It exploded!

Zhang Ye's blog exploded with views!

"Heavens!"

"This passage is godly!"

"It gave me goose bumps all over!"

"What a great 'I want for the sky to not cover my eyes'!"

"Teacher Zhang is still Teacher Zhang! He's still as good as ever! He just doesn't disappoint!"

"I was wrong! I doubted the quality of this novel when it was first released and even said that this was not up to Teacher Zhang Ye's usual standards, but I finally f**king understand this novel! This Legend of Wukong is definitely a masterpiece! Teacher Zhang Ye is trying to send a message through his novel! He's writing from his experiences from the past few days and channeling in his anger and considerations of everything that has happened. He is letting everyone know by pouring all of his heartfelt emotion into this novel for everyone to see!"

"This passage is a real classic!"

"'I want for all those Buddhas to vanish from my life'? Zhang Ye is really daring to write his heartfelt thoughts!"

"Teacher Zhang has always spoken through his work! This time is no exception either! The only difference is that he has always used poems to scold others, but this time he changed the medium to a novel."

"Hahahaha! I dare not claim that Teacher Zhang Ye's literary level is the top in this country, but his face-smacking level has to be the top! He is f**king using the characters to represent the crosstalk world and related people and scolding them in it! I think this is too awesome! This style of writing is so godly!"

"Teacher Zhang is invincible!"

"It's so well written that it makes my blood boil!"

"Reading Zhang Ye's novel just makes me feel so fulfilled!"

"It's so good that I'm crying! This is what you call a f**king novel!"

"How I wish those crosstalk people can see this! @TangDazhang @XuWenxiang @CrosstalkAssociation @FolkArtsAssociation! You people are really good at accusing Zhang Ye for being vulgar and not understanding what art is, but now Teacher Zhang Ye has thrown out a new work and its artistic levels are good enough to fling you a hundred streets away! A person who is able to come up with such a good novel doesn't know what art is? Teacher Zhang does not perform crosstalk according to your rules because he doesn't want to associate with you lot! But you guys still call him out so much that it makes it seem like you're addicted to calling him out just for the sole purpose of calling him out! You bunch of people are precisely the ugly and evil deities in Legend of Wukong!"

"Muahaha! This novel is so well written to fit the occasion! It's completely portrays the current situation that Teacher Zhang is in now! ‘I want for the sky to not cover my eyes’? Domination! Such domination!"

"Teacher Zhang! I do not know if the living beings understand you, but we do! We completely understand!"

"Why is this novel getting such low click rates? Such an awesome novel. Why isn't anyone reading it?"

"It's because the media outlets aren't helping Teacher Zhang promote it! He's still banned, so most people do not know that Zhang Ye has a new work released!"

"Damn! How hateful!"

"After reading Legend of Wukong! I find them even more terrible now! I did not know how much pressure Teacher Zhang Ye had to bear with in the past, but after reading this novel, I think I finally understand! I have nothing to say! Except that I am supporting Zhang Ye unconditionally! They won't help to promote? They want to ban Teacher Zhang? Let's do it! We fans will help promote him instead!"

"Right!"

"Let's do it!"

"Well said! Count me in!"

There were already a lot of people who liked the Legend of Wukong novel, but with this, they liked it even more now! The people who did not understand the meaning, or those who did not really like it at first, now changed their views about it and were fighting to give their reviews about it. Some people even started to help Zhang Ye promote the novel on Weibo and other forums to allow more exposure for Zhang Ye's new work! 

On Weibo: "Zhang Ye released a new novel! Come and see!"

On Tieba: "Zhang Ye's new novel Legend of Wukong. Link below!"

On a forum: "Extra, extra! Zhang Ye has written a new novel after half a year's hiatus from writing! The godlike Teacher Zhang Ye! And the godlike Legend of Wukong! Everything can be seen on Zhang Ye's blog! Go and check it out! If you don't like it, feel free to beat me up!"

Everyone's promotion seemed to work as a large influx of new readers surged in. Of course, not all of the people who read the novel liked it. Some people felt it was a little too obscure, or that the genre did not fit their taste in novels, so they left after just reading a little, but a larger number of people stayed to finish reading all six chapters. They were all left amazed, like those before them, especially with their thoughts lingering on the final sentences. Many of them were left with their blood boiling!

The click rate was increasing!

100,000!

200,000!

300,000!

......

At the Wu residence.

Upstairs in the villa, in the study room.

Zhang Ye had finished writing the sixth chapter and did not plan on writing anymore for today. First, this was because he had written to the most suitable chapter of his intentions and it would be good to stop here. Second, he did not have the energy to continue writing any further. He had typed out too many characters in these past few hours and was totally drained. He felt dizzy as the concentration sapped him more than anything physical would. This kind of tiredness did not affect him physically, but mentally, which made him feel much more uncomfortable.

He stretched his waist!

Gururu. His stomach rumbled. He was hungry.

Zhang Ye rubbed his belly, knowing that he had really exhausted himself this time, but he was at Wu Zeqing's house now and it would be awkward for him to go downstairs to look for food. He did not know how to cook either, and Old Wu's house probably did not have a large stockpile of instant noodles. If he were to go check the fridge, it would be as good as asking Old Wu to cook for him. It didn’t feel right, so Zhang Ye decided to just deal with it. He just drank a few more sips of water, hoping that it would help alleviate his hunger.

Dong, dong, dong.

Knocking came from the door behind him. "I'm coming in, OK?"

Zhang Ye quickly said, "Please come in, please come in."

Old Wu was really respectful towards him. This was her house after all and she held a higher position than him at work, yet she still knocked on the door courteously before coming in. Sigh, how good it would be to marry Old Wu!

When the door opened, a fragrant aroma of congee filled the room.

Wu Zeqing was holding a bowl of steaming hot congee, making her way slowly into the room. "Are you hungry?"

Zhang Ye was so touched that he immediately stood up to get it from her. "Aiyo, be careful. Don't scald yourself. I'll take it from here!"

"Sit down. Get something to put on the table so that I can place this down." Wu Zeqing did not allow him take the bowl. "It's very hot. Don't take it."

Zhang Ye immediately said, "My skin is rough and thick, so I'm not afraid of being scalded, but your hands are more delicate!"

Wu Zeqing laughed a little and placed the bowl of porridge on the table. "Big Sis is not that fragile. This was just prepared a short while ago, so eat it while it's still hot."

