Finale: I am cancelling this fic abruptly

[Bad End 06: Assassinated while asleep]
Wut??
[The Player was assasinated whole asleep. This ends the Third Playthrough]
Well shit.
Here I am, floating in Oblivion as a sentient mass of consciousness. I'm guessing that I had pissed off Haruhime's dad so much that he sent an assassin up ny ass and I died.
Fuck.
Oh well, Guess I'll return back to a day or so earlier.
[About that, The System is running out of energy. The System can only perform a Time Reversal one more time.]
...
...
...
Nani?
[The System had an almost infinite amount of energy but after thousands of times of reversing time, The System has finally reached its limit. The System only has enough energy to make one more trip back in time.]
Oi oi, how the hell you ran out if energy anyway?
[Because The Player had abused the Time Reversal function too many times, even when unnecessary. The Player had at multiple occasions in many Incarnations intentionally dies to return back in time several weeks prior to take advantage of foreknowledge. However, the Time Reversal function of the System is Linear Timeline Reversal. Think of a Timeline as a single rapidly flowing river. It takes few energy to jump forward, however it takes a tremendous amount of energy to fight against the flow of the River of Time and move upstream.]
Ah great, so I got screwed over by my past incarnations abusing the Time Reversal. Yay me.
Still, what will happen once you ran out of energy?
[Should Player: Soren Ravencroft The System will use it's last remaining energy to send the Colour out of Space, which is the sum of all of your Incarnations outside of proper cleansing through the reincarnation cycle, back to your original world. You will be reborn in Earth, no longer having to deal with as you put it, "anime nonsense".]
So I go back to Earth, reborn as ugly 3D human living in a boring magicless world where my life is alll about working boring mundane jobs to pay my taxes?
[Yes.]
Fuck that shit. I'm not going back!
[Then your only option is to simply float in Oblivion for all eternity.]
Fine by me. I despise Earth. I rather just float around in here as a spaghetti space monster than going back to that boring ass world.
[If you say so.]
...
...
...
Hmm, that's a nice nap. How long did I sleep? Well, not really sleeping, just... Not being conscious as a mass of energy, I guess.
[Over 90829017392 in Earth years had passed since the Colour out of Space had went inactive]
Holy shit, I've been out for that long?
[Yes. The Player's soul had long since adapted to the void. Spending another eternity here is not a concern for you. You are titled exactly because of that. You were first called as the Colour out of Space by Freya as even a goddess like her had never seen a soul with your colour. A soul that had evolved beyond the comprehension of divine beings.]
Well shit. So I really am an Eldritch being. No wonder Freya's gone insane when she looked at my soul once.
[The Player, The System no longer has enough energy to perform one, final Time Reversal. The System will run out of energe and cease to exist soon.]
Oh, okay. Goodbye, I guess.
[Is The Player still intend to stay here?]
Well, I did just fine for... Whatever number of years you said before. I'll be fine. I'll just float around here until Akatosh stumbled upon me or someshit.
[...]
[The Player, The System has a suggestion.]
What?
[As said, fighting against the flow of the River of Time requires tremendous amount of energy, but the cost to jump ahead of the River of Time is negligible. The System can perform one final gambit for The Player. The System can move The Player's original spawn date from 5 years prior to anime canon into the year of the anime canon.]
That...
That's ...!!!
The main issue of my spawning was that I am spawned roughly 5 years ahead of the episode 1 of the Danmachi anime. Based on my logs, I either had to lay low and wait for Bell Cranel to come to keep canon events intact, which in turn screw me over from being underlevelled.
Or, I wreak havoc due to my early spawn date and changed so much thing in five years that the canon cease to exist.
Either way, until now, I had only 1 year to develop Bell Cranel. If I restarted a playthrough and went back to my Corpo Orario strat, it is possible for me dig the dungeon past Floor 60 and add four mour years to time I have to develop Bell as my main DPS in the final raid against Alduin.
But I can't go back to the past anymore. The System has no energy left to spare.
However, if I move my spawn date to the canon timeline, I have six years to develop Bell right off the bat.
Enough time to make Hestia Familia to become the main powerhouse in mining through Orario.
Reach Floor 100, get whatever key item there and use the last remianjng years to prep and beat Alduin for good.
That sounds workable but...
Why should I keep fighting anymore?
Haven't I've done enough already?
I just want to rest already.
[The past Players had anticipated this, so The System will now unlock your past Incarnations precious memories.]
I am bombarded by so many memories of my predecessors. There were Incarnations where I was monogamous. There were Incarnations where I was polygamous. There were Incarnations where I remained single, and only adopted kids. There were times I was a people leader and times where I was a leader of a small group. Each of them had customized their appearance differently. I was a Nord, a Brit, A Chinese, a Mexican. Hell, I was once Black.
The customized appearances must had been to differentiate themselves between Incarnations. I looked at Mike Shinoda, the Incarnation before me. He looks like a mix of White-Japanese with a Naruto hairstyle. It was kinda hilarious.
How did I look like I am now, I didn't remember. Mike Shinoda had probably customized my appearance himself before he reset.
Anyway, fuck this guilt trip.
Why did my past Incarnations fight so hard to save Danmachi? Because everytime any of me was giving up, myself will guilt trip me to keep on fighting.
But at least, all of me has the safety net of Time Reversal. Even if eventually I will reset myself from.the growing despair and madness, there is always that safety net.
The safety net that has finally worn out and unusuable anymore.
Soren Ravencroft is the Last Incarnation of The Player.
The Player has failed each time despite having the instinct born from countless Playthrough. It just doesn't work.
What's the point of me going back, losing myself to despair as I worked tirelessly to prepare just enough resources to beat Alduin?
I looked at my own precious memory. The simpler times in White Raven Agency in my first Playthrough, where I didn't know any of this time loop nonsense.
...
System, delete all my memories. All my playthrough.
[Are you sure, Soren Ravencroft.]
Aye.
If this is going to be my Final Playthrough...
I rather go through it blind.
No more dreading my fated end to Alduin.
No more desperation to prep for doomsday.
No more... Anything.
I will just be a simple OC in a Danmachi fanfic, oblivious to the futility of my struggles.
[Then, The Player, this is farewell.]
Whatever constitutes as vision to me is flooded with brigh light as I feel my soul getting shot through the Nothingness into Matter once again
[For what's it's worth, (#$"-#@, you have been a fine partner for a mediocre System like me. May this Playthrough be your victory finally.]

