He picked it up wordlessly, examining it carefully and stroking it.
Then, night fell and the world became silent.
----------
[Ending achieved: The Trumpet of Revelation]
It will be released tomorrow~ As promised, I have written the ending of the first volume before it is released~ Congratulations~
First of all, thank you for reading this far~ Thank you very much~ [Clap your hands~]
I believe that by the end of this volume, everyone should be able to see that the key points of the first volume are [Zero Law's identity], [self-awareness of people], and [blood relationship] certified by Skadi. These things will run through the entire book... To be honest, when I was writing it, I didn't expect that the pressure of this volume would be so full. I'm sorry again. I'm climbing_(:з)∠)_
Let me talk about some things by the way. For example, the characters from other games that we mentioned at the beginning will be mixed in... In addition to Skadi, there are a few more~ However, their appearance will not be so early, and they will also be integrated into the plot with reasonable identities, which is equivalent to borrowing settings and appearances~
Regarding [Skadi], as a character that also runs through the whole book, she naturally also has a main scene in a volume, but it is with Snake, also known as Mebius, and very later. However, by that time... Skadi's identity may undergo some changes, such as... becoming [Ishamara]... or something like that?
Well... who knows~ After all, [Kaiji] didn't show up~ right~
Please rest assured that the content of the subsequent volumes will not be so (swear words). As for the length, I originally wanted to follow the order of [long-short-long-short], so that the seventh volume would be the end of the long volume. As a result, the pressure of the first volume was stretched out. I am really sorry and will adjust it later_(:з)∠)_
As for the ending of this volume, there are epilogues related to [Paradise of the Past] and [Current Civilization]~ This is at the end of each volume~ By the way, there are some settings that I made up~ You can just take a look at it for fun~
It’s just that there is only one chapter in the next few days, so I have to organize the outline of the next volume. Don’t worry, the process of the next volume will be much shorter~ The main characters involved are Aponia, or the people in [Twilight Street].
As for the heroine… ahem, although the ending I planned is a harem one, the one that has the biggest impact and changes the protagonist the most is Eden in volume 3~ the cover character~ (after all, she’s my favorite character~ it’s okay to be a little biased~)
If you ask why it's not Alicia... Alicia herself likes and loves [humans] and [people who love humans]. To be honest, it feels too difficult for her to "like" someone. It always feels weird when I write it... She can be partial to someone, but it's impossible for her to like someone - maybe that's the feeling?
In other words, Alicia here can only be a "friend" rather than a "lover", um... or a "loser"? Well~ I'm kidding~
Finally, thank you all for supporting me. Thank you all for pointing out my problems. Thank you very much. [Clap your hands and clap your hands~]
Please give me more advice later~
————【Event: Rain】————
tick-
The rain falls gently, bringing a slightly cool and damp feeling.
"Hmm? Will it rain again in the Land of the Past?"
Mei Raiden was a little surprised.
"Ah, please don't be surprised, Mei-san...it sometimes rains here."
Eden, who was sitting nearby, shook his wine glass, looked at the drizzling rain, and spoke softly.
"However, this is not an effect of simulating weather or something like that. It's just... something that someone here does regularly."
"someone?"
Leiden Meiyi frowned.
"Among the Yingjies I know, no one would do this... So, this is the last one left?"
"nature."
Eden spoke softly, his eyelids drooping slightly, his gaze fixed on his wine glass, as if he was recalling something.
"You can take this opportunity to get to know him... On rainy days, he will be in a slightly better mood. Of course, the test you will face will be much more difficult."
"If possible, don't call him [Ying Jie]... He himself doesn't like this name."
"Ah...if you are ready, you can ask Ai Li or Ying to take you to see him. Of course, Gray Shu can also take you there. Otherwise, something...unpleasant might happen between you two."
"It sounds like he's not an easy person to get along with?"
"No, on the contrary, once he accepts you, you will find that he is a very easy-going person, but he seems a little... awkward."
Eden smiled, as if he remembered something funny.
"Go meet him. As the most special of the [Visitors], you should go meet him. Besides... I'm sure Ai Li is looking forward to it too."
"I will."
Raiden Mei nodded in agreement
————[Event: A glimpse of the ocean (choose Alicia)]————
"Ah~ Meiyi, do you want to go see Wang? That's great~ I just wanted to tell you about this~"
Alicia said happily.
"After all, it's a rare rainy day, I have to go play with him~ hehe~"
"...Wang? Is that his name?"
"Yes~ But he wasn't originally called that, but something happened later..."
Alicia's mood was unusually low for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
"But I don't care about that now, so let's go, Mei~"
After saying that, Alicia pushed Raiden Mei forward.
It seems that Alicia is not very willing to talk about this matter - Raiden Mei thought so and temporarily suppressed the idea of asking further questions.
But as the two of them moved forward, Raiden Mei became a little confused again.
"Ailishiya... Is this the [Deepest Place]? Is that [Hero] here?"
"Yes~ Wang is here, but he is in a deeper place~ And I am very happy that you can call him [Yingjie]~"
"I heard from Eden that he doesn't like the name [Ying Jie]."
"Wang always likes to belittle himself~ But he really deserves the title of [Yingjie]~ Once you know everything about him~"
Alicia said this, then quickly walked forward to an "edge" blocked by shadows, turned around, and said with a smile.
