Actually, this book was not originally called The Fateful Ring, and Lumian was not sure whether he would become a "dancer" and follow the path of fate.
At that time, Qidian asked me for the title of the book. I thought of a few in a conventional way, but they were not satisfied with any of them and rejected my names. In a fit of anger, I decided to name it according to a mysterious routine. So I picked a few better-sounding ones from the set Outer Gods' Way, The Old Days and Sequence 0, and threw them to them, letting them choose for themselves.
What I didn’t tell them is that the name they choose will determine which Outer God’s gift Lumian will receive, and will determine certain subsequent plot arrangements and corresponding entry points.
Then, they picked "Ring of Fate". When I saw it, I thought, wow, this is quite suitable for the hunter, and it seems that it may solve my troubles with a key plot in the later stage.
At that moment, the whole line suddenly became clear to me. This seemed more feasible than the other path I preferred.
Maybe, this is fate.
"The Ring of Fate" was born in this way by the arrangement of fate.
As the second part of the mystery series, the writing of Fate has its own unique difficulties:
First, the general worldview has been deciphered, and it is no longer possible to follow the rhythm of slow exploration and slow development like the first volume of the mystery. There must be something new and other attractions.
Secondly, with the backdrop of so many popular characters in Secret, whether it is the protagonist Lumian or other characters in Fate, they will inevitably be under great pressure. With such a good example in front of them, they will always be looked at in a comparative way. From the beginning, I did not want Lumian to have the same personality and gentleness as Xiao Ke. He should have his own experiences, with both good and bad sides in his personality. So I chose the Hunter and chose a start that was polluted by the Outer Gods.
Up to now, the first Nightmare has initially expanded the worldview and presented some things related to the Outer Gods. I said that I was not rehashing old ideas by writing the second part of the Mystery series, but there are really many sequences that have not been written in detail, many countries that have not been specifically described, and many new things that have not been said. When I was setting up the Outer God paths, many places made me feel very excited and interesting. Moreover, while doing it, I was thinking about how such things should be presented in the Western Continent and in an Eastern background.
Okay, let's get back to the topic. Up to now, everyone can see that Fate, while inheriting the framework of Mystery, has its own things and its own rhythm. There are many new characters who will interact with a large number of Mystery characters and complete new stories together.
I dare not say that I will be able to write excellently, but I can guarantee that I will put all my energy and passion into my work, because this is also a brand new challenge for me.
Always writing the same thing will make me bored and cause aesthetic fatigue. I remember I once said that I hope to always remember eight words in my writing career, "Never be satisfied, always challenge."
Now, I am ready to take on this challenge.