Zhang Ye did not know what to say. "How did you know I was hungry? My stomach growled a little just now, but I was a little embarrassed to go downstairs to look for food."

Wu Zeqing said, "You've written so much just now, so I guessed that you were probably getting hungry as well. I went to prepare the congee a while ago, so eat it first. Is the taste good?"

"Good!" Zhang Ye did not say too much. He knew that Old Wu was good to him and he would remember this. Their relationship hadn't been too normal to begin with. For instance, Old Wu's nephew, Wu Mo, had received Zhang Ye's help along with "Ode of Mulan," which Zhang Ye had written for her. There were also other incidents as well that Old Wu had helped him out with before. Not to mention the most noteworthy incident in which Zhang Ye helped her take photos and the case of sending the wrong message in the first place? You couldn't consider something like that a superior-subordinate relationship, could you? Of course not, but friends? It wasn't really so either, but looking back, their relationship wasn’t that of strangers either.

He ate the congee.

The first mouthful of it was enough to make him want more, "Ah? Century egg and pork congee? Aiyo, this is too delicious! Preparing this congee must have been a very troublesome task!"

Wu Zeqing said, "Just eat."

Zhang Ye said while he ate, "My novel...did you read it already?"

"Yes." She sat beside him and nodded.

Zhang Ye asked in anticipation, "What do you think of it?" He was very conscious of what Old Wu thought of it since the novel was mainly written because Old Wu said she wanted to read a new novel of his. If Wu Zeqing did not like it, then his all of effort would have been in vain. This was why he really looked forward to hearing Old Wu’s thoughts.

Wu Zeqing did not answer him, but just looked at him and asked, "This Legend of Wukong was really written on the spot?"

He said, "Yes."

Wu Zeqing said, "If I did not criticize you, then this novel would have never seen the light of day?"

Zhang Ye hesitated for a bit, thinking that it might have really been so, but coughed and said, "No, but it was thanks to you that my inspiration just came and I started writing without stopping like I was possessed." After a pause, he spoke, "Oh yes, you have not told me what you think of it yet? Do you think it's a good read?"

Wu Zeqing smiled and said, "It's more than that. Although this unconstrained style of writing is considered as online literature, the level it has reached already far exceeds traditional literature. Hur hur, looks like Big Sis has criticized you well and rightly. You are full of literary talent. If you don't show everyone what you’ve got, it would be such a pity. Do you know which line Big Sis liked the most?" She recited, "I want for all living beings to understand me."

When he heard that she liked it, he was naturally very happy. "It's good as long as you like it."

"There are many feelings in your heart." Wu Zeqing said, "If you just show everyone a little of it, the literary world will not be able to continue living in peace, even if it wanted to. Big Sis is looking forward to the development of the story in its later chapters."

Without another word, Zhang Ye said, "So. I will continue writing through the night!"

She waved her hand. "That's enough. Enjoy your congee and get some rest for tomorrow."

Zhang Ye did not force the topic. "Sure, I will surely let you read it before you leave Beijing. I will definitely get it finished within three days!"

Wu Zeqing took the bowl of finished congee and held it in her hand. "OK, I will wait for it then." After saying that, she took the empty bowl and spoon and went downstairs with light footsteps.

He looked at his watch.

It was getting late.

Zhang Ye blinked and blinked, thinking that it should be time for him to go home. It was already past 11PM at night and it would be awkward for a man like him to stay over at a woman's place. But since Wu Zeqing did not say anything or made it seem like she wanted him to leave, Zhang Ye pretended he didn’t notice and just went along with it. He did not mention it and intended to stay over to see if anything would arise. If Old Wu asked him to leave just before she slept, then he would go. If Old Wu didn’t say a word, then Zhang Ye would just stay over, but...Hmm, he needed an excuse? He would just call it the fine-sounding reason of staying up all night to write his novel!

Suddenly, his cellphone rang!

Zhang Ye, who was having crooked thoughts, got a bit of a scare from this. A thief would always have a guilty conscience. He checked his cellphone to see who was calling and answered, "Old Yao, what's the matter?"

Yao Jiancai said, "Quickly publish the next chapter!"

"Ah? You're talking about Legend of Wukong?" Zhang Ye was a little stunned, but he understood after a moment of thinking. He said happily, "Even you’re reading my novel? This novel isn't meant for people your age."

Yao Jiancai said in a depressed voice, "I won't read that shitty novel of yours even if you gave it to me, but my Mimi likes it a lot and she's been begging me to ask you."

"My student wants to read it?" Zhang Ye asked. "I was still thinking why someone like you, who has no class, would read it at all? Ha, but I can't publish anymore. I've stopped writing for the day."

"What about your stockpile!"

"There's isn't any. I published whatever I've written."

"Don't give me that bullshit. Quick!"

"Old Yao, I really don't have anymore written for now. Why would I lie to you!"

......

Later, Zhang Ye's colleague also began calling him.

— Peking University's Chinese Department teacher Su Na.

"Teacher Su, you're still awake so late at night?"

"How could I sleep? Teacher Zhang, you're really great. I saw your blog post just before I went to bed, so I curiously had a glance and that was the start of the rabbit hole. I’ve stayed up throughout the night and finally finished reading all six chapters and was left wanting more. Please let me read the stockpile!"

"..."

"Quickly!"

"I really don't have a stockpile, Teacher Su."

"I don't believe you. We're colleagues, so if you won't let me read the stockpile today, then let's not keep in touch anymore."

"Hai, don't mind me, but you’ll have to wait for tomorrow. I will write more tomorrow. My hands are already breaking."

"At least tell me the plot."

"I can't reveal that."

"You… We're not friends anymore!"

"Heh, don't say that, don't say that!"

......

A few other friends called him as well!

They mentioned words like "treating a meal," "smashing windows," and other threats or benefits, which made Zhang Ye at a loss of whether to laugh or cry, but his mood was very good. All this meant that Legend of Wukong was a success and popular with readers.

