Raise Hell in a New World, Lin Yu

Putting myself in Otto's shoes, I think if he saw Kallen actually resurrected and living happily ever after, when there was no hope of completing his plan, he would absolutely die laughing.

In my opinion, this is simply a reward for Otto.

Damn it, this guy has done so many horrible things, how could I let him have such a good time before he dies?

As for the subsequent plot, we'll have to wait until the Finality chapter.

Because the serialization of this chapter was too slow, some people felt that Otto had the upper hand in the battle. However, if you look closely, you will find that every move Otto made afterward was a desperate move, a last-ditch effort to overturn the table.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu, Su, and Old Yang had prepared for a long time, so Otto's thrashing before he died was basically useless.

The losses were essentially zero; his Soul Steel Body was even recycled and used to make mass-produced Divine Throne weapons. For everyone...

Oh, I don't think anyone is unhappy except for Theresa.

[The Finality Transformation Chapter] Starting from Chapter 303, it consists of 42 chapters until the finale.

This chapter actually includes the Land of the Past chapter, but I feel that there's not much to say about the Land of the Past chapter, so let's not count it as a separate chapter.

As mentioned before, the Otto battle is actually the grand finale of the book.

After Otto died, all that was left was the ending of the story.

I skipped the Elysian Realm arc in the previous book because I felt there was no need to write it anymore. Writing it would just be padding the word count, so after Kevin Otto died, I prepared to wrap things up and create the finale.

The book was initially intended to follow the original story's narrative of [meeting Flame-Chasers's memory, forming a bond, obtaining the imprint, and dealing with the erosion].

However, during the process of preparing to write, I discovered something.

The combat power was too high. Once Lin Yu entered and Constraint Barrier, the opponent couldn't do anything to him, given that his own combat power was sufficient.

Forget it, let's just speedrun it then.

Although Ling has been won over, her inner conflict hasn't been resolved according to the plot, so let's take her along to resolve it together.

As for the large number of Shiro Cinan cosplayers in it, that was purely an accident.

To be honest, I think the Elysian Realm arc was poorly written, but so far it has an average of 3,700 subscriptions per chapter, which means at least 4,000 people have read it...

Why aren't people criticizing this? Is it because they don't have keyboards?

Furthermore, after the Elysian Realm arc ended, I had to confront a huge mistake.

In my plan, I should reveal the concept of True Fusion some time after the Pearl and Jade are released.

After all, in my opinion, this is a safety net, like "if you can't figure out how to solve the Finality, at least you have a solution."

As you all know, when I wrote the finale, I really couldn't think of any other way. I just relied on this as a safety net to finish the story normally.

But here's the problem.

My subconscious already knew the solution.

However, few people know just how powerful the True Fusion ability is.

That's why I only brought out this setting that had always existed but hadn't been mentioned before after the Elysian Realm arc. From the reader's perspective, it will definitely give people the feeling of "Ah, this guy definitely couldn't handle it, so he resorted to deus ex machina."

It was handled terribly, no doubt about it.

But still no one criticized it.

From this point in the story to the chapter before the finale, the average daily subscription count was around 3,000. Although it has decreased, it is still within a manageable range.

This makes me wonder—where are your keyboards?

No, doesn't anyone think there's anything wrong with these two plot points?

There's not much to say about the final ending; it was just a very ordinary conclusion.

In terms of atmosphere, the person who should have said goodbye last wasn't Rin, and there was no plan to include Bianca's storyline before going to the Imaginary Space.

But then I thought, if I don't write Bianca's storyline now, I won't have another chance later [at that time, I hadn't planned out so many artillery battles in the epilogue], so I put her in the finale.

Additionally, if anyone knows where the title of the chapter before the finale comes from, they might be able to detect a slight bias.

"Waltz of the Night" is a background music track from the game "Devil's Castle: The Mark of the Lost".

Oh, so the three Lord's Imprint on Lin Yu's body originated from here.

This is the background music played during the true ending. In reality, at this point, the female protagonist has successfully defeated the powerful enemy and is preparing to pay the price of the Lord's Imprint [a soul].

Although the male protagonist's body was long gone, his soul was attached to the female protagonist, whom he regarded as his sister. In the end, he used his own soul to pay the price of the Lord's Imprint his sister, and passed away after seeing his sister smile through her tears.

In the storyline, although Bianca has feelings for Lin Yu, she has never shown them [in her own eyes].

When she expresses her true feelings for Lin Yu, she usually addresses him as "Brother Lin Yu." In my opinion, this suggests that she sees Lin Yu as an older brother without blood ties.

