Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they?   Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options.

Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ………“You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.”………The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine.

At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows. Volume 7 Synopsis: “So what? I naturally know that my actions have brought misfortune onto your village, and for that…- Honestly, I can’t be bothered to apologize to you all. I’ll admit to my misdeeds, but that’s as far as I’m willing to go. To me, those misdeeds have brought me closer to my goal; hence, committing them was worthwhile.” Deity, divinity, god, if there ever comes a day in which I become something that doesn’t belong to the mortal world, I would simply standby, and watch slowly, as the world beneath my feet turns foreign. Behind me… There probably won’t be anyone, or anything… ……… “You… You’ve accompanied me for more than a hundred years now. At this point, you’ve probably already developed a conscience, have you not?” … “Thank you… For your company…” Helplessly, I watched as you fell into the bottomless crevice, as the sound of hideous cries—from monsters in human skin went off behind me. Qing Yi, a person like you…-? If you have a next life, you’ll probably end up as an extremely selfish person, right? ……… “There’s a saying that having a large heart’s eye is what makes a man a great character.

It’s something to be proud of.” “…” Taking another sip of tea, Bujian Yue thought— (Actually, my heart’s eye is as narrow and small as a fingernail.) … (A man with over 90 offspring, and more than 70 wives, if his character isn’t rotten, that would be a miracle.)