"What's that?" Li Shi Ying asked Jiu Wei with telepathy. She couldn't see the thing clearly, but the one chasing behind them was glowing in a golden light.
"Sorry mistress, I don't know what that is, but since I sense spiritual energy coming from that creature, let's assume that it's a beast." Jiu Wei tried hard to think of a possibility but none came to his mind. He didn't know what thing that was chasing after his mistress.
'Guys, the one behind us might be a beast so keep swimming to get away from it!' Li Shi Ying continued swimming as she asked Jiao Cong Ming and the others to hurry to get away from the glowing thing behind.
She could just stop to engage in a battle with this unknown creature, but her feelings told her to run. She also had summoned back her shark beast in fear the unknown beast would suddenly attack her beast.
'Tell Li Shi Ying that the thing behind us swims so fast!' Zhan Jiouli poked Jiao Cong Ming as he told him to rely on the message. He and Xie Mei were at the very back of the group since they had to protect Jiao Cong Ming, so they knew for sure just how fast the thing behind them was.
If the thing caught up with them...the one that would suffer most would be him or Xie Mei first! He believed in Jiao Cong Ming's array, but his instincts as a cultivator told him that the thing behind…could get past Jiao Cong Ming's array!
'Li Shi Ying, Zhan Jiouli says that the creature is so fast, it has almost caught up to us.' Jiao Cong Ming gripped the flag tighter as he poked Li Shi Ying to inform her. He very much wanted to let Li Shi Ying hide the flag in her storage space, but a pity they couldn't do so. It was against the rules.
Their flag had to be visible, else they would fail in this second round.
'What?! That fast??' Li Shi Ying couldn't help but gasp in surprise, even though she didn't stop her movement. She was sure that their team's speed was very fast already thanks to the speed talisman they used. It was still in effect, so how could the unknown creature catch up so fast?!
'Let's stop and fight that thing.' Zhan Jiouli pulled on Li Shi Ying's sleeves as he signalled her that they should stop and battle the creature. He thought it would be impossible to escape from this creature that suddenly chased after them.
Not to mention that they couldn't see its appearance due to the blinding golden light enveloping the creature!
'Can we fight it?' Li Shi Ying stopped and blocked Jiao Cong Ming from swimming forward, immediately stopping the whole team as she turned her head around, facing Zhan Jiouli.
She saw Zhan Jiouli signal to fight even though she didn't know what he was saying, so she stopped for a bit to prepare for that. She too thought the same as Zhan Jiouli. If they escaped they would only waste their energy, since the creature would still chase after them no matter how fast they were.
Fighting the creature would be the best way to defend themselves!
'Let's fight, Jiao Cong Ming, strengthen your array.' Zhan Jiouli nodded his head and quickly asked Jiao Cong Ming to strengthen his array. He just had a feeling that the array they had now wouldn't be able to protect them from the creature behind.
'I am strengthening it now.' Jiao Cong Ming squinted his eyes as he looked at the golden light coming closer to their place. The golden light wasn't big, it was only as big as a small fish when they looked closer.
Is that really a beast? There was a beast that small? Wait. That shape...looked familiar…
Jiao Cong Ming had strengthened his array and at the same time, his eyes caught the shape of the creature inside the blinding golden light. If his eyes didn't play a trick on him...what he saw was…
A pair of wings?
Jiao Cong Ming's face paled as he wanted to shout, yet realized that he couldn't speak underwater. He could only tug on Li Shi Ying's sleeves while shouting without sound.
'That's the golden fairy from the legend!!' Jiao Cong Ming panicked, but Li Shi Ying could only catch the word 'legend' from Jiao Cong Ming.
What? Legend?
'What legend?' Li Shi Ying asked Jiao Cong Ming as she watched the creature suddenly disappear from their sight. The golden light before was gone, leaving nothing but empty an spot.
?! Where the hell did that creature go to??
'Yes, legendary golden fairy!' Jiao Cong Ming also saw the fairy disappear, and his heart stopped beating for a second. The fairy could move very fast, don't tell him…
Just when Li Shi Ying caught the word 'golden fairy', Xie Mei shouted to Zhan Jiouli as she saw the creature suddenly appear behind Zhan Jiouli, right inside their array!
'The creature! Jiouli, dodge!!' Xie Mei pulled Zhan Jiouli who didn't know the creature already got right behind him. Xie Mei pulled Zhan Jiouli so he could dodge the creature's movement, but a pity.
She was too late!

Hello everyone, guys and gals.

I have decided to put "The eXpandables" on indefinite hiatus. It pains my heart (I mean, literally), but it must be done.

One of the main reasons is the perceived ratio between efforts spent and benefits gained.

The eXpandables took a lot more effort to research and to write. I could barely made 3 chapters per week. As a result, it has very low visibility. Coupled with the rather niche theme and setting (if you ask people from 15-20 years old if they care about 'cyberpunk' you'd probably get blank stares most of the time) and the rather somber tone, very few people cared about it.

I know it had a lot of potential (and I see the collection still slowly climbing, meaning some people are interested in this genre) but I don't see myself being good enough to bring out those potential in an acceptable time frame.

By comparison, my third work "Legend of the Gunslinger Mage" is light-hearted and a lot more fun (for me) to write. Judging by the amounts of collections, views, reviews, votes and comments it has received, it is also a lot more popular to readers.

Just as an FYI, on Oct 23, after three DAYS of its launch, Gunslinger Mage exceeded the number of collections (number of people who added it to the library) of eXpandables. At the moment, it had four times the amount of collections, and more views than eXpandables, despite having fewer chapters, fewer words and being only 9 days old.

I don't have enough time and energy (and let's not talk about skills) to work on more than one novel at a time. I learned that when I started my second novel. Now that my third novel is out, and has received a much enthusiastic reception, I've arrived at this decision. 

I'm really sorry for dropping the novel. It's unfair to you guys, but please think of me as a normal guy too. I can't work very long without motivation. 

I might revisit this series, but not before I complete my new novel. In a few days, I will the planned plot points for the series. No really big spoilers, of course.

Again, I hope you guys understand, and (maybe) see you in my new work.

Novel is on hiatus so I can focus on my main work: "Legend of the Gunslinger Mage."

~In Hiatus due to my laziness. Hypocritical due to me writing another novel so i apologize in advance.(I got burned out as i realized writing this story was boring and more like a chore.I mainly wrote this for the sake of fun.Sorry.)

