False Ancestry (WIP) [75K Words | Prologue Act 2]

I’ve begun work on my first WIP False ancestry.

You are the child prodigy, the star of the town, the next in line to be captain of the football team. You are the dream that other people want to live, you have always been great at whatever you put effort into. However, that is no longer the case, you have been suspended from the team for the rest of the school year. All because of an incident involving you and a former teacher of the school.

Now you have to deal with the consequences of your actions. You are still the star of the town, but things are different now, even if ever so slightly. That isn’t the only thing that has changed. The other star of the town, the queen bee, who’s been missing for the last three weeks, has been found and safely returned home. Except there is only one problem, she has lost all memories of the last ten months of her life. You are the person who knows her the best, so you have been tasked with helping her regain her memories.

Maybe if things had continued along this path, maybe if things had been different, then everything would have returned to normal, back to the status quo. The Troubled Star and the forgotten star would have returned to normal, but fate had different plans for everyone. A monster is hiding in the woods, stalking and hunting, someone wronged and calling for justice. A child who lost everything.

Spurred by a murder and a thirst for vengeance, a series of events unfold, and it’s only then that you are truly awakened to the world around you, filled with monsters and things that can’t be called human. Do you have what it takes to overcome your instincts, the thing that drives you to destroy everything around you, to save the people closest to you, and retain your humanity?

You have seven days until prom arrives to make your decision, whether as a wolf, a vampire, or a man. Seven days to overcome your past and your trauma, seven days to decide where you stand in this cruel world, seven days until you are a man or a monster.

Main details
  • Play as either Male or Female.
  • Play as either a Werewolf, Vampire, or remain Human
  • Play with the swagger of a black teen.
  • Investigate the creatures terrorizing your town.
  • Adapt to the new changes and the twists in the relationships around you.
  • Manage your human life with your team (footballers or cheerleaders) and your new life as a monster.
  • Interact with eight distinct romance options, each having their own role in the story and side stories.
Main Love interests.
  • Irene North

The Queen bee of the school, vice captain of the cheerleading squad, president of the student council, and the daughter of one of the richest people in town. She is also technically your best friend, being one of your childhood friends, your biggest rival in life, and your second biggest defender behind John. Her parents and yours are the people behind the town’s economy, which affords her a certain level of untouchability that she exploits to her benefit.

  • Irwin North

The king of the school, vice captain of the football team, president of the student council, and the son of one of the richest people in town. He can also be considered your best friend, being one of your childhood friends, your biggest rival in life, and your second biggest defender behind John. His parents and yours are the people behind the town’s economy, which affords him a certain level of untouchability that he exploits to his benefit.

  • Rachael Von Liechtenstein.

Vice captain of the cheerleader team, overall great friend despite everything. She is a bit weird with how she acts sometimes, you wonder how much of her is the real her and how much is an act.

  • Skye White

Nerd, weeb, and, surprisingly, the captain of the volleyball team. President of the school anime club as its only member, not for lack of trying to get people interested. She is one of your childhood friends and the one that you are closest to, is your best friend despite her odd behavior.

  • John/Jane Mayors

A victim of fate, that is the best way to describe John or Jane; they have been beaten down by life from the day they were born. Being born intersex created a division in their life with their parents. Their father couldn’t take the stigma of such a child and buried himself in work, while their mother couldn’t accept it and chose to only view them as a girl. This is only their home life, as their social life is a lot worse, as they get bullied for being different, for being feminine, even if they present themselves as a boy. However, you and the others don’t care about this, because they have and always will be your friend.

  • Ryan Ashford

The most annoying yet charming guy you know, Ashford, for all intents and purposes, is a clown that marches to the beat of his own drum. Which for some reason, works out in his favour every step of the way, and that makes him the best captain that you could ask for. He is the main reason that you gave football a second chance, and the main reason why you haven’t been expelled yet, besides Irene.

  • Charlotte Jenkins

Misguided? That’s the best way you can describe CJ, you can’t blame her too much, as she actively tries to be better than her family, but she is somehow still a bit tone deaf with half of the things that she says. She is that one friend who says something unintentionally horrible with a dumb smile on her face, she reminds you of someone you knew sometimes.

  • Sigismund Saint

The new transfer student, you haven’t personally met him, but word travels fast around the school. He is the archetype of transfer students in movies, cold, quiet, and distant from everyone, but the first two descriptions of him could be because he’s rumored to be mute. The one thing that is constantly mentioned besides his muteness, is his sheer arrogance despite being unable to speak. All bite, no bark. As they say.

  • Dante Ericcson

You haven’t met him yet.

If you’re human what’s your monster? Is it a Jekyll and Hyde situation?

If you pick human, the monster aspect will be how far you have to go to survive.

Agreed. This definitely felt like a harem anime or VN. First the “girl next door”, next the mysterious new transfer student, followed by the childhood friend, and then wrap it up with the queen bee. Ashford is the rebel troupe, to bad he’s not gender variable too.

Has a whole lot of potential but definitely needs some polishing and grammar edits.

I feel like there’s a lot happening in a short time frame in game that just makes things very confusing.

And I feel like there are scenes that are meant to not have to much screen time are dragged out versus things/scenes that pass by to quick that deserve explanation.

For example, in the prologue ? when MC is in the office we learn about the exploding car but you don’t talk about whose car it is nor why the team blew it up. There’s a single sentence that talks about some dude who molests another guys sister but again there is 0 clarification.

Indeed it does, but I will try to fix things as I go along and I improve, I been writing this since last year and I have nothing to really show for it.

Ah, this isn’t something that I really thought about it and it can be expanded more on as the story goes on as that was the original plan but I see what you mean. I will try to make some quick edits here and there to make the scene more clean overall. (Edit, I will fix it eventually. Working on act 2 rn)

but the the molestation is the reason the team did it and they targetted the molesters car.

Why isn’t everyone voting for Irene, shes clearly the best option in the game. (Don’t take this statements too seriously, its just strong agenda at play. All Ros will be written equally but some are more equal than others.)

she is not bad (first impression wise and not much so far to tell) but i honestly have something against divas^^ cant stand them in real life and i only tolarate them in some Wips if they are well writen but for that the story still to short that it can be a choice (no offense just i need first to see more from her if there is something hidden behind her) samatha i think will go yandere i fear what i dont shy away but could also mean trouble for my mc what already happend in the past if did read correctly^^ Rachel is still a mystery for me and i like that a lot there is something hidden behind switching personas and i want to see where it leads^^ ashford i will see how it goes.

in the end i will play anyway more runs to get all routes once atleast but i need first to see more of all of them before i can really pick my fav but rachel leads so far

just my opinion about them so far you did write them well so far so i am still open where it will all lead

Thank you for the kind words, the prologue is mostly focused on introducing the world and some of the ROs, each act is focused on one and act 1 was Rachael’s. Act 2 will be maria and hopefully she actually gets a vote then, but I will always try my best to write all of them to the best of my abilities and I hope people enjoy them.

So who is your favourite so far?

about maria i really rack my brain since my post early where she was but i just cant remeber was she the cheerleader or something? ah well i have to read later again when my nap is done need some sleep long day ^^ ah now i rember she was the latin girl, to be honest her impression was so far ok but from all ro she is far boring for me (ok that sounds rude but just not memorbale enough for me to consider her) but that can change when more acts come out with more content from her.
cant wait for the others acts.
