Author's Notes

  Hi. This is Masunori_M_D, and welcome to A Backpack, a Gun and a Codex, a science fiction novel. Other elements are included, but it will revolve around science fiction as its main theme.

  Before I talk about anything, thanks for reading my novel, although it is just one or two chapters. As an amateur author, I sincerely value your reads, as the reception would help me improve my novel.

  For now, the first few chapters may be a bit boring. However, the story would (hopefully) be more interesting after about ten chapters. Let me guide you through our content until now.

  'A Backpack, a Gun and a Codex' has a total of four arcs, named Training, Escape, You and I, To Where it All Begins, and Showdown. As of now, we are in our first arc of the novel. In this Training arc, we would have sub-arcs, which include the following sub-arcs. The content of the future arcs will be reviewed in the future.

I) Training (100 + 7 chapters)

            1) Introduction (11 chapters)

                - The Package (1 chapter)

                - First Mission (2 chapters)

                - Storage Assault (2 chapters)

                - Day in the Life of a Hero (1 chapter)

                - Arctic Tactic (4 chapters)

          2) Huntly Mine (20 chapters)

                - Chapters 12 to 31

          3) Point Nemo (21 + 2 chapters)

          4) Desert Artefact (20 + 2 chapters)

                - Chapters 53 to 72 

                - Interlude 3: Twist

                - Interlude 4: Final Role

          5) Deep into the Abyss (28 + 3 chapters)

                - Chapters 73 to 100 

                - Interlude 5: Mileva

                - Interlude 6: Pursuit

                - Interlude 7: Rendezvous

II) Escape, You and I

III) To Where it All Begins

IV) Showdown

  

  I will try to constantly update the progress. Hopefully, you guys will have the first volume of A Backpack, a Gun and a Codex by the end of this year. Once again, thanks for your support, and I would appreciate it if you could save this story in your library, or comment, or something. 

  Imagine travelling in a car at night. The headlight of the car can only show you limited vision in front, and you travel along the road with uncertainty, but in the end, you still reach the end of it. So does writing a story. Even the author does not know how the story will go, but eventually, we will reach an end, one that everyone is satisfied with. Let us all embark on this trip together.
