Old Moon had always had a dream: to charge onto the monthly rankings!
Mage had a dream too—to charge onto the monthly rankings as well!
Now, Mage had been with everyone for a year. Perhaps it would end within the next month or two, and Old Moon always felt somewhat unwilling to let it go.
Mage novels had now declined completely. But who knew that, when online literature was just beginning to rise, fantasy novels had once flourished so magnificently?
The first webnovel Old Moon ever read was Third Young Master's Child of Light. Back then, he frantically searched for Mage novels. Now, Mage novels—or fantasy novels—had basically fallen into a category as neglected as wuxia. Yet once upon a time, Mage novels had been just that glorious and prosperous...
What Old Moon wrote was not orthodox fantasy, because orthodox fantasy had basically become a fringe genre. Mage had taken some unusual paths to reach where it was today, gathering quite a number of readers, and Old Moon felt a great sense of accomplishment!
The first reward, the first Alliance Leader, the first monthly ticket... Old Moon had been excited by them all, moved by them all. During Old Moon's hardest times—when he was sick, when he was stuck in a prolonged slump—what he received instead were the blessings and understanding of so many readers. Back then, Old Moon was deeply moved.

They were all students without much money, yet Old Moon was deeply moved! Because they were Old Moon's readers. Mage was what had brought everyone together; Mage was what had let everyone become friends and get to know one another.
