Caroline, and Country Hearts, Zoe stands out as a creative and unique counterpart. She does not possess royal status but rather represents various other intriguing aspects which you will soon discover.

Her world is a fascinating blend of advanced technology and a purplish-blue Earth, thanks to the presence of iodine in the atmosphere. This setting is set thousands of years into the future, where technology thrives and the game "Timecrest" has become a legendary franchise. The creators of this game, Sneaky Crab, have achieved legendary status, and their story will be revealed in due time.

Now, I know you must be eager to know more about Zoe's appearance. She has beautiful brown hair and fair, almost peachy skin, occasionally adorned with a bluish tan. Her mesmerizing blue eyes are as pure and bright as the whitest snow. Her long, flowing chocolate brown hair adds to her enchanting charm.

Despite her emotionless facade, Zoe strives to make the best of her life on Earth. While she has caring parents and a small group of friends who try to understand her, she finds it challenging to reciprocate their affection. However, they all join her on a journey to Alencia, hoping to help her unlock the innocence and emotions she has lost along the way.

As Zoe embarks on her quest to find Timecrest, one question lingers: how will it shape her destiny? Love, the key to her answer, unfolds as a powerful force in her life. Can Luther, her companion, guide her in discovering her true self? Time is of the essence, and the challenge to restore what she has lost—her innocence and emotions—looms ahead. Is she destined to remain incomplete, or can she be fixed? Only by diving into the story will you uncover the answers.

This counterpart story offers a unique twist, and I hope you thoroughly enjoy it.

Allow me to introduce Zoe's family and friends on Earth. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Baker, along with Fred and Samantha, play crucial roles in her life. Her friends, named after virtues like peace, hope, faith, love, and joy, are her pillars of support.

I truly hope you relish this fresh take on counterpart stories and the intriguing world of Laura. Enjoy the journey, and stay tuned for the upcoming prologue.