Li Yao was silent for a moment. He quickly calculated what kind of consequences such a game setting would bring.
Mortal, immortal… One hour as an Immortal Cultivator meant two hours as a mortal?
Observing his expression, Ling Xiaole smiled, with intense confidence beaming out of her eyes. "I know what you're thinking. You're wondering why we created the DLC 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals', and you're concerned that some people will be too addicted to the slaughter, destruction, and slavery in the game and eventually become lost in the evil path of the Immortal Cultivators, really turning into Immortal Cultivators in the end, right?"
"Should I not be concerned?"
"I don't know if you should." Ling Xiaole shook her head. Her voice was crisp and powerful as she said, "But I know that Vulture Li Yao created the game 'Civilization' for the purpose of collecting the big data that existed for real in the entire world so that we could deduce the thousands of different possibilities of our future with the wisdom of all mankind.
"Of course, we can say with a light heart that the true path of immortality is bad, but we cannot bury our heads in the sand like ostriches and pretend that we cannot see the true path of immortality and the worlds of the Immortal Cultivators.
"In fact, however we criticize the path of the Immortal Cultivators, the Imperium of True Human Beings governed by the Immortal Cultivators has already stood for a thousand years at the center of the cosmos and is not likely to perish in the next few centuries from what we can see.
"It is undeniable that the true path of immortality is an option for the future of mankind, although it is an evil and inefficient one in our eyes. But since it exists at the center of the cosmos in reality, we will have to learn about it, study it, and figure out its birth, development, peak, and decline. We must understand why it is evil and inefficient so that we can find out a way to defeat it, reform it, and renovate it in the end!
"This was the purpose of 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals' when we created it.
"I believe that Vulture Li Yao released the Immortal Cultivator Su Changfa with his personal influence and allowed the guy to freely disseminate the theory of the Immortal Cultivators for the exact same reason a hundred years ago, didn't he? We were only taking a step forward on Li Yao's shoulders."
"Don't be humble. You have essentially kicked on Li Yao's forehead hard and make a giant leap forward!" Taking a deep breath, Li Yao mumbled, "Do excuse me. I find it a bit difficult to contain myself. After all, we've wandered in the sea of stars for a thousand years, and I only just woke up from a prolonged hibernation. I'm truly dazzled and lost for words after seeing your amazing new world!"
With a sweet smile, Ling Xiaole replied, "It's totally understandable, but I assure you that you, as well as everybody on Firefly, will soon grow fond of the new world that is full of wonders!"
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "However, is there really nobody who grows fond of the feeling of being an Immortal Cultivator and really becomes an Immortal Cultivator in the end because of a game like…'Legend of the Mortal Immortals'?"
Batting her big eyes, Ling Xiaole asked back, "Special Representative Lin, let me ask you a question. What kinds of entertainment do you have on Firefly? Novels, movies, and video games in the Grand Illusionary Land, I believe that you must have all of them, right?"
Li Yao was slightly dazed. He nodded. "Of course. In the narrow starships with insufficient resources, virtual games are the cheapest and most convenient kind of entertainment."
Ling Xiaole went on. "I assume that, if you also have novels, movies, and video games, the most popular ones are probably not about casual, carefree daily life but full of killing, blood, violence, and other mature content. Even the works orientated for the females are brimming with conflict and struggle, instead of them helping one another friendlily, right?"
"Well…"
He seemed to get what Ling Xiaole was trying to say.
"Do you feel that a normal person will turn amok after they read a detective novel because they admire the murder's methods in the book?" Ling Xiaole said with a smile. "Do you feel that an avid play will go on a killing spree in reality after they play a shooting game because they think that the game is not exciting enough?
"On the other hand, since there is a population of more than a hundred million on Firefly, naturally, a lot of crimes must've happened. But exactly how many of the brutal and ruthless crimes are purely caused by certain particularly bloody and violent novels, movies, or games?
"Furthermore, do you agree with censoring all content that involves blood and violence in every kind of entertainment just for the purpose of crime prevention? Do you believe that there will be no more crimes after such things are censored?"
Li Yao thought for a long time and had to admit that Ling Xiaole was right.
"Essentially speaking, a virtual world of Immortal Cultivators is no different from a regular shooting game, a novel that depicts gangsters and criminals, and a movie where blood flows into rivers and broken limbs fly everywhere.
"For someone who has a happy life in reality and who has a lot of things to protect and fight for, it is impossible to become an Immortal Cultivator just after playing 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals' for a while.
"On the other hand, if someone becomes a murderer after reading a horror novel or an Immortal Cultivator after playing 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals', the problem lies not with the novel or the game but in every aspect of their real life.
"If the deep-rooted problems in real life are not resolved, such persons will degenerate all the same even if they do not read any novels or play any games.
"Therefore, what matters is to resolve the problems in real life, not trouble the virtual worlds. After all, the virtual worlds are just a mirror of reality, and you cannot expect to fix the ugliness of reality by smashing the mirror.
"Of course, if somebody really shows signs of being transformed, it will be easier to observe and control them when they are transformed in 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals', which is certainly much better than them being transformed into Immortal Cultivators in a certain dark corner of our society without anybody else knowing, right?"
What else could Li Yao do except nod his head?
"There's no need to worry." Ling Xiaole smiled. "Of course, we are well aware of the severity of the issue. After 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals' was released, the authorities traced and observed the players for decades. Their conclusion was that there is no major difference between the crime rate of the players of the DLC and the crime rate of non-players. In large search engines, the players' searches on the relevant theories of 'true path of immortality' rose in the first three years after the DLC was released and reached a peak in the fifth year. Then, they began dropping until they were even 5.7% lower than before the release.
"In other words, for the players of 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals', the attraction of the 'true path of immortality' has been declining every year. The more one plays as an Immortal Cultivator in the virtual world, the less likely they will become an Immortal Cultivator in reality!"
Li Yao and Heiye Lan were deep in thought. "Why is that?"
"The psychologists and sociologists have run profound analyses on the issue. The papers on the topic are as high as a mountain, but there has never been a conclusive theory.
"Perhaps, other than the real perverts, most normal people still prefer sunnier, more beautiful, and kinder things, don't they? Maybe, the 'double pain' during the time as mortals calmed their feverish brains down and made them realize that, although they could play as almighty Immortal Cultivators and the heroes of 'Legend of the Mortal Immortals' in the virtual world, they would probably become human-shaped props that could barely be called a 'supporting role' when the expedition army of the Imperium conquers the federation. Their only outcome would be to be stomped on, savaged, and destroyed.
"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Every player remembers the motto clearly after playing the DLC."
While the three of them were talking, the 'Storm Assault Team' who dressed up like soldiers of the Imperium had already gone deep into the excited crowd, interacting with the audience and warming up the atmosphere.
The super band from the core worlds was indeed extraordinary. Enhanced by the sound and visual effects, they fully demonstrated the arrogance and invincibility of the army of the Imperium.
But if one observed them more carefully, one would realize that they were not as confident as they appeared to be. While Li Yao could perceive the magnificence of the Imperium from them, he could also perceive their fear and agitation. In the end, a normal spectator would both hate the Imperium and think that the federation could win!
Leaving their expertise in the game aside, their acting skills and their professionalism were enough to amaze Li Yao. No wonder the other entertainment businesses had all declined while gaming live stream industry was still thriving!
Right at the climax of the interaction of the two parties, when the local game experts of the federation should show up to accept the challenge according to the itinerary, an unexpected incident took place. A few uncles and old men, who were gray haired and wearing artificial limbs, implying that they could be disabled veterans, somehow squeezed through the crowd and lunged at the 'Storm Assault Team'. They fought the performers as if the latter were a real army of the Imperium.
The scene immediately fell into chaos.
Although the security guards came as soon as possible to control the few disabled veterans, two game experts were still punched multiple times. Because of the heavy fists of the veterans, their faces were blue and swollen. They were stunned on the spot, both amused and embarrassed.
Li Yao held back his smile and said, "It seems that the disabled veterans of the old generation in the federation cannot appreciate the fashion of the younger generation yet!"
Covering Li Yao and Heiye Lan, Ling Xiaole quickly left the chaotic spot under the protection of a few Secret Sword Agents.
She pressed her ears to receive the instructions from her superior. A moment later, she grinned and said, "Special Representative Lin, I'm afraid that you're mistaken. They are indeed disabled veterans who were too excited and rash to tell performance from reality because the scene was so convincing. However, they are not from the federation; they are authentic soldiers from the Imperium."
Li Yao's smile froze. "What do you mean? Four authentic soldiers of the Imperium berated a bunch of young men of the federation in indignation who dressed up like soldiers of the Imperium's army and told the young men that they should know better than pretending to be the wretched soldiers of the Imperium?"
Ling Xiaole nodded. "Yes."


