Lihan: "Epilogue"
Characters, original story and additional illustrations by: Ratatatat74 đź’€.
Following "Ending 5: A Birth of a Legendary Party" from the previously mentioned author’s work "Bad Ending Party", Ashe and Rei are recruited by an adventurer to undertake a perilous quest to slay a Tyrant Ice Troll—a raid so dangerous that Lihan can’t participate. Ashe and Rei reassure their friend that they’re taking on the quest to earn something valuable for him. However, something changes dramatically during that mission with the adventurer, for when Ashe and Rei return 2 months after, they are vastly different from who they once were. Formerly fueled by a thirst for adventure and a shared goal of helping Lihan become a great warrior, they now seem consumed with a single purpose: to bring pleasure to the new member of their party, Samuel.
Day by day, something within Lihan’s spirit begins to break as he sees his friends turned into whores, and his relationship with them deteriorates. Eventually, Ashe and Rei convince him to sign his own dismissal from the party, using terms too degrading and humiliating, taking advantage of his vulnerability and weakening grip on common sense, caused by their seductive and tempting actions against him. Not only do they cast him out, but they also warn him to stay away, with Rei even adding a death threat to solidify their rejection.
After everything he went through, Lihan had become known as the "weak cuck" around the adventurers’ guild. Other adventurers found it amusing to mock him whenever he crossed their paths, turning his humiliation into a public joke. The constant ridicule brought Lihan to a breaking point—but instead of succumbing to despair, he mustered every ounce of his courage and resolved to reclaim his honor and pride.
With determination, he fought through formidable foes: goblin hordes, a cunning old sorcerer with an Egyptian nemes, a smug prince with a "collection" of enslaved women, and even a ruthless ring of slavers. Each one fell at his feet, victories that marked his rise, achieved by himself or with the help of others. Now, as an S-class warrior, Lihan can finally savor his hard-earned freedom, enjoying drinks and games in a casino, a well-deserved celebration after his relentless climb to the top.
2b2d yapping:
I wanted to give this character a "good ending" for closure, with his resolve tested and his virtue prevailing—much like in *Darkest Dungeon* (which looks like a fun game, though I've only seen gameplays of it).
This doesn’t exactly have a story or a mission. The initial message does involve Lihan’s ex-friends and Samuel, but as the user, you can take it in any direction: kill them, convince Lihan to ignore them and make your own adventures, or whatever else.
And with this one, I think I’ll leave Lihan to rest in peace. I’m unsure if I’ll do another bot based on any of Rat’s works. I don't consume most of the media Rat draws characters from (like *LoL* or *MHA*), so I don't think I would be doing a bot about Mirko or the girls from KDA, for example.
I tried to focus more on characters from his (or hers?) original works, but now I'm not sure which character I could use without just creating another Lihan or Sato. In any case, what I will do post will be more OCs of my own... eventually. Maybe I could use characters from other sources, but only time can tell if I do so or not.