(((The year is now 6th June 0000 before Alduin for the canon year designation)))

"Fuck ..."
"Get up you useless hobo!"
"Wha?"
Before I can ask further, I was whipped in the back by the...
Wait, why am I pushing a cart?
"move!!"
WHIP!!
I was lashed again and decide you know what? Fuck this. I'm gonna run.
I lose myself in the crowd and grow increasingly confused.
This isn't Earth
Oh fuck me, did I get isekaid? I can't recall much about who I was before. All I can remember is useless anime knowledge and a lot of useless animal videos. Oh gee, I know that female hyena has pseudo penis! What a useful fact!
I looked around, trying to identify where I am until a random kid knocked me on my back.
"Sorry!!"
The white haired kid with his red eyes offered a hand to help me up, he looks like he had just arrived in the city considering the thick backpack on his back.
I looked down on myself and saw I am covered in rags and my arms looks so thin that you may as well call me a skeleton.
Then, I looked up the the rabbit kid again.
Fuck me.
I am Awakened as a Hobo in Orario!!
The end (???)
(((AN)))
In case if it wasn't clear, this is actually a cancellation notice. I just feel like writing a boring notice would be well, boring, so I write up a sort of a conclusion with an open ending.
For awhile now, I just dont feel like writing this up. Between working on my other two fics and IRL jobs, as well as actually drawing my own comic, Hobo in Orario was the least in priority list. I started the series 5 years before Canon because I want to explore the other regions in Genkai instead of just writing the usual Orario and canon events.
But eh, I got lazy and demotivated at around January 2025. I had been planning this sort of Cancel-Reboot thing for awhile but I wanted to at least finished the Oath under the Rising Sun arc.
But fuck it, I am busy speedrunning ZZZ to collect summon gems to gacha Evelyn so I aint got time for this shit.
I promised I would at least announce cancellation, so here it is. I did said I would summarize the plot to the end but I leave this fic with an open end so that I can reboot it if I decide so.
Which I probably wouldn't, but eh, who knows what mood I will have later.
I am sorry for wasting your time reading this shitty fic. Thanks for follows and likes, I suppose. Hate to dissapoint with this abrupt cancellation. If you haven't checked out my other fics, don't read it. Surviving in Naruto is written with pure sleep-deprived-induced insanity and Drifting Legacy is so AU it may as well be its own original work.
Farewell.
