Hello everyone, and welcome to another one of my stories. I promised to give more insight into the story in an auxiliary chapter, and this is me keeping that promise! I'll try my best to explain the goals I have for the story, as well as the reasons and motivations behind my decision to write it.
Firstly, although this story is a system story, it is going to be heavily focused on the modern urban genre. I don't have any intention of ever bringing a fantasy aspect into the story since that would be completely outlandish and it might throw everyone off. There won't be any magic in the conventional sense, instead, what you'll have are humans who are capable of performing feats that would be regarded as superhuman by any regular person!
Imagine an Olympian-level human beyond your wildest dreams—people who can punch through concrete walls, people with skin tough enough to stop bullets, and people who can jump over seven-foot fences from a standing position! They may seem out of this world, but they exist, and I'll be doing my best to use them properly in the story.
The main character is going to be a gangster, so you shouldn't expect him to be a good person by any definition of the word. He understands the importance of violence and is very good at using it, but he also understands the importance of loyalty and kindness. He's the sort of person who can use both in the proper amounts!
My goal for this story is for the MC to reach the pinnacle of both the underworld and the business world, so you should expect a lot of business terms and gang-related concepts as well. But that doesn't mean you'll need some damn business degree to understand what I'm saying. In fact, you can get into the book without any knowledge about gangs or business, and I'm sure you'll still be able to enjoy it!
And as far as motivation goes, most of it came from the 2019 movie The Gentlemen and the absolutely brilliant acting by Matthew McConaughey, as well as the series Mobland with Tom Hardy. I want to create a book that shows both familial love, intense romantic passion, and the sheer ruthlessness needed to survive in the underworld, and I hope you all stick with me as we go through Dante's trials together!
