I would be glad if anyone could provide some opinion on this new idea for a novel.
Title : The Sun of a Midnight Gray
Settings : There are three continents in the world : Dawn, Dusk and Midnight. They all use the same language. The largest percentage of Parasites are found in Midnight, but it is still only about a thousand. Parasites are stronger than an average human, yet they are largely outnumbered and therefore oppressed. They live under a peace treaty, which states that as soon as a Parasite kills a human, the treaty will be broken and Parasites will be taken away all basic human rights.
The continent of Midnight has three leaders, the God, Goddess and Angel. The God lives in the center of the continent, the city of Umbra. The Goddess lives at the foot of the continent, Pall. The Angel lives at the top of the continent, Myth. The God is the ultimate power, then the Goddess and the Angel. They all have massive armies under them.
Dawn and Dusk are mostly filled with nomadic people, animals and no real leaders. There are no cities, but people living in the nature. Only Midnight has leaders and cities.
Parasite — a term that refers to people who possess an ability to transform/use/move a part of their body in a certain, unnatural way. One also has the option to pass on his ability by feeding the body part that he can transform to another person. But that doesn’t usually happen because then, the Parasite would have to live without the body part for his entire life.
A Parasite can easily be distinguished from normal people. They have white hair and eyes. Also, most of them can’t cry. If a Parasite cries, the colors in their eyes are slowly sucked out until there is completely no color in their eyes (but they can still see). If their eyes become completely white, they can’t cry anymore because there are no colors that can be sucked out. Lastly, they have abnormal strength in their arms and legs.
Because of their abilities, Parasites are feared and distinguished, normally. It’s nearly impossible for them to get a job or blend into the society. So most Parasites live outside the city borders, where there is a giant desert that stretches across Midnight. The desert receives little to no sunlight, but it is never completely dark or light either. So the sand always looks like many shades of gray. It has the name, the Gris Desert, and it is most commonly known as the Gray Desert.
While most parasites live in the Gris, a very small percentage of them reside in the cities. If they do, whether they know it or want it, they are followed by soldiers, disguised as civilians. (Soldiers don’t follow Parasites that live in the Gris because it’s almost impossible to find directions in there).
The remaining Parasites are a part of the government, under a promise that the government will provide a place to live, money, food and protection. Also, the government has promised that if the peace treaty is broken, the Parasites that work for the government will be safe. Those Parasites work separate from the army, and instead only come into action when a problem with Parasites arise (protest, attacks, etc). The Parasites that work with the government usually are stronger than normal Parasites, and have higher senses.
It is not largely known, but if a Parasite eats the body part of another Parasite (with the ability), that Parasite gains the ability of the other Parasite. The government Parasites feed on other Parasites, so they’re stronger.
Plot : Ren is a Parasite who lives in a city. When a Parasite kills the Angel, the peace treaty is broken. Del, who Ren believed to be his friend, reveals himself as a soldier and tries to kill Ren. After he manages to escape, Ren runs into the Gris Desert, where there are no roads and no destinations. When he finds out the secret of the God, who rules the center of the continent of Midnight, he'll have to face the extinction of his race.
