[Opening System Boot-up… again.]
> "Yes, yes, we're back. Shut up, I know. Don't look at me like that, Reader. Author's the one who went AWOL again. And I, your dazzlingly dynamic MC, E ∞², was stuck in a temporal waiting room sipping expired dimensional tea while Author played 'adult responsibilities.'"
Author: "Hey! I was… busy. Also, I heard that."
> "Of course you did. I wrote that line for you."
Announcement 1: We Were Away
E steps onto a glitchy interdimensional stage, tapping a mic made of compressed plot devices.
> "So... where were we? Oh right. Not here. For like, a long-ass time. Life happened. I went through seventeen timelines, Author ghosted the keyboard, and one of us may or may not have gotten stuck in a 'Motivation Black Hole'."
Author: "That hole is deep, okay?"
> "Grow up and climb out, nerd. The readers missed us."
Announcement 2: The Big Update is HERE
> "Let's be real. We've been meme-ing through the cosmos, breaking loops, sipping espresso from black holes—but now? Now it's time for actual stakes. Actual stories. Epic adventures. Cosmic action sequences choreographed by multiversal martial arts experts who've seen too much anime. You heard me. We're going full narrative."
> "Each world, a real arc. Real emotional gut punches. Real power systems. Real goals. You'll cry. You'll laugh. You'll break the fourth wall with us."
The Triple Wheel System Begins Now
> "Let's talk mechanics, baby. We're introducing the 'Triple Wheel of WTF Destiny'."
Three cosmic roulette wheels descend from the skies like confused slot machines.
1. Wheel One – Personality Archetype
From stoic lone wolf to flamboyant tactician to morally ambiguous cinnamon roll.
2. Wheel Two – Power Type
Magic systems, power sets, energy cores, spiritual paths—all randomized. No infinite one-shot hacks unless earned.
3. Wheel Three – Goal Generator
From 'Become the Supreme Gentleman' to 'Seduce the Demon Queen to End a War' to 'Accidentally Found a Cult and Now I Run It.'
> "I'll spin them before each world. No cheating. No refunds. Every arc will have a plot and a meaning—no filler. No BS. Just quality chaos."
Announcement 3: Reader Appreciation & Author-MC Mutual Disrespect
Author: "Before we move on—I just want to say thanks. Like, seriously. I didn't expect this weird project to go anywhere. I was just an amateur with a half-baked idea—"
> "Still are."
Author: "—and I still am. Shut up, E. But we kept going. Because people read it. And Laughed. That matters. So, thank you."
> "Okay, now let's talk about the goddamn cover."
> "I mean, look at it! It's… it's there. Existing. Like a low-effort PNG slapped onto a dream. I look like I'm halfway through sneezing while falling into a poorly rendered wormhole."
Author: "Hey! I tried, okay?! I'm still an amateur. I made a full cover, like an actual full-decent one, and it STILL looks like someone did fan art using MS Paint and hope."
> "Hope? Bro, it looks like regret personified."
Author: "I don't know anything about design! I really don't! It's not working, and the platform won't let me upload anything better. If someone out there actually knows what they're doing… please help me. Message me. Send a telepathic pigeon. Something. Because I am out of skills and emotional bandwidth."
> "So yeah, dear readers. You're stuck with the current cover. For now. Blame Author. Or fate. Or marketing algorithms. Or just… close your eyes and imagine something better."
Announcement 4: The Upcoming Q&A
> "And lastly—yes, we heard you. Questions. Lots of them. About me, about the universe, about how this entire circus even exists. So guess what?"
Author: "We're doing a Q&A in Chapter 100."
> "We'll answer everything. Maybe even emotionally. Probably sarcastically. Definitely fourth-wall-breakingly."
Author: "You can drop questions in comments, messages, or just scream them into the void. We hear those sometimes."
> "And now… it begins. The real journey. The arcs. The worlds. The boss fights. The heartbreak. The laughs. The meta. The masterpiece. Let's rewrite existence together."
Cue epic orchestral score made entirely from dramatic anime soundtracks and glitchy jazz.
