Research & Inspiration
e inspiration for this collection of works originates from the science fiction novels I wrote during my leisure time, reflected in the design of var-
ious genres of book covers. I aspire to distill key elements and themes from my novel’s content, translating them into cover designs that capture its
essence, while also transforming it into a graphic novel format.
e protagonist group followed the elders and other villagers to learn how to survive in the wild. ey communicated with the orcs to establish and expand their own settlements.
Settlements were oꢀen attacked by thieves. rough the contact between thieves and merchants, the protagonist group realized that the world is made up of those forces. Because
of a severe natural disaster, the villagers had to move out of their homes. Although the elders were helpless, they had to let the protagonists face a wider world.
Due to environmental degradation and evolution, the protagonists were forced to go to the city and learn how to cope with the currently fickle nature, thus learning better appli-
cation methods and solving natural disasters. In the process of in-depth learning, the leading group had learned that the city lacks the technology to communicate with the wild
orcs. So, in collaboration with the city’s scientific researchers, they developed a system to interact with them. However, some people in the city wanted to use this technology to
manipulate and utilize the orcs to exploit resources and destroy the environment. e leading group attempted to remediate the situation but achieves no results, so they aban-
doned their collaboration with the city. ey finally decided to go back to the original settlement to establish a sustainable stronghold of their own. But midway, they suffered
retaliatory encirclement and suppression imposed by the city. e protagonists got separated in the process of the revolt. In order to survive, the group was forced to start from
scratch and set up new plans. At this moment, the wild orcs helped the members of the group to find each other and the four protagonists got reunited. Eventually, they achieved
a breakthrough in their personal ability and succeeded in going through the most difficult path.

Aꢀer the four protagonists reunited, the city suddenly encountered a serious geological catastrophe and the city needed their help and the wild orcs. Aꢀer the protagonist team
learned about the situation of the city, they knew about the severity of this situation in the city; so together with the Orcs, they finally decided to forgive their grudges and to join
forces with the city in order to protect all the intelligent lives. Aꢀer experiencing this catastrophe, people in the city realized that it is unsafe to have radical control over nature,
because this is a highly risky and gambling way of upgrading civilization which can easily backfire. At last, the city abandoned the previous development model of controlling
nature, eliminating the fluke mind set of rapidly upgrading of civilization.
Aꢀer the catastrophe, the intelligent lived live together in peace. But changes from outside the world broke the long-lost peace in this world. A huge crack appeared in the sky,
and the edge was not visible. Many wondered if there have been many unknown existences entering the world where the protagonist group lives. e appearance of the crack did
not make an impact on the normal maintenance operation of this world. Out of curiosity and fear about the unknown, the protagonist team and the public jointly formulated
various plans, including the use of previous technologies for space voyages and other programs to explore this giant crack. At the moment when it was about to reach the end of
the crack, the protagonist group saw for the first time a scene outside of their world. ey discovered that their world where they lived in was actually a gigantic petri dish, and
that there were countless petri dishes similar to theirs in this world simulation laboratory. Some of the other petri dishes were already devastated, and some were still in their
infancy in diverse forms. ey only leꢀ the petri dish they belonged to. e leading group was shocked at first but did not panic. ey decided to establish a friendly communi-
cation relationship with the outside world under the condition of protecting their own world. e reason for establishing the laboratory was that the superordinate race wanted
to know whether radically controlling the nature or harmoniously protecting the nature can better utilize the available resources and upgrade the civilization. e world where
the leading group belonged was the first one that vanquishes the obstacles set by the superordinate race, breaks through the barriers and succeeds in upgrading. e researchers
in the laboratory regarded the world in which the leading group lived as the most successful one and gave this world a new beginning.
