How a Realist Hero Rebuilt The Kingdom Book 17: Afterword

Book 17: Afterword

Afterword

Thank you for buying Volu 17 of Realist Hero. Its Dojyomaru.

This volu is about the Demon Lords Domain and how this world ca to be.

When I first started writing this story, I thought about how to co up with a reason for all the elents of the world that I was glossing over with its a galike world. If its a world of swords and sorcery, with a variety of races, existing in reality outside the ga...what situation could result in that? What I ca up with was an abandoned test site. A world where nanomachines would allow the creation of magic-like effects, and various races were created, abandoned, and their purpose forgotten. My ideas about this were influenced by Fujiko F. Fujios short story Rounenki no Owari (Old Ages End).

I thought a situation like the one Ive described in the main story of Realist might result in a galike world. But to think it would take seventeen volus of buildup to get there... You can see how important the ability to gloss over important information is because of a shared understanding of how things work in the default setting. In our current society, where were expected to interface with a lot of entertainnt quickly, those sorts of default settings have reached their peak.

Now, Id like to thank my readers, and everyone involved with this book.
