Draco had risen to the top of the world through his exploits in the legendary FIVR game, Boundless.
After years of intense conflicts between his guild, Hellscape, and the guild of his former infidel lover, Darkrow, things came to a head when Draco conquered all.
Now, nothing stood in his way of total conquest within the highly acclaimed second world of mankind, as he intended to fortify his new empire.
Unfortunately, a timely assassination sent him back into the wheel of time for reincarnation, but not even the Gods gave him peace of death.

The Sweet Life: Secretly Married to a Movie Star
“Best Actress Xia, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Best Actress Xia, do you know that Director Han wants to court you? Will you say yes to him?”
Xia Yishan rubbed between her eyebrows. “No, I don't know anything about that. No comment, thanks.”
As the crowd clamored on, a tiny red book fell out of Best Actor Su’s pocket. A nearby reporter picked it up. “Good heavens! It’s the marriage certificate of Su Jingting and Xia Yishan!”
Su Jingting went to Xia Yishan and grabbed her round the waist. He said to the reporters who asked the questions earlier, “She doesn't have a boyfriend but a husband. Tell Han Zimo to stop dreaming.”
‘Hey, hey, hey! What happened to keeping our marriage a secret?!’

No. Star Wars is a completely original creation by George Lucas. It draws on various mythological and cultural elements from Western traditions, such as the hero's journey concept, rather than being based on a Japanese story.
One major difference is the cultural backdrop. Star Wars has a Western - style space - opera setting with concepts like democracy and monarchy in its galactic politics. Japanese stories often have a more feudal - like society with samurai and lords. Also, the use of technology in Star Wars is very different. In Japanese stories, technology might be more traditional or magical in nature, like in Studio Ghibli films where it's more about natural magic rather than high - tech spaceships.
Japanese Star Wars novels often have high - quality translations that preserve the essence of the original stories. They may also include some unique cover art that is influenced by Japanese art styles.
There isn't one specific Japanese story that 'Star Wars' is directly based on. It's more about drawing inspiration from various Japanese cultural and storytelling elements. For instance, the feudal Japan - like setting in some parts of the 'Star Wars' universe with different factions vying for power is reminiscent of Japanese historical tales.
Yes, it is. There are elements in 'Star Wars' that have been inspired by Japanese stories. For example, the concept of the samurai and their code of honor can be seen in the Jedi knights. Their discipline, their way of life, and their role as protectors bear some resemblance to the samurai. Also, the use of swords like lightsabers can be related to the katana, the traditional Japanese sword.
The influence of the Japanese story on Star Wars is multi - faceted. In terms of character design, some of the Jedi knights can be seen as having similarities to the samurai in Japanese stories, with their code of honor and combat skills. Plot - wise, the overarching theme of a fight against an evil empire is also a common thread. Japanese stories often have a strong moral compass which is also reflected in Star Wars.
Sure. There are Japanese translations of the classic Star Wars novels like the original trilogy novelizations. These offer a different reading experience as they might have some cultural nuances in the translation. They also help Japanese fans engage more deeply with the Star Wars universe. Additionally, there may be some exclusive Japanese - only Star Wars novels that explore new characters or side - stories within the Star Wars galaxy.
Star Wars is indeed based on a Japanese story to an extent. George Lucas has mentioned that he was influenced by Japanese cinema and storytelling. 'The Hidden Fortress' in particular had an impact. It had a similar concept of a grand adventure set against a backdrop of war and political intrigue, with characters on a journey that reveals a larger conflict.
In the Star Wars franchise, 'Star Wars A Star Wars Story' is important as it provides an opportunity to tell stories that are not directly part of the main saga. It can explore different time periods, planets, and cultures within the Star Wars universe. This helps in building a more comprehensive and detailed world, making the franchise even more immersive. By having these separate stories, it also allows for more creative freedom as they don't have to strictly follow the main plotline of the movies, which can lead to unique and interesting tales.
