Author's note :
If you haven't guessed it yet, this is not a chapter. It's just me talking about various things throughout the series. I just felt like writing this. There is also a spin off of the series in this chapter or note. Let's just start with few questions.
1. Aria and Den falls in love too fast :
It was the time when I just started writing this fiction. I never wrote anything in my life before. That prologue was the first thing I have ever written. So even though I wrote three pages per chapter, it felt like I have spent days of stuff. So I didn't notice that I was too fast. Now that I write 7-8 pages per chapter and got some experience into writing, I go back to those chapters and feels like ' yeah, it was too fast, what the hell I was thinking?'.
2. Why haven't you changed the prologue yet?
I never had time to. I already got the idea for the new prologue and it will be much better than the last one.
3. How long are you going to write it?
I already know where I am going to end this series. If I keep writing it then we may go as far as 150+ chapters. There is just so much stuff that is on my mind.
4. Do you have plans for other fiction?
You have no idea. There 10 different fiction that are in my mind right now. But I am still struggling to handle just two. I am also a person who writes based on the response. There is another series written by me before End of Life in this site. See if you can find it.
5. Is there going to be NTR in this fiction?
No, there will be no such things. I hate NTR. I am not going to write that.
6. Did you changed your decision to kill Aria after reading the responses and revived her in next chapter?
No, I killed her to bring more anger against Nestor. I never planned to kill her. I knew Den's weakness will be that he can't protect others. So I wanted to give him a power that can be used to save Aria. It was supposed to be epic scene Den receiving Aria's wound. But it didn't come out that way. Probably, because I was rushing to write the chapter as soon as I can.
7. You ruined the fiction by killing Aria and reviving her next chapter.
Chapter 16 and 17 are also the chapters that has most number of replies. So I get the most attention for the chapters that ruined the series. I still think that it gave boost to the fiction rather than ruining it. You can't write something good without adding some drama in it.
Spin off :
So before chapter 5, I had different plans for this fiction. But I scrapped it away because I felt like it will too boring. That also resulted in the Aria and Den falling in love too fast. Anyway, so here is how this fiction would have turned out if I kept writing it.
You remember the point where Den follows Aria and the three men in chapter 3 and 4 (Mentally Broken?). Aria was suppose to never notice Den following them. When they try to rape Aria, they knocks her out in the process. Den kill the three men and wakes up Aria. Aria only see a glimpse of him but couldn't see his face properly. She falls back into unconsciousness. Den leaves her there thinking that she will be fine.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Later on Den goes inside the Niveta town and goes to the adventurer's guild. It was supposed to be after a week from the time he saved Aria. He meets with Aria again in the adventurer's guild. Den knows that she is the slave he saved but Aria doesn't remember him because she didn't see his face properly. She thinks he is just a random adventurer. After getting saved by Den, she decided that she will live her life with pride and stop being a slave. She decided to join adventurer's guild to make life on her own without relying on others.
She also hopes to meet her hero who saved her again. She wanted to say so many things to him. Den who obviously remembers her tries to give her some help.
"ah do you want some money? It will help you in starting a new life" Den said.
His intention was to clearly help her. But Aria thinks he is someone from the town and knows that she was once a slave. Aria who feels like he is pitying her gets angry at him. She hits him with a punch.
"Don't you think I am as weak as before? I don't need anyone's help. If you get in my way I will kill you" Aria said.
She shows him cold eyes. So that is how there first meeting would have turned out. Later on the story follows the same route as in this story but this time Aria is not together with Den as she goes on her own way. Den fights the dragon and meets Lisa same way he did in this fiction. However, Lisa isn't a caged lady like before or even a noble. She is an adventurer. A skilled Mage. She gets entangles up with Den. Yeah, so first official heroine would have been Lisa.
They decide to conquer dungeons together. Yes, there are dungeons in this world. They leave the town and goes to the nearest dungeon located in the Divane town. Remember the town that was never the part of this fiction. It was suppose to play a major role in my previous idea.
They met with Aria again in the Divane town. Aria clearly hates Den but acknowledges his skills when she sees him fighting the monsters. So they make a truce to clear the dungeon. Remember Aria still doesn't know that Den is the person who saved her. She still hates him from their first meeting. She starts to like him throughout their adventures together but can't be honest in front of him. She always shows it that she hates him. She also struggles between her feelings for Den and the hero who saved her.
So Aria turns out be a tsundere type of character rather than innocent Aria who is devoted to her master like now. So this story was supposed to be a light heart romance comedy with fantasy theme, adventures and dungeons. Eventually more members adds up to Den's harem as he clears out dungeons. He eventually ends fighting against the Demon lord. Yes, there is a Demon lord in this fiction. So he kills the demon lord and becomes the invincible hero of this world.
I felt like this fiction has no plot or any real story and people would eventually get bored of it. So I came up with this new idea and that's what you see in this fiction so far.
Well that's enough for the Spin-off. Let me know if you want me to write this spin off as a different fiction some day.
We have come so far in this fiction. I never thought I will continue this for this long. We have made it to the chapter 25.
Let me know what you would have liked to see different from what I have been writing up to now. Chapter 26 will take time to write. But it will be released soon or maybe not. Anyway, thanks for reading this fiction this far. I hope you like the future chapters as well.
