Today is the anniversary of my book. Four years ago, I began my literary journey. And a year ago, I finished my manuscript. To celebrate this, here is a preview of my book cover (made by @ariakey.bsky.social).

(Title/font temporary/not the final product.)

One of my biggest concerns while writing my novel was that the eponymous Kilima boarding school would lose its significance as the story and the journey progressed. Fortunately, I found interesting ways to keep the school relevant at all times.

"September 28th, daylight…"

Today marks the anniversary of the day Jill Valentine began her legendary escape from Raccoon City. As a fan of the fandom, it goes without saying that my novel includes a tribute to the game series. And like every year, I will once again cross blades with Nemesis today.

Fun fact about my novel: The basis, or rather the basic idea, was to create a story that could easily be converted into a role-playing game (video game). I created the classes very early on. These are divided into three main categories. My absolute favorite: the punk class.

I'm a big fan of Octopath Traveler 1 and 2. It's not surprising that I included a tiny little reference in my novel. My favorite characters from each game? Tressa, the merchant, and Ochette, the hunter.

Chapter 30 introduces a new recurring supporting character. Although she started out as just a fleeting idea, I quickly grew fond of her. The character is an allusion to one of my Guild Wars 2 characters: Kyralis, the tamer. A loner, steadfast, determined, and a real go-getter.

I've reached chapter 30 with my proofreading. This and the upcoming chapters are wild. Due to certain circumstances, the 12 emissaries from Kilima are randomly divided into small groups. What will happen when the inhibited Amy has to deal with the impetuous Marc? Absolute chaos!

The proofreading of the 28th chapter is complete. Now, I can leave the Equinox behind. I'm once again devoting myself entirely to the events at Kilima boarding school. And the shit is really hitting the fan.

I've talked a lot about a part of the important cast in my novel. But actually, that's just a fraction of them. There are so many other characters I could talk about: teachers, the natives, 3 other important student, including my favorite character, Tyrell…

It is worth repeating: The appearance of my novel characters was designed from scratch by @ariakey.bsky.social. It is wonderful to see how the novel appears even more vivid thanks to the illustrations provided thus far.

At the AnimagiC 2025, voice actors had to describe their characters using only three characteristics. Inspired by this, I will do the same with the stars (some) of my novel, starting with Jordan Donovan, the black fox.

Jordan is: A bit naive, fond of animals and charismatic.

I have reached chapter 28/66 in my editing efforts. This chapter provides deep insight into the Equinox religious fellowship, one of two major organizations in Nyika. Unfortunately, I cannot elaborate on this due to the risk of spoilers. Well, a brief peek doesn't hurt, right?

And finally: the versatile earth element, with the power to protect, interfere and destroy. Status effects are deeply rooted in this element. The sand barrier technique blocks enemy projectiles and keeps opponents at bay.

Earth beats water, but is at a disadvantage against wind.

The aggressive wind element rages on the battlefield with courage and brutality. Tempest winds accelerate their allies, they control and destroy. The wind whip technique greatly increases travel speed & inhibits exhaustion.

Wind beats earth, but is at a disadvantage against fire.

The cold and damp water element is a double-edged sword. It serves as a source of healing and relief. However, the bitter cold also has penetrating powers. The Ice Spear technique pierces even the hardest armor.

Water beats fire, but is at a disadvantage against earth.

The fire element is a major source of destruction in Nyika, capable of incinerating everything in its path. Surprisingly, the element also has healing qualities. The Phantom Fire technique creates a concealing campfire.

Fire beats wind, but is at a disadvantage against water.
