Chapter 228 An insight on a world without Rio... (Skippable)

(At the end of this chapter has some insights on what the current situation would have been if Rio hadn't altered the original plot, read it with your own caution, because we are talking about Fade here, so brain rot is possible!)

...

Time passed slowly and after a few hours, Al was successfully able to ascend, moreover, due to the help of the sudden epiphany he seemed a bit stronger than usual newly ascended S-rankers from the get-go.

Al opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face after a long time.

The original haggard and tired look on his face seems to have disappeared all now and his vitality has soured to a new level.

The weak and fragile aura that lingered around him earlier has solidified at this time and he has become a genuine S-ranker now.

'Sigh, it was wasting my time on alcohol and worldly things, I would have progressed more if I hadn't resorted to self-blame...' (Al)

Al could also feel it now.

The reason why he wasn't progressing was because of his own mentality.

Due to being in depression, he ended up resorting to heavy drinking and going to various clubs.

His reputation of being a scumbag spread because he got in trouble with several people in the clubs after being high on alcohol.

Loss of reputation further pushed him deeper into the abyss of depression, eventually causing harm to his progress.

Just when Al was busy thinking about various things in his head, his parents rushed over to check on his condition.

Only after confirming that Al had safely ascended did they both heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing such a concerned look on their faces for him, Al felt ashamed in his heart.

He rarely meets his parents these days as they are busy at work, thus he has built up resentment for them, but now that he saw their concerned looks he realized that it was all just his own idiocy.

His parents never really stopped caring for him, they were just too busy. This realization finally caused the heavy burden of negative feelings in his heart to disappear.

"You really were careless this time, if we hadn't taken action on time, the mana storm caused by your ascension could have troubled a lot of civilians..." (Ryul)

"But I guess it's okay, after all, no one was harmed anyway, so congratulations on becoming an S-ranker..." (Ryul)

"Although you will have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities from now on, this major breakthrough is still a great thing!" (Ryul)

"I will be more than happy to help get rid of some burden from your shoulders, Father..." (Al)

Syvis patted Al's head and smiled. New novel chapters are published on

"Our son has grown up, it's a moment worth celebrating... I will make a handmade cake for today!" (Syvis)

"Oooh! Nice" (Ryul)

"Good!" (Al)

While the three were having a happy family time, Ashtel and Jin stood nearby silently.

"Ahem, I think I should excuse myself now..." (Ashtel)

"y-Yeah, I too..." (Jin)

Then war starts, and humans suffer under the onslaught of the elven armies.

You must keep in mind that by this point there would have been no SS-ranker to protect the human empire, Jin would have never even ascended to rank SS in the first place so don't even bother thinking about him.

Then Fade slowly rises to power over the years and contributes a lot to the war, he would have become the savior, the hero of the human race revered by all.

Eventually, he would have killed Ryul and Syvis, and after defeating the Elven army, he would be considered the strongest person in the world. (Syvis refused to become his woman so he killed her...)

People will treat him as a celebrity even and will forget about the fact that he was the one who started the war in the first place.

No one will say bad things about him as the aura of a protagonist is no joke.

By this time Fade would have a harem of at least fifty women.

Yes, it's not even a joke, every son of the heavens is born as the most handsome guy, you don't expect Fade to be ordinary in looks, do you?

Fade actually found a beautifying technique from the system store, which made him more handsome than even Link in the future.

People like Rio who are just ordinary in looks don't even stand a chance in front of Fade's handsomeness!

'As for that elf princess... I didn't even have to read the novel to guess what happened...' (Rio)

She gets love-struck by Fade at the very first sight and ends up being the one to reveal all the secrets of the elven army to Fade, thus causing the collapse of her own empire under Fade's deliberate manipulation.

Technically, she helped Fade kill her parents and destroy the Elven Empire.

'Instead of Al who is rumored to be a scumbag, I would rather want to stay away from that two-faced princess...' (Rio)

Rio wanted to stay away from the princess, but he didn't take into consideration one key thing, and that was, that Fade wasn't even an A-ranker now, and the princess was already a peak A-ranker.

So it's going to be impossible for Fade's protagonist aura to affect her at this point.

(The best way to avoid being influenced by the protagonist's aura is either you become stronger than the protagonist... or you kill the protagonist...)

The reason why Rio hasn't killed Fade yet is because he is still uncertain and also he has a use for him.

'I have no idea how the heavens will react if Fade died...' (Rio)
