Ruler Vol 2 Afterword

Author: Anit666

Editor: Weasalopes

Hey guys, Anit666 here.

We are finally done with the second volume of Ruler. After this comes the third volume, March of the moving dolls, which would conclude this arc with a full blown war. Sam and the others faced a lot in this, while some of the characters even went through some radical changes in their personality.

But this is just the beginning. The characters are going to see Hell in the upcoming volumes.

I gave my all in this volume, but sadly, due to being busy with college and stuff, there were times when I couldn’t check the chapters before releasing them. As a result of this, typos and errors which could have been avoided appeared in the chapters. I sincerely apologise for that.

My favourite part in this volume was without a doubt the meeting between Sam and Balgaar. When I first started with this volume, that part wasn’t planned to go in this way. Balgaar was going to be a simple, mindless boss monster which Sam and Regina would have fought together. But well, the idea just didn’t click with me.

So I turned into something more convoluted. A meeting where a bit of Sam’s true nature is revealed. And surprisingly, this idea fit so well in the entire story that I had no choice but to go along with it. But the real question is, just which part revealed his true nature? You can only make guesses for now haha.

I think that part made for a nice little surprise. Usually, one expects the last boss monster to be evil. So I changed it up a bit to make Balgaar an anit-hero who was wronged by our MC. Did that surprise you? I sure hope it did. And if it didn’t, worry not! For more surprises are going to come your way.

The other part that I’m proud of is Chapter 23 and 24. Even that part wasn’t planned lol. That idea just came to me one day when I was trying to sleep. The more I thought about the sudden idea, the more I thought ‘This could work!’.

But to which character did those chapters relate, you ask? You’ll know that in volume 3. Though I’m sure most of you have already guessed the answer to that question.

Anyway, enough with my rambling. I think it’s time to end this volume.

I’m really thankful to you, the reader, for reading my novel. You give me the motivation to continuously improve.

A special thanks to my patrons and those who donated in the special sale marathon.

Also, thanks to my friends at LNT, you guys helped me a lot.

And I haven’t forgotten about you, Weasalopes. Thanks a lot for being the editor for Ruler! I, and the readers, of course, can finally say goodbye to those infuriating typos!

Now, since my exams are ongoing, I’ll leave this here and go study. Wish me luck guys, I need to score better this time. In fact, I have an exam in the next 5 hours, and I haven’t studied shit, and it’s 4 am here. Shit!

Well then, until we see each other again.
