Thanks for reading, everyone! This story has been a massive trip for me, and the first time I’ve ever written this much before! At least collectively. All of those college writing classes that made me churn out BS essays on random topics don’t count, but they did help me prepare for this! Anyway, I had a lot of fun writing this, and I hope you all had even more fun reading it!
So, what’s going to happen now? I’ll be going on a several week long hiatus to recharge my creative juices, since I’m pretty burned out after getting all of this out. After that, I’ll be planning out the next story and working on a semi-canonical and nonsensical story about a decent guy who ends up in a World out of a lecherous adultery fantasy. But don’t worry! It’s based on my frustrations of running into so many stories that feature it when the synopsis paints an otherwise compelling narrative, so there’s not really going to be many dirty deeds or any adultery the main character participates in himself.
Right, so that’ll probably take 3 weeks to a month, and I also plan to get started editing the entirety of this story to fix any outstanding issues people have pointed out in reviews and comments, as well as making the early chapters better overall. If you have anything you’d like changed, let me know! Anything you think could’ve been better or what you want me to keep at all costs, please let me know! Each and every comment about this, no matter how small or silly you might think it is, will be absolutely imperative for me to make the story better! So please, give me whatever ideas for improvements/thinks you want to stay the same you can think of!
The next main series story will be about Kai Freeman, and his exploration of TOAL itself! It’ll be a bit of slice of life and world building, with plenty of character development with plenty of action and mystery, since this is still TOAL and there’s now a multiversal war getting started! I’ll be posting the first few chapters of it here to let you all know when it’s started, but feel free to follow me as an author or check the discord for when my new stories drop!
Join the discord for updates and to talk to me directly! I’ll listen in on any discussion and take any suggestions, so feel free to join in just to talk! I’m also commissioning more fan art that I’ll end up posting there, so join for that too! Or join to post your own fan art! I’m still hopeful for the day people start making their own fanworks based on this story! (Hey, I can dream, can’t I?)
So until next time, see you all later!

Thanks for the chapter.
Man this story is awesome. I hope we get to see them world ending weapons, tech department must be happy they got unshackled and are now free to go wild again. I knew you'd use Kai as the new fresh pair of eyes in TOAL. Art and Neit is a chill couple and who knows they still might get to share the sack when noone is still trying to fight a multiversal war. Liked the fact they didn't do the emotional trope of ending up together that easy. Better friends first than lovers that quick, heck Art even said he might've a new bffs. Just give me the earthlings that survived and triumph hellscapes and warworlds.
"I am become death, the destroyer of worlds. "😇 TOAL inspiration quote for the R and D team.
@markos It's going to be more apt than you can believe
The only improvement to this story I can think of is if Artyom and Neitra became a couple, they're so cute together (this is a joke and the story is fine as is).
Scout's right, they are adorable together! But she already said she's not interested, and I really wanted to see a story where the man-woman protagonists stay platonic and enjoy their close friendship instead.
Thanks for reading the story!
@Vnator The possibly/currently platonic route, AKA the Pacific Rim method, also there was only one Pacific rim movie and nothing came after it, sad right.
@markos Agreed, it'd be nice if Del Toro made a sequel
@Vnator there were 2 movies right? The good 1st one and the shitty 2nd. Also will there be isekaied people in mecha war world like Rayearth?
@Balgas Yup, there were technically 2 movies, 1 good and 1 bad, but Del Toro didn't have anything to do with the 2nd.
And as for isekaid people in a sci-fi mecha world? There will be now! (I have to fit it into the technology level at TOAL, though)
@Vnator I respect you for the platonic relationship. It's a rare thing to see and nice to see done.
That being said, I still totally ship Artyom and Neitra. They just go together great.
@Zilfallion thanks! I have to agree with you and everyone else in that respect, they would be great together, but I'll just have to see how things go with the next book that features best girl (tm)
