"So I decided to follow Sirius. To the Ark, to create a pure land."
"Sirius said he could use Sequence powers to sense a world called Evil Land. That world is great, untouched by the apocalypse. He needs to further enhance his powers to establish a deeper connection with Evil Land, using it as a medium to create a safe world."
"I thought... if that's possible, then many people could be saved in the future, right?"
"We traveled together, crossed the seas, moving towards the Ark. But along the way, Sirius's injuries healed very, very slowly."
"He told me, Pisces's power is time... People always say time heals everything, but if time wants to kill you... how can it heal?"
"But Sirius is Sirius, after all. He eventually escaped the clutches of time."
"We finally reached the Ark. The captain of the Ark was very hospitable. This captain was incredible... He could tell at a glance that we were Ability Users! Just as Sirius described the qualified ones."
"After the apocalypse, Ability Users, if their hearts haven't faced immense negative emotional impact... if they haven't committed excessive killings, usually don't turn into monsters. Of course, that's not absolute."
"I seemed to be the kind that could still maintain a human form as a qualified one."
"Both Sirius and I were well-received as honored guests, and Sirius wished to stay low-key, so the captain didn't ask us to do anything."
"What we did every day seemed like healing. On the Ark, I began having relationships with various women."
"Yes, I'm an Ability User. I'm also an Ability User who can write stories. Damn, I don't even know how many descendants I've left in others' bodies."
"Okay, that's not the point. The point is, I started to realize that my life might be the protagonist of a story."
"Generally, this is how strange stories begin—In the Reversed Seven Apartments, a Demon King wanted to take my life, but I was the protagonist, and I ran away."
"Surviving a great disaster and encountering odd adventures, I immediately met An Rongzai, that dog who worshiped Sirius unconditionally. Yes, Sirius is definitely the kind of high-class material that would even be impressive in a novel story."
"Starting in a high-pressure environment, the protagonist escapes, then encounters a master... Isn't that the protagonist?"
"Then I embarked on various liaisons, isn't that what the protagonist does?"
"Of course, the protagonist must have a mission. I asked Sirius, and Sirius told me that the qualified ones are chosen by sequences. Different sequences descend on different people's lives."
"There are those with bitter fates, who are chosen by sequences like the Goddess of Suffering. There are gamblers, chosen by luck-based sequences. And there are those like you, who write in a dragging manner... who are chosen by dragging sequences."
"I see, I write excessively, with too much buildup and too short a climax. Like when a man does that thing. And my sequence, as interpreted by Sirius, is... similar to parallel sentence structures."
"I need to set up continuous obstacles. If I achieve them three times consecutively, starting from the fourth time, I can set up even greater obstacles, but correspondingly, I can also gain greater miracles."
"In the sequence positioning, Sirius told me this is a reversing sequence, a method to counter destiny. Meeting me, Sirius felt it was quite surprising."
"Simply put, I need to write stories... The plot of the story, initially not very difficult, but once the protagonist completes it several times, they can attempt something more challenging..."
"In books, the author can write whatever they want, but reality isn't like that. However, Sequence powers... can make reality produce possibilities."
"Hmm, let me talk about my practical test. I used Sequence power for that sort of thing. The first time, I wrote in a novel that the male lead lasted three minutes."
"The woman's face was full of disdain."
"But the second time, the male lead reached an impressive five minutes. Yet the woman was still not satisfied."
"The third time, the male lead broke through ten minutes, reaching the level of an average person. Of course, I'm talking about a friend of mine, not myself."
"The fourth time, according to Sirius, the fourth time can leverage power buildup to attempt a qualitative change."
"So the fourth time, I chose two hours, which is the average level of my readers."
"Hmm, the woman called me a pervert."
"This is the power of Sequence · Power Buildup. It made me go from three minutes to two hours."
"I also asked Sirius what he needed me to do. Sirius told me he needed to leverage my Sequence · Power Buildup to continuously build up and guide his power, to make the world he creates... grow in scale."
"Yes, the world Sirius created, although not small, couldn't sustain a civilization."
"Together, Sirius and I could create a city where all the survivors could live, avoiding the apocalypse."
"I succeeded. How could a protagonist not succeed!"
"I wrote our story, with Sirius and me as co-protagonists... I continuously leveraged Power Buildup, and in reality, Sirius kept surpassing himself."
"Everything got better. I even began to think that I could truly become a savior! What An Rongzai longed for but couldn't reach, I had from the start! I'm the one who will change the world."
"But then, the story began to take on a tragic turn."
