Afterword

1,409 words 5 min read 1 view 1mo ago Source

This book has come to an end, which is fitting, as it's largely as I envisioned. However, many parts weren't elaborated upon, so I'd like to say a few more words about them here. 💔♜ 🍔🔥

The original intention of writing this book was to leave a memento of my favorite game and to bring some joy to brothers who like the lore of League of Legends.

The reason for choosing the first-person perspective is that some fan works I've read before, such as the parody-style "Sentinel's Diary" and the comedy-style "La La La Demacia," are both written in the first person.

Since not many people watch it or discuss it, it's all based on my own ideas. Please forgive me if there's anything I'm unhappy about.

Let's talk about some plot points that haven't been fully explored yet.

1. The Colosseum.

The gladiator storyline originally included many details depicting Zhao Xin's transformation from an ordinary person into a bloodthirsty warrior, but these were removed due to the need to advance the plot earlier. Also, it would be inconvenient to write something too gory, as it would likely be censored or even banned.

2. Strength Speed Shadow Precision.

These five people originally had their own side stories, but later they didn't want to write them anymore. They were basically about the strange and wonderful people that Tam helped during his travels.

3. Tam.

Tam's side story revolves around the conflict between spirits and humans. His initial intention in opening the arena was to watch humans fight each other, but this gradually changed after he met Darius, and was later completely changed by Zhao Xin and Yasuo.

4. The Merfolk.

Chapter 24, the sea adventure, was originally intended to be about Nami. The beautiful mermaid is betrayed by the crew and then begins to take revenge on humans, which is basically a conflict between spirits and humans.

5. The Fountain of Youth Buck and the Ram Baloo.

Buck was a barbarian born in Ionia, possessing immortal blood, which is why he did not die immediately after suffering a fatal wound;

The crystal within Ram Balu's body is a corrupted Rune Fragment; this power makes him volatile yet immortal.

Buck, carrying Baloo's horns, went to find Hris and Gragas but failed. Later, guided by Anivia, he became Braum, the protector of the Poro.

6. Lux and the Witt couple.

In the initial concept, Witt died to protect Lux, which inspired Lux's magical talent and helped her defeat Sylas. However, the idea was later abandoned because the House of Dali was considered too tragic.

7. Antiquit.

Antiquit is the Will of the Yordles, and all Yordle are part of his character; he can be understood as being at the level of a true god.

8. Drown everything in the Laos River.

The Laos River was a barrier created by the great sorcerer Morello using fragments of the Death Rune, intended to prevent the barbaric tribes of the far north from invading the south.

9. Charming Women.

The Charming Women can give people "a certain feeling" through illusions, but I didn't dare to write such explicit content for fear of being censored.

10. The Wolf King.

The Wolf King did not die; he was reborn in another body. After Uncle Wolf's death Ashe and Tryndamere's child became the new Wolf King.

11. Gangplank and Sarah.

I originally planned to write about the feud between these two people in detail, but I gave up on it later, and the battle for naval supremacy was directly cut short.

12. Hailan and her siblings.

The two siblings from the Hailan Family were a bit redundant. In fact, they were initially planned to use them as tools to seal the void, but it felt too cruel, so they gave up on that idea.

13. Quinn.

Quinn appeared relatively early and was originally intended to have a lot of screen time because her lines and appearance were very distinctive. However, after some cuts and revisions in the early stages, she deviated somewhat from the main storyline and was hastily removed from the story. She only reappeared when the Vastaya rose to prominence.

14. Jinx.

Jinx is a popular character, and I wrote quite a bit about her in the early episodes. I originally planned to write about her in the Vastaya story, but much of the content overlapped with Jorba's memories, so I gave up on that idea.

The rest is quite detailed, with nothing cut out. Below, I'll discuss a few key figures.

1. Ryze.

Ryze is also a transmigrator from Earth who has fought against the Void several times, but all his attempts ended in failure.

He hated the Void Lord' arbitrary killing and life-or-death actions based on their own will, and he hated the gods' shortsightedness and arrogance. After several attempts, he decided to unite the power of the entire Runeterra to destroy them, and thus he orchestrated everything behind the scenes.

His ultimate goal in launching the war was to lure out the Void Lord, causing him and many other powerful beings to perish together, so that Runeterra could become a home where humanity could rule itself.

2. Evelynn.

She's a character who appears throughout the entire storyline, and she's basically responsible for triggering all the major disasters, although she's just Ryze's errand girl.

Evelynn was among the earliest beings born in the Void, the daughter of the Void Lord, and supported Ryze's idea of destroying the Void.

3. LeBlanc and the Sage Tabor.

An elderly couple, both former servants of Mordekaiser, were rescued by Ryze, breaking their Master-Servant Contract and becoming his servants. The prophecy of the Sage Tabor was all orchestrated by Ryze.

4. Riven.

Riven is Gu Yang's daughter, the bloodline he left behind in Runeterra, and is born with the ability to control the wind.

There is no obvious romantic subplot in this book; whether it's Fiora and Riven at the beginning or Sivir later on, it's all for the sake of the plot.

However, her story may not be over yet...

5. Aatrox.

To be honest, Aatrox was the character I most wanted to write about. He was indispensable in the epic tale of the Celestial Warrior and the Vastaya. However, I never wrote a side story about him until the very end because I valued him so much that I didn't know how to begin.

His fate was to venture into the void rift in search of the truth; as for what he found, only he himself knows.

6. Shetaka.

Shetaka is also important as Aatrox's companion. She was killed by Void Creatures during the Battle of Icathia, but was later resurrected by Ryze and became his companion.

I'll add the story of Aatrox and Shetaka later when I have time.

7. Void Lord.

The Void Lord is the creator of Runeterra, the god of gods, and the World Rune are the essence of power he created to maintain the balance of Runeterra.

Finally, let's talk about the ending.

The protagonist was killed by the Void Lord in the Void War. After waking up, he transformed from Yasuo into Ezreal and inexplicably became the savior worshipped in various places. The specific reason was not explained at the time, but I will explain it here.

The protagonist travels back and forth to bring about unity in various places, relying not on fortuitous encounters or luck, but on a "united body".

The invisible aura emanating from this constitution made him highly trusted, eventually influencing leaders in various regions, but only Ryze discovered the truth.

In the final battle, Ryze obtained all seven World Rune but was unable to fuse them. With no other options, he refined all the runes into the protagonist's body, using his physique to accomplish an unprecedented feat and ultimately kill the Void Lord.

After fusing with the runes, the protagonist was unconsciously reborn. In the end, he used the very power created by the Void Lord to defeat him, which is why he is revered by the people.

In reality, the one who truly defeated the Void Lord was Ryze.

Alright, that's all for now. Wishing all my fellow gamers a smooth and worry-free life.
