Chapter 49: The Meaning of Tragedy

"As for the later story..."

Ren Amamiya thought for a moment and told the truth: "People will die. The general plot is that everyone will slowly die, and only Lucy and Falco will survive."

Haruto Yamamoto was surprised to hear this.

But knowing that Lucy would survive in the end, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, some clues could be seen in Pira's death.

The plot of "Edgerunners" is that people will die, but he didn't expect Ren Amamiya to be so ruthless.

Haruto Yamamoto still had some premonitions.

Isn't it normal for important characters to die in the entertainment world?

There's nothing to be surprised about...

Ayumi was behind Ren Amamiya and was a little stunned to hear this.

"Wait..."

However, Haruto Yamamoto suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Amamiya-san, you said only Lucy and Falco will survive, what about David?" he asked, wide-eyed.

"He will also die."

Ren Amamiya shrugged. "There are no living legends in Night City."

Everyone present was shocked. In fact, besides Haruto Yamamoto, there were some fans of "Edgerunners".

They were all relatively young, like Haruto Yamamoto and Kenji Nakamura.

No one could bear Ren Amamiya's cruel words.

"But... isn't David the protagonist?" Haruto Yamamoto said in disbelief.

"It's the death of the protagonist that makes this world crueler."

Ren Amamiya sighed and said: "The truth is, I don't understand it, but it's true. There are no living legends in Night City."

He is not the original author and has not designed this plot.

He doesn't want to change it due to personal preference.

And if it's really given a happy ending, the score of "Edgerunners" won't be that high, will it?

"But I still can't accept it..."

Haruto Yamamoto, visibly moved, said: "Can't we... let David survive?"

"I'm sorry... I can't."

Ren Amamiya shook his head and said: "But if this game can be produced and sold..."

"Then everyone can help David take revenge, no problem."

He suddenly thought of this: if everyone saw the ending of "Edgerunners".

And right at that moment, "Cyberpunk 2077" was released.

It was also known that "Cyberpunk 2077" includes Arasaka Tower and Adam Smasher.

Will indignant manga fans buy "Cyberpunk 2077" and go to Arasaka Tower to beat Adam Smasher?

By then... wouldn't the game sales have soared? For now,

even though Ren Amamiya hasn't drawn the final episode of "Edgerunners".

But, according to the current serialization pace, there are still over 20 episodes left, and the bi-weekly magazine will take more than ten months to complete.

The serialization will finish next year.

With more than a year, with the memory of the previous life and the System's help, it should be possible to complete the development, right?

"Is there any culprit who killed David in the game we created?" Haruto Yamamoto asked, gritting his teeth with a grim expression.

"Of course, what we have to do is reproduce the Night City of "Edgerunners" on a 1:1 scale. Not to mention the division of forces, even the street scenes must be perfectly reproduced!"

Ren Amamiya asked:

"Then how about we continue to choose David as the player character?" Haruto Yamamoto asked. "That way players can control David and take revenge in person."

"Huh? This."

Ren Amamiya was stunned for a moment, but still shook his head: "No, this is too repetitive with the plot of "Edgerunners". I suggest creating a new player character."

"Forget it... We'll talk about it later."

He thought for a moment and said: "How about we meet at your company later?"

"Okay... Then come to our company to talk about the details of game development," Haruto Yamamoto said.

"Okay, then I'll go back first."

Ren Amamiya stood up and said.

He had been here for a long time, and Pochita was still waiting for him downstairs.

Pochita couldn't wait too long.

"I'll see Amamiya-san off," Ayumi quickly said, looking sad behind him.

Ren Amamiya followed Ayumi downstairs.

Pochita had been waiting for a long time and was visibly a little depressed.

But upon seeing Ren Amamiya and Ayumi appear, she immediately cheered up.

She stood up from the ground and wanted to run towards Ren Amamiya.

However, the leash on her neck was tied to the handle and pulled back.

Seeing this, Ren Amamiya quickly loosened it and touched Pochita's head.

"Woof, woof!" Pochita barked excitedly.

"Hello, Pochita!" Ren Amamiya said with a smile: "Let's go home!"

"Woof, woof!" Pochita responded.

"Okay, Ayumi-san, Pochita and I will go back first."

Ren Amamiya smiled and turned to look at Ayumi.

However, his face froze.

At that moment, Ayumi's eyes filled with tears, and she looked even more depressed than Pochita.

"What... what happened?" Ren Amamiya asked cautiously.

Ayumi took a deep breath and said with all her might: "Nothing..."

Ren Amamiya blinked, and suddenly thought of something.

"Is it... because I said David would die?" he tried to ask.

Ayumi instantly fell silent and just looked at Ren Amamiya.

It was clear that she was very sad about that.

"Amamiya-san... why do you have to draw David dead?"

Then Ren Amamiya heard her somewhat depressed voice.

Ren Amamiya shook his head: "Actually, I don't want to draw David dead..."

To be honest, he was a manga fan before.

When he saw the "Edgerunners" animation, he also felt very sad about David's death.

Not only David, but also Rebecca, Maine, Dolio, and even Gloria, David's mother, were very sad.

When he was a manga fan, he also hoped that David and Lucy would have a good ending.

After watching "Edgerunners" all at once, he also became very emotional.

Then, he played the game he hadn't been online for a long time and beat Adam Smasher!

Now Ren Amamiya draws this "Edgerunners" in a parallel world. He seems to have the ability to change the plot and the ending.

But... is it really good for him to do this?

No, it's not good.

There's no benefit, except that he'll feel very happy.

It is said that tragedy makes people remember a work, especially a reasonable tragedy.

But if the plot and ending are changed,

"Edgerunners" will become an ordinary work, and David, Lucy, and Maine will no longer be remembered.

The original meaning of "Edgerunners" will also be lost.

So he cannot manipulate the plot for his own selfishness.

"The greatest meaning of tragedy itself is for people to remember it. I hope... that everyone remembers this work and David Martinez's name, so that he remains alive in everyone's hearts."

"Instead of living in the tragic world of Night City."

Ren Amamiya sighed and said: "I also know that what I'm doing is like a bastard and an old rogue who would do anything to increase sales."

"But I have to do it. I'm sorry, Ayumi."

Then he shook his head and left the manga company with Pochita.
