-2 Authors Foreword Introduction (1/2)
***You can skip this wall of introduction text, real novel would start in Chapter 1.***
***You can find out about what kind of novel you will read. If you read here. Minor spoiler might happen about the plot.***
In another universe, called Thousand Arts, a stage was already prepared.
”Welcome to the Introduction! This part will have some unimportant spoilers. You have been warned!” A silhouette appeared. It was a cute and strange creature. ”If the readers don't want to read the spoiler. Please wait until chapter 60 before reading the introduction! This introduction was part of Chapter 61.”
”My name is Master Rabbink. This is the first novel written by Master Rabbink.” The silhouette was Master Rabbink. Its description would appear later in the story. (Hint: Chapter 15)
”Please welcome our co-host! Trevon McArthur. He will help by asking the most frequent questions of a web novel reader.”
A young man appeared. He wore a tuxedo, which was uncomfortable for him. [What kind of robe is this? It is too tight.] He complained. However, he couldn't deny Master Rabbink's request. He needed to do this to unlock something. Trevon looked into the cards which had been prepared for him.
”Thank you for the chance to appear in the introduction.” Trevon felt bitter. His novel reading time was taken by this Rabbink.
”What do you think that your story would be made into one of the web novels?” Master Rabbink started to open a small talk.
”To tell the truth. I don't care.” Trevon plainly said. He didn't get any extra rewards from it.
[What?] Master Rabbink didn't like Trevon's attitude. Some fists materialized above Trevon head. The readers could imagine what happened next.
”Ahem... Let's repeat the question!” Master Rabbink decided to redo the question.
”What do you think that your story would be made into one of the web novels?” Master Rabbink started to open a small talk again.
”It is a big honor to me. Having my own novel like my idols is a dream come true. Please become a long-term reader!” Trevon used one of the sales phrases on the card.
”Pst... You should speak that sales phrases at the end of the introduction.” Master Rabbink told Trevon. It felt Trevon was too unreliable. He should ask for other characters to appear later.
”Who is your idol Trevon?” Master Rabbink asked.
”It is Qing Shui from Ancient Strengthening Technique. I couldn't wait to read his next conquer. Hwehwehwe.” Trevon answered the question quickly.
”Ahem...” Master Rabbink felt Trevon had lost his bearing. ”Remember! You are a cool, elegant, and handsome young master.”
Trevon quickly changed his attitude. He smiled charmingly and professionally. He looked like a model prince charming. [I am looking for more female fans. Hahaha.]
[No way with your harem dream!] Master Rabbink could read Trevon's mind. It almost wanted to slam its own head for having such delusional student.
”Pst... It is your turn now.” Master Rabbink said. Trevon didn't do as the plan.
”How about you, Master Rabbink? What are the novels who inspired my journey?” Trevon asked.
”This Rabbink loves to read 'Stellar Transformation' (ST). It is the book that inspired me a lot. Warlock of the Magus World (WMW) is my most favorite novel with 'Library of Heaven's Path' (LoHP) on the second place. I also got some inspiration from 'Castle of Black Iron' (CoBI) and 'Bringing The Farm to Live in Another World' (BTFTLIAW). I like novels which the character could move between two worlds ('I Have A Mansion in a Post Apocalyptic World' or from original section Dimension System by Zicon.) or novels with uncommon main character (not the usual useless young man from a small cultivation family who turned into a genius who later will be a mindless killer). Master Rabbink also still read numerous novels which would affect me. It could be said that 'Endless Universes' was a combination of ST, BTFTLIAW, and 'Ancient Strengthening Technique' (AST).”
Master Rabbink ended the long speech. ”Pst... Now the cards!”
Trevon took the cards that had been prepared. He was a bit nervous since Master Rabbink said that it would be recorded. He didn't know what that strange artifact called camera would do. He thought it was a bigger part of the tablet. From his Tablet Using Skill, he knew about Camera apps.
”The first question is what readers like me always wanted to ask. Will you finish the story?” Trevon read the card.
”Of course, while I couldn't guarantee the release rate. This Rabbink promised to complete the snapshot of your journey.” Master Rabbink proudly declared. ”However,”
”What?” Trevon was surprised this wasn't in rehearsal. [Will my story have a bad ending?] He felt a bad premonition.
”The story of Trevon would cover some snippets (arcs) of his adventure. I will guarantee to cover all his mortal realm adventures from a common young master into a (spoiler protection) young master.”
