So far, i've finished the prologue and chapter one for my very own version of "Battle Royale". Few days ago, i let my English teacher, Pn. Habibah to read the prologue of the story, i also requested her to ensure my grammar before i proceed to the first chapter. It turned out that my grammar is average XD
Some of the mistakes were not really my fault, though. It was the auto correct system which changed by itself . Look like we couldnt depend on the computer too much. Anyway, "Battle Royale" is my very first story that i share it to the public; most of them are my friends who were actually one of the characters in the story.
Malaysian
---------------
Some people were wondering that why i changed everything from Japanese to Malaysian, isnt that weird? To be honest, if i remain the Japanese style, i probably still havent finished either the prologue or chapter one. Because during my last attempted, i was so confused on the 42 characters that i created, i had no idea how to come out with a background story for all of them. However, using a real people as the characters in my story, make things much more easier and faster since im telling their truth story that actually did happen on them in real life. Of course, i've my own idea to make a connection between the Japanese and my version.
The Characters
--------------------
As you know, there are total of 42 competitors during the "game", but i'll mainly concentrate on the 6 main characters; Nina, Kenneth, Joachim, Christina, Lee Cheng and me. I'll introduce the 42 kids one by one throughout the story, so you wont get confused on all of them. There are 41 non-fictional characters in this story. However, i invented 4 fictional characters; Hiromi Yasuko, Haruna Yasuko, Kiyoshi Yasuko and Jeremy Teh Bon Hui.
Assigned Weapons
-------------------------
Once i let my friends to check out their weapon that they will acquire during the game. Some of them were satisfied with it, while some of them were disappointed as they didnt get anything and some of them were complaining about it. Let me tell you, the weapons that i assigned for the characters (or my friends) were not a casual planning. There's a reason for it. Not like i dislike this guy, so i give him a stupid stuff that doesnt even consider as a weapon. No, all those weapons have something to do with the plot and it might change in certain times.
Real Life Events
--------------------
Most of the things that i mention in the story are based on truth story as it did happen on me and other characters in real life. Including attitude, activity, relationship, ability, nickname, phobia etc.
Death
--------
This story is about killing one another off, of course major of the 42 students will be perished. To those people who i used as the characters in my story, the death might offence you. But by the end of the day, this is just a fiction novel, so dont take it seriously >.<
The Prologue
----------------
The opening of the story. Well, i'll briefly introduce several of characters in this part (most of them are the female students). It also mention about the "game" in Japan where the students are forced to kill one another until only one remains. If you had gone through either the movie or manga, you would have known who were the two students that escaped from the game in Japan. The story is set a day after the event of the original movie or manga.
Real life events that can be found in this part are;
~the painting and decorating stair cases program for the class 3A students
~A trip to Cameron Highlands
~when Yih Su, the class president, requested his classmates to stand up
Chapter 1: Kidnap
----------------------
I took this opportunity to introduce more characters in this chapter. Including "The Six Club" which involved Lee Cheng, Jia Hong, Kah Chin, Pai Kai, Tiong Hong and Chee Keong. Wen Sern and Shuhazlin, the class photographers. Lastly, Kenneth, one of the main characters. I've also expanded Hiromi's character where you'll learn about her past. Before i forgot, this chapter is entirely take place on a bus where the students and teacher are on their way to Cameron Highlands. So, this chapter is quite boring~
Real life events that can be found in this chapter are;
~the lively atmosphere on the bus
~"The Six Club" (although some of the members have been replaced)
~Kenneth's interest, gardening
~Wen Sern's and Shuhazlin's photographic talent/interest
~my interest, reading novel
