The opening of a new series that races through the rough waves of history with the passionate friendship of boys. We deliver a package packed with grand scale and relatable emotion.

1. Obi (Catchphrase)

'At the end of this wind, we will build our own country.'

Another 'Great Migration' that textbooks don't tell you about. Attila, a boy feared as the terrifying 'Hun,' and Aetius, a boy from Rome. The two who were never meant to cross paths will shake the fate of the world—.

A moving spectacle romance that overturns historical common sense, begins!

2. Main Story: 'New Germanic Migration Legend 1: The Hegemony of the Huns'

The 400s AD. There was a shadow racing across the vast grasslands of Central Asia, kicking up dust.

'I won't let you get away, Attila!' 'Haha, I wonder if you can catch me, Aetius!'

Running in the lead is the Hun prince with flowing black hair, Attila. Chasing him is the boy Aetius, who was sent from the Roman Empire as a hostage (exchange student). The two do not yet know their fate to meet again on the battlefield as the 'Scourge of God' and the 'Last Defender of Rome.'

Europe at the time was in the depths of chaos. Germanic tribes, having lost their food supply due to global cooling, were pouring into the Roman Empire as if pushed by the pressure of the Huns.

One night, while sitting around a campfire, Aetius muttered, 'In my country, they teach us that your people are "monsters." But you have the kindest eyes of anyone, and you love horses.'

Attila looked up at the stars in the night sky. 'We aren't monsters. We're just looking for a place to feed our companions. Aetius, I hope that one day we can create a square in this world that belongs to no one, where everyone can live and laugh.'

At that moment, an urgent report from the tribe arrived. His greedy uncle, Rua, was about to burn down a Germanic village. Facing the adults who shouted, 'Plunder is the way of the Huns!', Attila stood up.

'If we take by force, hatred will only chain together. I will carve out a path not with a sword, but with "trust"!'

Taking Aetius's advice, Attila devised a strategy that fused Roman tactics with the mobility of the Huns. By avoiding unnecessary killing and winning the Germanic people over as allies, he transformed the unprecedented great migration from an 'invasion' into a 'march toward a new world.'

The hands the two boys clasped together. It was a single ray of hope shining into the crumbling old world.

3. Afterword

Dear readers, thank you for picking up this book. 'World history is just rote memorization and difficult'... I wrote this story because I wanted to break that image.

The 'Great Migration' from the 4th to the 5th century is often dismissed in just a few lines in textbooks. However, there must have been tears of people driven from their homes and the dreams of young boys trying to live for tomorrow.

Attila and Aetius are real historical figures who would later fight as enemies. However, there is a theory that they recognized each other in their youth, and imagining how that 'friendship' worked behind the scenes of history is the true thrill of history.

If this book leads you to take even a little more interest in history, asking 'Why did they have to migrate?' or 'How is it connected to our lives today?', then as an author, I could not be happier.

4. Project Proposal Sales Document

[Project Name] Next-Generation Historical Entertainment 'New Germanic Migration Chronicles' Series Development Plan

[Target Audience]

• Middle and high school students who feel they are not good at history

• Young people who enjoy historical epics like 'Kingdom'

• Parents who want to provide their children with both 'learning' and 'inspiration' at the same time

[Unique Selling Proposition (USP)]

1. Redefining the 'Villain': Portraying Attila, who has a strong image as a destroyer, as a 'leader burning with ideals' to foster a multi-faceted perspective.

2. The Appeal of a Buddy Story: By focusing on the friendship between two boys from different cultural backgrounds, we ensure a thematic relevance that also applies to modern diversity.

3. Overwhelming Visuals: Expressing the sense of speed on the grasslands and the magnificence of Rome through cinematic prose to enhance immersion.

[Future Development Plan]

• Volume 2: Conspiracies within Rome and a parting.

• Volume 3: The Battle of the Catalaunian Plains (the greatest decisive battle in history, and a reunion).

• Media Mix: Educational manga adaptation and a linked project with a location-based game (touring historical spots).

What do you think? It is possible to proceed with writing the fateful parting scene between Attila and Aetius that follows this first volume, as well as specific tactical scenes.

Which scene should we describe in detail next?
