How did I do? Anyway, back to the story.
In the last scene, the hero was confronted with an amazing truth.
Since it’s the afterword, I can write without worrying about story spoilers. So in the second volume, the hero dies, lol. In that scene, Gamota finds his own name on the encoded list of victims from Dr. Hashigami’s ceiling, and at the same time hears his name called on the TV.
If that ever happened in real life it would be shocking, huh? If it happened to you, could you accept that you were dead? Your body still feels fine, if you pinch your cheek it hurts, and you get hungry, etc...
I wouldn’t believe it. “No, wait. This has to be some kind of mistake, lol.” And then I’d try to find all kinds of proof that I was alive. If I looked over on the family altar and saw my own photo next to the picture of my dad, I’d think somebody was playing a prank. Anyway, now that this has happened to Yuta Gamon, what will he do? He might not do what I would do, you know! Yuta Gamon is special. He’s been chosen! He might admit the reality of his death, and use it to do whatever he wanted as a ghost! Maybe he could make a harem for himself like you see often in light novels! That might actually improve sales! (lol) Anyway, look forward to Volume 3 to find out.
Tell me on Twitter what you think! Poya-ya!
