"I...I do!"

She sniffed, her eyes filled with tears, and readily agreed to my question. I then slipped the ring onto her ring finger.

I got up, opened another box, and walked to Sylphie. She had already started crying when I put the ring on Alice's finger; her eyes were red.

“If Sylphie keeps crying, her makeup will be ruined.”

I reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and she cried even harder, her face streaked with tears.

"I...I'm so happy just thinking about becoming Rudy's wife in the future..."

She was sobbing uncontrollably, and Alice reached out and patted Silphie on the shoulder, teasingly saying, "Silphie, you're not allowed to cry anymore, or I'll sleep in your bed tonight."

"what?"

Hilfi seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and her face immediately turned bright red.

Luo Qixi pouted, her eyes fixed on the ring in the box; she seemed to be getting impatient.

I didn't intend to make her wait any longer, so I said, "None of you three will get any sleep tonight. Remember to come to my room later."

After saying that, I took out the ring that belonged to Sylphie from the box.

Her ring was made of openwork platinum, with a pea-sized diamond in the center that seemed to absorb the light of the stars and the moon, emitting a faint rainbow glow.

“Miss Silphiet Boreas Greirat, you take me to be your wife, no matter what…”

"I am willing!"

Before I could finish speaking and kneel down on one knee, Sylphie had already given me the answer and hugged me.

"Great, I'd love to too."

I patted Silphie's head, gently nudged her, then knelt on one knee and slipped the ring onto her slender, fair ring finger, completing Silphie's ritual.

Finally, I walked up to Luo Qixi. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her body was still trembling. She had been very anxious just now, but now she was extremely nervous.

"Loki, Migradia Boreas, Greirat, are you willing to become...?"

"I do!!!"

This one was even more impatient. As soon as I said her name, she shouted it out nervously. I've never heard her shout like that in all my life.

Seeing that she still didn't dare to open her eyes and her little face was flushed, I couldn't help but chuckle. I then lifted her face and kissed her pink lips, thus fulfilling her request for a kiss this morning.

"Huh? Luo Qixi is so cunning!"

"How could this be...?"

Upon seeing this, Alice and Silphi both pouted in displeasure.

"We'll resupply you tonight, don't worry."

I smiled and took out Luo Qixi's ring from the box. It was a silver ring with a deep blue gemstone on it. Under the moonlight, it was as dazzling as the sunset falling into the evening glow and the lake in the tranquil grassland, yet not glaring.

At this moment, although Luo Qixi was still a little nervous, she opened her eyes and looked at me with her light blue eyes as I took her hand and put the ring on her ring finger.

"Alright, the ceremony is over. Alice, Silphie, and Luo Qixi, the three of you are now officially my wives."

As I stood up, as if it had been planned in advance, the three of them rushed up and hugged me tightly.

The third round of fireworks lit up the sky, drawing ribbons of dazzling galaxies across the night. They intertwined and eventually scattered into streams that drifted away into the heavens.

......

I think I had a dream. When I came to my senses, I suddenly found myself in a white place.

It was a place I had never seen before, completely empty, with nothing there.

I felt incredibly heavy, with a protruding belly, short, stubby fingers, and greasy skin, and a strange sense of irritability constantly welling up from my chest.

That's right, I died in that car accident long ago.

This is probably a place where only the dead would appear.

But there was no one else around; I was all alone.

"Hi, Dad."

A girl's voice entered my ear. I looked closely and saw that the white void in front of me was turning into the figure of a girl. She had light blue hair, a face exactly like Luo Qixi's, and was wearing a gray magician's coat. In her left hand, she held me and the same Arrogant Water Dragon King sword, and in her right hand, she held a blue crystal ball.

I recognize her.

"Lala? Long time no see."

I called out her name.

"Dad, I don't have much time left, but I can tell you some good news. The God of Man has been defeated. Over the years, I have traveled through countless planes of existence, and without exception, they all ended up like the world you live in, where the God of Man was destined to succeed. But when Mr. Orsteed and I defeated the God of Man in my world and sealed him away, we discovered that the God of Man in all the planes of existence had disappeared. In other words, the world you live in will not be destroyed because of the God of Man."

