"Huh…? What? Why me?" Jack asked.
"I'm confident everyone here agrees that if it's not for you, we will now be living under Master's tyranny," John answered. "This button is designed to be pushed by a single person. So, only one person is needed to decide the fate of this world. You, my friend, are the one with the most justification to bear that privilege."
"It's more of a burden than a privilege if you ask me," Jack protested. "We defeated Master by working together. It's not my own merit."
"But you pulled the most weight," Four Winds put his hand on Jack's shoulder. "If it is you, I won't resent whichever option you take. Destroy the machine or bring us back to the old world. I will accept your decision."
The others nodded, expressing that they agreed with Four Winds' sentiment.
"This is your world. You decide about it," Domon told Jack. "We old geezers only have a few years left. It doesn't matter which world we spent the rest of our days."
Thank you, everyone!
It has been a long three years… Well, four years for me. I started writing Second World around a year before I started publishing the first chapter. There was a sense of surrealism when I wrote the last word in this last chapter. I will miss Jack and the others. But then again, this book is always meant to end this way. Perhaps one day, I might revisit this world. Maybe. I don’t know. I have a lot of ideas for other stories, but I don’t think I will ever put them all down in writing in my lifetime. For now, I’m going to focus on my second book.
About Second World, I need your help. If you’ve read it until this point, I’m pretty sure you enjoy it, right? I mean, there is no way someone goes through hundreds of thousands of words if they don’t enjoy the story, is there? If you don’t, and you still torture yourself to read through it all. I hate to tell you, but there is something seriously wrong with you. You should probably get a thorough medical check-up. But, of course, I don’t believe there is. For you to reach this final chapter, I’m pretty sure it’s because you enjoy the story. For that, I thank you again! Both for the time you spent reading this story and for your *ahem* resources.
Now, if you don’t mind helping me further, please leave a review with five stars. Yes, that’s right, five stars! Goddmanit! God knows I need it. And, if it is not too much trouble, please let your friends know about this book on your social media, so it can get more readers. It will be much appreciated!
If you enjoy my work, I invite you to read my second book, Rise of the Demon General. This book is very different from Second World, considering the MC is a villain, and the story is rather dark. But if you enjoy the pace and action of Second World, I’m confident this book will entertain you as well.
However, I will take a one-month break first. I will resume publishing Rise of the Demon General in September. I hope you can lend me your support again.
As ever, thank you for reading…!!!