“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal, bloody, shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! 
“No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! 
“In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze and illuminate the whole world!”

Zhang Tie's memory returned to Hidden Dragon Island where he met Lv Shasha for the first time.
When he saw Lv Shasha for the first time, she was crying and said that she missed her home and her mother so much while Du Yuhan was comforting her.
In Zhang Tie's memory, Lv Shasha was always the most shy and sensitive one among his junior sister apprentices. As there was a bit misunderstanding between him and her, this bashful junior sister apprentice was even afraid of him for quite a long time. Although being together with a lot of junior sister apprentices, Lv Shasha still dared not see Zhang Tie face-to-face each time...
He met Lv Shasha and the other junior sister apprentices in Jinwu Castle of Hidden Dragon Island last time. At that time, he and his junior sister apprentices were all drunk. After performing a fist position and a swordsmanship and reciting a poem, Zhang Tie broke his double fish swords by battle qi as his "unique" gift to these junior sister apprentices...
From then on, Zhang Tie didn't use double swords anymore.
That night, he drank too much. In his memory, Lv Shasha, Du Yuhan and Qu Liangying were all drunk. Many junior sister apprentices even cried...
That was the most beautiful and memorable night.
That night was very special.
The ever youth, the passionate, innocent, nice and simple emotions, those which were described and undescribed all turned into merry laughter and tears. After that night, all these had vanished in the battle flames of the holy war. After that, Zhang Tie went to the Selnes Theater of Operations being far away from Hidden Dragon Island and didn't see these junior sister apprentices anymore...
A few years ago, when he returned to Youzhou Province, he heard that most of these junior sister apprentices had married others. Some of them like Guo Miaolu were still in hard-working cultivation as they wanted to further increase their battle strength...
Zhang Tie didn't bother those who had got married. As for those who were still in hard-working cultivation, Zhang Tie told Huaiyuan Palace to look after them stealthily. Zhang Tie didn't go to see them either. Something had better be buried deep in mind.
It was really out of his imagination that Zhang Tie could meet a junior sister apprentice in a bookstore of Xuantian City after many years later.
Lv Shasha was still as beautiful as before; however, she was more mature. The former innocent maiden had already become a young lady although she was still as reserved as before. That little boy's eyes and face was very similar to that of Lv Shasha. At the sight of the little boy, Zhang Tie knew that he's Lv Shasha's son.
Zhang Tie became a bit absent-minded as he had mixed moods inside...
The reason that Lv Shasha gazed at Zhang Tie with her widely opened eyes was that she had not imagined that a tough man could be interested in the comic book Legend of Black Iron Hero; additionally, that large bamboo rain hat on Zhang Tie's head looked a bit weird.
'Is this man a lunatic?'
Before Zhang Tie withdrew his hand, Lv Shasha had already withdrawn her hand rapidly with a disgusted and terrified look. After that, she turned around and told her son, "Xiaozhi, let's take a look in other bookstore!"
When Lv Shasha said this, she pulled her son back a bit stealthily in case of stirring up Zhang Tie.
"No, mom, I will read Legend of Black Iron Hero. We've been in many bookstores and they were all out of stock..."
"Hush!"
Zhang Tie revealed an embarrassed smile. As an earth knight, if the news that he quarreled with a little boy for a comic book in a bookstore was spread over, it would shock many people. Therefore, he took that comic book and gave it to that boy, "Here you go. I will read this version. I was just wondering that this novel had a comic book just now..."
As Zhang Tie said, he took the novel...
"Xiaozhi, say thanks to the uncle..."
"Thank you, uncle!" The boy called Zhang Tie in an innocent way when he received the comic book with a big smile.
"Ahh, you're welcome, you're welcome..."
Lv Shasha was still as reserved as before. Only after a brief dialogue with Zhang Tie, she had pulled her son away.
Zhang Tie was a bit thrilled. He wanted to say something; however, when he thought up his current status, he could only rub his face and see Lv Shasha off.
After dropping a gold coin, Zhang Tie took that novel and walked out of the bookstore.
Outside the bookstore, Lv Shasha and her son entered a black limo while a driver opened the door for them. At the sight of Zhang Tie coming out of the bookstore, the boy even waved his hand towards Zhang Tie.
'The origin of the license plate of the black limo is Xuantian City; it seems that Lv Shasha married someone in Xuantian City.'
A whim occurred to Zhang Tie's mind when a tracing feather shot out of his forehead and attached to the black limo.
The limo ran away leaving smoke...
Outside the bookstore, Zhang Tie skimmed over the novel. With his current spiritual energy, he could absolutely skim over 100 lines in one second. He could read one page and keep it deep in his mind as fast as taking a photo.
The main character of the novel was him. The story started from Blackhot City. The contents and framework of the novel were mainly based on his article "The Inscriptions on the Gravestone of the Despicable". Of course, there were artistic creations, processing and modifications.
