Whether you’re reading it the week it came out or years later, you should know just a bit about the writing of this volume. The first half (book three) was written in 2018. The second half (book four) was written in 2022-23, meaning that there is about a five year difference between the two. Like anyone who practices for five years straight, my writing improved during that time, which meant I had to match the second part with the first. Luckily, there was the amazing audio from Jeff Hays to tune me back into the story, the wacky and wild characters, and their relations to other Proxima books like The Feedback Loop, Last Warrior of Unigaea, and Monster Hunt NYC. What follows is quite the story, quite the finale, and something I’m glad to finally have finished. This doesn’t mean that this volume is the end of the Proxima Legends series, but it is the end for now. For those of you that waited for those five years between these books, this one is for you!

Chapter 1: To Waringtla by Way of Tokyo The last thing Ryuk wants to see is Hiccup’s naked ass sprawled out on the floor. Luckily, he’s on his belly, Ryuk thinks as his avatar takes shape. Everything that has happened over the last few hours comes to him in a sudden flash. He recalls taking Hajime to the repair facility using the instructions the humandroid sent him over iNet. He was so calm, so collected, Ryuk thinks. He then feels stupid for thinking this: Of course Hajime was calm and collected; he isn’t real, or at least, he doesn’t feel the same emotions we do. After Ryuk released him to the repair facility, Hajime walked him through the next steps he needed to take. First, Ryuk installed the most powerful encryption apps available on the dark web. He then booked a Proxima capsule hotel not far from Hajime’s location under a false name using fake life chip info and a chip masker. He even had a fabricated life story just in case someone asked him (he was a college student visiting a sick relative, his alias was Madara Uchiha). Ryuk was instructed to stay logged in until Hajime recovered, twelve hours total, which would still give him time to meet FeeTwix and Sophia in person under Hajime’s watchful eye. And that was that. Hajime would pick him up tomorrow and they’d continue their new, fugitive-esque lives in Tokyo. Whatever that entails. Ryuk hasn’t really figured out what happens yet or where they’ll go. His brother will be looking for him; Hajime was certain that Tesla would be repaired, and she’d be looking for them as well.
