Tomoki Kudo swore that in his five years of working as an editor, he had never seen such an arrogant newcomer!

New bloggers treat their readers like their fathers, praising them so much that they are afraid they will melt. They can’t wait to kowtow to their readers on the spot to beg for their attention, with a very humble look on their faces.

When the number of clicks plummeted, these bloggers cried heartbreakingly.

This guy did the opposite, treating himself like a father and wanting readers to kowtow to him.

Arrogant!

This meow is so arrogant!

After complaining in his heart, Tomoki Kudo clicked on the article nonchalantly.

It is common for newcomers to be arrogant and have high aspirations.

Anyway, after a few days when the number of views comes out, this newcomer will face the reality and will no longer boast about his insignificant creativity.

however.

The next moment, when the screen jumped to the content of the Land of Steel...

A magnificent painting unfolds, and mournful music with a suppressed sense of sadness and confusion sounds. Before even seeing the text, the shocking pictures and background music have already gripped my heart, making it hard to breathe.

Kudo Tomoki was stunned.

His eyes went from casual to blank.

As if my soul was permeated by this desolate atmosphere, a few crystal tears fell.

Tick, tick...

“I cried…?”

The young editor lowered his head and looked at the wet back of his hand, his face blank and stunned.

Before the brain could react, the instinct had already made the choice.

This is simply beyond common sense!

Tomoki Kudo suddenly raised his head and stared at the computer screen, gasping for breath with nervousness.

Maybe this newcomer has really written something remarkable...

“Gurgle—.”

With the sound of the mouse sliding down, the content of this short story is revealed.

There are six illustrations and two pieces of music in total.

Each illustration is exquisite and profound; the music is also amazing.

Then comes the text.

"This is the end of the century. The planet that is the cradle of all life in the world has died today."

Thick white fog swept across the world. Amid the mournful howls of all species, all the brilliant, beautiful, tragic... civilizations will end at this moment.

……

"This seems to be the divine punishment that has come upon the human species after it dug its own grave."

A sense of desolation and sadness comes over you. Just a few lines of text set off a desperate doomsday scene. Combined with music and illustrations, people are instantly immersed in the sad story, feeling uncomfortable and heartbroken.

The low sound of the piano seemed to be crying.

The sound of the performance is full of delicate emotions, making people feel as if they have entered another world in a trance.

A devastated landscape appeared before my eyes, the world was in shatters, corpses were everywhere, and wailing and screaming were endless, which was shocking.

The world is dying, and it is true.

Tomoki Kudo couldn't help but burst into tears again. He subconsciously stretched out his hand, wanting to touch that desolate world, but he could only touch the cold computer screen.

He was stunned. For the first time, he felt the power of words was so deafening!

It makes it difficult to distinguish between virtual and reality.

9. The uproar on Twitter, the suffocating doomsday world!

Too beautiful!

He wiped the crystal tears from the corners of his eyes and was completely immersed in that sad world.

From the six sisters who are superior to Alex, to the grudges and entanglements between the angel and the gun god.

Venus UO descended as a divine punishment, coldly stating its verdict on all primates.

"You're struggling so hard now. You might as well have died as victims in the prophecy of the year 2000."

"Now justice is on the side of the planet..."

The tone was overbearing and cold, making people feel suffocated.

But this is just the beginning, more powerful planets UOs arrive one after another, bringing destruction and devastation.

Countless races, every tenacious living creature, has its own stance.

On the cold and dead body of the planet, heart-wrenching stories are being performed.

Page after page passed by.

The final battle on the land of steel is about to begin.

“Gurgle—.”

When I scrolled to the end, I only saw the words "To be continued". This magnificent story came to an abrupt end without any follow-up.

"Um?!"

The young editor Kudo was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

What's next?

What's next for me?

How come you only write half of a novel?

A feeling of wanting more than he wanted emerged, he covered his chest and instantly wanted to curse.

This feeling of being neither up nor down is the most uncomfortable!

But then, he reacted and his breathing suddenly became heavier, with surprise in his eyes.

From illustrations to music to novel content, this Land of Steel is of world-class standard.

If I have to describe it, it can be said to be a magnificent "epic masterpiece"!