After turning over 20 pages, Zhang Tie noticed a plot which he had not experienced——It was already dark when Zhang Tie finished his part-time job and was going back home. Suddenly, Zhang Tie saw a poor beggar lying on the roadside nearby the railway station of Blackhot City due to hunger. Out of sympathy, the kind youth bought a loaf of bread for the beggar from the nearby bakery. He had not imagined that the beggar was a powerhouse who just traveled across the human world with a cynical mind. After having the loaf of bread gifted by the youth, the beggar gifted a secret method to the youth and taught him how to use the unique secret disguising method. As a result, the youth immediately mastered the senior skills to change his looks...
When Zhang Tie read this plot, he could almost confirm it right away that the contents in this novel were not fully written by Mr. Jingan. This plot could only be fabricated by Donder because Zhang Tie's disguising skills were taught by Donder. Besides Donder, nobody else knew it; neither did Zhang Tie say it to others.
As an evidence, the image of Hua Boss Tang of a grocery in the novel was too excellent, he was handsome, generous and wise. In the novel, Boss Tang could be the model of all the middle-aged men. According to the description, Boss Tang was absolutely a philosopher who enjoyed the average life and the beacon light and first teacher of Zhan Tie. Damn! What made Zhang Tie speechless was that Boss Tang was not horny at all, 'A female boss in Blackhot City even courted him by spending money on him, f*ck...'
The plots about Zhang Tie at home were not fully fabricated out of the void, because only Zhang Tie's elder brother knew some details.
Zhang Tie understood it at once, 'It must be my elder brother and Donder who joined hands to clarify my innocence using Legend of Black Iron Hero.'
'It's definitely an unprecedented masterpiece for beautifying my personal image. All the storytellers across Taixia Country have become my pluggers. As long as I paid them some money, I would have numerous fans and adorers in Taixia Country. If the Supreme Court in Taixia Country doesn't cancel off my arrest order, Taixia government will lose many people's support and have to bear too much stress and condemnation.
The Legend of Black Iron Hero and the Inscriptions on the Gravestone of the Despicable once being coordinated with each other would resist numerous soldiers for Zhang Clan and Huaiyuan Palace.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that he could be as hot as the sun at high noon across Taixia Country after becoming a murderer.
'You must be kidding me.'
Although it looked ridiculous, it was real.
Over the past 4 years, although Zhang Tie was not at home and didn't even contact his family members, his family members and friends were always on his side. They were trying their best to clarify his innocence so that he could return to the public.
On the roadside, Zhang Tie spent less than 10 minutes in reading the entire story, regardless of the amazed looks of the passers-by.
The end of the story was about the merciless situation. After fighting hundreds of millions of demonized puppets to the end in Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie came to Taixia Country. After being outstanding in the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Zhang Taixuan and inflicting the Heavens Reaching Church, he was framed by demons and Heavens Reaching Church. Although he survived the trap with his own ability, he had to escape everywhere with the fabricated crime as a touching, tragical hero...
Such an end was very outraged. However, in the spirit of law worshiped by Taixia Country, the order of arrest issued by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country was irrevocable. Therefore, the end of this story tested the result of the wrestle between conscience and the spirit of the law in Taixia Country. Whether did you believe that the hero was still the hero or the dubious evidence was still effective?
After putting this novel which was of special meaning to him into his coat and sensing the current location of that limo, Zhang Tie strode towards the direction where the limo was leaving for...
...
Over 10 minutes later, Zhang Tie came to a tranquil and spacious avenue in the south of Xuantian City. After throwing some glances at the signboard "Sun Mansion", Zhang Tie strode away before arousing the attention of the guards.
It should be a major clan in Xuantian City. The small limo was right in the courtyard of Sun Mansion.
"Many people from all walks of life come to Xuantian city lately, as a young madam and young master have just come back from outside, you'd better be vigilant in case of any followers..."
"Yes, sir, Steward Sun. It's said that master wants the young master to learn from Fire Dragon Hermit. Young master is wise, he will definitely be enrolled..."
"Such a major event has nothing to do with you. Watch out your mouth..." Steward Sun reproached a guard...
Although it was over 100 m away, the dialogue between some people at the gate of Sun Mansion still drifted into Zhang Tie's ears...
...
After hearing this, Zhang Tie felt a bit weird as he returned to his foothold in Xuantian City...


After the Catastrophe, every rule in the world was rewritten.
In the Age of Black Iron, steel, iron, steam engines and fighting force became the crux in which human beings depended on to survive.
A commoner boy by the name Zhang Tie was selected by the gods of fortune and was gifted a small tree which could constantly produce various marvelous fruits. At the same time, Zhang Tie was thrown into the flames of war, a three-hundred-year war between humans and demons on the vacant continent. Using crystals to tap into the potentials of the human body, one must cultivate to become stronger.

<This story is written in English>

A tale of a legendary hero from the prophecy of Liberia 2000 years ago.

An ordinary highschool boy mysteriously finds himself in a forest in another world.

With no knowledge of going back home he is forced to stay and fight the forces of evil to save the world.

Shadow Dragon of Death : ....
Sacred Flaming Fenghuang : ....
Me : ....

