《CHRONICLES of a PC Gamer Stuck Inside an RPG (Book Two: Successor)》Epilogue (FINAL)
Advertisement
I awoke to the sound of my smartphone ringing. I discovered that I had fallen asleep at my desk. With half-opened eyes, I fumbled around with my hands for my device. When I found it, I belatedly opened my eyes and connected the call. "Hello?"
"Hi, Lawrence. It's Cindy, your book editor," the voice said on the line.
I immediately jolted awake at her name. I looked at the computer screen and checked the date and time. I was amazed to learn that I had returned to the same day that the Gamemaster brought me to Earth 2. I immediately clicked on my word processor; my latest chapter was on display. The word count indicated that I was already at 80% toward completion of my weekly assignment. "Hi! I was going to call you," I replied.
"Oh," she sounded hesitant. "I need to take a sabbatical because I broke my foot and I'm at the emergency room right now. A colleague has graciously agreed to take over as your new editor temporarily. She will meet you on my behalf today at the usual time and place. Now is almost 8 o'clock. She'll meet you in two hours. Please bring a printed copy of your manuscript, along with another copy of your latest chapter, with you," Cindy requested. "Now, what did you want to call me about?"
"Oh, I was going to ask for a delay in emailing you the latest chapter. I'm still working on it right now. But I should be finished within two hours," I replied.
"Well, how about this instead? Let's turn your meeting with my colleague into a working lunch. Meet her at noon. You get two more hours to finish your work, but you'll pay for her lunch. Sounds good?" she asked.

"Yes!" I accepted her proposal immediately. We usually meet at a cheap, local diner, and I wasn't worried about the bill.
"I know we haven't gotten along very well. I hope you will have a better relationship with your new editor. Good luck!" Cindy hung up the call.
I slapped my cheeks with my hands and waited. However, no in-game message appeared. I was indeed back on Earth 1! I took a deep breath to calm myself. Since my former editor gave me extra time, I wrote like a madman to finish my weekly chapter.

I stared at my half-eaten roast beef sandwich. It was on a cheap, old plate on the table in front of me. I checked the time on my smartphone and saw that it was already a quarter past noon. What happened to my new editor?
Suddenly, a woman with long blonde hair joined my table and sat directly across from me.
When I looked up, I saw an angelic face! My heart froze, and I couldn't breathe!
"Hi! I'm Amelica Kingsbury, your new editor!" the lovely woman gave me a knowing look and offered her usual, dazzling smile.
I jumped out of my seat and hugged her. "How is this possible?" I asked in bewilderment.
"The Gods answered my prayers, my darling, and brought me to your world."
"But why?"
"I'm here to rescue you." And then she kissed me.
THE END

Joshua the Mighty is a hero renowned by none. He is awful at fighting, refuses to take a bath, and is frankly a detriment to all that encounter him. This story, thankfully, is not about him. In a small part of the woods, secluded from human contact, lies the Witches' Grove, a sanctuary for beasts and creatures of all kinds from hunting and destruction. Joshua, through no fault of his own, stumbles into the grove, and is immediately killed for trespassing. This story is about the small shapeshifter that sees him die, and has an idea that will change the world.

Their peace coming under fire makes the populace recall memories of a time before cultivators existed and of a time where the blood of all genders and ages littered the streets. As a result, the entire Empire draws the same conclusion; they need strong cultivators immediately. However, strong cultivators come at a cost: their existence creates a heavy load on the limited essence density on Cella. Thus, the Empire faces a dilemma: who will pick up the mantle when it falls? And how much is the Empire willing to sacrifice?
