The Goddess's Might Saves the World - Chapter 11

So yeah, The Goddess’s Might Saves the World, my little isekai adventure light novel, has officially wrapped up.
LMAO.
The only reason this thing even exists is because someone on Bahamut (that Taiwanese gaming forum) once told me flat out that the only way to get clicks around here is with girls and might. They said my usual stuff about male protagonists just wasn’t competitive.
And honestly, they weren’t wrong. Shout out to the real ones, though.
For the record, comparing male-oriented, female-oriented, and general fiction, this one actually leans a bit more general than you might think.
I don’t really have any weird new light novel concepts I’m dying to start right now. What’s left in my backlog is either mature-rated stuff, some super ‘King’s Road’ (aka bog-standard) fantasy plots, or just simple travel logs. Nothing as wild as this Goddess book.
I mean, the whole premise is fighting people with assets. You can’t beat that.
I initially planned for 13 Demon Lords, but I realized that would drag on and get stale. The original idea was to match multiples for an anime season—like 13 or 26 episodes. But then I was like, wait… Dragon Ball can spend twenty episodes on one guy powering up. So I chopped down the number of enemies. I cut three of the less exciting, less important-looking bosses to make sure the ones that stayed were the brutal, high-octane fights.
It reminds me of the fighting games with story modes I played when I was a kid… specifically Touhou Hisouten: Soku (Touhou Unthinkable Natural Law). Some evangelist friend shoved the game disc at me back in the day (RIP). I think I played every Touhou game before 2012. That was basically my entire high school gaming life.
Anyway, I figured I had to write the big asset book eventually, so why not now?
The protagonist is an unnamed Hero, a cute, handsome kid. Why no name? Because he’s literally just some random guy I grabbed off the street. His destiny was always to be the sidekick, the supporting cast.
Heroes exist in every single world, in every timeline. A Hero can be any soft, young dude.
Creating a story is sometimes like cracking open your freezer and finding a mystery ingredient you forgot you stashed three years ago. You know eating it might kill you, but you’ve gotta know what it’ll taste like.
This book was that strange, spicy mystery ingredient.
And yet, somehow, when I cooked it up, it ended up smelling amazing and giving everyone a little kick!
Even though The Goddess’s Might Saves the World is over, I didn’t truly hit the ‘End’ button. Lumina is still cruising the cosmos, and the Hero’s flame is still sparking in a new universe.
That’s the best part of writing—the story never really dies, it just gets a re-skin.
We call that an open ending, folks.
Maybe, just maybe, she’ll pop up in front of you, the reader, one day.
Maybe ten years from now, I’ll pick up her pen again.
Maybe some new world, some new kid,
will look up and ask, “Who are you, exactly?”
When that happens, I hope I let him hear Lumina’s true answer:
Not a holy declaration from a deity, but a reflection of humanity itself:
“I am light, and I am fire.
I came from your fear,
and your courage is what makes me burn again.”
You are all now officially living in the Holy Might Timeline. You’re welcome, lol.
