Awesome!

somehow the pic and my fic switched places.....

Happy Birthday, Dokja!

The Wallpaper available at Munpia illust_event:

The event would go on from 15th to 16th. I don't know much about it. But apparently a Dokja figurine is on the way-

This would be my first time celebrating his birthday after getting into the famdom.

I mean, he is my favourite character already, at this point. One of the best characters and story that I've come across! I'm really glad that I read this novel! * sheds tears *

I kinda wrote a fic:

Yeah, I know, not good. But oh well.

P.S: The irony that his birthday falls on Singles Awareness Day... Also, he might be 30 now...

Wow it is so rare to see Wolf making realistic art instead of his usual deal.

Yuuram in Novel 8

And with this we end the Caloria arc. May I remind you that yuuram had been absolutely lowkey up to this point (this novel included), and that the real yuuram is about to come? Anyways, it’s so nice to re-read these parts… yuuram is mostly ignored after the cliff scene in this arc, and there are so many more scenes.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.1 -You’ll have to forgive this brotherly love bit-

Wolfram’s jaw muscles moved almost imperceptibly. “I agree. That guy is my brother(ani).” Brother? Did he just say “brother”? Although he is normally very composed, sometimes he would say things so surprising that I almost get a heart attack.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.2 -Fighting-

“What’s going on, Caloria’s representative? You want to end the game in such a boring way? I thought you were a man, that’s why I proposed a fair and square showdown. But if you prefer to act like a timid little girl and chicken out, oh, that would be so disappointing.”(…)

“Yuuri, don’t worry,” Wolfram called out to me. “I won’t call you henachoko if you give up!”

“Shibuya, listen to your fiance!” Screamed Murata. “No one will blame you, I promise! When we get back to Japan, I’ll treat you to rice with grilled pork ribs! So give it up! You have fought enough!”

Really, had I? Had I tried my utmost in this match?(…)

That is the problem with using bat as weapon, there is no middle ground to negotiate. I should have listened to Wolfram’s advice and chosen a sword. If only I could point my sword at him, I might be able to force him to surrender.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.5 -Yuuri was willing to drink alcohol …again. Even if it wasn’t by sheer luck-

Before I could say that I don’t drink alcohol because I’m a sportsman, Wolfram, Josak, and I were each handed their own cup. It was a stone liqueur glass with a stem. The amount inside was less than my mother uses for cooking so I gave up.

“That is the ceremonial water known as the Holy Water of Gillesby.”

Luckily, it wasn’t alcohol.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.5 -Wolfram’s emotions flowing right into Yuuri-

“I ended up calling him that. My previous master always told me not to refer to him as His Majesty.”

To think that wish would be granted like this.

“As for you… I intend to strive to not call you that as well.”

Murata is looking at me. He’s probably worried that I’ll lose my cool and explode. Wolfram took a half a step towards me and leaned his shoulder against my left arm. It was as if his body heat that had suddenly risen with his emotions was flowing right into me.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.5 -Random praises-

“What, Yu-… Norman Gilbit?” Wolfram corrects himself by using the full name in an unnatural way. The problem is that he’s too beautiful to play the part of a stray mazoku mercenary hired by a human.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.5 -Equals, and Yuuri worrying-

Wolfram, likely having feelings the most similar to mine out of everyone else here, was staring me straight in the face. He slowly unclenches his fists, spreads his fingers and folds his arms with deliberate movements. Standing with his back slightly arched, his left foot is pointing toward Lord Weller. I’m kind of relentless with this, but is his back alright?

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.5 -I’m dying, Wolfram was the one convincing him to not take the box. How did I miss this!?-

“Is it okay for the spoils of that being Conrart who disappeared?”

“But Wolf…”

“I feel the same.”

Of course he feels the same. His beloved brother is serving the person in power of an enemy country. It’s probably painful that he’s not trying to come back. If he could, as a little brother he would probably like to use the power of the victor to drag him back home even by force.

“But that’s not our right. It’s the right of the man whose mask you’re wearing.”

No, to say it more precisely, it is the right of those who live in Caloria and love it.

“If you’re saying that getting the box is for Conrart, then that’s a misunderstanding on your part. Don’t forget whose victory this is. Don’t forget who you are.”

That’s right. If I decided to play the part of someone else, I have to play it perfectly until the curtain comes down. The laurels that Norman Gilbit has gained belong to the people of Caloria. If I want honor, it is for his country. If I want the box, it has to be for the people.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.6 -more praising-

Unlike me, Wolfram is a certified pretty boy so no matter what outfit he wears it looks good on him. Even so, it’s a surprisingly simple and normal outfit for him.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.6 -Yeah, go talk to Wolfram -

At that moment I finally felt several gazes upon me. They weren’t from the people dancing nearby. Those people were completely indifferent. They were engrossed in politics and dancing. Then the gazes were probably those of my guardian Josak and my overseer Wolfram. Looking around in all directions… over there. The third son was standing by the southern window visibly disgruntled. He had a glass in each hand and both of them were empty.