So after I finished writing this part of the story, I felt that I had to use "Waltz of the Night" as the title of this chapter.

After finishing this chapter, it was already dawn and I couldn't sleep, so I randomly searched for "Waltz of the Night" and found a song called "Moonlit Waltz" that was only one word different from the title. I found that the lyrics unexpectedly fit the plot, which was a pleasant surprise.

There's not much to say about the ending; oh, I've already said that.

Actually, I had the plot in mind from the very beginning, but I definitely didn't expect the filler parts to turn out this way.

Finally, regarding Lin Yu's attitude towards the Cocoon of Finality, I thought about it and decided to add that sentence.

"If I have to choose the side with less risk, then I have no choice but to agree with you and embrace you from the bottom of my heart."

"Do you think I—my ass—would choose to sympathize with an enemy who killed my parents?!"

"Revenge! Revenge! Revenge! Cocoon of Finality, whatever your original intentions and operating mechanisms may have been, the fact that you harmed my family can never be changed!"

For Lin Yu, this was the most dangerous time, but also the most exhilarating.

Having the chance to successfully complete his final revenge would be incredibly satisfying for a vengeful spirit.

The title, "Happy Birthday on the Battlefield," comes from the first chapter of the text-based game in Guilty Crown.

I've been remembering it wrong for the past ten years. When I was almost at the end of the story, I went back and saw that they meant "Merry Christmas on the battlefield," not "Happy Birthday."

That's embarrassing.

But since the atmosphere is right, let's stick to the original plan.

In conclusion, while the final chapter of the Finale arc Finality as I saw it, the plot in between was, to put it simply, quite good...

I can't bring myself to say this, it's really kind of you that everyone didn't criticize me.

[Postscript]

When I first started writing the epilogue, I just wanted to give an explanation to those who had harem tendencies but didn't manage to join the game. But as everyone has seen, the artilleryman Lin Yu is in position!

The plot was so outrageous that everyone was about to throw up watching it, and I was about to throw up writing it too.

However, I stubbornly felt that this was also a complete story with a beginning and an end, so I persevered and finished writing these plot points.

In my opinion, the most important parts of the epilogue are [Ji Ran's cameo appearance + providing information + giving out cheat codes], [Yuno resolving her inner conflict], and [the true ending].

Ji Ran's appearance was preordained before the finale, and let me see the title of the chapter where he appears: "The Invitation of the Mad Moon"...

The first chapter of the epilogue, "The Invitation of the Mad Moon," and the second chapter, "The Heir of Destiny," are respectively titled "Portrait of Ruin / Gallery of Labyrinth" from the Castlevania Series [the two are different titles of the same work] and the "Entrance Song" from "Sonata of the White Night" [referring to the first piece of music played after the protagonist enters Devil's Castle at the official start of the game].

In fact, some people did enter the city during this period.

Moreover, judging from the plots of these two original works, those who enter the city are undoubtedly heroes who save the world, and the Dracula's Power truly exists within Devil's Castle.

The only tiny, minor error that exists is...

The person who went in was actually a holder of Dracula's Power.

Of course, this meme is so obscure that even people who have played Devil's Castle probably wouldn't recognize it.

In addition to serving as titles for the Invitation of the Mad Moon" and "The Heir of Destiny," these songs also have their own corresponding meanings.

The Invitation of the Mad Moon refers to someone with the attributes of "madness" and "moon". In the world of Devil's Castle, this person most likely refers to the lord of Devil's Castle.

Logically speaking, Dracula did not invite Jonathan and Charlotte, the main characters of the gallery and heroes, to Devil's Castle's Castle. However, from the perspective of the heroes in the local worldview, the moment Devil's Castle appeared, it already indicated that the castle lord was 'inviting' them.

In the context of this work, Su observed something amiss in the world of the previous book [corresponding to the appearance of Devil's Castle], Ji Ran flew here using the Dimensional Connection System and the Thousand Worlds Annihilation [corresponding to the heroes arriving uninvited after discovering Devil's Castle].

Of course, the plot design is not only too obscure but also too subtle; even people who have played Devil's Castle probably wouldn't be able to spot it.

The Heir of Destiny are not bound by so many rules and regulations. On one hand, it refers to the destiny of being forced to become a vengeful ghost from Ji Ran to Lin Yu. On the other hand, it also refers to the vengeful ghost destiny of Lin Yu to Yuno.

