An Exciting Underwater Tale: Alto the Diver
GC Novels is set to release its latest thrilling novel titled
'Alto the Diver: Adventurer and Sushi Master in the Abyss Dungeon', a captivating story that intertwines the lives of a charming dive adventurer and striking beach beauties against the backdrop of menacing sea creatures.
The Story Unfolds
Set five years ago, events unfurl around the
Okinawa Kinkai Caldera, where a mysterious submerged landmass known as the
Abyss Dungeon emerged, attracting global attention. This site revealed extraordinary artifacts and materials, valued immensely by research institutions and corporations worldwide. Yet, peril lurks, with
monsters—bizarre marine creatures—beckoning to attack unsuspecting adventurers and ships. Consequently, the treasures obtained from this underwater exploration are exchanged at staggering prices.
Fast forward to the current scenario, we find ourselves at
Mitake Island, built by a maritime conglomerate in the Ou Sumi Strait, a lawless haven where Japan's legal system does not apply. This creates a bustling chaotic environment filled with dreamers, where treasure seekers believe in striking it rich through dungeon exploration. Here emerges our protagonist,
Alto Kaima, a young man who took up the mantle of adventurer to pay off his father’s massive debts.
Jumping into Adventure
Alto, now a regular of this tumultuous community, faces numerous challenges, even being a victim of gambling losses, resulting in a loss of his gear. Despite his unorthodox appearance reminiscent of a delinquent, he's surprisingly kind-hearted, proving his mettle in confronting hardships.
As he embarks on quests to locate the
Sonic Tuna, a legendary monster, and uncover hidden, formidable suits within the depths of the Abyss Dungeon, Alto's escapades could very well lead him closer to easing his burden of debt, albeit his financial woes continue to spiral.
“What happened to your usual gear?”
“Lost it due to my gambling debts, damn it! That place is rigged!”
A Diverse Cast of Characters
The story also features engaging characters:
- - Eliza Belmont, a stunning 19-year-old Sicilian, runs the Matsushi (magical sushi) establishment on Mitake Island. Although her venture struggles, she remains laid-back, often pampering Alto and contributing to the dynamic of their relationship as she navigates through wins and losses of their business.
- - Wu Bulin, an 18-year-old from China, is Eliza's classmate from culinary school and co-owner of their sushi establishment. With her dreamy disposition represented by her silver hair and sharp gaze, she offers necessary support behind the scenes, ensuring that they continue despite difficulties.
As their characters develop, they juxtapose each other's personalities and push through the uncertainties of their chaotic world.