“Flynn, Wolfram is over there so go have a chat with him.”

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.6 -A little input from Murata’s POV-

“I followed you because it would be dangerous for you to go walking around by yourself, but… I’m worried that His Majesty might do something annoyi-… perform a deed that commoners would never think of. I informed His Excellency Wolfram about the situation before I left, but despite appearances he’s like that too… Oh, honestly! To think guarding His Majesty and Your Highness at the same time would be so difficult!”

“Yeah, leaving Shibuya and Lord von Bielefeld together will be a lot more fun~.”

“That’s not what I-”

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.8 -Yuuram and T-zou scene-

“Yuuri!”

“I’m here.”

Looking relieved at hearing my response, Wolfram comes running forward.

“Who are these people!? Or perhaps I should ask who they are.”

“Those are kind of difficult questions.”

In the battle of 30 versus 15… 16? About 17. However you looked at it, the smaller group seemed superior. There were only two swordsmen on horses, so being maneuverable seemed to be an advantage. Also, the group with assorted clothes and weapons fought dirt-… er, cunningly. None of them were fighting one-on-one and none of them went in for a direct attack from the front.

I ended up behind Wolfram and T-Zou and I leaned back on the muddy carriage wheel.

The world is a large place, but I might be the only man who has been protected by a sheep. It’s a depressing thought.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.8 -aww, language-

“Yuuri!”

“Whoa, huah!?”

I had only let my attention stray for a few seconds, but a knife had stuck into the cloth canopy behind me. It was only a few centimeters from my ear. It looked like it had been struck with something that set it off course right before my eyes. Maybe someone threw a rock.

“What do you mean, ‘huah!?’ Don’t say 'huah!’”

Wolfram was fairly strict with language.

—————————————————————— Novel 8. ch.8 -I’m telling you this 16 y/o’s gonna end up with all the legal vices-

The man in the Shimaronian military uniform urged his new master along and turned his back. If it will divert my misery, I’ll give up my abstinence from alcohol and tobacco.

I must have been making quite a pitiful face because Wolfram lightly touched my elbow. His tone was much gentler than usual.

“Do you remember what I said to you?”

“What? You’ve said a lot of things to me so I have no idea.”

He sheathes his sword that was cleaned of blood. It made a clinking sound of the end of battle.

“… That the foolish one is Conrart.”

Yuuram in Novel : 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17

more than perfect!!

he is perfect

I realised it as well way back when I just got into the fandom. It was a beautiful realisation. No matter how trivial it may be anything related to YuuRam is worth knowing.

Trivial Random Thought

So I was coloring my recent art and I realized while coloring that Yuuri’s favorite color is blue and you know…. who in Shinma has a blue uniform as standard outfit…. it’s Wolf XD! 

Did you facepalm, I am sure you did : P. This is really something unimportant I realized which is important to me as a Yuuram fan ;).  

Yuuram in Novel 5

I’m skipping the gaidens for now and focusing on the arcs. Here starts the Caloria arc (remember they are separated for a while in this one)

—————————————————————— Novel 5. ch.1 - Wolfram’s teachings -

“Man, Greta, every day you get even more CUTE! That’s a sin, JUNIOR.”

“Who’s JUNIOR, a man?”

… I suppose that’s a bad habit she picked up from Wolfram.

—————————————————————— Novel 5. ch.1 - Wolfram’s legs look like a tables? XD Yuuri snap out of it-

A lavishly furnished chamber was depicted there but there was no one in it.

“What a beautiful person. They look like Wolf,” murmured Greta next to me with a sigh.

“Eh? There’s no one painted there. Do you think that looks like Wolfram, Greta?”

If I had to say, I suppose the legs on the overly ornate table could kind of look like his.

—————————————————————— Novel 5. ch.2 - Daddy Wolf-

Lord von Bielefeld Wolfram nodded with his blonde hair shining amber in the light of the torch he was holding too close. Greta’s lips press together as she grasps Wolfram’s arm. Gwendal slowly bent his knees and spoke to Greta in a low voice so he wouldn’t be heard by his subordinates who were watching from afar.

“What happened?”

“It’s impossible for a child to explain,” Wolfram said with a despondent expression as he swung the now useless torch around with pointless movements.

“Then who else should I ask?”

