Authors Afterword

It felt strange writing the Fin that signaled the end of Second Life Ranker, a story I started writing from early 2017. Maybe its because there have been many changes in my life since then.

Ive lived in the countryside my whole life, but I moved to Seoul, got an office with my friends, wrote stories, and started a business. I met my partner in life and got married, and I went from my late twenties to my thirties.

I also received so much love to the extent I wondered if I would ever be received like this again. Thank you, readers, once more.

When I planned Second Life Ranker, the theme was family love (its not how bad-tempered Yeon-woo is T_T). The main character whos kept his heart closed off his entire life uncovers a secret related to his brothers death, and he makes many new relationships in the process of revenge That was the main plot. I wanted to go in detail about how he finds his dispersed family and his heart is mended.

However, the story became longer than expected. There were some sections that were dragged out and episodes I wasnt able to express properly. I most regret not delving deeply into Allforones past. That aside, I tried many things and attempted to make the story amusing and interesting for everyone. I hope this could be felt through my writing.

With this, Second Life Ranker has finally come to the end of its journey over four years and ninety-nine arcs. Still, I plan on continuing to write, and Yeon-woos story will go on for some time. The uncompleted transcendence, secret of the 8th-step Awakening, R'lyeh asleep on Earth, plot of the world points and world lines, Hou Yis purpose, Agares past I intend on slowly unfolding these events.

Like my previous works, I planned it so you can enjoy it without having read any of the other novelsor if youve read my other works, itll be even more entertaining. Please continue to send your love and support in the future.

The weather has started to become hotter again. Please take care, and Ill return when the heat has subsided.

With much thanks,
