You asked for healing, but wrote Honkai Impact 3rd?

"Empathy is one of humanity's most noble traits, but for him, at this moment, it was a mistake."

For Kevin, this might be a regret he would need to carry in his heart for the rest of his life.

"This incident, with his hesitation and weakness, was forever etched into Kevin's memory."

This was the most direct spiritual growth in Kevin's experience.

At this moment, the theme of regret began to take shape in Su Nian's narrative.

If one were to step into Kevin's perspective, regret was like a bottomless sea whose surface never remained calm.

Why did he hesitate... because of kindness, because of a Herrscher's humanity.

But his kindness led to a great disaster.

If an ordinary person had gone through the same process as Kevin, they might have broken down before even facing the End.

The cost of growth was immense, so immense that Kevin remembered this experience for his entire life.

[Bad atmosphere! Dumb kid, why run? Just freeze up!]

[This kind of heavy growth, no thanks!]

[Haha, lucky I'm blind, I can't see this]

[No worries, I'm a kind soul, I'll read it to you]

[So this is how regret is written? That's incredible]

Su Nian's writing style and setup were unique among all the contestants.

Looking through them all, none of the other 63 contestants had a plan that was even remotely similar.

They had many kinds of regret, but none of them thought to write about someone with great love, a savior who aimed to protect humanity, striving for the world and everything in it.

Only Su Nian's protagonist would feel regret and remorse over people who had nothing to do with him.

Because he once had the chance to protect those people, but he missed it, and he grieved over it.

This was vision.

Exquisite, truly exquisite.

The character of the protagonist Kevin was instantly established, and from then on, he shed his earlier immaturity, completing his identity transformation.

Otto savored this passage carefully. Just a few lines, but the merits were clear.

"This segment completes Kevin's character transformation, starting from an ordinary student, joining the Moth of the Fire to become a soldier, then standing out to become an elite."

"Now he's moving toward 'salvation.' The time span is a bit large, but the logic is clear. The protagonist has ability and also possesses personal charisma."

Salvation was a very heavy word.

A savior was someone who, amidst pressure, pain, and despair, would still make choices and carry the burden forward.

Otto firmly believed that Kevin was absolutely worthy of this title.

No, it wasn't just Otto who thought so.

At first, there were just one or two claps from the stadium audience, drowned out by their chatter.

Then more and more followed, the applause slowly growing louder than the voices.

Until the voices faded away, and only applause remained in the venue.

The scene was incredibly moving, even more passionate than when Kevin had led the applause.

A good story, a good environment, Otto's guidance, and a sense of admiration that infected one person after another.

This was spontaneous from the audience, with no one organizing it.

This was applause for the Hero Kevin, and also a gift for Su Nian.

Chapter 10: The ending of the story must be happy and perfect.

This story resonated strongly with everyone.

Earlier, the screenshots of the passage Su Nian wrote about the life of Kevin the Savior, along with the name Su Nian, spread wildly across various websites and platforms.

The one who bore everything, abandoned everything, the savior swept along by fate, bearing the Insignia of the Savior, the one who crossed the End...

These words gave the audience beautiful expectations. Kevin the Savior's future achievements would surely be extraordinary.

This story was bound to be magnificent!

But the audience had no idea that Kevin's ending would be somewhat different from what they predicted.

[Ah, I can't wait to read the main text. This word count is nowhere near enough!]

[I don't know, so I'll ask: can you just make an animation based on the outline? Show me that, show crew!]

[I remember the synopsis said 'Thirteen Heroes of Fire,' and only one has shown up. I'm already looking forward to the future!]

[The prototype of a masterpiece!]

[As expected of Su Nian. Might as well rename Shenzhou's literary scene to 'Su Nian and Other Writers']

[A true master is a master, even their rough ideas are beyond the reach of mere mortals like me]

Even viewers who weren't at the scene were praising it online, unleashing their enthusiasm.

Looking at the words Su Nian had written, Kevin was stunned. He read the passage over and over, his mind swirling with countless thoughts.

The description of "Savior Kevin" matched him exactly, and the experiences at Senba Academy were spot-on without a single error.

It even gave him the absurd notion that Su Nian had placed a camera on him.

What happened after the Honkai outbreak had nothing to do with him, yet these words held a strange, magical power.

Kevin merely looked at the text, and his mind wavered.

It was as if he truly saw it.

In a building in a bustling city, he aimed a heavy firearm at that Herrscher.

Everything unfolded as it did in the story—the Herrscher showed humanity, deceived him.

He failed to save the people of that city.

The entire city fell silent, its former prosperity gone without a trace.

He also saw someone who looked exactly like Elysia by his side, talking with him, urging him to keep this memory close to his heart.