Yuno originally had the opportunity to walk the right path, but Lin Yu, in order to help her recover quickly, led her astray [referring to self-destruction]. This also hints at the two people using the background music "The Heir of Destiny" [Zouster Belmont] and [Maxim Kissin]. While one of them walked the right path, the other walked the evil path [referring to Maxim's mistake in helping Zuster and surpassing Zuster, which prematurely created Devil's Castle] / [Yuno's desire for self-destruction after the war].

Something's not right; it feels like there are even more rules and regulations now.

Well, I don't expect anyone to see the deeper meaning behind this, so I'll just leave this explanation here.

While the true ending is, in my opinion, the most important part of the epilogue, there's really not much to say about it.

As mentioned before, [after the fierce battle with the powerful figure ended, the Herrscher of Constraint, having regained her memories, turned into starlight and completely vanished from the world under everyone's gaze.] I genuinely found this scene quite cool, but if a web novel were to write this as the ending, it would be absolutely toxic.

Whether for my career or considering how hard Lin Yu has worked, I feel I should give him a good ending in the end.

After some consideration, it seems like a good ending for the soldiers to get a good rest after finishing all their work.

He's not handsome enough, but in my eyes, heroes of great battles deserve this treatment.

Of course, considering Lin Yu's clumsy nature and his already pathological mentality of not wanting anyone around him to get hurt during a fight, I don't think Lin Yu will start just playing around and ignoring everything after the big battle ends.

Rather, I think he would definitely start a new path of dog-raising, so in the end, after the great war Lin Yu prepared a new job for himself - to make the world a better place.

Given sufficient technological and combat capabilities, as long as Lin Yu himself doesn't go mad, a better future for the world is inevitable.

In fact, during the seven years from the true ending to the Trailblaze Chapter, Lin Yu and the others had already solved most of the world's problems. The remaining few problems could be dealt with slowly, which is why he and Old Yang were able to confidently move on to the Trailblaze Chapter to continue...

Oh, help!

Although I came here to relax at first, being a curling dog, I immediately started curling up as usual.

The title, [L, change the world], refers to a side story novel in the Death Note.

Actually, I didn't finish watching it; I only know the general plot.

The title is also very simple; it's just the literal meaning: L [Lin Yu] change the world.

There's really nothing else to say about my feelings.

I don't know if this book will have a strong beginning, but it's definitely going to have a weak ending.

While a snake's tail is certainly better than having no tail at all, it's really not something to be praised for.

As for why this happened, when I finished writing the ending of this story, it was 1.9 million words long. It was the first time I had written such a long novel [for me, a standalone world view of nearly two million words is really a long novel].

I got really tired towards the end, and I'm even more tired now, so I didn't handle some details well, which led to a decline in the overall experience. I hope I can avoid that next time.

Trailblaze Chapter

Chapter 1. Let's cause chaos in the new world, Lin Yu!

Somewhere on Earth, inside Devil's Castle

Lin Yu, who had been working in Devil's Castle for several years, still looked the same as when he returned to Earth, but he had become more mature in his demeanor.

As for why only a few points have been awarded after so much time—it's simply because many troublesome people in this world, for various reasons, are no longer able to cause him any trouble.

The world becoming a better place is certainly a good thing for most people.

Whether they are ordinary citizens living in a large country or impoverished people living in a poor region, in the eyes of some ambitious individuals, they are ultimately just 'resources'.

When those who can be exploited live better lives, they naturally become less easily exploited. Under such circumstances, it's perfectly normal for some people to get desperate.

Unfortunately, Lin Yu's world is a superpowered world.

Although ambitious people are bound to emerge due to the expansion of human desires, under Lin Yu's control, these ambitious people who were just about to show their faces were dealt with by Lin Yu's people before they even had a chance to cause trouble.

Well, it can't even be called sending someone.

The Void Archive, possessing a variety of abilities, will arrive at anyone's doorstep immediately to offer assistance once it learns of who is plotting something.

This method of handling things is quite brutal from a third-party perspective, and if someone knew about these things, they might directly condemn Lin Yu as a tyrant.

But Lin Yu, who knew all too well that these stinking dogs were nothing good, or even worthless, would certainly not be lenient in this matter.

The world had finally become a better place without the invasion of the Honkai, and the celestial beings had all been dealt with by Lin Yu and Ji Ran, whom he had invited.

People all over the world are living good lives now. Anyone who tries to cause trouble will not only be an enemy of the people of the world, but also an enemy of Lin Yu.

Although everyone in the organization thought Lin Yu was a traitor, Lin Yu knew very well that the rumor was nothing but fabrication and slander!
