Zolton's Wrath

Zolton's wrath is a comedy, adventure story about a group of misfits that accidentally trigger a prophecy and become magically bound by it to save the world.  It has fantasy elements inspired by Dungeons and Dragons, humor inspired by South Park, and themes of freedom and nature inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean.  It is currently a work in progress.  I intend to write the first three chapters at least and see how much interest there is for me to continue from there.

Inspiration

I wanted to write this book because I find a few things wrong with American culture that I did not think had any chance of changing unless I wrote a story mocking them.  I separated the book into three books with essentially the same story continued between the books.  This is how Lord of the Rings is written.  I am primarily trying to criticize: will full ignorance, megalomania, and obsession (purity culture) which are respectively the subtitles of the three books.  Each book has a primary villain that embraces the subtitle of the book.  For instance, the first book has a villain that is willfully ignorant.

 

An example of willful ignorance is when a man brought a gun into an innocent pizza shop and killed someone because he erroneously thought a child sex ring was underneath the pizza shop.  He believed this because Q Annon told him so.  I hear many Americans say something like, "well he was trying to save the children, so he is a good guy."  I am annoyed that many Americans do not seem to understand that if you are going to be act on something, then you have a responsibility to research, and apply probability theory when possible, to attempt to determine the odds that you are correct.  You might mean well, but not thinking things through can get people killed for no reason and you deserve no praise even if your intentions where, "pure."

I am tired of hearing many Americans praise rich and powerful people who embrace meglomania.  More often then not their exploration and abuse of others is what made them so powerful.  Not every powerful person is evil, but many are overly praised.

Purity culture encourages obsession and can lead to sever mental illness and subsequent anti-social behavior.  Americans need to warn each other of potential problems with purity culture more than we do or we are all responsible for the damage that it can cause.
