Picture is of the main characters.

This world is filled with many things. Wonderful things, horrible things, happy things, sad things. Most people see the wonderful, happy things like rainbows and unicorns and puppies. But there are a select few whom most would call unlucky because they see the horrible, sad things, like demons and pain and death. It's not their faults that causes them to see these things. It's their surroundings. If someone is raised in a stable and protected environment where adults tell children not to lie or steal or cheat and then do all of those things, that person is most likely to lead a miserable, boring life. But if someone is raised in an environment where adults tell children the actual truth, that person is most likely going to lead a good and truthful life. Yes, the first option you possibly have a lot money and a "nice" life but you live in a fake world. You don't know the truth of life and humans. The second option you could be jobless and homeless, but you'd live in a world where you know what's going on and how things work. You could "rise from the ashes" as they say and know more about the world than most.

      Alright, enough with the physiological mumbo-jumbo. This is a story about a group of kids no older than you or I. Each one can see a different version of the world, a different "dimension", if you will. These five kids come from all over the world and have never met. Each one receives a letter from Anima University, a school for "gifted" kids and stationed in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.  The school's construction was commissioned by the Asian Council and was originally meant to house the rest of the population but was abandoned after the population decreased dramatically. The Government decided to use this abandoned building to train and build the most powerful weapons ever. This is where our story begins, the day the Gifted received their letters.

Hey-o! So this book is only going to be about 30,000 words because this is actually the book I'm using for a novel writing competition called NaNoWriMo. For the junior writing group you have to write a 30,000 word novel in 1 month (for adults the word count is 50,000). The competition starts on November 1st. Please give me suggestions and ideas for how I should have the story progress.
