Hello to all my dear readers, it's me, Siegburn, the author of this novel.
I'm glad to know that if you're reading this, it means you've liked everything that happened and want to know if there will be more.
First of all, I want to thank you for your support in downloading this novel, thus letting me know that you truly like what comes out of my head.
Second, I'm a little sad. The reason is that we've just completed the first part of this story. There are two more left; that is, we have two more years to see Rudel's adventures in his strange fantasy world.
Now that we've finished the prologue, let's move on to the characters.
The central development was once again taken by the best characters, friends, and waifus of this story: Alisa and Airi.
Since the previous volume, they sowed feelings in Rudel, and after much pain, suffering, tears, and past anguish in this volume, they were finally happy.
Unfortunately, we'll have to say goodbye to them for a bit, as in this new school year they will appear little. I know, it's cruel to take away their happiness and not give them screen time after becoming Rudel's fiancées.
But believe me, they won't be bored, as they will have their own adventures at the academy.
Now, Rudel, I think he is the most complicated to explain, but I'll make it short and easy to understand.
Rudel was made this way on purpose. All the mistakes, all the stupidities, everything, absolutely everything. It was done so you understand that Rudel is an emotionally complicated character to develop.
Rudel has shown what many people show, which are all the feelings Ixion mentioned. Essentially, I wanted Rudel to be a winner who smiles at life.
But surely you would have gotten bored and dropped the story.
That's why I made someone whom no sane person would self-insert as, as that would mean acknowledging they have emotional problems like him.
From now on, his path to developing his life as a noble of high prestige and fame begins.
Ixion, well, what can I say? He spoke for himself. He wants to destroy humanity but protect Rudel at all costs. I think he's bipolar?
The three idiots, aka the main characters... the only important thing to say is about Liam. Starting from the next volume, he will begin his rise as the true protagonist after learning it was all a lie... hopefully.
Who is Bell?
Well, she's just a new AI that Rudel picked up; we'll have to see what she does in the future.
Erselica... oh, Erselica, Erselica, Erselica. Honestly, I didn't expect her to get this far, and even more so now that her truth has been revealed. It must also be said that she will be someone important for the second year, but she's in the kingdom, so I don't know how she'll help Rudel from her home?
By the way, did you imagine that she and Rudel were linked since the strange events of this volume or since the first one where he talks about that so-called cousin?
Other characters who also contributed something before the enemies.
The mentor, undoubtedly a great moral support.
The Bismarck family, men who from now on will become Rudel's family.
Jake, may he rest in peace.
Leonis... did he make Rudel a Count?
Eleonora, at this point you should be jumping with your crazy theories that she will be part of Rudel's brides. Only Rudel will say; I can't say anything.
Lecia, the woman who has received so much sexual harassment that I'm surprised she doesn't feel repulsed by Rudel. Undoubtedly a great heart, in a great royal bosom.
Will she also be conquered by Rudel? I doubt she likes receiving lewd looks from a teenager and wants Rudel to be Liam's stepfather; only the plot will tell.
Now, the enemies.
I think everyone wants to know what the hell the enemy coming in the next school year is; only the plot will tell. The same goes for that mysterious Cashmiro family.
The Kingsfort family, the minor antagonists with more role and certain antagonistic development that was undoubtedly seen. Franz is a man who wanted to take over that royal ship and unleash war. Klein, a main character of the game who was actually a spy for his family. A bit sad for Liam that his best friend was actually a lie.
Marquis Balzac, I'll be honest. I wanted to kill him in another way, but Rudel beat me to it. Then, I wanted to show his son, who was going to expose his father before the war and thus not become an enemy, although he was going to be one for the third year. Now to think of something else XD.
Dixit, was he an antagonist? Technically yes, he was going to be. I wanted to make a whole arc about him wanting to rape Airi after she became the Priestess and for a war to break out between Rudel and the sanctuary. Now I'll see where to put the attempted rape and bloody Rudel...
Bandel, before you say he's a copy from Otome mobu, he's not. His name is original and has meaning. Although you may not believe it, his name means obstinate, stubborn, unwilling to obey, not listening, renegade. A myriad of meanings to express this character, the first true villain of this story.
Did he satisfy you as an enemy?
Now, the last and most important of all, before moving on to the similar characters that appeared in this volume.
THAT.
Everyone wants to know what the hell THAT is; in fact, so do I.
A mysterious being that took 3 volumes to get involved and fight against our false protagonists.
Now that we're done with them.
Let's move on to the similar characters, from the least important to the most interesting for the fandom.
Leonis (Looks like Paul from Mushoku Tensei)
Franz (Looks like Gordes Musik Yggdmillennia from fate series)
Klein (Looks like Ollerus from Toaru Majutsu no Index)
Balzac (Looks like Pommel from Granblue Fantasy)
Diabolos (Devil in Latin/Avatar from Granblue Fantasy)
Master (Looks like Moriarty from fate series)
Siegwald (Looks like Vince from Mobuseka)
Vayne (Looks like Aglovale from Granblue Fantasy)
Rafiel (Looks like Cardinal from SAO)
Eleonora (Looks like Luvia from fate series)
Lecia (Looks like Hornet from Kancolle)
Clavis (Looks like Sig Curtis from full metal alchemist), Erselica's late father; whom I wanted to have funny moments with Rudel, but it won't be possible.

Now that you know how I imagine the characters that appeared here. Let's move on to the news for the next volume!
A new story focused on a new country.
New allies, new enemies. And mainly, new waifus!
The Aster arc will involve new characters who will be just as weird as Rudel.
New mysteries involving new countries.
Will Liam and Rudel be intertwined by fate?
Will they prevent darkness from taking over the light?
Will the mystery of two families involve Rudel in their lives?
Who the heck is Rugel, and what does Aster have to do with him?
Will the lives of two girls change forever when Rudel and Liam come into contact with them?
What the hell does the Priestess have to do with Aster? And more importantly, what is the Spirit of Light?
Without a doubt, the Aster arc will be a very extensive one. And with that, I bid you farewell; we'll see each other in Volume 4 of World Ixion/SAGA.
Not before telling you that a new story was born. A world centered on, what would happen if Rudel had reincarnated in a world he thinks is a game?
World Rudel/SAGA, a mysterious story involving Rudel in a strange fantasy world. Don't miss it!