"So you are a reincarnated too?" they asked at a same time.
"Yes, but I am a bit different from both of you!' I said while smiling.
"Hmm. How is it different ?" asked the dragon.
"Well, you guys are reincarnated from the past, but I am reincarnated from the future." I said.
"Hmm... The future eh ? So, how will this world be 10.000 years later ?" asked the Fenghuang with a ridiculing tone.
 "I am sorry, but I indeed know the future of this world, but only to a certain extent because I am from another world." I said while heaving a sigh.
"Different world ?" the Fenghuang and the Dragon said as their eyes are filled with both interest and suspicion.
"Yes. I come from another world and I am blessed with some of my previous knowledge of this world, because in my previous world, there is a legend about this world, but sadly the legend is incomplete." I said while heaving a sigh as I recall my previous life where Tales of Demons and Gods is being updated once a month 😭.
"Updated ? What do you mean by updated once a month ?" they asked as their brow twitches.
"Ah.. Update means that the continuation of the legend, since in my previous world, there are special team whose job is to decipher ancient writing and then tell the world about it. And please don't read someone's mind without asking." I said as I forced a smile.
"Hmm. it is really hard to believe that you are reincarnated, since a reincarnated being s usually have a small fragment of their memory or a shard at most, but you still have all of your memory." the dragon said in astonishment.
"Well, what can I say. Since before I come into this world, my life is like an endless cycle of boredom. Maybe that is why I don't think that I have lost any of my memory. Or I only have memory of the novel I read ?" I said
" Novel? What is that?" asked the Fenghuang
"Geh.. It is a book that record any events in another worlds."I answered as I think quickly.
"So how many world events that your world has recorded?" the dragon asked.
"Well. If I answer that, it will be a long story. So I will let you read those novels from my memory if both of you agree to integrate with me and help me till my death." I said while looking at both of them.
"*roar. Hahaha.... then I shall gladly accept your condition." the dragon laughed
"*chuckle. Alright. I shall let myself integrate with you and protect you for your lifetime." the Fenghuang said.
"Now then, before integrating, I want to ask 4 questions. Is that okay ?"I asked.
" No. two only!" they answered together.
"Alright then." I said as I smiled.
"First, How should I address both of you. and the second is what do you remember about your past."I asked.
" Well, I will start first" said the dragon.
"Well, as you know, I am The Shadow Dragon of Death. As for my name, I prefer if you could call me YinLong. The thing that I remember in the past is I am a beast that serves someone who sealed the space and time of this world, fighting against 6 humans along with the other beasts that serves that man? or beast perhaps?" YinLong said as he tried to remember his past.
"*chuckle. Then it is my turn right? I am The Sacred Flaming Fenghuang. As for my name.. Hmm.. maybe you can call me FengDaJie (Sister Feng basically). As for my past memory, I remember that I am fighting against a hooded being with his beasts along with my 6 masters. I do remember seeing that dragon, but I don't wish to fight him since we have already argued for 5,000 years and got bored, so we let the matter go and be friend." FengDaJie said while smiling.
"W...Wh..Who is your friend you stupid bird!" the dragon said as he blushes.
"Hmm. So YinLong is a chaos member that serves the Sage Emperor while FengDaJie is an order member that serves the 6 ancestral hero that fought against the Sage Emperor eh." I said as I looked to the 'sky' and pondered. 'Well they fit the condition of my Supreme Overseer Cultivation Technique, since one is the force of chaos while the other one is the force if order.' I thought as I smiled.
"Hrmm.. Supreme Overseer Technique? Which sect have that overbearing technique? From the name, it really is a kind of narrow minded person who created this technique!" said the dragon.
"Well sorry for being a narrow minded person" I said as I forced a smile and veins appeared in my head.
"Hmph, but narrow minded aside, this technique really is a spectacular technique which let you integrate with two demon spirits together, but it seems that it only have affinity with holy and chaos? No probably Light and dark also have affinity with this technique, and looks like it also let the cultivator fuse demon spirits into their own or with other demon spirit to create a mutated? No, since it is made, it should be an artificial mutation then!" YinLong added to reduce my anger.
"Wha..." I can only gasps in a amazement since he knows what this cultivation technique can do.
"*chuckle. Looks like our master this time is an amazing human ❤️." said FengDaJie 
"Who said I wanted him to be my master?" YinLong said.
"Well then I shall have him for myself then ❤️" said FengDaJie.
Well, they keep arguing for a whole hours before agreeing to integrate with me.

Before integrating, I asked for their blood and made win-win contract inscription. The agreement is as they are inside me, they will grow and be nourished by me, they have access ONLY to my novel memories and they will be free after my death, as for me, they will protect me and help me with any problems I encounter. After the contract is done, I integrated with both of them at the same time.

Yuuji is an ordinary Japanese college student who likes reading novels, be it light novels, wuxia novels, xianxia novels, sci-fi and more. But, on one fateful day, he was bumped and fell on the road resulting him being squished and grinded to death by motorcycles. When he is on a dark dimension, he noticed that he is being shaken and there is someone calling him..

