Nightsingers

NCVR is a sci-fantasy action story created by two writer-artists: Gail D (also known as Ivy Grimoire) and Kelly S (also known as Beatrice). As of July 2018, the latter author is planning a comic version of the story.

Plot
In the year 289X, a group of scientists have discovered an unknown form of energy stored in certain pieces of music. The scientists named this energy "Nightcore"; and has been discovered to give humans, who listen to a song infused with the energy, would grant the listener meta-human powers.

However, with a power comes a price. Upon listening to a song containing the energy, the listener would fall into a trance, followed by fainting, and subsequently recovering. The individual would have their powers by then.

The group of scientists, lead by Doctor Kleizt, had plans to take over Stardust Islands to make a "perfect place", attempted to weaponize the energy, but failed, and out of it came a failed, "negative" variant of the energy, which was infused into a certain song called the "Eldritch Shout"; which came with all the side effects (but would distort the listener's mind) was unfortunately released to the public through radios and streaming platforms, causing thousands of the population of the Stardust Isles to succumb to the Eldritch Shout.

The breakout of the negative variant of the energy gave Kleizt an idea; to use the Shout as his doomsday weapon. With that, he wanted the power all to himself, and banned all forms of music and composition thereof in Rytem, the capital city of the Stardust Isles' First Island. However afterwards, he seemed to succumb to the Shout as well, following the mysterious disappearance of his colleagues.

Years later, in 29XX, a girl named Keila Gale discovers one of the Nightcore-infused songs, and obtains meta-human powers afterwards. She travels out of her home city, Rytem, and meets new friends while discovering the potential of her powers.

Setting
The story mainly takes place in Stardust Isles (a reportedly coincidental reference to David Bowie's album Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars).

According to the series lore, the Isles mysteriously appeared in 21XX somewhere near the Pacific Ocean. Several existing countries decided to work on making the isles habitable, which somehow had no human residents at the time of founding, and the process finished in 2490, in which the Isles had a fully working government set up and was granted a title as a country later in 2492.

The Stardust Isles consist of three main islands:
 * The First Island, the island with the highest amount of population at 70 million±. This island is divided into several "Regions", all with capital cities, but the whole island's capital city is Rytem.
 * The Southwest Island, the island with the second highest amount of population at 45 million±. This island is divided into three "Regions", all with capital cities, but the capital city of the entirety of the island is Mont-Pouvoir.
 * The Northeast Island, the island with the lowest amount of population at 8 million±. This island is divided into four "Regions", two without capital cities, but the capital city of the entirety of the island is Jovano.

Production/History
At first, Gail started the project as Nightcoroid in late-2013. Unfortunately, it was scrapped due to unpopularity. In mid-2014, Beatrice decided to join the production team as co-writer, character designer, and worldbuilding/setting writer.

In late-2014, the plot of the story, named Nightsingers, was different, as it involved aliens from another planet whom wielded the power of Nightcore. However, a few months after it was published; it was taken down due to, again, unpopularity. Fortunately, in 2015, the story then changed; the title was simply Nightcore, and the main character was Raye Nightcore and the plot involved her discovering her parents' past and her origins. The main premise stayed unchanged, but in a span of a year (2015-2016) the story had a few minor changes in progression.

In 2017-early 2018, the story was changed, and renamed as Nightcore Virus. This was the "dork age" of NCVR; some of the characters' plots were poorly written, and some characters were flat and had no purpose rather than "edgy"-ness. Fortunately, Beatrice stepped in to revive/improve a large amount of the story elements, and in mid-2018, the creator crew had a new member: Max (also known as MvflG). The story's name was changed to Code: Nightcore.

Main Story
The main format of the story is a web-novel, which is written mostly by Gail, grammar-corrected by Beatrice and some of the chapters written by the latter as well. The story is currently on its first season, with four more seasons planned to be written in the future.

The story may recieve a webcomic adaptation, again with the story by Gail and the art by Beatrice.
