For the past two years, 18 year old Esper Noah has been training in self-imposed isolation. One day he is visited by a girl wearing a pink dress and carrying a sword, seeking his help to thwart the evil king that is spreading his power across the Algol star system.
Update schedule has been wonky lately. I will post when I finish writing a chapter, hopefully not too long in between.
While the subject matter is written for all reader ages, I do use some not-safe-for-grade-school language sometimes.
Author notes:
Fanfic based on Phantasy Star 1, so there's a lot of "lucky coincidences" that they end up getting exactly what they need for their journey. You do not need to know anything about the game(s) to understand what's going on. In fact, I wrote this with that in mind - to help non-fans enjoy the story. If you like old-school RPGs, this is a good one (with lots of Engrish), and it was a rare thing in the 80's to find a female protagonist (Alis is the MC of the first game).
I use the English names, but I try to integrate Japanese names in the story where they differ (one exception is meant to be handled later). Also, any lore outside the main Master System/Genesis games is not necessarily part of this, but I may potentially include as an Easter egg for fans.
Noor, a dancer in the Royal Court of the Al-Yauzhan Empire wants nothing more than to pay off her debts and lead a nice, simple life-but a chance encounter with the crown prince and his brother brings her into the dangerous world of court politics. As Noor and the princes investigate their uncle and cousin's possible treason, she grows closer to the crown prince, but in order to save the kingdom and the person she loves, Noor will have to risk everything...
A romantic adventure set in an imagined Arabic kingdom, THE DANCING GIRL is a story of court intrigues, romantic entanglements, and secret meetings as Noor and her best friend Amir try to help the princes they're falling for expose corrupt court officials with plans to seize the throne. Noor and Amir are close to having everything they've ever dreamed of...now all they need to do is survive.