At that moment, Kevin swore that from then on, he would never hesitate when facing a Herrscher.

After a brief daze, those images lingered in his mind. Kevin clutched his head in shock and uncertainty.

Was this really just words?

Was Su Nian's story truly just a simple creation?

Reading this story felt like he had lived through it himself, yet there was no Honkai in this world.

Doubt spread through Kevin's heart. He couldn't wait to see how Su Nian's story would continue.

According to what Su Nian had just said, the next part should enter the Seventh Honkai Outbreak.

Flame Chasers... Emperor-class Honkai Beast Parvati?

What kind of story would that be?

Staring intently at the big screen, Su Nian was still pondering the next part of the plot.

The Sixth Honkai Outbreak seemed to only cover Kevin's mental journey.

But the Previous Civilization's fight against Honkai was nowhere near as easy as Su Nian was writing it now.

Although the memory of Kevin in The Past's Paradise had once said that defeating Herrschers was no challenge for the Flame Chasers.

That was still based on the Kevin recorded at that time.

By then, Moth of the Fire already had Flame Chasers.

But not before the Seventh Honkai Outbreak.

Before this primary means of countering Honkai was born, Moth of the Fire paid a heavy price every time they fought a Herrscher.

In the battle against Honkai, humanity's forces had already lost half.

But in the upcoming Seventh Honkai Outbreak, the Herrscher born from it was unexpectedly powerful.

The Herrscher of Flames was Himiko, turned into a Herrscher by Honkai. Her destructive power far surpassed that of other Herrschers.

Around the same time, Mei also proposed the Flame Chaser project.

The Herrscher core was later made into Kevin's weapon, Tears of Heaven.

The advanced tech tree helped Kevin grow much stronger, but it also cost him dearly—the price was far too heavy.

Kevin was like a mountain climber. The path started wide, allowing several people to walk side by side.

They were still at that stage, but the road ahead would only grow narrower.

The Sixth Honkai Outbreak he had just written was the appetizer before the feast.

The main course of the feast hadn't been served yet.

Su Nian continued to write, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, crafting the story that followed.

But he didn't immediately write the Seventh Honkai Outbreak.

"Before the Seventh Honkai Outbreak, besides Kevin, there were others working hard in their own ways."

This was the setup. Although Kevin had the protagonist template, his growth followed a reasonably logical progression.

And there were other undercurrents stirring.

The Previous Civilization failed for many reasons, and Su Nian believed a large part of the problem lay within humanity itself.

The rotten Moth of the Fire was the largest organization fighting Honkai. Its high-ranking members, unable to stand Mei, sent assassins after her—the most foolish decision imaginable.

Then, out of fear, someone killed Ling, unleashing the power of the Herrscher of Erosion, which destroyed humanity's last three cities.

After the Herrscher of Erosion incident, human civilization existed in name only.

[Not long after the Sixth Honkai Outbreak ended, Mei proposed a new concept: the Flame Chaser project.]

[By fusing Honkai Beast genes with soldiers, they would create Flame Chasers with the abilities of Honkai Beasts, thereby countering the increasingly powerful Herrschers.]

[The proposals of the Flame Chaser project and the Divine Key project, combined with Mei's overly assertive style in daily affairs, ultimately stirred discontent among the upper echelons of the Moth of the Fire.]

[They secretly ordered the Poisoned Cocoon to dispatch an assassin to kill Mei.]

Seeing this, the once lively barrage instantly sensed something was off.

Who was Mei? She was the female lead arranged for Kevin, with extremely high scientific research capabilities—she should have been the role of a capable wife.

Now, with this plot direction...

Perhaps it was because Su Nian had "sacrificed" an entire city's population in the previous segment of the story.

The audience felt as if this narrative was about to make Kevin grow once more, any second now.

One after another, they speculated wildly in the barrage about what would happen next.

Because the story's plot had successfully hooked them, the discussion around the work had become extremely heated.

Seeing this, Welt spoke up to reassure the audience present.

"It shouldn't kill off the female lead. This plot is clearly a standard heroic development. I believe the final outcome will be happy, harmonious, and full of love."

"The current enemies, the Herrschers, have been slain through their efforts. Since the protagonist is a savior, I trust he can turn the tide no matter the circumstances."

Welt analyzed the plot with confidence.

If this story weren't the Previous Civilization, if it weren't born from a game series that began with "Honkai"...

Then perhaps it would truly unfold as he imagined.

Chapter 11: An Inexhaustible Treasure

If Su Nian had heard Welt's words, he would have flashed a brilliant smile, reassuring everyone about the story to come.

Until he saw their innocent smiles freeze on their faces.
