…

The book has a deep red color, and the huge title "Noel Akinni" is clearly visible. The cursive characters have sharp edges and corners, and the ends of the characters are curled, like layers of golden lace.

There is a sun flower carving hanging on the spine of the book, and pure white feathers surround yellow pearls like a small sun.

This book is not thick. Compared with Yue Yue's books, which are extremely thin, Noel's life was too short. He died in April at the age of 26, just in the spring.

Su Mingan opened the book.

The text is concise and contains mostly things he already knows.

Noel was abandoned as a child and sent to a laboratory. After escaping, he was isolated because he was too smart and outstanding. He was later adopted by kind-hearted adoptive parents. He saw the corpses of his adoptive parents when the Ferris wheel reached the bottom, and was adopted again. Caught into the extremely painful hell of his childhood...

Being whipped, cut, and bled...

Is this what Noel says to him, "Did I have a happy childhood?"

Su Mingan flipped through the pages quickly, and the pain Noel experienced could almost overflow from the words.

…

["When I was a child, I often saw lavender all over the mountains and plains. Every time I saw them, my heart felt very peaceful and my mood would get better." Noel said: "The beauty I saw in my childhood must be yours too. To see. The warmth I felt in my childhood, you must feel it too. I hope you can get everything you missed in your childhood.”

["If you are lacking, I want to make you perfect."]

…

Was Noel's state of mind true at that time? Are these words sincere?

The answer should be "true".

But there is no point anymore. Today, "Noor Akinni" is just a sunk cost for him.

Su Ming'an decided not to recall these things, which delayed him a lot of time, and thinking about it further would only increase his troubles.

"Noel Akinni." Su Mingan stepped on the bright red blood and looked down.

The young man's golden hair was soaked in a pool of blood, wet and heavy, and the broken hair was dyed deep red, like the feathers of a dead bird.

Su Mingan knelt down and said softly:

"Noor Akinni."

In a daze, he seemed to hear Noel's reply.

……Um.

"I really want to live." Su Mingan said.

The cold corpse seemed to be responding to him.

……I know.

"I've always...wanted to live," Su Mingan said.

The bloodless blond head seemed to open its mouth and speak.

……Um. I know...I know...

"So." Su Mingan stood up and let the young man's body gradually float away with the ripples of the black water, getting further and further away from him...

"Bye now."

A crisp goodbye.

The black water surged and slapped his legs and feet, and he stood looking at it from a distance.

The golden hair became farther and farther away, and gradually disappeared between the layers of bookshelves.

Until Noel's figure disappeared completely, Su Mingan suddenly had a thought in his mind——

——"In this way, is it still an endless river?"

The golden tributaries drifted into the distance, and they finally no longer intersected.

Su Mingan quickly brushed away these thoughts about Noel, lowered his head and quickly flipped through the book, passing through Noel's life experience like a horse. In the past, he would have definitely put himself in his best friend's shoes and felt the pain. But now, Noel's past pain, past torture, past nightmares... have nothing to do with him.

He could no longer empathize with an... "enemy".

Turning "Noel Ajinni" to the end, Su Mingan saw the content at the beginning of the Eleventh World:

…

[The first time he entered the dungeon, Noel felt an extremely obvious sense of rejection—the original owner of this body was rejecting him. 】

["My name is Phoenix, and I am an ancient divine beast that is about to be born. You, an intruder from another world, leave my body immediately!" the original owner said proudly. 】

["Ancient mythical beast?" Noel looked at the nutrient solution soaked around him: "...Aren't you just an egg? How dare you threaten me?"]

[Noel sighed secretly, how could he possess such an identity, even his limbs were not fully developed, and his situation was really miserable. If I had known this, I might as well have chosen a strawberry tribe. I don’t know if Su Mingan is some kind of Queen of the Zerg tribe. I really want to see it. 】

[The two sides competed for a while, and finally reached an agreement: both parties share this body. Whoever is tired will take a break. 】

[Phoenix proposed that he could introduce the Lord of the End of All Things to Noel. 】

[In his dream, Noel met the Lord of the End of All Things, and the two of them ate French fries together. The Lord of the End of All Things gave Noel a red sharp blade. This object is called the "IP Modification Blade". As long as he stabs Su Ming'an with this object, Su Ming'an will lose his identity as a player and Noel can take his place. 】

[The Lord of the End of All Things seduced: "In the past, you were ranked second. When others saw Su Ming'an, they rarely saw you, as if you were just a supporting role for Su Ming'an. Don't you long to be the 'protagonist' yourself?"]

[Noel shook his head firmly: "Although I long for the new world, I don't want to stab my best friend. I won't want this sharp blade."]

[The Lord of the End of All Things said meaningfully: "Well, this is the first time after all, and it's normal for you to choose to refuse. However, as the number of times increases, as you understand more and more that your ideal is far away, as you become more and more desperate... you will do it sooner or later. I'm waiting for the time when you are willing to take the blade."]

[Noel said goodbye to the Lord of the End of All Things. He felt that even if he didn't cooperate with the high dimension, he could find a way to step onto the high dimension. ]

[He embarked on his first journey in Luowasha. ]

[On the way, he met the brave robot Lan Qie, the upright and heroic knight Qian Qin, and the guardian of order Hui Bai. ]

[Under the world tree, Noel met Su Ming'an. As a newborn Lin tribe, Su Ming'an enjoyed the favor and awe of the entire Luowasha. The world tree appointed him as the only protagonist. He was just like a brave man, leading everyone to prepare to fight against the Lord of the End of All Things. ]

[Seeing Noel, Su Mingan invited him: "Noel, do you want to join us? It just so happens that the position of military advisor is still vacant."]

