New Century Formosa Worldview Introduction
How long has it been since you noticed the race of your next-door neighbor?
Here,
Dragons run logistics companies.
Vampires work the convenience store night shift.
Fox spirits run breakfast shops.
Kappas work at the water bureau.
And the headless knight is selling pork ribs rice.
Monsters pay taxes.
Mythical beasts file taxes.
Outsiders also pay rent, take the MRT, and register for health insurance.
Welcome to New Century Formosa.
Monsters are not legends.
But citizens.
Dragons, fox spirits, kappas, vampires, Dullahan, sprites, celestial beings, and various fantasy races have long been a part of Taiwanese society.
This is not a story about humans discovering the world of monsters.
Nor is it a story about monsters hiding their identities.
Because everyone already knows they exist.
They might even live next door to you.
The truly interesting thing is not the existence of monsters.
But how Taiwanese people will face this.
When dragons start forming transportation unions.
When vampires start complaining about night shift allowances.
When fox spirit breakfast shops participate in food evaluations.
When Dullahan can't get identification because they don't have a headshot photo.
The problems arise.
How will these fantasy races adapt to Taiwan?
And how will Taiwan change them?
In Formosa, fantasy races also have to work.
There is no hidden world here.
No secret societies.
No rules against monsters being exposed.
The existence of fantasy races is a public fact.
The real stories happen in:
Convenience stores.
Breakfast shops.
Companies.
Schools.
Night markets.
MRT stations.
Temples.
And all the places you are most familiar with.
A Taiwanese urban fantasy world.
From the era of monster prohibition to racial equality.
From the outsider movement to interspecies marriage.
After decades of conflict, integration, and change.
To this day,
Humans and outsiders have long lived together on this land.
Many younger generations can't even understand
that people were once discriminated against because of their race.
