I’ve begun work on my new game The Night Hunters: First Blood.
This is the first time I have penned my stories and am very nervous about this. I would like any advice about my writing skills and grammar. Also have written it in English that is native to my country so take it easy.
It is a romance heavy game and I would not recommend it to people who are not into the romance genre.
It is heavily influenced by Attack on Titan, Pacific Rim and a little bit of Jurassic Park.
You can play as a Man, Woman or Non Binary. There are 7 ROs and all can be male or female according to your orientation and you can also mix them up. In the mixed option the 7th RO is always going to be Non Binary.

. - History
Nobody knows how, what or where the monsters came from. Dark as ink and highly skilled predators they slaughtered everything in their path, no these creatures weren’t hunting for survival, they were hunting for the thrill of it. Humans who were used to playing predator had now become prey. These creatures attacked in the night when the humans were most vulnerable and these creatures had toxic skin and everywhere they went, they left behind a trail of their sticky tar like faeces. This substance was highly toxic in nature, contaminating the soil and the water. The once beautiful sun kissed blue sky had become grey and the sun no longer shone on these lands making the once colourful Earth, a dark dreary dangerous toxic bin. Millions of people, animals were slaughtered and humanity was at the verge of extinction. They called these creatures Divryns.
Divryn is a Tasri word that translates to nightmare in the common language. These monsters have been put into categories on the basis of their anatomy and how deadly they are.
Then the few survivors came together and decided to fight back. This is how The Survival Wars began. The war continued for a couple of decades until one day the survivors found land that was untouched and free of contamination, where the sun did shine and the air was so fresh you could taste it. They called this Haven Sienna which in the language of the ancestors means home. They knew that they were outnumbered by these creatures and weren’t going to be able to defeat them so they decided to build 18 feet tall walls along Sienna’s borders to keep the monsters out. The long hard war fought during the construction of these walls was called The First Wall wars and it lasted for an entire Decade. After the walls were built, the remaining survivors came together and made their leader, Rye Teroli the first Sovereign of Sienna. As time passed, the wounds healed, humanity flourished and peace reigned and like any other story the people soon forgot about the monsters beyond the walls. As time went by the people divided Sienna into 4 states based on the geographical and cultural differences and the old languages and traditions were forgotten and in their place, people modified and adopted their own traditions and cultures and religions.
Everything was peaceful for 500 years until one day, the walls Venotaria and Haldirye were breached and the Divryns flooded in destroying the settlements and claiming the lives of thousands of people. This started the War for Haldirye and Venotaria also known as the 2nd War for the Walls. The once slumbering military was still groggy from its long nap and was having trouble standing on its feet, citizens were recruited by the second and with every passing day, and more ground was lost. Then in the 4th year of the war, the emperor and the princess were both killed in battle. The war lasted for a total of 8 years.
Then one day news came from the front that a 22 year old Captain of the Vanguard had led a small contingent of 50 men to victory and that they had secured wall Venotaria after 7 years. The then Captain Rheyan Ashyver became a symbol of hope, they called him the Angel of Venotaria. The Captain was a Divryn killing machine; he slaughtered them the same way that they had us. He always knew when they were coming and where they would come from, some say that the Cat Cs couldn’t sense him because he had no fear, he hunted them in a way much similar to theirs which earned him the title of “Night Hunter”.
The Empress then made the Captain Ashyver, the Field Marshal and raised the team members of The Night Hunters to the ranks of General in commanding. 18 years have passed since the war and though peace reigns once more, this time around Sienna is more prepared and alert.
