This is no mere game, however.
Us normal folks (NPC) cannot see these spectral beings but can still be impacted by them.
We see this through the eyes of Nilay, or “Nil,” who loves video games.
He gets a magical item that allows him to summon Ghosts.
Now he must deal with dangerous figures who seek to kill him and take his gear.
The problem is that his long-lost mother’s whereabouts are tied to the gadget.
How does Volume 2 expand this story?
Nilay will have to go through another crucible to save his mother.
So we tried to make it bigger and more epic than Volume 1!
We also get a dive into the past of Nilay’s parents and see how they dealt with Ghosts.
He’s lazy at times.
He loves video games.
He’s not popular.
He’s a first-generation South Asian living in North Carolina.
He’s feeling more pressure now.
It’s up to Nilay to determine what key in of Player and person he will be.
Do we meet any of these in Volume 2?
Will we find out more about the mystery of what has happened to Nilay’s mother in this volume?
MMWOG is heavily inspired by video games.
Did any specific titles have a direct influence on the series?
Frederick:For me,mostly Yu-Gi-Oh!But that wasn’t the only influence.
I’ve always asked Oscar to bring in any of the games that inspired him.
I’m curious to know what his are - although I’ll bet Pokemon is one!
Am I right, Oscar?
Oscar:Surprisingly, Fred, Pokemon isn’t one of them.
How about other manga?
What are your influences?
Frederick:For me, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has been a favorite since the ’90s.
It struck me as such a cool concept, especially if you do it from the perspective of kids.
So, that’s where the inspiration came from.
He’s an artist who certainly inspires me to be more dynamic with my composition and art style.
Is this a series you plan to develop over many years?
I mean, how do players impact the world politically, financially, and culturally?
The books explore some of this and will get deeper into that as we continue.
But for now our attention is focused on making sure we can give the third volume a proper conclusion.
