This is the afterwords for season 2 episode 251.

Here's a simple doodle to start the day. When I was in college I wasn't the type to think of such comic imaginations... but perhaps because I'm a comic artist or because my life is so meh, I imagine or hope "What if a day was 48 hours?" or "What If I had two bodies?" Now that I think of it they all relate back to time or deadlines... Hmm... What has my life become...

Regardless, I do imagine often having two bodies. Perhaps that would let me have a barrier between normal self and author self. Like most whitecollar workers I hope that I have a separate work life and personal life. Just work in moderation, and the other times I can develop myself, go drinking weekends, get some sleep, would be so nice. But I'm realizing authors don't get to do that ^^;; It's become impossible for me to imagine myself not drawing Tower of God... That's what I think about.

On to the chapter... Urek's ankle bracelet has been undone. That looks suspect, but regardless.

One of the aspects I worried most about was on the Floor of Death was How powerful to set Urek/High Rankers. I had that problem because:
 * 1) The Floor of Death is a very dangerous place for even Rankers
 * 2) But due to the story structure, I can't have High Rankers look weak yet.

Those two were conflicting. As an author I have to stick to my settings and show a lot, but I have to also consider the narrative and the longevity of the work. So that's how Joe came to be. Joe is currently very powerful but he has a weak side on the level of Regulars, so he felt like a good fit as the enemy. And Urek became the enemy, not because balance or the flow of the battle but more like how Joe-Urek's story is solved. I wanted that to be more of a focus, I had thought

Well... hehe... You'll see plenty of Urek and Joe going boom boom next episode ^^;; Narrative is hard.

On Hell Joe, Hell Joe is indeed from Hell Joseon hehe. Actually, before starting on Floor of Death I asked mysef: "The Floor of Death is supposed to be a really hellish and dangerous place. What kind of place would it be like? A place that looks like there's deadly dangerous everywhere, a lawless place?" I thought of it but that's too common of a concept, I haven't lived in such a place, and I can only get so far without either moving up the webtoon's age ratings or make it tacky. If I went that too-obvious route, would it be fun... those were my thoughts. So I looked around myself to find what would accurately depict the Floor of Death, and... eventually that led to Hell Joe.

Sounds a bit obvious, but this is perhaps a different story to the Floor of Death than what you guys were thinking.... Those where my thoughts. Hell Joe's story will continue next week ^^; The fight with Urek was a hard draw, but I hope you enjoy.

Well stay happy, have a good week. I hope to return next like a zombie from the dead. Thank you!