She was speaking in a language that seemed familiar to me, but I couldn't understand it.

"Congratulations!"

I said, "But gods and humans seem to have nothing to do with me anymore. My children and I probably won't live to see that time."

"Um..."

She seemed somewhat disappointed as she listened to what I said.

"But you've worked hard, Lala. The dad who truly belongs to you is definitely waiting for you to go back. Now that you have some free time, you should spend more time with him."

"Okay, Dad."

After she finished speaking, she vanished into the blank world.

......

I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in a rocking chair. In front of me was a spacious courtyard with a neat lawn and various flower beds. If I remembered correctly, this should be the Lily Garden in the Silver Palace, Ariel's favorite place when she was queen.

When I saw a few strands of white hair drift past my eyes, it seemed as if I remembered something. I am now seventy-four years old, and I am about to be buried.

"My Lord, General Sieg has sent word of victory. Asura's army has swept through everything in its path and has now conquered Oni Island, unifying the entire northern lands. My Lord, what reward do you think I should bestow upon him?"

The person sitting next to me is the current king of the Kingdom of Asra, or rather, the current emperor of the Asra Empire, Georgelant Anemoy Asra.

He is the grandson of Edward, the successor to Chris and Ariel, and should call me great-grandfather, but because of the relationship between ruler and subject, he now generally addresses me as Lord Father.

This child is already fifteen years old this year, the age to get married and have children. He inherited Chris's red hair and triangular eyes, as well as Ariel's beauty. If he were dressed as a woman, he would definitely be a very beautiful noble lady.

"Your Majesty, just give me whatever you think is appropriate. I am old and frail, and you can't expect me to advise you on everything, can you?"

"The Lord Father is right."

I gazed at the azure sky and began to reflect on my past life.

In the past few decades, Her Majesty Ariel died after reigning for less than ten years, and Luke was assassinated by some opposition forces in the court in the same year. The heavy burden of the country suddenly fell on my shoulders.

I carried on the wishes of Ariel and Luke, supported Edward's succession, weakened the power of the territories, dispatched troops and generals to various places, and stripped the lords of all their powers except for paying taxes from their territories. Finally, in the eighth year after Edward's accession, I completed this task.

I remember that my eldest daughter Chris and my second daughter Lucy both got married when I was thirty-five. Chris married Edward, and Lucy married Robin.

Ars married Ariel's eldest daughter, Salier.

The year after I married Alice, Silphie, and Loki, Sieg, who was born, married Ariel's second daughter. Although we don't know who her father is, he seems to be a prominent figure.

Sieg was born with extraordinary strength and striking green hair, which enabled him to serve in the army and quell many rebellions in the territories after he grew up. Later, he was personally taught by the dragon god Orsteed and is now ranked fifth on the list of the seven great powers.

In the third year of my marriage, Luo Qixi gave birth to twins for me. I named them Lala and Lily. Unfortunately, neither of them has been able to get married yet. They don't want to get married, and I don't mean to force them. One is studying magic at a magic university, and the other is studying magical tools in the army.

Speaking of magical tools, Robin invented a magical firearm when he was twelve years old. Now, the Asura army is uniformly equipped with this weapon. At the age of twenty-five, he proposed to establish the unified civil service examination system of the Asura Empire. The examination is divided into three categories: village examination, territory examination, and national examination, based on subjects such as policy essays and classics. This has given the Asura Empire a wide range of opportunities to recruit talents.

The Asura Empire has now entered an unprecedented golden age, spanning the entire Central Continent, reaching the former Dragon King Kingdom's East Port in the south, the Holy Land of Swords in the north, and the Heavenly Continent in the east. Without Robin's magic firearm and some reforms, Asura would not be as powerful as it is now.

After studying at Milis, Norren wandered around as a bard, sending letters back every year, and still does now. At the age of twenty-nine, she married a Sprude named Rigelud, which indirectly caused Paul's death. Senis, Hilda, and Lilia also passed away in the following years.

