(TW, 18+) Project School Wars: A story of an amnesiac surviving inside a big military school shooting

Hello, everyone. Today I wanted to make this post to share a project that I have decided on making by pouring all my blood, sweat, tears, and soul into it. Please excuse me for my poor choice of words, sentence structure, and grammar for I started writing this at 2 A.M. feeling a little sleepy.

for this post, of all the entries I have made, I wanted to only share 3 entries to see if this could make a good chapter 1 for the story, but do know that they are subject to change as I continue to write more entries in the story. The link that I sent for you guys to read was just a copy of the original with entries beyond 3 removed, most of the potential spoilers from the writer's note removed, and the names of some characters redacted. the plot might be outdated in the future, so again, be aware of the story being subject to change.

Before I give you a synopsis, I need to give you a disclaimer first:
This following project have upsetting themes, imagery, and a traumatizing story. This could fuck you up. It has elements about Warcrimes, Politics, Religion, Psychological Horror, mental illness, Body Horror, Sexual Violenceschool shooting/bullyingchild abuse, and nudity. Lastly (and this is very important) I want to add up by saying any resemblance to anything in real life are PURELY COINCIDENTAL, the stories and the characters involved that I drew inspiration from my real life experiences and people I met DOES NOT REFLECT who they are and how I see them in real life, and it is not meant to attack or degrade them, so please TREAT THE STORY AS A WORK OF FICTION!!! all the events that happened in the story, the political discourse between any countries, and the geological setting, they should be treated as a WORK OF FICTION.

Synopsis of the story:
The world was so corrupted and destroyed, it was all because they have lost all sense of self value into the world. There was a new technological breakthrough in America, a machine that lets anyone erase their memories, a part of their memory, or everything. everyone wants to use it, even the government wants to use it, and they collaborate with them, but everything change and it all leads to World War 3, the downfall of the country, bringing destruction and chaos on other lands that surrounds it, and using innocent people as weapons of war, and turning all the schools into military training grounds where they will be forced to learn about war, politics, and militarism. They have completely turned them into weapons. because the world has lost sense of religious values, the revelation has come to happen, where god sent angels down to earth to bless the victims and drag those, who have been praying, somewhere in that very school war as the chosen ones to fix the wrong of the man who created that very machine.

Here is the link to the story

This story doesn't have an official name yet, but I have been mainly focusing on the story writing of this before moving on to the actual drawing of the manga/comic. I wanted to make a manga ever since, or any personal art project as a kid, something in a form of games, animations, or just a webcomic, but I was so young at the time and it's hard to concentrate during those circumstances. But now, I have grown, and I have found the guts to make something I have ever dreamed of. if the volume is ever finished, the art style might not meant to be really perfect. I wanna focus more on the delivery of the story over perfection and polishing of the visuals, so I still hope that you can somehow appreciate the art and find its charm, but other than that, I hope that you'll appreciate the story. I hope that this could make a good manga/comic, and I am sharing it here to know what you guys thought about it, and feel free to ask any questions about it too!

Title: Building my Indian mythic graphic novel universe – Gyanganj (7-volume plan)

Title: Building my Indian mythic graphic novel universe – Gyanganj (7-volume plan)

I Am Parteek Yadav- an indie graphic novel (Gyanganj) creator and I’m working on my own graphic novel series called Title: Building my Indian mythic graphic novel universe – Gyanganj (7-volume plan)

I’m working on my own graphic novel series called Gyanganj — a mythic, hidden realm set deep within the Himalayas, existing beyond normal time.

In my version, Gyanganj (also known as Siddhashram) is not just a spiritual place, but a guarded dimension where higher beings like Saptarshi and Chiranjivi figures exist — but I’ve reimagined it with a darker, conflict-driven narrative.

Volume 1 – Aarambh (The Beginning)

The story starts with three friends who go on a trip to the Himalayas.

After a series of accidental events, they discover a hidden cave containing a divine flower called Siddhipushpa, which grants them powers.

They are taken in by monks who begin training them to awaken these abilities.

But soon, a darker truth emerges — demons are searching for this flower.

A conflict unfolds, monks are killed, and before dying, a Guru gives them a map to Gyanganj.

To reach it, they must overcome the five inner human flaws.

Along the journey, one of the friends — Aditya — gets separated… and eventually returns as an antagonist.

Planned Structure (7 Volumes)

Volume 1: Origin, powers, separation

Volume 2: Aditya’s villain arc

Volume 3: Demon world introduction + first large-scale attack

Volume 4: Shapeshifter arc

Volume 5: Massive war (Gyanganj vs Demon world)

Volume 6: Main antagonist Devvrat enters

Volume 7: Final war conclusion (not a typical ending)

Each volume is planned as a full-length graphic novel (book format).

Universe Expansion (Beyond Gyanganj)

The world expands beyond a single hidden city.

There will be 4 additional ancient civilizations, each built around a core philosophy:

A Magic-based city

An Astra (weapons/energy) civilization

A Martial arts–driven society

A lost submerged continent inspired by Kumari Kandam

Core Idea

This isn’t just a story about powers or battles —

it’s about transformation, inner conflict, and hidden knowledge.

Would love honest feedback on:

The structure

The pacing of volumes

And the overall concept
