@ Miyami

And that's why I'm writing an AU fanfiction of this series (also inspired by GenocideHeart, who's writing his own AU of this).

Looking back at this series, there are lots of issues that are never correctly addressed and/or resolved. Then again, this is an H-game, so of course it focuses more on fetishes than the story.

I'm still in the planning stage of my fic, but here's the basic premise and a few description of the main characters:

Plot: Luka (not shota) is on a quest to help bring humans and monsters closer and stop their war against one another, as the monsters are always attacking humans and the humans are retaliating. The humans, however, are on an equal footing with the monsters. While the monsters have strong magic and physical skills, the humans make up for it with their growing knowledge, increasing usage of magic, and development of technology, especially weaponry. On a chance meeting, he encounters Alice, the Monster Lord, and both travel the world, discovering the different issues at every towns, villages, and other areas. Along the way, the secret pasts of the two are revealed, showing what personal stakes the two have in their journey.

Luka (later revealed an angel/human hybrid) lost his parents at an early age and was raised by Monsters, then humans. The Monsters, mainly Tamamo and Alma Elma, raised him out of pity and because of Tamamo's partnership with Luka's parents. Though Luka had bonded with the Monsters akin to a family, he started to see the wrongdoings of some Monsters as he grew up. Frustrated that the Heavenly Knights and the Monster Lord (who he hasn't met during his stay with the Monsters) aren't doing anything (at least, not doing anything that will have positive influence), he escaped from them with the help of a human who surprisingly knows a lot of magic and combat skills and was raised under his tutelage. Luka will not only use his swordsmanship skills during the journey, but also physical skills, mainly martial arts.

Alice will pretty much be the same, but her flaws will also be addressed (harshly in mid-story), such as her unwillingness to intervene in a human/monster conflict and when a Monster twists her order (leave the humans alone unless it's in retaliation or self-defense) to further their own goals.

The Heavenly Knights have a past with Luka during his childhood. Tamamo and Alma Elma were the ones who were close to him and raised him, but a terrible event (I cannot reveal it just yet) caused a rift between Luka and the two, which will be developed and resolved near the end. Erubetie, at first, hated him as much as any other humans and mistreated him. However, as time went on, Luka showed dedication and care to the Slime race and Erubetie slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) grew to appreciate and love Luka, but that will be the near end. Granberia didn't care much for Luka, as she only cared about being a strong warrior. However, when she noticed Luka's growing strength throughout his journey, she began to feel a rising affection for him, which he won't return for personal reasons.

The humans will have advantages over the Monsters, such as their proficiency in technology and the understanding of some of the Monsters' weaknesses, so that they're not hopeless and that they have a fighting chance.

The Monsters will, for the most part, have conflicted morals, but the readers will get an understanding that most of them will not fight (or have fun) to kill (at least, I hope so). Though their skills and abilities are the same from the original series, they will have different weaknesses that can and will be exploited, for better or worse.

Some side characters will involve both humans and Monsters. The humans will mostly be male, as Luka needs companions who he can truly relate to (as great as it sounds, I think Luka would go crazy if his companions were only female). The Monsters will consist of either childhood friends or friends he makes along his journey.

If you're interested and want to know more, let me know how I can PM you so that I can share more and gain feedback. I'd love to work on this fanfic during the summer, as I've gotten the planning part mostly done.
