Tugend und Laster, Opening
I’m sure this will come as great joy to all you readers out there (0) as well as those spambots (more than I expected), but I finished with the opening/first chapter of a new story I’m writing. If you’ve got the time, download it and check it out and leave an actual comment in the comments section. As for the summary of my work, I think I’ll copy-paste what I wrote up somewhere else to serve as an outline of what I wanted to make (more like a set of guidelines). I suppose it’ll do as a basic summary.

(Setting is some sort of school, possibly something similar to Academy City from To Aru or Utopia City in Shitsurakuen. I want to get the feel of expansive school area where there’s a variety of things to do and different locations for the characters to visit. I half want it to be floating. Either way, the students routinely participate in various “wars of character”, where groups of students (classified by grade, age, etc.) combat one another to inherit the right to possess the Pearl Gate (some random MacGuffin that does something important enough to wage wars over). However, these wars are not fought with the traditional weapons or magic. Instead, each student is equipped with something called a “Mirror”, which looks within your heart and categorizes your rank among the 7 Virtues and 7 Sins. Depending on whether or not you tend towards the Virtue or the Sin, the weapon you are given to fight changes. There doesn’t seem to be any real relation between Sin/Virtue and the weapon you receive, but the greater the Sin/Virtue the more powerful your weapon is. Thus some of the strongest students indulge in either Sin or Virtue to become the strongest.)
