AFTERWORD
Hi! This is Mottotte Shinji one of the Authors of Betsukairu, it has been more than a year since I started this story and asked my colleague's help, and with Chapter 9 now out Volume 1 is officially complete.
It pains me to say that I am here to bring you sad news, although I submitted this story on both Wattpad and Tapas only in January of this year, and involved MalamignaTubig's name, he already left after months of making this novel. We did not fight nor was I angry, it's just that he had a lot of schoolwork to attend to and did not have any time to discuss our novel. It was fun, remembering our story that led me to make this novel.
It was a boring night inside my room when I decided to finally read a manga, my friend, Bosh, suggested to me, the manga was Mushoku Tensei. After I finished the manga, I immediately suggested it to my other friends, MalamignaTubig included, because I loved the manga so much. I urged him to read it on discord with an open camera together with Bosh. My favorite arc was when the protagonist had a fight with his father, the 3 of us were crying on discord while reading that arc, and both Bosh and I laughed at MalamignaTubig's crying face. Since then, it became my favorite arc and series just because of that memory. Only regret I had was that I should've recorded that time we all cried.
We made Betsukairu after we finished all chapters of Mushoku Tensei (Manga) in August of 2020. While I was reading the novel, continuing after the events of the manga, I suddenly felt an urge to make a story to show the world and also influence others. I always wanted to create a story but don't know what to write about. I always loved necromancer in games and as a whole, the power to bring the dead to life intrigues me, so I decided to write with the necromancer class in mind. I showed my initial draft to MalamignaTubig and asked for a collaboration. And since August 28, 2020, we've been making 'Betsu no Sekai ni Mezameru'. After our debut in college, both of us began to neglect the novel and slowed down. While I continued the novel during my free time, MalamignaTubig never had the time, so we discussed it properly that after we finish volume 1, I would remove his name from our novel and that he will only get a cut in volume 1, which he agreed to and apologized for his negligence. After volume 1, I stopped writing, but never forgot about it. I also stopped reading the novel Mushoku Tensei mainly because I don't want to finish and forget the story that changed my life and move on. A year later, in December 2021, a storm struck Bohol where I lived at that time and we were left with no electricity, water, and Internet, that's when I decided to finally finish the novel, and on December 31st I finished Mushoku Tensei with a broken heart, realizing that the story that started it all was already over (although it hasn't).
I went back to our novel and fixed the first volume as I realized the lesson Mushoku Tensei was trying to convey, to stop being pathetic, start giving effort, and enjoy life.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my friends: MalamignaTubig, Bosh, Ilris Ink, LunarHowler, MEH, Artique, Ghostchan, Archieeezy, Vrix Frias, Adrian Mopal, Eddie Muke, Roxtone Viloria, Dale Gonzales, Blair Palmes, Rovic Quines, Joshua Oliva, and Neo Francis Villamar for they have supported me and some provided insights by reading the earlier versions of the novel.
Thank you so much Rifujin na Magonote if you ever get to see this, you inspired me to not only create this novel but to be a better person, and thank you Chugong I don't think I would be able to write anything about necromancers if it wasn't for your series.
