In the Land of Leadale - Volume 6 - Chapter Aft

Character Data

Opus

(Opuskettenshultheimer Crosstettbomber)

A demon player from the Black Kingdom and a level 1,100 Limit Breaker. The Thirteenth Skill Master.

Formerly the Fourteenth Skill Master until a sudden opening allowed him to move up the ranks. The epitome of arrogance and self-assuredness, he earned the nickname Leadale’s Kongming thanks to his outrageous war strategies and penchant for tossing players into the lowest depths of hell. He also happens to be the original creator of the VRMMO Leadale and a former Admin overseer. His connection to Cayna is still largely a mystery.

Kuu

The mascot of Cayna’s household. A twenty-centimeter-tall fairy.

Looks like a charming little girl with light green wings and hair. Her two modes are excited and enraged. Naively innocent at best and conceited at worst. Though she may not look it, this fairy boasts extremely high specs and controls the VRMMO Leadale’s subsystem.

Afterword

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. I’m the author, Ceez. Thank you very much for picking up the sixth volume of In the Land of Leadale. It’s hard to believe we’ve already made it this far. When my editor and I first started discussing the series, I estimated each book would be about one hundred thousand characters and wrap up by the fifth volume. Readers of the web novel have been asking “Isn’t it weird there are even five volumes?” and I must agree.

I did include a scene that sparked some controversy online, but I tried to tone it down as much as possible for this print volume. I was still green back then and didn’t know how to keep my cards close to my chest, so I accidentally revealed too much and spoiled the surprise for my readers. There must be something wrong with me if I end up causing problems here, too. I’ll just have to accept the fact that I can’t write to save my life.

Anyway, if you’ve seen the ads in this volume, you’ll know Leadale is getting an anime! I keep asking myself Is something this huge really happening to me?! and Why my work?! It feels so strange. However, now that everything is set in stone, I want to do my best as the original author to bring even more joy to my readers.

I’d like to apologize to my editor; my illustrator, Tenmaso (thank you as always for the wonderful illustrations); my proofreader; and everyone else involved in the publication of this book for the trouble I’ve caused. I’ll do my best to make sure it doesn’t happen again, and I hope for your continued support.

Ceez