“But, for a child-”

“I can tell you,” Greta says decisively, cutting Wolfram off.

(…)Handing off the torch, Wolfram pulled the child’s shoulders close

——————————————————————

Novel 5. ch.2

- Don’t act like me-

“So there’s a possibility that he survived?” Gwendal was surprised at the uncharacteristically deep voice that finally came out of Wolfram’s mouth. It was almost like…(…)

“… It’s Lord Weller’s.” “Which means that’s Conrart’s arm?” Again, his voice was quiet and cool. Noticing that his older brother was giving him a strange look, Wolfram raised his eyebrows and asked, “Brother?” “Don’t act like me.” (…)

After remaining silent for a few breaths, Wolfram began to scream as if a dam had broken. He repeated the names of his most beloved king and his second-oldest brother that he was supposed to have hated, and he cursed the unknown enemy. Without being able to look anyone in the face, he kicked at the walls and candelabras with all his strength. That’s good. At least you should remain emotional. If not, then if in the unlikely event that we lost ‘him,’ then the citizens, the castle, and the country will not withstand it.

—————————————————————— Novel 5. ch.6 - The soldiers who bet on him in the chart -

“All the more reason for me to ride alone. It’s the fastest way to find out what country the enemy is from and where we need to strike.”

As Wolfram rode away in a manly way completely unlike a spoiled prince, some of the men cheered him on.

They were the ones who bet on Wolfram in His Majesty’s Spec-Oc.

——————————————————————

Novel 5. ch.6 - At Ulrike’s-

“Lord von Bielefeld Wolfram! What is the reason for your- Your Excellency!?”

“I have a question for the priestesses. I’m coming in.”(…)

Even though a lady was walking next to him, Wolfram did not even slow his pace. It was for reasons like this that he never quite ended up the object of anyone’s romantic affections. Gisela herself was not looking to be treated as a woman, so in the end they ended up walking shoulder to shoulder at a brisk military pace.(…)

“Do you want money? I can’t meet you unless I have a donation!? If so, I’ve brought some. Name your price!”(…)

“So what’s it going to be, Oracle Priestess? Are you still not going to take responsibility!? Then I’ll to break down this door here and now! But who knows what will happen if I use magic right here in the Temple of Shinou!”

When the verbal abuse stopped for a moment, Gisela pushed aside Wolfram, who was breathing so hard his shoulders were moving with each breath, and called out in a kind voice.(…)

“What was that?” asked Wolfram.

“… I don’t know. It was abnormally strong and unstable… and atrocious. It was erratic… maybe-”

“It’s Yuuri!” (…)

“Whether it’s abnormal or normal, that’s Yuuri. Thank goodness, he’s alive! He’s alive, right!?” Wolfram pressed the flat of his hand to his forehead to stave off the stabbing pain spreading through his sinuses. He held back his tears. “But where is this? Do you know the location?”(…)

“Shimaron of all places.”

—————————————————————— Novel 5. ch.8 - After the maou thing-

Since this had happened to me several times before, I realized that my head was in someone’s lap even before I opened my eyes. But Wolfram isn’t with me and Murata would be a little bonier and harder. What is this superb elasticity?

(spoilers, it was Adalbert)

—————————————————————— Novel 5. ch.9 -Wolf worrying -

With bloodshot eyes, Wolfram watched his oldest brother go through details one by one and deal with them. He hadn’t gotten a wink of sleep since yesterday, but he wasn’t feeling tired because he was too exhilarated.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint

The first I saw it was thanks to WEBTOONS. I thought it was just another power fantasy, but since it was dark and the artwork was attractive (Kim Dokja was) I went with it. I held no hopes for it frankly, but, my godn it went from 0-100 in merely the prologue and the first few chapters. And it kept rising and rising without fail.

And, it became one of my dearest works which, even with it's staggering number of chapters, I can revisit countless times.

The world building is massive, as it takes fantasy, legends, histories, myths, sci-fi, meta, gore, game like setting, parallel and alternate dimentions, you name it!

The characters are just as engaging. And if you find a few cannon fodder characters too bland and all you are up for a curve, cause- I can't say it cause it's spoilers. Big fat MAJOR major spoiler. But everything would come back at the end and connect beautifully.

One major aspect that I love about it is how well it deals with loneliness. And, also what a loving bookworm Kim Dokja is♡

This is a story of a reader.

The story of Kim Dokja and his Ways of Survival.

P.S: I wrote a fanfiction because I wanted an extension of that marvellous cliffhanger of an ending (It was perfect and I love it but I wanted to extend it a bit).

Links will be down below for those souls who have read past all the 541 chapters (cause it will be major spoilers otherwise)