Three days later.
Seiji finished his vacation… er, his recovery and left the hospital. After returning home with Shika, he went out again before long. They headed to the bookstore together.
They immediately headed for the light novel section and soon found what they were looking for...
"Brother Monogatari"!
The cover art seemed both romantic and mystical. A beautiful black-haired girl who wore mystical attire in the Sakura Island style was holding a vicious demon's mask in her hand and turning back and smiling brilliantly at the readers. Her scarlet eyes seemed especially beautiful, as if they were shining and possessed something mysterious within.
Standing in front of her was a white-haired boy who wore a collared jacket. He was sticking both his hands in his pants' pockets, and he was also turning to look behind him. Only half of his handsome face and sharp gaze could be seen. It appeared like he was either looking at something behind him or gazing at the girl.
The cover art seemed professionally done and was quite appealing. The art was of obviously higher quality than the other light novels next to it in the new arrivals area. Any layman could tell the difference.
Seiji was quite excited as he reached out and took a copy.
Shika also picked up a copy of "Brother Monogatari". Something flashed in her eyes as she looked at the cover.
Then, both of them exchanged glances with each other and smiled. Their smiles contained the feeling of bliss.
Another customer in the bookstore, a man wearing a round hat, paused in surprise upon seeing such a scene. He felt like this was just like a scene straight out of a movie.
'Who are these kids? This handsome boy and beautiful girl, are they idols or models?'
His attention drawn to them, he wondered about their identities. His gaze was then drawn to the light novel they had both picked up a copy of.
"Brother Monogatari"… this seemed like a strange book title to him.
The cover art was quite beautiful… and he felt that the beautiful girl drawn on the cover greatly resembled this girl in front of him?
The man was quite surprised at this resemblance.
He hid his emotions and picked up a copy of "Brother Monogatari" as well. He began to read the story.
He was instantly drawn into the story right from the very start.
This novel had a unique style and excellent readability. Reading it would naturally cause the reader to be able to imagine what was happening, as if the reader was watching an exquisitely drawn anime!
The insert art's quality was quite high as well. It beautifully complemented the story's contents, helping the readers insert themselves into the story's world.
The man unknowingly lost himself in reading the story. He got addicted to reading and didn't even notice that the handsome boy and beautiful girl had left long ago.
"Dear customer, please don't stand here reading for too long," a bookstore employee spoke to him, but the round-hat-wearing man didn't even notice.
"Dear customer!" The book store employee increased his voice's volume.
The round-hat-wearing man was furious to have been interrupted while reading. When he turned to see that it was a book store employee, his anger dissipated, replaced by embarrassment.
"I apologize…" He closed the "Brother Monogatari" book. "I'd like to purchase this light novel."
"Thank you for your purchase." After ringing the man's purchase up, the employee gave him a glare of "don't just read books without purchasing them" before leaving him alone.
The round-hat-wearing man looked around him but didn't see the boy and girl anywhere.
"'Brother Monogatari'… Idle Dimension by the Shore…"
He looked at the book in his hands and muttered the author's name to himself as he left the bookstore.
Seiji and Shika both purchased three copies each of "Brother Monogatari's" first volume. One copy would be for personal reading, one for collecting, and one for loaning out to friends.
They were both quite confident in the quality of their own light novel. Still, it remained to be seen how well the book would sell.
Seiji received a phone call some time after he returned home.
The call was from Hisashi.
"Seigo, are you out of the hospital yet?"
"Yes, I've left already."
"That's good, then." Hisashi paused for a moment. "This humble one has already purchased and started reading a copy of Milord's novel that was published today."
"What did you think?"
"It's excellent, as expected of something personally written by Milord!" Hisashi gave him passionate praise. "I would really like to finish reading it in one go. It's such a pity that I have other things to do today. I can only wait until I have some free time. Just the part that I've read so far makes me believe that this will become a famous bestseller! Many people will become Milord's fervent believers in the future!"
"Thanks for your kind words. It would be nice if that really came true." Seiji smiled.
"Of course it will come true! Milord's light shall illuminate the world!"
"No need to exaggerate things so much. This is only a light novel."
"No, this isn't merely a light novel, it's the beginning to Milord's legend! As the First Knight under your command, I'm quite honored to follow your cause. I shall support you to my fullest!" Hisashi spoke quite seriously.
"Thank you for your support. We are quite lucky to have such a loyal retainer like you." Seiji chuckled and responded using the royal pronoun "we".
Seiji treated all of this as a joke. He didn't actually understand the true meaning of Hisashi's "full support".
After they ended their conversation, Hisashi placed his cell phone on his computer desk and contacted someone on the internet.
"What is it, Sweet Pig-dono?"
"I would like for you to help me advertise a light novel that was just published today, Tea Brewer-kun. You can charge me as much as you think is necessary."
"What a joke, how could I possibly charge Sweet Pig-dono any money? You merely have to ask. What's the name of the light novel you want to help advertise for?"
"'Brother Monogatari'. It's a new story published by Thunderbolt Literature."
Hisashi then contacted various other online contacts and had similar conversations with them.
He then adjusted his eyeglasses and smiled satisfactorily as he gazed at all the numerous conversation windows on his computer screen.
"My 'support' doesn't mean that I'll simply buy a few of your books, Seiji-kun."
Later that night, Mika, Chiaki, and Kaede all arrived at Seiji's apartment. All three had a copy of "Brother Monogatari" with them. They all sat down by the kotatsu and started reading together as if this place was hosting a book club.
Seiji read "Brother Monogatari" together with them as well. Although he was intimately familiar with the story, he still wanted to read it again.
He kept receiving phone calls or text messages from all his friends. They all wanted to tell him their opinions of "Brother Monogatari".
"Excellent story. The insert art is beautiful as well. Overall, you've done a great job, Shore-sensei." — from Natsuya.
"Your story that you wrote together with Kagura-san seems pretty good. I give you 9.5 points out of 10." — from Mai.
"This is a wonderful story! I really like the main character; I think he's quite similar to Senpai." — from Hoshi.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. I recalled when you first showed your story to me a while back… Heh heh, I was your first reader ever." — from Rika Amami.
"Your novel is even better than I imagined, and you even did all the art for it as well! It's truly amazing… I'm feeling a little like I can't compare as an artist." — from Yukari.
"Your novel was excellent. It helped to give us inspiration for writing new music." — from Rion and Kotomi.
"Nice story. The insert art was great as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing if you'll draw manga in the future." — from Mayuzumi.
"The current reaction seems to be quite good. The sales numbers should be pretty good as well." — from Saki.
"It feels just like I'm watching an anime with how detailed your scenes' descriptions are. This is the best light novel I've ever read." — from Kaho.
"'Brother Monogatari' is amazing! I can't even put it down! I'm not going to go to sleep tonight until I finish reading!" — from Kanna Fujihara.
"Your novel is quite something. I can feel your spirit within it." — from Ryuuno Izawa.
Apart from his friends, Seiji also received messages from his fellow authors.
"Although I already knew that your light novel is the true deserving recipient of the Gold Award from the previous award ceremony, your story still exceeded my expectations when I read it. I can only admit defeat." — from Koushi Nomura.
"'Brother Monogatari' is excellent. It's so good that I don't want it to end." — from Miyabi Ishihara.
"Just as Nomura-san said before, your story is truly amazing. I'm astonished that you even personally drew such beautiful artwork for your story. Or was that your adopted younger sister's artwork? At any rate, it's a truly wonderful story. Most ordinary light novels can't even compare." — from Yuuko Hashimoto.
"'Brother Monogatari' is a wonderful story. Your writing and artwork are both top level. You're a true genius." — from Shousei Maishi.
"I really enjoyed reading 'Brother Monogatari'. Good luck on becoming a bestseller." — from Imai Yoshida.
"Even the main character of a novel that a handsome guy like you writes is also a handsome guy. Sheesh. It's also quite enraging how interesting you've managed to make your story. The insert art you did is ridiculously beautiful as well. It's certain to become a bestseller… remember to invite me to a barbeque after you receive your paycheck! It's best if you can bring your cute sister Kagura-san together as well." — from Tsuyoshi Matsutani.
Seiji was delighted to receive so many excellent reviews and well wishes.
Seiji looked towards Shika who was next to him.
Shika looked at him as well.
The two adopted siblings exchanged glances and smiled blissfully yet again.
