Fantasy Clock～Dream Ruler～

I heard a joke that wasn't funny.

Like picking up an unknown tree fruit that fell on the ground, no one can't help but stop and take a curious look at its weirdness. Bite open is a bitter taste.

Then what?

Everyone who laughed looked like an eyesore.

Hello,

Is it you who makes me bitter without thinking, or that incredible fruit?

Meet again, I am a time traveler.

Today, a very sudden and irresponsible decision was made.

Although I know that I am irresponsible, "Fantasy Clock" is officially over today.

Yes.

There is no epilogue, only the final chapter.

The story begins when Su Ruoyang and Xia Yinci meet in the new world, and it ends here.

Maybe a lot of people will feel angry. It was originally planned to write the ending in September, but it was delayed for a week or two until the current National Day holiday, so I simply said that I was done and stopped writing. No one would be happy with such a decision.

If it were me, I wish I could find the author along the internet and beat me up.

I have such a realization. In fact, starting from August 24th, during this period of more than a month, I picked up a pen or hung my hands on the keyboard many times, and wrote a lot of things hard.

But no matter how many times I have modified the main plot line of the ending, and how many times I have tried to write the text, there is still a voice deep in my heart saying to me:

"It's superfluous."

anxiety. This sentiment continues to this day.

In fact, this story has the best ending I can think of in the final chapter.

The three main lines of the book have all received their due replies at "TRUE END". All the characters of A, B, C lines and other branch lines just go to the new world to continue the future that none of them know.

A completely open future, a future in which no one knows the outcome. It is precisely because the future is a blank blueprint that people can leave their marks full of expectations.

This was originally one of the themes I wanted to convey through "Imagination Clock". So I'm increasingly wondering if I'm shooting myself in the foot.

Unknowingly, "Fantasy Clock" has gone through two years. During this period, I and the protagonist of the story seem to be gradually overlapping and becoming more and more similar. What I seem to write down is the reflection of my inner world, presented in this long story.

In December last year, I decided to stop the update without authorization. Because I hope that I can devote myself wholeheartedly to the college entrance examination.

The result was not as incredible as the story, and I didn't get such a great result. It just ended the battle in the examination room in a normal way.

If you think about it carefully, it's like the beginning and end of this serialized story. Maybe it carries my whimsical ideas, but outside of the story, I am still ordinary.

Instead of stalking and filling the traces of regret, it is better to let the story come to an end here.

Therefore, "Fantasy Clock" is officially over here.

I may come back here one day and show the unfinished tail, and you may have forgotten the story by then. Even so, I believe that the imprint in the cracks of the dream is engraved somewhere in your mind just like the new world plan in the story.

at last. Please allow me to explain what kind of story I wanted to tell at the end of the original.

Because Su Luoyang decided to entrust the future to a self who knew nothing, the theocracy that might have been brought to the new world was lost, and the new world became a completely objective and natural world independent of anyone including the outside world. world.

The wish enshrined in Su Ruoyang's heart was left to Su Ruoyang, who will one day give birth to a new world, and he returned to the outside world with vague memories.

The epilogue centers on the new world. Because everything started from scratch, without the deliberate influence of the gods, Elus did not die, and she was not a magician in the magical world, but just a girl with many weird ideas. In the same way, many people, including William, Baitu Mei, Sato Kazuhiko, etc., did not encounter unnatural fate and experienced the life they deserved.

However, this new world is still based on the outside world: the outside world creates the world at the beginning of the story, and Su Ruoyang and others use this world to create a new world. Therefore, the three worlds are actually very similar, and it is very likely that they will be different. A new organization appeared again, and the New World Project was launched.

In this way, some bad samsara will happen in the new world.

Su Luoyang, who foresaw these things, left a mark of the past for Su Luoyang in the new world.

How to recall this imprint is what Su Luoyang of New World did at the end. Here, Su Ruoyang is about to enter university. He met Xia Yinci in high school, but he never expressed his feelings.

When he decided to confess to Xia Yinci with a ring as a token of love (in response to chapters 40-42, Su Ruoyang did not prepare a ring when he proposed, as a back and forth echo). Xia Yinci unintentionally told Su Ruoyang that she had received an invitation from a university research institute that she admired very much.

In other words, he will not stay by Su Luoyang's side.

Forgot to say one thing here. Xia Yinci here is still the setting of a genius girl, which to some extent responds to the setting of Xia Qianyan from the outside world.

Su Ruoyang wondered whether he should let Xia Yinci stay, and worried that his confession would hinder Xia Yinci's pace. He went to the library where he used to go whenever he was troubled in high school. In this library, Lin Yu, who is still a teacher, is often here.

The black and white cat sisters are the same person here, but the different personalities still exist in the same body. Hair accessories are still markers of different personalities. At the same time, Xiao Lulu became Lin Yu's real sister in this new world, not the one recognized in the NE series. In addition, Lin Yu and Tea Mao have already decided to get engaged.

