Chapter 304: Eternal Mystery

When a person is about to die, all sorts of insights and fascinating ideas would come to her mind .

”Setsuna” had joined the Doujin circle as a Doujin novel creator, three years ago . However, she was not talented in creating such work, or to put in other words; her works were too delusional . Only those who were on the same wavelength as her would understand what she wrote and what she wanted to express .

Unfortunately, such readers did not exist .

”Setsuna” was obsessed with a wide variety of settings that she neglected the three important elements of a novel . Character, Plot, and Lore . She had been trying her best at worldbuilding, but, her confusing writing style had left the readers unclear of anything .

That was the reason why ”White Clover,” which she had put her heart and soul into, had been left unattended by people . Her writing was terrible, and her works had little to no plot . All in all, she would insert a lot of plot devices into the mix as Altair, the heroine, travels and visits new worlds . This was all very confusing .

After that, the forever mysterious Altair carried on with her journey to another world . After that she would write, see and contemplate further…

The image of Altair as a mysterious Two Dimensional traveler had been rooted deeply in

the reader's mind . Everyone would know what she does at a glance now . The only thing was that even the creator could not solve her own character's mystery .

”White Clover” was a Doujin novel full of delusions and wild imaginations . It may not become popular, but, it had its own charm .

When ”Setsuna” knew that she had stage 4 cancer, her writing grew even weirder, as she practiced the ultimate form of free expression . Even though readers spoke the same language, they did not recognize a single sentence that those otherwise familiar words join up to form!

It was truly unfortunate to encounter such a talentless creator . Zhao Youyue would not have even spared such a story a second glance, if not for the fact that she needed to research on her latest ”Two Dimensional Gate” destination .

If ”Setsuna” had any talent at all, her work could have been salvaged . Obviously, she was paying tribute to the poem, ”Divina Commedia,” by the famous poet, Dante . All she did however, was to use the two words, Divina Commedia to complete her t.i.tle, ”Altair: Divina Commedia . ”

Dante applied the distinctive, imaginative vision of medieval literature in writing his ”Divina Commedia . ” He had imagined himself as a princess, who was still alive, traveling to h.e.l.l --- Kingdom of the dead . The poem was divided into three parts which were ”h.e.l.l,” ”Purgatory” and ”Paradise . ”

During his journey from h.e.l.l to paradise, Dante Alighieri had engaged in conversation with the souls of famous people, which had included the heroes and villains throughout history . He placed the characters he looked up to and the characters he despised into the aforementioned categories, putting some

some of the Florentines that he and the Pope disliked into h.e.l.l . Some details, which were of his own creation and not mentioned in the Bible sounded logical . This included his views on Theology, systematically elaborating on the worldviews of Christianity .

Likewise, this Doujin novel adopted that format . The difference was, Altair was traveling through worlds imagined by ”Setsuna,” not h.e.l.l, purgatory, and paradise .

As everyone knows, cancer patients suffer a lot . In the midst of suffering, ”Setsuna” would come up with many ideas . It seemed like the closer she was to death, the more information she would receive . She would then put everything into words, using words to describe everything .

She seemed to put herself in the shoes of this mysterious Altair under her pen, happily traveling through her imaginary worlds . She would start to take in every detail of her pain and commit it to memory, and express it on paper to the best of her highly limited abilities .