Not only does it fit the current popular doomsday theory, the characters in the book are also full of heroic colors. They do not collapse negatively because of the end of the world, nor do they resort to escapism. Instead, they try every possible way to survive.

It can be said that it is the opposite of the current doomsday theory. Although the main tone of the story is tragic and depressing, it praises the golden spirit of man conquering nature.

From everyone's point of view, there is nothing wrong with it, it's simply amazing!

This work will definitely be a hit and will undoubtedly be a literary masterpiece with thoughts, depth, breadth... everything.

Tomoki Kudo felt like he was watching a documentary. Through the land of steel, he witnessed a world full of reality that was on the brink of destruction.

As the person who discovered the land of steel, the editor-in-chief will definitely promote me vigorously. Wouldn't it be easy to get a promotion and a raise in salary then?

When Editor Kudo thought of this, his blood boiled with excitement, and the corners of his mouth almost curled up to his ears.

Steady, steady.

He was all smiles, thinking of many compliments in his mind, and wanted to tie this author to his own warship, so he clicked on the homepage of the author of Land of Steel.

Tomoki Kudo was stunned for a moment, and suddenly jumped up from the chair with a somersault. He stood there for a long time, as if he was doubting his life.

Do your family members know that you are so awesome?

Gender, age, occupation, and hometown are all required fields. How did you manage to bypass the backend system and make them all confidential?

Are you a hacker?!

No, I absolutely cannot let such an awesome author go!

The young editor gritted his teeth and opened the private message.

Then his hands flew across the keyboard, clacking out lines of praise. What a brilliantly crafted article! After reading it, I was deeply shocked. I admire Mr. Merlin very much. Could you add my contact information?

I hit enter, and it was sent, and then I got a webpage prompt: "This author has turned off the private message function."

"Merlin, you ***!!!"

Tomoki Kudo couldn't hold it in any longer, his face turned red with anger, and he punched the keyboard.

Damn you, you out-of-place guy, you don’t even dare to give me your contact information!

I'm going to send you a razor blade!

Kudo had never seen a blogger with such a unique personality, and he hated him so much that his teeth were itching.

But no matter what, after calming down for a while, he still allowed Merlin to pass the trial.

He also used his monthly authority to send this article "Land of Steel" to the hot recommendation, then angrily raised his middle finger at the screen to express his admiration for the author Merlin, and started the next round of work.

In the posting area, there is still a lot of content waiting for his review.

……

Because it was on the hot recommendation, countless readers noticed this article.

After seeing the title of Land of Steel, I felt refreshed and clicked on it out of surprise and curiosity.

In the past, popular titles were all light novel-style, such as "I Failed to Become a Hero, So I Decided to Work Helplessly", "It's All Right Even If My Sister Loves Me, Right", "Problem Zombies Are All From Another World"...

It is conceivable how impressive it is that such an ordinary title can be recommended.

In just two hours, the comment section of this tweet skyrocketed to 2,000 comments, and even the author Merlin gained nearly 100,000 followers.

This shows how shocking this short story is to the readers.

"What a divine book! I'm completely obsessed with Merlin's writing. I read it in one go and couldn't help but read it four times. I'm hooked. What's the ending of the final battle? Please update!"

"Mr. Meilin's writing skills are amazing. Please urge me to update!"

"The music is amazing. I got goosebumps the moment the background music started."

"Author, why did you end it here? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

“An unprecedented masterpiece!”

"No, no, no, it's an unprecedented pit!"

"The picture is so beautiful. That delicate beauty perfectly interprets mono no aware. I love it!"

"To be honest, the moment the planet died really shocked me. It really felt like the end of the world."

"Yes, my mom is a Christian. She keeps mumbling about a great flood coming and us returning to God's kingdom all day... It really annoys me. In my mind, the Earth of Steel is the only possible apocalypse."

"Fortunately, there are no magicians in our world, so the Earth won't be destroyed by the exhaustion of the Great Source."

"The person above, is there a possibility that the author is using magic as a metaphor for technology? The magic ritual that destroyed the world is the result of humanity's endless over-exploitation of the Earth using technology."

"That makes sense, Mad, now I think about it I feel a little panicked!"

"I really love Land of Steel. I love this apocalyptic setting where everyone is helpless yet there's still a corner of tenderness. It brings tears to my eyes."
