MTL - Chang’an Small Restaurant - Chapter 72 The hero who saves beauty

I’m a high school student who became an author after debuting at Dengeki Bunko. After taking a year of hiatus from school to write my work, I transferred out to another high school to study, and met a girl called Eri Nitadori in school, a rookie voice actress cast as a character in the anime adaptation of my work.

In school, we treat our professions as a secret. However, Nitadori’s very popular in class, and I’m a loner…the only chance we get to talk to each other is when we take the Limited Express train together every Thursday, seated side by side as we head off for an anime, After Recording.

To improve her skills, she asked me questions regarding the profession. While I was answering the questions regarding the process–how did it end up like this.

This is what I last remembered before I lost consciousness, and the story of my near-death experience.

Strange occurrences arrive, the terrifying world merges with the Real World.Humans fall from the top of the food chain to the bottom.In a single night, humans become the blood food of these evil spirits.In times of desperation, those with tattoos gain power beyond imagination from their patterns.They are called Life Pattern Masters.Some have inscribed Buddha, using Buddha's Radiance to protect a city.Some have inscribed executioners, cutting down countless Evil Spirits.Lin Yuan, once struggled for three years in the world after the doomsday arrived, suddenly traverses back to before the apocalypse.In this lifetime, he is determined not to be an ordinary person.Thus, he inscribes the entire Underworld onto his life.Black and White Impermanence.Ox Head and Horse Face.Four Great Judges.Ten Yama Kings.Ksitigarbha, Ghost Catcher Zhong Kui.Emperor Fengdu.Lord of Mount Tai.........

Short, rich, and handsome, Lin Feiran was always the center of attention. But after transferring schools in his second year of high school, he discovered that his limelight was snatched by his Adonis classmate, Gu Kaifeng.

He became the Emperor when he was just a boy and was beheaded before reaching adulthood. It was a tragedy brought about by his fate as the first noble wizard.“Ian, don’t be born in your next life.”He thought everything was over, listening to the traitor’s heartless words. He knew, but…“You are a symbol of peace. Where else would you find such honor as a lowly one?”He became the Margrave’s bastard son, whose family went extinct 100 years ago.A lowly, unsophisticated one, destined to be sold as a hostage to the barbarians across the border.