[Noel nodded: "Okay."]

[However, Noel died on the morning of the 8th day.]

[The demonized sea angel launched a sneak attack and stabbed Noel to death in order to cut off the left and right arms of the "protagonist of Luowasha".]

[Noel, who had not yet found the high-dimensional road, died just like that.]

[Su Mingan was too late to rescue him. He had too many things to consider and did not discover Noel's death in the first place.]

[On the 10th day, the red sun fell.]

...

[On the second journey, Noel found that he actually retained the memory of the first time - he immediately realized that this was the Lord of the End of All Things intentionally letting him retain his memory. 】

【He quickly went to the World Tree and told Su Mingan: "Su Mingan, we have reset it once. This time you must prepare for the red sun on the tenth day in advance."】

【Except for Noel, no one retained their memories, but Su Mingan believed Noel's words: "Okay, tell me in detail what happened on the first journey."】

【After discussion, the two still decided to stand on the side of the World Tree. Su Mingan used his identity as a Rin tribe to devour infinitely and evolve continuously. 】

【However, Noel still died. 】

【He died on the night of the 7th day. The Demon Mother Goddess suddenly came to his room. She just glanced at him lightly, and the endless negative emotions overwhelmed Noel. Noel's whole body grew purple-black tentacles and turned into an indescribable tentacle body. 】

【——Noel, who had not touched the high-dimensional road, could not resist even a glance from the gods. 】

【At this time, Su Mingan was in the temple of the Mother Goddess of Dawn and could not return to help. 】

【On the 10th day, the red sun came, and Su Mingan joined many gods to support the space barrier. However, the space barrier cannot resist the increase of entropy. 】

【Si Que Olivers opened the book again and started all over again. 】

…

【On the third journey, Noel still retained the memories of the first two times. 】

【The pain of the last death remained in his heart, the pain of having tentacles all over his body... He definitely didn't want to experience it a second time. 】

【He realized that he was the only one among the 500 million players who could retain his memory. 】

【He entered the dream and questioned the Lord of the End of All Things: "You have been helping me retain my memory just to force me to turn against you?" 】

【The Lord of the End of All Things chewed French fries and smiled: "Why force me? I just want you to see the facts clearly, so that you understand that even if you start over again and again, you can only be like an ant, dying powerlessly again and again." 】

【"Do you feel it? That kind of powerlessness in despair. The light sword of the sea angel, the casual glance of the demon mother goddess... can make you die without a burial place." 】

【"You are not the protagonist, no adventure has befallen you, no white-haired gods have favored you, and there is no magical gold Finger. Everything you have can only be created by yourself, there is no shortcut. And the slightest accident will cost you your life, completely interrupting all your careful considerations and ambitions. "】

【"Noel Ajinni. Humans are so fragile."】

【"--But now, I am your 'golden finger'"】

【"Use me."】

【"You only need to stab Su Ming'an once, and I will be willing to help you fight back, help you move to a higher dimension, and become the only star."】

【Noel: "..."】

【Noel: "Your fries are pretty delicious."】

【The Lord of the End of All Things knew that this was Noel's rejection. He smiled softly: "Okay, you still have some stubbornness left. It doesn't matter, I'll wait two or three more times and come to you again."】

【Noel: "..."】

【Noel went to the World Tree and found Su Ming'an and told him everything. The two decided not to stand on the side of the World Tree this time, but to find the man behind the Disciple Game-Boss Rabbit.】

【Boss Rabbit happily accepted the two's joining. Before the Red Sun descended, they completed the construction of the Disciple Game, which was equivalent to a small world that could help them avoid the destruction of the Red Sun. 】

【However, the Red Sun still burned the Disciple Game, and all the members were killed. 】

【The third journey ended here. 】

…

【The fourth journey began, and Noel and Su Mingan decided to seek help from the World Master. 】

【Together, they studied the player's data panel, reward mechanism, and task chain, trying to avoid the Red Sun from the perspective of separating from the player's IP... The World Master was extremely smart, and Su Mingan and the World Master gradually became friends who could talk about anything. 】

[The Lord of the World seemed to sense the aura of the Lord of the End of All Things in Noel, and excluded Noel intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at Su Mingan and the Lord of the World communicating enthusiastically, Noel once again felt a strange feeling. ]

[——No, no. ]

[——If we continue like this... can we really avoid the red sun? ]

[It seems that this road is still wrong, but where is the right road? Noel found that until this fourth journey, they were still like flowers in the fog, and they didn't get to the truth at all. ]

[——He couldn't stay with Su Mingan anymore. ]

[It's not that he wants to give up Su Mingan, but he realized that if he continues like this, he will probably fail. As the protagonist of Luowasha, Su Mingan has too many things to do, which makes it impossible for Su Mingan to explore the truth freely, but Noel is different. ]

["I'm leaving." Noel found Su Mingan. ]

["Okay." ]

[The two had a brief exchange. 】

【They all knew that if Noel left to explore the truth about Lovasa, he would most likely die. But the next time he resets, Noel will be able to bring back important information. 】

【Death is just a means for them to seek information. 】

【Soon, Noel found the fun demon Casadia. 】

【In the dark castle, Noel took out a bullet and loaded it into the revolver, and said with a smile: "Casadia, I heard that you are a god who proves your truth with fun. Do you want to have some fun with me?"】
