Lord of Annihilation

Announcement! [Don't read before reading Vol 1]

99 chapters and 150k words later, we are finally here. The end of the first volume. I know it wasn't perfect but I think I've improved as I continue to write. (or that's what I like to think to avoid being depressed.)

I thank all the readers who have followed the novel this far. Your support, reviews, tips, everything had helped me to improve as an author. A special thank you to those readers who point out my typos and grammatical errors. You're the real MVP.

Continuing with the vote of thanks, I would like to thank the platform, my family, the first readers.....

"Shut up." a cold voice interrupted.

.....Who's that?

"Stop being so longwinded and just get to the point!" a cold, mechanical voice continued. The tone was indifferent with a slight hint of killing intent mixed within it.

Just as the author was confused about the series of events, a spatial rift tore open within his room.

Chaotic streams of energy flowed from within the spatial rift, as all the objects within the room started to fly backward. A sharp jarring sound was heard as the wind tore through the room.

The Author, who was sitting on the chair felt the ferocious stream of energy directly hit him and throw him backward. Just as he was about to fly up, a long slender arm caught hold of his body.

"Stop wasting time and get to the announcement." he heard an indifferent voice speak to him from within the void.

Followed by the appearance of the slender arm, was the rest of the body. A slender but strong body, 1.9m in height cloaked entirely in black robes. Well, except for his eyes. One golden and the other crimson.

With the appearance of this person, the author lost his cool.

"Lu..Lu...Lucius!" the author felt his voice tremble. He was unsure whether the trembling was due to fear or excitement. Either way, the other party did not seem to care.

Lucius' body finally exited the spatial rift and the crack was sealed behind him. The chaotic streams of energy disappeared and the room regained its peace.

If not from the scattered objects within the room, one would start questioning the author's sanity. If he was to mention this scene to others, of course.

The author's body shivered. Pointing his trembling finger at the black robbed man, he quipped.

Yo...you? Why are you here?

"Why wouldn't I be here? Isn't this announcement about my story? Speaking about the announcement, you should start talking." Lucius indifferently shrugged his shoulders.

I was! Before I was rudely interrupted!

The author seemed furious. Alas, Lucius did not seem to care.

"Still wasting time. Are you intentionally speaking such crap, just to increase your wordcount? If yes, then you're even worse a monster than I am." saying so Lucius gave the author a disgusted look.

You!! The author felt his face turning red in anger. He was truly furious.

How dare a mere character of mine posses the audacity to look down on me!

Just as he was about to admonish Lucius, he felt a trace of [Killing Intent] leak from the other party's body. Similar to a balloon deflating, the author felt all his anger dissipate into thin air.

Having given up, he finally started his announcement.

?????? ? ???? ????? ???? ????????, ??? ?? ????????. ?????? ??? ????? ?????? ???????, ?? ???? ??? ?? ????. ????? ??????? ???? ????? ?? ?? ???????? ???? ?? ?? ???? ??????? ??? ????? ??? ????? ?? ?? ?? ?????? ???.

??? ??????? ???? ???? ?? ???? ?? ????? ?????????/??? ???????. ?????? ?'? ????-???? ????. ???? ????, ????? ???? ?? ? ??????? ?? ? ???????/???. ????? ???????? ??? ??? ???? ???? ?? ????????? ?????.

? ???? ??? ???? ????????? ????????? ??? ???????.

There I'm done. Are you satisfied?

The author shot a disgruntled look towards Lucius.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" his tone seemed to turn colder and harsher.

Feeling the danger to his life, the author immediately started to browse through his memories.

What is it?! What did I miss?!! Ah, That's it!

I was thinking of having a ?????????? ???????! under this chapter, naming your favorite character from the story (and maybe what you would like them to become?)

While you type, just remember to follow this pattern:

[Name of Character] - whatever you like and want them to be.

This way, it makes it easier for me to tally the votes.

The top character with the highest amount of votes will get a special auxiliary chapter, with a 3000-word side story! (it won't affect the future plot). This way you would be able to learn more about your favorite character!

There that should be it, right?

Lucius directly nodded his head.

Just as the author was about to let a sigh of relief, he heard Lucius talk. Hearing his words, the author's body froze.

"I don't understand why you want to recount my story to these 'insignificant vermin'. Do they not have a life to live? Oh, I'm sorry that was a rhetorical question. They wouldn't be here if they ever had a life."

With a look that seemed to suggest that he pitied them, he sincerely spoke.

"Pitiful worms, rather than read about another person's life and wish you could be them. I suggest getting a rope and h...."

SHUT UP! Stop talking! Nobody asked you about anything!

At this instant, the author seemed to overcome his fear of death! He directly pounced upon Lucius and used both his hands to cover his mouth.

That's it for the announcement! Don't forget to read the Author's Thought!
