·
Published 1/7/2023In a world where his own holds nothing for him, Henry - an anime bishoujo with silver hair - recklessly infiltrates a powerful Shadow Court to defy society's expectations in pursuit of acceptance and freedom, but will he discover if a life in the fantastical Middle Renaissance is worth the ultimate price?
Henry, an introverted and socially-isolated hikikomori otaku in Japan, was never content with reality. After all, not many things can prepare one for the ups and downs of real life. Deciding to completely escape the cold, cruel world, he spent his time immersed in the land of anime and manga.
Between his beloved characters, Henry found solace in escapism. Although most of his time was spent in the small, 800-square-foot apartment which he hadn't stepped out in several months, he still managed to wander the very realistic world of imagination entirely replaced by 2D world -for him, an animated world with no real boundaries. Until one fateful day, when a strange phenomenon transcended the physical boundaries of his animeland and transacted him momentarily and entirely - inside a new physical world.
He suddenly woke up from his animation slumber and found himself in a heavenly setting - he was no longer in Japan, but in the Middle East of the Middle Renaissance! In this new place he had been transformed into a bishoujo with silvery hair, a beguiling figure unknown in the unfamiliar Middle East filled with voluminous fabrics and loud, echoing markets. Strikingly attracting attention from all the people around, Henry quickly learned the protocol while navigating unknown lands. His seemingly extraordinary powers behind closed doors made time travel impossible - or so that he thought.
With the help of a few already-celebrated allies, Henry tried to exploit the realm and place himself as another part of its inner circles of power. He attended secrecy-filled meetings of the shadows, quickly earning himself respect and credibility - although, on many occasions, his presence was looked down upon due to his unworldly knowledge.
As his journey in the Middle East progresses, significant events fill extensive parts of it. There were wars among kingdoms, sweeping hundreds of thousands of people until tragedy follows. Henry was caught in between, trying to make an influence amidst chaos. It soon became clear that he was much more than just a handsome bishoujo with an unfamiliar background. On one fateful day, Henry had the opportunity to reach people around the world and tell stories about himself and what he thought about the world. Unknown to him, the world was similar to his beloved animeland, entangling many of the limits posed by reality.
Shockingly all sorts of people reciprocated his enthusiasm people who, before, had shied away from expressing their self-expression, began to rear its ugly face, focusing on self-exploration, acceptance, and openness. It was a new feeling that, surprisingly, Henry masterfully elicited them fall in love with.
Henry realizes something life-changing he can be accepted and build a place in this world, despite his appearance and origin. Even though he had been unable to connect with the land, deep down he wants to be an active part of this historical time. Moreover, he starts to envisage what he can bring to the present world with his newfound skills - the knowledge and experience that the world never knew in those past centuries!
MSM became intrigued at what Henry was capable of, and encouraged him to become a champion of sorts. With bigger plans on his mind and a better grip on reality, Henry started to rise and potentially overthrow government structures within Middle East ruled by darkness, revealing age-long secrets, and uncovering cruelty within the system. Consequently, Henry’s life became threatened at various situations while trying to deactivate the system that wants to prevent decent of justice and done with services of epic struggles.
Things heat up as his foes close in - Henry faces intense battle with a surprising and diabolical force. Despite unavoidable trials, he makes it as far as the climactic scene where his relinquished animation world meets the real one his concepts of freedom against the powerful forces of the Middle East, what he has been fighting for the past several days seems within his grasps.
In the end, Henry wins but is forced to make a hard, heartbreaking choice. On the one hand, he can stay in the newly found world and continue experimenting with his newfound power, potentially altering history in a dramatic way; or on the other, step back and surrender his advancements, a more rational option - depending on which perspective one holds. He passes away peacefully in a final heartrending goodbye which eventually, ironically, will transform his legacy into an inspiring story with which future generations might identify and ultimately thrive.
