"Just like when we first came rushing upon the invasion of thirty thousand Lizardman enemies, even if you face three hundred thousand, three million, or thirty million enemies, we will unwaveringly stand by your side! Even if our strength is not that great, even if we can’t help much, we will fight until the very last moment and never retreat! Lin Yue, I hope you won’t say what you just said anymore. We will never cease to be your allies because of this, understand?"

"I understand, ally." Lin Yue said, eyes closed at this moment.

He felt an unprecedented surge of passion deep within.

He sensed an emotion within, one he thought had never existed.

Since childhood in the orphanage, he was always the one ostracized by everyone.

Since that incident when he fought three older kids until they cried and bled, no one talked to him at school.

In the orphanage, after the deputy director passed away early, through high school and college, he was always the most silent and isolated person.

Having seen the ugliness, the unfairness, and the dark side of humanity, Lin Yue had never felt warmth like he did now.

Allies, no, rather, this should be called friendship.

Friends who stand resolutely by you in times of peril, swearing to live and die together.

Not just one person, but a group of people.

In this Otherworld without moral constraints, without laws or rules.

The greatest darkness in mankind continuously breeds and amplifies, transforming this world into one where the strong prey on the weak.

Fei Yue, like a ray of light, pierced through the clouds covering the Otherworld.

"Indeed."

Lin Yue suddenly laughed.

He felt as though he had suddenly found a purpose.

A goal he had never considered before.

Even a burden he thought he could never shoulder, now seemed worth trying.

Humans are very ugly.

Humans are also very beautiful.

Through millions of years of evolution, humans went from weak beings competing with beasts for food to rulers of Earth.

Not merely by fighting, not merely by wars, not merely by wisdom and technology.

Those whose names shine brightly in the scrolls of history possess great character and formidable abilities without exception.

Alongside them, many more remain the nameless ordinary individuals.

Whether strong or ordinary, the brilliance of humanity shines in them, passing down this incomprehensible, ugly yet beautiful, twisted yet upright, cruel yet kind, weak yet strong, suspicious yet loyal, evil yet benevolent complex species through generations from ancient times to modern days.

Ultimately, it makes humans stand out among all creatures, becoming Earth’s most outstanding species, the ones who triumph in the end!

In this Otherworld, this human brilliance will ultimately illuminate all darkness and guide humans back to their original home!

If possible.

Lin Yue felt that he could become this light, or perhaps the one who fights valiantly beneath this light!

"I don’t want to be some Savior of the world."

Lin Yue opened his eyes and gazed up at the blue sky.

"But, if I can make a contribution, I would need an extremely reliable ally."

"Haha, it seems you’ve already found that." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Of course."