"Okay~ This is the entrance~"
"here?"
Mei Raiden looked at the darkness below that was as deep as the abyss and was speechless for a moment.
"Yes~ Just like this~"
Alicia stepped forward, grabbed Mei Raiden's hand, and then jumped down with her.
The two of them fell rapidly, but after reaching a certain boundary, the sound of the wind that had been passing by their ears turned into a somewhat dull sound of falling into the water. The falling figures of the two people gradually slowed down, and finally landed steadily on the ground.
The dim and damp feeling instantly came over her, making Mei Raiden feel as if she had come to a cave submerged by the ocean... But Mei Raiden was no longer surprised, and she just followed Alicia forward silently.
"Hehe~Hehe~?"
Alicia hummed a tune briskly and walked briskly... She seemed very happy.
But soon, Mei Raiden noticed something unusual... She didn't know when it started, but every time Alicia hummed a tune, a few translucent bubbles would appear, as if she was already in the water.
"...Ellie... huh?!"
Just when Mei Raiden wanted to ask, she found that bubbles appeared when she spoke, as if she had walked into the "water" unknowingly... But there was clearly no water around, it was just a little damp at most.
"Ah, Mei, you've discovered it too, right~"
Alicia turned around and said with a smile.
"This is Wang's territory. Here you can think of yourself as being in the sea. So, please."
Alicia tapped her toes lightly and "swam" into the air in front of Raiden Mei so confidently.
"Even this kind of thing can be done~ Come and try it~?"
"........."
Mei Raiden was curious, so she also tapped her toes and tried to "swim" into the air in this waterless place... Surprisingly, it was not difficult and she did it easily. But the moment she "swimmed", Mei Raiden felt an inexplicable fear that made her hair stand on end, as if she was being stared at by something extremely terrifying, and she subconsciously took a alert posture.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm just observing your new friend. He's a little shy, but once you get familiar with him, he's pretty easy to get along with!"
"........."
To be honest, Mei Raiden was a little bit unconvinced. After all, the gaze staring at her was too terrifying and too abnormal... This kind of gaze, like that of a "predator" that wanted to eat her physically, really made her feel uncomfortable.
"...Aliceia, you shouldn't have brought her here."
After a while, from deeper inside, an inexplicable and somewhat sticky sound slowly flowed out and reached the ears of the two. Looking up, they could see a pair of golden, star-like pupils staring at them. Realizing this, Raiden Mei was even more prepared for a fight.
The inexplicable malice and anger emanating from the surroundings reminded her that it was a very scary [thing].
"Don't say that, Mei is a very special and cute girl~ You will definitely like her~"
But Alicia seemed not to notice all this. She just smiled and swam forward, came to his side, swam around him a few times, then patted him on the shoulder and said.
"Please don't be like this~ Or are you shy?"
"……Ugh."
A helpless sigh was heard, and the dim environment around was gradually illuminated by a faint blue light, giving people a unique beauty similar to that of the deep sea.
Looking up, you can see a man wearing a "hunter's suit" next to Alicia, holding a dark, slender, strange sword in his arms. His short white hair like waves is particularly eye-catching.
But what concerned Mei Raiden more was his pair of distracted, star-like golden pupils... This dying look made Mei Raiden stunned.
"Alicea, I should have said that you should not bring outsiders to my place. I do not welcome them, nor do I like them... and they will not like me either."
"If they come to me, they will only be [hunted], and then resist and fear entering the [Paradise] again... As for my [Mark], it is not so necessary, is it?"
"Don't say that~ Mei is a very special person~"
Alicia doesn't seem to be giving up.
"I know. She is a Herrscher."
Xi Wang closed his eyes and looked at the girl indifferently.
"same as me."
"...?!"
Mei Raiden was really surprised this time. In the Paradise of the Past... there was actually a Herrscher? And a Hero?
"Oh, that's right~ So if it's Mei, she would have a lot to talk to you about, right? And if it's her, maybe she can also bear your [Mark]?"
"........."
"Please, just give her a chance for my sake. How about that?"
“…There’s only one chance.”
"Great! I knew you liked me the most~"
Alicia excitedly went forward to hug Xi Wang and rubbed his face affectionately, which surprised Mei Lei Dian... Although Alicia showed "like" to everyone, she was so intimate with the opposite sex... It seemed that the only person in front of her was this person?
Could there be some strange relationship between these two people? - Raiden Mei couldn't help but think so.
"Ah, don't tell Sakura about what happened just now~ Although Sakura probably won't be jealous, but... this can be considered our little secret~"
"???"
Listening to Alicia's slightly naughty words, Mei Raiden's eyes twitched... Are there any elements of strange love TV dramas in this? For example, a love triangle or two-timing?
Could it be that the [Ying Jie] in front of me is a "scumbag"?
"Then I'll leave first~ Hehe~ Mei, you have to work hard~ Nozomi's assessment is very strict~"
Alicia said this and quickly "swam" away, and no one knew where she went.
"…………"x2
After losing the middleman Alicia, the two people present had nothing to say. They just remained silent and looked at each other...or rather, Raiden Mei was looking at Xi Wang unilaterally.
