Although I didn't turn to the outline, I actually remembered the general direction of the plot, but I still had no idea about how to write it down.
Therefore, let me explain the outline for now, which can only be regarded as a belated explanation.
First of all, before I started writing, I actually had a very good plan, but as the writing progressed, whether it was various force majeure or more and more complicated branches, I wrote more and more words, and the language changed. Simplicity is also being lost.
The original plan was to write a book of about 1.5 million words, but when I was less than halfway through the outline, I realized that it was already almost 700,000 words, so I could only forcibly cut off part of the branch plot, that is, the entire Holy See related to the first volume and the protagonist himself. Wire.
But now that I think about it, the Holy See line actually solves the problem of "why the protagonist came to this world".
That is to say, it was simplified to some plots in the seventh volume, and the original discovery by the male protagonist was changed to being informed by others.
Of course, these are actually small details that don’t have too much impact. They are just things that happened during the creation at the time, and I will share them with everyone.
After that, I will actually have a relatively core theme in each volume, and this theme actually comes from the rebellion of the Ten Commandments of Moses. Of course, it is not in complete order, but I didn’t understand it when naming it, so the volume name Quantity is wrong.
The first volume is one of solipsism, taking the rebellion of uniqueness as the enemy and also hinting at the uniqueness of the protagonist.
The second volume is about faithless fanatics, which embodies the rebelliousness of not making idols into the blasphemy of idols, the ambition to manipulate gods, and the most important thing is to lead to the fact that gods once existed in this world.
The third volume is an unspoken taboo. The content of this volume is also about resurrecting the dead, which has always been a taboo thing. Of course, the most important thing is to provide further foreshadowing for the following. By the way, the first volume of the Demon King The origin of the story was finally revealed a little bit.
Starting from the fourth volume, it has gradually departed from the scope of the Ten Commandments.
It was originally a part of the Ten Commandments that was difficult to express, so I used a coupled structural creature like the Chimera as the theme. Following the conclusion of the third volume, I continued to reveal the truth about the destruction of this world and the glorious civilization. Efforts once made to survive.
Of course, it is one.
Volume 5 and the scheduled 6th volume, that is, the volume of the truth of destruction, were originally intended to show the reality, essence and instinct of civilization as the core, that is, war survival and the truth hidden in this world. However, due to the postgraduate entrance examination, this time was completely stretched, and I wrote it intermittently without feeling at all. The most important thing is that the unfamiliarity of the plot has made it difficult for me to wrap up the previous foreshadowing.
The original intention of this volume was to use the instinct of civilization to draw out the ultimate enemy, representing the will to destroy civilization in this world, that is, the part left after the gods that people believed in were destroyed, and the essence of protecting people was transformed into With his obsession with reviving the past civilization and his resentment towards the current civilization, Noelle was supposed to shine as the god of the past civilization.
Just showing the collision between countries has already spent too much ink, and the Eternal One is also used to pave the way for the next volume.
But in short, the outline of this volume should be that after solving the war crisis, we learned the truth about the enemy, and through the hands of the old god who had lost the source of his faith, he activated the pocket watch obtained in the three volumes of Silent Executor, and returned to the world. In the past, this section actually included the Holy See line that had been cut off.
Volume 7 is this past.
Before Ethel died, and Nolan Lusi was just a young girl, most of the organizations in the Norma Federation had completed their escape procedures for a long time, leaving only automatic man-made objects still running in the sky.
Human beings who were not picked up have returned to the level before the Industrial Revolution hundreds of years later, and disasters caused by the gods have come.
Originally, Ethel and Nolan Lusi were to be offered as sacrifices to the gods.
At this point in time, the male protagonist rescued them, and then led their efforts to rebuild civilization in the wilderness, and became the legendary magic swordsman of time magic. Of course, he was actually the prophet of the Holy See.
ha! Some people may have guessed that, in fact, this is also the starting point of the demon clan.
The origin of the demon race is that in order to survive the end of the world, humans underwent Chimera transformation thousands of years ago. They have the characteristics of demon beasts and the power to survive in various harsh environments. This was originally a last resort. In the end But he became the driving force behind the destruction of mankind.
Volume 8 is actually intended to be a surgery. Ethel died this time, because in such a world, it is impossible to live so easily without the protection of the 'demon clan'.
The multiple gods who have lost their faith are also existences that the male protagonist cannot resist, so in the end he was unable to stop the history that had already happened.
Of course, we definitely can't write it that simply. Ethel finally became a god like Noel through the time magic of becoming a god and the male protagonist's basis of existing for thousands of years.
In Volume 9, the male protagonist has accumulated enough strength to lead generations of human beings to resist the divine disaster, and gradually get closer to the truth of the divine disaster. At the same time, Nolan Lusi became a walking god and Athel, the god of the underworld. He was able to break away from the shackles of many gods that destroyed civilizations and became the helper of the male protagonist, including of course Kyle Rath who was not yet schizophrenic. / Cebolos and the eldest sister Daloxis, it is normal to have three three-headed dogs of hell.
This is how the conflict between humans and demons was resolved.
In Volume 10, the male protagonist, as a prophet who has returned from time, leads mankind to build a godless world, breaks away from the shackles of history, resists the catastrophe of civilization, and finally gets the chance to continue, plus a little talk about it later.
The above is roughly where the book should actually go.
But I can only remember these general directions. Countless foreshadowings and characters, I have almost forgotten them now.
So this book finally ends like this.
I bear a lot of responsibility for all this caused by immature ideas and over-optimism about the future.
It’s just that...it’s hard to continue my enthusiasm for this book.
Sorry, I couldn't give you a perfect solution, so I can only tell you the plot below.
This should be a story about finding hope, just like what I set out for the male protagonist.
No matter how great the suffering is, in the face of crisis, there is always that tiny miracle that can become the last hope and bring everything to a satisfactory solution.
However, in reality, it is difficult to have such development, which is also one of the necessities of existence.
