There's a typo up there, it's "Mr. Morgan" not Mr. Mogran. I was nodding off when I finished this.

"It's Levi-OH-sa, not levio-SAH".

`````````

It's still 11:59...no, wait, nevermind.

I was going to upload this sooner...but I forgot what went on the text bubbles...

Prologue: [link]

Page 2: [link]

It took me 4 months...4 months to work on the re-writing and naming. Actually, at least to have the story about 75% roughed out in my mind. When I did the prologue it was mostly improvisation since I had started changing the story mid-animation. Though, everything was pretty much ironed-out since February, I was having trouble thinking of a name for this. The name? *picture Minion saying "Black Mamba* Harmonic Drive.

It's a pun and ironic. To put it simply, a Harmonic Drive is a type of gear, and it can mean the 'harmonic drive' that'll happen. See? Word play. (info: [link])

:iconnotimpressedplz: Okay, okay, it COULD be better, but it's a start.

Synopsis (for the new readers): Synopsis: Nicholas only has one goal: finding the next get-rich-quick scheme. While THAT plan comes into action, he and his business partner, Artes, run a small repair-and-invention shop, hoping to one day get a sponsor and leave the slums. One faithful day, Nicholas finds a priceless artifact that will solve all of his financial problems...if it wasn't the most sought-after item in the world. Choosing greed over brains, he decides to drag Artes out of their town to sell the artifact's schematics to enemy countries--while holding the item for a ransom to the folks back home. World against them, and barely middle-aged (in 19th Century terms where the life expectancy was 37-50 years old) the duo set out to take on the world...or get rich trying.


I'm still working with names, but, yeah, that wouldn't be too hard. I'm usually pickier when it comes to titles than places.

About the page: I'm a perfectionist. I have re-done the first page about 5 times. At first it would follow straight after the prologue, then it would change to Artes, and finally, I decided to stick with a prologue of the prologue. You know, to get to know the characters a little better, and stuff.

Look at Nicholas, he doesn't give a damn about paying debts.

Take that Tax Day! (See my rush for wanting to post this today--erm, yesterday?)

Anyway, I'll upload another page tomorrow. For now, updates aren't solid-solid, but they might be Friday, Saturday and Wednesday. Those days I might upload a page or two, depends on my time.

Characters and story (c) me~!

Okay, so the whole "Dreamland OC" kind of confused me. Artes is NOT a bad guy, and Nicholas is NOT trapped in some place where he needs to fight other people. Alright, I think I got it! :la:

WHOA WHOA WHOA

you actually started this? THAT WAS FAST. D:

Did you ever get farther in that OCT or did that go down the bucket at some point? either way I'm pretty excited (and flabbergasted) that this is actually existent.

Is a critique in order? I can't think of anything so I'll just wait a few pages in XD
