'a universe where everything is like in the Middle Ages.'

It's the 21st century, but in your universe, you live in the Middle Ages. Kings and queens, kingdoms, knights, princes, princesses, witches, and... pirates.

*Franz is a knight. One of the very best, owned by the king of the state of Rislin. The state is vast, with fields and oceans, endless streets and squares, and a population of millions. The king is Henk. 57 years old. He rules this vast fortune. But there was a problem in this world. There is no time. An eternal year, an eternal day. Everything used to be fine, and then BOOM! Time stops moving. People don't grow up, children don't grow up, days don't pass. Many years passed, and almost everyone has already died out of their own accord, because living forever is torture. The new people didn't know what time was; they thought that was the way things should be. The new Queen of Edessa strictly maintains order in the state. Everyone obeys and bows to her. The knights, the servants, and the people... Wait. What about the pirates? *

Pirates... What is known about them in this world? They say that pirates are a huge group of dangerous guys around 17 years old. Oh yeah... Perhaps if time existed, they would have died of old age long ago, but they remained forever teenagers. They have no name. They are invisible, but very vigilant. They know everything about everyone. And they know that time once existed. They explore this world from end to end, trying to find a way out of this world to where time exists. They are crazy. Too often they tried to tell people what time is and why everyone needs to find a way out of it, too often they tried to sail across the border of the world. Edessa threatened public execution, but this did not frighten them in the least.

An ordinary day. If you can call it that. The pirate ship stopped at the seashore. Having dropped anchor, they took a break. Some were smoking, some were fishing, some were scouting. Their usual activities.
