Volume 1 - Afterword

Afterword

Hello, this is Yoo Heonhwa.

The original is the version 1.0 that was published online and the version 2.0 that was published as a fantasy novel book. The book to have been recently published and is now currently in the safe hands of you readers, is the greatly anticipated version 3.0.

Although, when you think of it as a three-stage evolution, I personally can’t help but open my mouth and utter ‘It sounds like a protagonist, so it’s cool......!’, but in truth, there was the tragedy that due to the lack of sales of ver 2.0, the series had ended prematurely. With no doubt, it wasn’t the protagonist, but instead it was an extra who would get hit by the main character once and be sent flying away shouting, ‘Y-You wait and see......!’.

Normally, the line ‘Y-You wait and see’ gave the typical foreboding feeling of being a defeat flag, but surprisingly it really was able to return. I feel like even the protagonist would be astonished by such a tenacious vitality.

Even if this was like a prison with no hopes or dreams, where countless number of extras were cut down by the protagonist known as the market economy, I’m sure no one could have possibly predicted this three-stage evolution. Do your best, version 3.0! Get a good hit on that overbearing protagonist! And to everyone who had participated in the cheering—I’d like to first give my thanks to all the readers who have bought this book.

Ο

I believe that among you readers there are certainly some of you who had bought ver 2.0. I’d like to borrow this position to apologize.

I am very sorry.

Because of the author’s lack of ability, version 2.0 could not run until the very end and had dropped out in the middle of the marathon. Although I am writing this with the attitude of changing my mentality in order to not go through the same accident again, seeing that version 2.0 is already over, I can only give you all my word of apology. Once again, I’m sorry.

Ο

Next, I’d like to give my thanks to the person who had drawn all the illustrations, cocorip. Even though I, the one in charge of the writing, had always passed over illustration planning sheets under a very tight deadline, cocorip had drawn amazing illustrations from start to finish. I’d like to make a declaration that I have never seen artwork in novels as amazing as this anywhere else. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the combat prowess of version 3.0 was amplified by approximately 13 times thanks to the illustrations. I am delighted that we were able to work on this novel together. Please treat me well going forward as well.

Ο

Finally, I’d like to give my thanks to the editor who gave the opportunity to do a three-stage evolution. If the editor had not given such an impassioned speech that ‘This extra has the potential of punching the protagonist square in the face!’ then the marathon race might have completely ended there. I may be the person who wrote the content of the story, but the person to publish this story to the outside world was none other than my editor. Thus, if I was the mother of version 3.0, then my editor would be the father and by miracle of chance a couple was established and......

I’m sorry. That was a small joke. Please forgive me.

Ο

Nowadays the weather has become very cold.

In hopes that everyone is able to get through this cold winter safely, I shall end the afterword here.