Later, through a series of events, the story gradually revealed the status quo of different characters in the new world: for example, Su Huilin fell in love with cosplay (response to Su Ruoyang saying that Su Huilin wears different clothes to give people different feelings, how to wear them How suitable), although the Flower of Annihilation does not exist in the new world, she still retains the combat power of the previous world; Chen Zekai and Su Ruoyang are still friends, but they are fighting for the opportunity to join the Core Research Association (Core Research The research institute of the association is the place where Xia Yinci wanted to go mentioned above, so this is actually the key setting for the ending); Feng Chenghuan did not forget the final agreement with Su Ruoyang in Chapter 41 (from the subconscious Sense), but Chen Zekai is competing with Su Luoyang; William, Charter and his son are all in the university that Su Luoyang wanted to go to at first, Baitu Mei did not die; Sato Kazuhiko and Watanabe Kaede have a complicated relationship, because Watanabe Kaede wants Snatching Kazuhiko Sato's younger sister away, the three of them somehow have the same atmosphere as a Shura field.

unconsciously. Su Luoyang gradually developed the feeling that certain people and certain things had happened to her.

Perhaps because of this weird idea, Su Luoyang had a strange dream. In fact, it was the dream that Su Ruoyang from the previous world had predicted and entrusted to him. Remember what Su Ruoyang said when he sent his hope to himself in the new world. These emotions are the dream that Su Luoyang had at this time.

When he woke up, Su Ruoyang suddenly opened his eyes, and tears burst out of his vision. He clutched his chest with lingering fear, as if he remembered that he heard someone say something in his ear that he couldn't forget in his dream. This made him try hard to recall, almost scratching his head, before finally remembering what he heard in the dream.

It seemed to be an English poem—

"Whether it is an unrealistic dream or not...

Do not covet a unreachable stars;

Do just cherish your reversible future.

If the clock of dominators works again, take it back to infinite point.

Lest you but wait for a savior that never turns up."

Pencils broke due to excessive force.

Lin Yu quietly leaned into Su Ruoyang's ear, and asked him why he suddenly wrote English poems. After learning that he didn't write it, Lin Yu suddenly remembered something, and he suggested that Su Ruoyang translate it into Chinese. Su Luoyang was very concerned about this short poem that he had never heard before, so he did it——

"Regardless of whether this is an illusory dream or not, don't chase after distant stars, just cherish your future that can be reversed. If the ruler's clock runs again, please bring the pointer back to the origin of infinity. The world is not afraid to experience a moment of darkness , I’m afraid I won’t be able to wait for the savior who will never appear.”

After complaining, Lin Yu laughed and said that was not the translation, no wonder he failed to get the grade he expected in English. He told Su Ruoyang that this poem was actually inspired by an ancient Chinese poem called "Golden Thread Clothes" .

So it should be——

"Advise you not to cherish golden thread clothes, and advise you to cherish your youth; the flowers can be broken when they bloom, and the branches will not be broken when there are no flowers."

After getting the answer, Su Ruoyang didn't know why, after Lin Yu walked away with a smile, he shook his head blankly, and told Lin Yu that he definitely did not translate like him, what the other party really wanted to convey was——

"I advise you not to cherish the distant stars that cannot be reached, and advise you to cherish the coming time that is still reversible. The world is not afraid of short-term twilight, but only fears that there will never be a clear dream."

Suddenly, Su Ruoyang's heart was full of waves. He picked up his phone and checked the text message sent by Xia Yinci again, saying that she was leaving soon. Without even thinking about it, he ran out immediately. At the end of the story, Su Luoyang got the assistant's seat and started a new journey with Xia Yinci.

Then there are little easter eggs.

"What? Do you like an old woman over 100 million years old?"

After Xia Qianyan woke up from the outside world, she needed to recuperate in a wheelchair and was unable to walk by herself. Su Ruoyang was by Xia Qianyan's side, often taking her around the hospital. During this period, Su Ruoyang and other experimenters found that Xia Qianyan still maintained a common sense and capacity beyond ordinary people.

She already possessed an extraordinary talent, and she had been connected to a computer for five years, so that neither the name of the Virgin nor the core research association dared to ignore her existence. But Xia Qianyan just wanted to live in peace.

So in a certain evening, Xia Qianyan confessed to Su Ruoyang in a rather cryptic manner.

"I will provide you with all the knowledge you need and help you with your research. Is it okay to publish the results of both of us under your name?"

Leaving aside other details, as well as the brief appearances of many characters, the whole epilogue is just such a plot.

Thank you for being with me for two years. However, it's not time to say goodbye. Because I believe that we will meet again soon in the near future.

Well, I am a time traveler. Let's see each other in the future that no one knows.