I was furious at the time and wanted to send troops to bring her back, but then I thought that this was Noren's happiness, so I didn't say anything more.

As for Aisha, she mastered advanced magic without chanting and practiced the Water God Style to the King level, but she married her subordinate who was ten years younger than her. Now she is one of the Palace Knights and holds a very high position.

Before I knew it, I seemed to have fallen asleep again.

......

"Rudy! Rudy!"

Suddenly, I was awakened by an urgent voice. In front of me was a white-haired woman who looked to be in her forties. She was a beautiful young woman with long ears.

She took my hand, and I realized that I was lying in bed, and the blanket covering me was so heavy.

“Sylphie…”

"Rudy, His Majesty said you fell off your chair, I was so worried."

She gently scolded him.

After hearing what she said, I did feel some pain in my lower back and thighs, but I seemed to have no strength left.

"Thump, thump, thump, thump..."

A sound of a cane slapping the ground came from the doorway. A blue-haired girl was helping an old woman with red hair walk in. The old woman looked angry, which was quite frightening.

"Rudius! You can't walk in front of me! Do you hear me?!"

Her tone was commanding, and she was really irritable.

"Alice, don't talk nonsense. You and Rudy will both live to be a hundred years old."

The blue-haired girl next to the old lady teased gently, it seems to be Luo Qixi.

Behind them, people entered the room one after another—red-haired, blue-haired, blonde-haired, young, middle-aged, elderly, and children. They gathered around my bedside, smiling.

"Why...why are there so many people...?"

I asked with difficulty.

"Today is Rudy's seventy-fifth birthday, and they've all come to congratulate you."

Sylvie answered gently from the side, introducing each item to me one by one, "This is Lucy's..."

I could no longer hear her voice clearly. I only saw Luo Qixi helping Alice sit in front of my bed. Slowly, my consciousness faded away.

......

In the year 482 of the Ankylosaurus calendar, Rudius Boreas Grerat died. In the same year, Iris Boreas Grerat and Hilfiet Boreas Grerat also died.

According to historical records, later generations have held mixed opinions about Rudius Boreas Grerat, with some praising him as the founder of the Asra Empire and others calling him a great minister who revived the empire. A series of reforms he initiated and implemented, such as the civil service examination, are still in use today.

However, some people consider him a cruel and ruthless official based on his numerous killings, especially during the twenty years from age 25 to 45, when he almost completely wiped out the court officials of the Silver Palace in order to implement reforms, thus earning him the title of "the emperor's butcher's knife".

But looking at Rudius's life as a whole, the great achievements he made are unmatched by any other minister in the history of the Asura Empire, not even the past kings.

Author's Closing Remarks

I never imagined that my book would come to an end. I started writing it in mid-March 2021 and today, July 1, 2022, is an important and memorable day.

The total word count is over 830,000, and with the extras, it's about 850,000. It took a year and a half to write, which isn't fast. However, as one of the few authors in the current jobless fanfiction genre who has crawled out of the grave, I finally have the right to criticize others for being unreliable.

After a year and a half of writing, it was quite unexpected that the first book I finished was a fanfiction. In the past year and a half, I have been writing purely out of love. I have been praised and criticized. The No-Job Fanfiction Universe that I worked hard to build with some other fanfiction authors is beginning to take shape. However, many authors have also abandoned their projects, and this fanfiction universe is in a semi-suspended state.

However, I've finished it. I've only half-heartedly experienced the author's joys and sorrows, and I've given myself an explanation, so I can consider it a successful conclusion.

For the rest of my time, I will focus on preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. If I pass the exam, I will start a campus romance novel. If I fail, then the new book will be canceled.

Alright, I wish all other Mushoku fanfiction authors a hotter and hotter writing experience, and that they finish their works quickly and crawl out of their graves. I also wish that more and more fanfiction authors will join the world of Mushoku.

(P.S., I actually thought about writing something about Kamen Rider Lala, traveling through various fanfiction worlds and following the Decade storyline, but time has pushed it out. It would be great if someone could complete this project.)

Lastly, I wish all my readers and authors a wonderful life and happiness every day!
