[There are three ways to survive in a ruined world . Now, I have forgotten a few, but one thing is certain . The fact that you who are reading this now will survive .
-Three ways to survive in a ruined world]
A web novel platform filled the screen of my old smartphone . I scrolled down and then up again . How many times have I been doing this?
“Really? This is the end?”
I looked again, and the ‘complete’ was unmistakable .
The story was over .

[Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World]
Author: tls123
3,149 chapters .

‘Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World’ was a feature-length fantasy novel with 3,149 chapters . Its shortened name was ‘Ways of Survival . ’
I have been steadily reading this novel since the third year of middle school .
During the time when I was bullied by iljins, when I ruined my entrance examinations and had to enter a local university, when the damned random draw went wrong and I was placed in the military unit at the forefront, when I repeatedly switched jobs and am now working as a contractor for an affiliate of a large company… Damn, let’s stop talking about this .
Anyway…
「Author’s words: Thank you so much for reading ‘Ways of Survival’ up to here . I will come back to you with an epilogue!]
“Ah… The epilogue still remains . Then the next chapter is really the last one . ”
From the end of childhood to adulthood, it had been done over a huge period of 10 years . There was a mixture of despondency that a world was coming to an end along with a sense of satisfaction .
I opened the comment box of the last message and rewrote the sentence several times .

-Kim Dokja: Writer, thank you for everything in the meantime . I am looking forward to the epilogue .
They were sincere sentences . Ways of Survival was my life’s novel . It wasn’t the most popular, but it was the best novel for me .
There were many words I wanted to say but I couldn’t write them . I was afraid that my careless words would hurt the writer .
-An average of 1 . 9 hits per chapter .
-An average of 1 . 08 comments .
This was the average popularity index of ‘Ways of Survival . ’
The number of views for the first chapter was 1,2000, but it fell to 120 for the 10th chapter, and then 12 for the 50th chapter . By the time it was the 100th chapter, it was only 1 .
Hits= 1 .
I was overwhelmed by the feeling I got when I saw the numerous ‘1’ that appeared next to the list of chapters . In some cases, there was a ‘2’, but it was likely someone pressing the wrong button .
‘Thank you . ’
The author published a novel with more than 3,000 chapters with just 1 hit per chapter over a period of 10 years . It was truly a story just for me .
I pressed on the ‘Recommendation Board’ and immediately started tapping on the keyboard, -I am recommending a honey jam novel .
The author wrote me a free completed novel, so I should give him a recommendation . I clicked on the completed button, and comments quickly appeared .
–It looks like a new anti . I searched for this person’s ID, and they recommended the same novel several times .
–Isn’t his recommendation banned? The author shouldn’t do this here .
It occurred to me that I had written a recommendation several months ago . In an instant, there were dozens of comments for investigation by ‘spectators’ . My face flushed with embarrassment .

I was sure that the author would read this . So, I hurriedly tried to delete the message, but it was already reported that the message couldn’t be removed .
“This…”
It was upsetting to think that the recommendation written with all my sincerity turned out like this .
If they even looked a little bit, why didn’t anyone try reading the interesting novel? I wanted to give a donation to the writer, but I couldn’t afford it because I was a salary worker barely able to make a living .
Then I received a notification that a ‘message has arrived . ’
-tls123: Thank you .
A message flew in from out of nowhere . It took me a while to grasp the situation .
-Kim Dokja: The author?
tls123—it was the author of ‘Ways of Survival . ’
-tls123: I was able to complete it to the end thanks to you . I also won the competition .
I couldn’t believe it .
Ways of Survival won a competition?
-Kim Dokja: Congratulations! What is the competition?
-tls123: You won’t know it because it is an unknown competition .
I wondered if he lied because he was ashamed, but I wanted it to be true . Perhaps I really didn’t know . It might be a bit hit on other platforms . I was a little sad, but it was good to have an excellent story spreading .
-tls123: I would like to send a special gift to you as a thank you .
-Kim Dokja: Gift?
-tls123: It is thanks to my dear reader that this story has come into the world .
I gave the writer my email address as he asked .
-tls123: Ah, right . I got the monetization schedule .
-Kim Dokja: Wow, really? When will it start? This masterpiece should’ve been paid from the beginning…
It was a lie . The Ways of Survival was a daily series, so I would’ve had to spend 3,000 won a month . 3,000 won was one convenience-store lunch for me .
-tls123: The monetization starts tomorrow .
-Kim Dokja: Then the epilogue coming tomorrow will be paid?
-tls123: Yes, I’m afraid you need to pay for it .
-Kim Dokja: Of course, I have to pay! I will buy the last one!
There was no reply from the author afterward . I logged out of the site . Then I felt the pessimism sink in later .
The author left without a reply after he succeeded…? My admiration turned into petty jealousy . What was I so excited for? In any case, it wasn’t my novel .
“Will he give a gift certificate? It would be good if it’s for 50,000 won . ”
At that time, I was thinking naively . I didn’t know anything about what would happen to the world the next day .

Rage: Crisis / Consequence / ???
Its been ten years since Seth was given his powers, ten years since his town was driven mad by that very same power, and ten years since its source was shunted into his head. A species of energy beings, a people filled with regret for what their entrance onto this world caused. Regret for the deaths that town perpetuated, the devastation they brought, the blow they served to the once proud heroes of this world. Heroes Seth now hopes to join, hopes to heal and atone to for what transpired. But their wounds run deep, their ire sharp, and their acceptance thin. And to top it all off... Seth's power is run far deeper than he knows, and sees his world in a light all its own. This series is my first foray into authoring, with two parts out of at best four if the readership stands. But part three will still book end nicely otherwise. And I'm not stopping till then. It is action heavy with varied and ramping up fight scenes through out. (Book 1 is heavy / Book 2 a little lighter) It is bloody in places, mildly gory in others, and heavily gory in simulated places. Nothing truly horrifying, I think, but be warned. It has trauma. PTSD is a major part of the story, but I will never trust that I got it completely right, so your mileage may vary on how believable or impactful it is. Lastly it has language. Swearing ebbs and flows as the story progresses and attitudes harden or soften. Sometimes bleeding through into the narration... somehow.
