second arc story idea's

Next arc begins with mc visits her first town, out of money no place to sleep or food to eat. She wants to register as an adventurer, but there is a fee. Someone takes pitty on her and agrees to take her on a mission and give her part of the reward. (In reality they try to capture her during the mission to sell her off, she is forced to kill them. She returns, let's them know what happened, she is locked away, an investigation is done and she is freed. (Turns out they were slavers) she is given a bounty reward and uses that for food lodging and the fee to become an adventurer. She needs a new name, so she picks the name of her hero.

Spends the next 6 years making a name for herself. Alone and sometimes joining other parties to hunt but never anything permanent.

Notable accomplishments. Stepping up to save the entire party in a time of need. Defeating a powerful foe by herself. Earning a high rank within the adventurers guild.

-Need to come up with the structure of the adventurers guild still.

side note: Blessing 1 is unlocked at the beginning. Blessing 2 is unlocked at the climax rescuing her descendant. Blessing 3 is unlocked in the last push before the final battle. Still need to decide what the blessings are.

First arc story idea's

Age 4. First scene is a mother recounting the tail of a hero defeating the big bad and sacrificing herself in the process. The girl wanting to be just like the hero. The mother telling her to wait until her age day to find out the blessing she receives from the gods.

Age 6. Watching her older brother train with a sword in the yard. Notices the hawk that she likes to play with, but family disapproves of and sneaks away to spend time with it, it lands on her arm. When brother notices her gone, he calls for her and she returns alone. It's time for her to do her studies with the teacher that arrived at the house. Use this lesson to teach the reader about the world. Going to town for the first time with family and meeting others near her age. Becoming friends with one and having them visit her home and being able to share her friend the hawk when they are alone. Going to one of her older siblings age day ceremonies. (They turned 9. Not the older brother who already received his blessing which is fighting based)

Age 7/8. Spend time with her best friend and learn more from her teacher. (This includes a lesson about the different blessings. Remind readers that mc wants to be just like the hero who had multiple blessings. The teacher reminds her how it is rare to have 2 blessings let alone more than that. She should be happy with 1. A more practical answer vs the hope her mother gave to her at age 4.

Age 9. She goes tp her age day with entire family and is doing it with her best friend. Friend goes well receiving a rare 2 blessings. She is up and shocks everyone with none. her best friend is taken away told never to talk to the mc ever again. Older brother is most compassionate but the others especially parents are horrified that they have a kid who has no blessings She no longer receives an education. Is locked away in her room. Is told they are looking for a family willing to take her off their hands (giving her away as a wife). She decides to run away. Her older brother helps her escape. It's the best he can do. She manages to say goodbye to her best friend on the way out of town in secret. (In the school arc they will run into each other, but the friend doesn't recognize the mc with her change in appearance and name change)

Next scene will be on the road with the hawk and a backpack. Run into bandits who try to take her stuff and kidnap her. The hawk steps in to help and is knocked out of the sky, the moment it is about to die, she screams and in that moment in time everything appears to freeze she recounts a memory foreign to her-a girl receiving a blessing and what it means-in the next moment she uses that blessings to defeat the bandits and save the hawk.

potential story arcs

First arc would be young child and climaxing with the first awakening being attacked by bandits.

Next arc would cover adventuring and making a name for herself. Climax will be the invitation to the elite academy.

Next arc will be her time at the academy. Be it graduating or another reason to leave, the next arc would be learning about her descendant that needs to be saved. Maybe she meets them at the academy or just learns about them, meeting them would be more interesting. She needs a team to do it. It would also be cool if she had at least 1 other person with a link to her past somehow join the group. The climax would be the rescue.

The next arc starts off with the mc revealing who they are, used to be to the group. They agree to help them regain their memories and former power. Climax with the evil god coming back from imprisonment.

Next arc would focus on a battle for time, get strong enough before the bad god can kill them again. Climax with mc regaining full strength and final memories.

Final arc is the fight between the mc and the evil god and once again they become a legend that defeated the big bad. This is a good start with 7 main arcs. A lot can change. Until I'm ready to start writing it, I will continue to develop it

Crystal Memory

I thought up a new story idea and wanted to share it. The initial idea started from a thought: What would happen if the hero in a fantasy world is sent/reborn into a world with no magic and has no more power themselves, what would happen?

Warrior fails to defeat the big bad Evil god intervenes and God God rescues soul and waits sever hundred years to let them be reborn memory and powers locked away. God takes part of their power and turns it into an animal companion who will help warrior unlock memory and power. This lock looks everyone that he is void of power and magic. (Evil god is temp locked away as punishment for interference. Good god has to wait to help him be reborn as punishment for their intervention) He eventually remembers who he was and gains his power back and goes to rescue one of his descendants.

After my first pass at the premise, I tried to refine it.

A little girl who grew up idolizing a female warrior who sacrificed herself to defeat the big bad goes to her age day only to discover she has no talent at all. She is heartbroken and ridiculed for being talentless. She runs away instead of agreeing to be given away as a bride. She almost dies from bandits when her pet saves her by unlocking a piece of her former memory and one of her abilities giving her an edge. She goes on a journey of discovery, regaining her memories and abilities by visiting places in her former past. She makes a name for herself and has an opportunity to go to an academy where she trains. At her peak, she discovers a descendant is in danger and goes to rescue them.

I watch a lot of anime and read a bunch of web novels. It is common to see isekai’s, be it teleportation or being reborn. I have also encountered plenty of stories where the hero is sent back in time and has another chance using their first go at it.

So for my idea, I let them be reborn (but in the same world). They have their memories from the previous life, but not at first and they need to unlock them over time. This story is a great example of the material I consume influencing what I create as a writer.