”What about my immortal realm adventure?” Trevon complained. Master Rabbink didn't even tell him about the word behind the spoiler protection.
”First of all, it depends whether you survive until you reach that realm.” Master Rabbink harrumphed. Not every main character managed to fulfill his/her destiny.
”If you managed to reach the immortal realm, the adventures would appear as some snippets (arcs) or flashbacks. This Rabbink planned to make it between one or one million chapters long, depending on the success of the novel. Please Vote with Power Stone to increase the ranking! It would be energy drink for this Rabbink!”
Master Rabbink continued his speech. ”As an immortal, Trevon will live an unlimited lifespan anyway. I will give him many missions. Do not worry! There would be numerous filler adventures, especially in the immortal realm. Gwahahaha. Similar to Superman who had been fighting to protect earth from countless crazy opponents since 1938.”
Trevon didn't know who Superman is. He couldn't find him in a novel-hosting site. [Perhaps he is another famous hero.] He was only worried about Master Rabbink's missions. They were never normal.
”What about the realm above?”
”If you manage to live to see the realm and Readers supported this, I also plan to write Trevon's Divine Realm adventures. The ending would be left similar to WMW endings. The adventure would never end because of an ending. An immortal lives forever.”
”Of course, I will reach the realm. I ensure that to the reader.” Trevon didn't want to die in the middle of his story.
”The second question. What is the release rate?” Trevon knew it was another important question.
”One chapter of Trevon story took three to four hours of my earth time and one to two more earth hour for editing a chapter. That is a total four to six hours per chapter. Each chapter was around two thousand and five hundred to three thousand and five hundred words long (I might change this to the common one to two thousand. Editing ten chapters mass release, thirty-five words are too crazy. It was over fifteen hours which equal to three new chapters. It would be strange to have a ten-chapter mass release, but I need to postpone three-day-worth new chapters to deliver it. This made my rate at best one and half chapters per day since I had an earth-life job. This Rabbink will try to ensure one chapter per day rate with a bonus chapters mass release after I reached another sixty storage chapters milestones. Those mass releases would require some reader's events before being released.”
”How can the readers be sure of your words?”
”My writing record would be my best answer. This story was started on the first day webnovel.com had the original novel (10th April 2018?) until 30th June 2018. This Rabbink took three days to prepare cover, writing introduction, and editing ten chapters mass release. During this eighty-one days, Master Rabbink had managed to documented (write) sixty-one chapters of Trevon's adventure. There is one week that this Rabbink used to research (read) female MC web novels to learn about romantic stories (I enjoyed Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard from those novels that I researched).” Master Rabbink started defending itself.
”World Cup 2018 also happened on Earth, which destroyed my writing schedule. It started after work until late midnight. That time is the time when this Rabbink wrote the story. Master Rabbink has a storage of fifty chapters in case this Rabbink need to work overtime. The schedule will be none during my travel holiday which rarely happens.” Master Rabbink made a sad face.
”Is there any binding contract?” Trevon asked the question on the card.
”Nope. But in case I fail to finish Trevon's mortal realm adventure. I promise to donate IDR 2.000.000,00 to a social organization. This Rabbink admit that It isn't a huge number, which is about 1-month minimum salary in country. My country has a low exchange rate. The donation will probably go to an orphanage of my choice.”
Master Rabbink also added. ”I might take some long break or hiatus after I completed a certain arc during immortal realm. This Rabbink has several ideas and wants to write it. If the other story was three hundred chapters long, it would mean one-year hiatus. However, my first main goal is to finish Trevon's mortal realm adventure before writing anything else. The mortal realm adventure will be as long as other complete web novels (Please do not compare with the BTFTLIAW!). This Rabbink has to admit I have written another student of mine in the toilet time. It is hard for me to write Trevon's stories without my spreadsheet. The other story is a fast pace (It was a toilet time work). It concerns a character in WMW (not a fan-fiction). Its main character, Niel, didn't have a harem. It is more mainstreams than Trevon's story (more weak-to-strong story with numerous young master to beat). I won't publish for now, since I don't have any release schedule for it. Currently, it is made in one super long word documents. This Rabbink write Niel's story only when I away from my desktop computer.”
”Third most important questions. Will there be a tragedy?” Trevon also wanted to know this. This was a big spoiler for him.[Please No! Please No!] Trevon hoped.
