Chapter 9

Kudo Tomoki swore that in the five years he had been in the editing industry, he had never seen such an arrogant newcomer!

Newbie bloggers treat readers like their fathers, holding them in their hands for fear of melting, wishing they could kowtow a few times to beg for attention, looking humble.

When the click-through rate dies, these bloggers cry heartbreakingly.

This guy does the opposite, treating himself like a father, wishing the readers would kowtow to him a few times.

Arrogant!

Too damn arrogant!

After Kudo Tomoki complained in his heart, he clicked on this article indifferently.

Newcomers, having some arrogance and a heart higher than the sky is a common phenomenon.

Anyway, after the browsing volume comes out in a few days, this newcomer will be able to recognize reality and won't brag about his sesame-sized creativity anymore.

However.

The next instant, when the picture on the screen jumped to the content of Steel Land...

A magnificent picture scroll unfolded, oppressive, tragic, and bewildered mourning music rang out; before seeing the text, he was already grabbed by the heart by the shocking picture and BGM background music, pressed to the point of being unable to breathe.

Kudo Tomoki was stunned.

His eyes changed from casual to bewildered.

As if infected by this desolate atmosphere, a few crystal clear teardrops dripped down.

Drip, drip...

"I cried...?"

This young editor lowered his head, looking at his wet back of his hand, his face bewildered and astonished.

His brain hadn't reacted yet, but his instinct had already made a choice.

This is simply beyond reason!

Kudo Tomoki suddenly raised his head, staring fixedly at the computer screen, breathing nervously.

Perhaps, this newcomer really wrote something extraordinary...

"Gurgle—."

Accompanied by the sound of the mouse sliding down, the content of this short story was revealed without a doubt.

A total of six illustrations, two pieces of music.

Each illustration is exquisite and profound; the music is also extremely admirable.

Then there is the text.

"This is the end of the century; the planet that is the hotbed of all living things in the world died today."

White thick fog swept the whole world, and in the shrill wailing of all species, everything brilliant, beautiful, and sad... civilization will also end at this moment.

"This seems to be the heavenly punishment that humanity, as a species, brought upon itself after digging its own grave."

A sense of desolation and sorrow came over him; just a few lines of text set off a desperate doomsday scene, combined with music and illustrations, making people instantly immersed in that sad story, uncomfortable and heartbreaking.

The low piano sound seemed to be crying.

The performance was full of delicate emotions, making people feel as if they had come to another world in a trance.

Before his eyes appeared the devastated rivers and mountains, the world was shattered, corpses were everywhere, and the wailing and screaming were endless, shocking to the eye.

The world is dying, not a lie.

Kudo Tomoki couldn't help but shed tears again, subconsciously reaching out, wanting to touch that desolate world, but could only touch the cold computer screen.

He was stunned, feeling for the first time that the power of words was so deafening!

Making people unable to distinguish between virtual and reality.

9. A Sensation on Twitter, a Suffocating Doomsday World!

So good!

He wiped the crystal clear tears from the corners of his eyes, completely immersed in that desolate world.

From the six sisters who were above the A-li Hundred Species, to the grievances and entanglements between angels and gun gods.

The Venus UO descended in the posture of heavenly punishment, coldly expounding the judgment on all primates.

"You are struggling so hard now, it would be better to have died as victims in the prophecy of the year 2000."

"Now justice stands on the side of the planet instead..."

The tone was domineering and cold, making people feel suffocating fear.

But this was just a beginning, more powerful planet UOs descended one after another, bringing destruction and ruin.

Countless races, every living creature that stubbornly lived, had its own position.

On the cold and dead corpse of the planet, one after another stirring stories were performed.

Page after page slid by.

The final battle on the Steel Land was about to begin.

"Gurgle—."

The mouse slid to the end, but only saw the words "To be continued", and this magnificent story came to an abrupt end, with no follow-up.

"Huh?!"

The young editor Kudo was dumbfounded, rubbing his eyes incredibly.

What about the follow-up?

Where is my follow-up?

Why do you only write half of your novel?

A feeling of unfinished business emerged; he covered his chest and instantly wanted to curse.

This kind of up-and-down feeling is the most uncomfortable!

But then, he reacted and his breathing became heavier, his eyes sparkling with surprise.

From illustrations to music to novel content, this Steel Land is of world-class standard.

If one had to describe it, it could completely be called a magnificent "epic masterpiece"!

Not only does it fit the currently popular doomsday theory, but the characters in the book are also full of heroic colors, not negatively collapsing because of the end of the world, not escaping, trying every means to survive.

It can be said to be the opposite of the current doomsday theory; although the main tone of the story is tragic and oppressive, it is singing the praises of the golden spirit of man conquering heaven.

Standing from everyone's perspective, there is nothing wrong; it's simply amazing!

This work will definitely be popular; it will undoubtedly be a literary masterpiece; thought, depth, breadth... it has everything.

Kudo Tomoki felt as if he were watching a documentary; through Steel Land, he witnessed a world full of realism that was on the edge of destruction.

And as the person who discovered Steel Land, the editor-in-chief would definitely promote him vigorously; wouldn't promotion and salary increase be easy to get?

Thinking of this, Editor Kudo's blood surged with excitement, and the corners of his mouth were almost curled to his ears.

Stable, stable.

He was full of smiles, having thought of many complimentary words in his heart, wanting to tie this author to his warship, and immediately clicked into the homepage of the author of Steel Land.

Kudo Tomoki was instantly dumbfounded, suddenly jumping up from his chair like a crocodile, frozen in place for a long time, seemingly doubting life.

Gender, age, occupation, hometown are all required fields; how did you manage to bypass the backend system and change them all to confidential?

No, such an awesome author, I must not let go!

The young editor gritted his teeth and clicked on the private message.

Then his hands danced on the keyboard, typing out lines of praise, what a natural article, he was shocked after reading it, admired Merlin greatly, can I add a contact...
