Trying to build my own clothing brand from scratch, with my own designs, no money and no connections. I’ve already run into a few challenges, so I’d really appreciate some useful advice. If you were starting from zero, what would you focus on first?

It started with one character — Erandal Kogo.
Then came his world.
Its history.
Civilization.
Conflicts.
And at some point I realized I had an entire universe on my hands.
KRILAN once almost destroyed itself.
A conflict over technology, power, and the future of the planet turned into war.
The open war lasted only three days.
That was enough to destroy almost the entire surface of the planet. Around 200,000 people survived.
After the catastrophe, something appeared:
the Seed of Concord.
It can make dead land fertile again and unlock enormous reserves of water.
But only if the peoples of KRILAN reach agreement.
The problem is that the Seed has another side.
If someone consumes it, it loses its ability to restore the planet and its power passes to whoever takes it.
So the thing that could save their world becomes another reason for conflict.
Erandal was a warrior of House KOGO and took part in protecting the Seed.
During one battle, energy from the fighting struck the Seed directly.
A flash.
An explosion.
And then Erandal found himself on a mountain in a world he had never seen before.
Earth.
And he has no idea what happened to KRILAN after he disappeared.
Maybe his world is still there.
Maybe the war continued.
Maybe everything changed.
He simply doesn’t know.
And that’s where his story on Earth begins.
I don’t want to dump all the lore into one giant post, so I’ll stop here.
If you were reading or watching this story, what would you want to know about next?
The Seed, KOGO, KRILAN itself, or how Erandal starts living on Earth?
I’m gradually collecting more of the world here:

Hey everyone.
I’m 23 years old.
Just a few months ago, I was making pretty good money, but now I basically have nothing.
I’m currently living abroad and have to start over from zero. I have no stable income, around $30,000 in debt, and every month feels like a race against time.
I’m trying to start making money online again. Working offline is almost impossible for me right now because I don’t speak the local language, so I’ve been trying different things online, but nothing has really worked so far.
Rent is expensive and the pressure keeps growing. At the same time, I really don’t want to leave my current apartment and move somewhere much worse just to save money. Maybe that’s not the smartest decision in my situation, but that’s honestly how I feel right now.
The hardest part is that I know what I want from life. I want to get back on my feet, build something meaningful, propose to my girlfriend, and stop feeling like everything is falling apart.
I’d really like to hear from people who have been through something similar. Maybe you have some advice, or even just an outside perspective.
If you were in my position, how would you start getting out of this situation?
I’d especially like to hear from people who went through a really difficult period and managed to rebuild their lives.
If anyone is interested in how I ended up in this situation, I can share the full story in a separate post later.
Thanks for reading.
