Second Life Ranker

Author’s Afterword

It felt strange writing the “Fin” that signaled the end of Second Life Ranker, a story I started writing from early 2017. Maybe it’s because there have been many changes in my life since then.

I’ve lived in the countryside my whole life, but I moved to Seoul, got an office with my friends, wrote stories, and started a business. I met my partner in life and got married, and I went from my late twenties to my thirties.

I also received so much love to the extent I wondered if I would ever be received like this again. Thank you, readers, once more.

When I planned Second Life Ranker, the theme was “family love” (it’s not how bad-tempered Yeon-woo is T_T). The main character who’s kept his heart closed off his entire life uncovers a secret related to his brother’s death, and he makes many new relationships in the process of revenge… That was the main plot. I wanted to go in detail about how he finds his dispersed family and his heart is mended.

However, the story became longer than expected. There were some sections that were dragged out and episodes I wasn’t able to express properly. I most regret not delving deeply into Allforone’s past. That aside, I tried many things and attempted to make the story amusing and interesting for everyone. I hope this could be felt through my writing.

With this, Second Life Ranker has finally come to the end of its journey over four years and ninety-nine arcs. Still, I plan on continuing to write, and Yeon-woo’s story will go on for some time. The uncompleted transcendence, secret of the 8th-step Awakening, R'lyeh asleep on Earth, plot of the world points and world lines, Hou Yi’s purpose, Agares’ past… I intend on slowly unfolding these events.

I am preparing side stories along with my next novel. I cannot give you any determined date, but I can say it’ll be coming soon. Also, some of you may have caught on already, but my next novel will share the same world as Second Life Ranker and my other novels.

Like my previous works, I planned it so you can enjoy it without having read any of the other novels—or if you’ve read my other works, it’ll be even more entertaining. Please continue to send your love and support in the future.

The weather has started to become hotter again. Please take care, and I’ll return when the heat has subsided.

With much thanks,
