## Synopsis

The No-life Gamers head for the elven nation of Rohzenheim, which is on the brink of annihilation. Facing a force three million strong and said to be led by a Demonic Deity, can Allen and his friends truly prevail against such strength and numbers?!

Diving straight into the Rohzenheim War!

Rohzenheim, nation of the elves, is under attack by the Demon Lord Army and on the verge of total annihilation. Heeding the requests of his home country and Sophialoneh—crown princess of Rohzenheim and No-life Gamer newcomer—Allen and his companions decide to join the fight and save the elves.

When they land on the elven continent, however, they find the capital already fallen, the front line on the verge of crumbling, and one of the few remaining cities overflowing with wounded and refugees. To make matters worse, they learn that the enemy's top general is a Demonic Deity who has already defeated Hero Helmios before!

The Demon Lord Army is far more numerous and much more powerful than anything they've ever encountered before! Can the No-life Gamers truly prevail against a force of three million?!

## Afterword

> Thank you for purchasing this book! Thanks to your support, this fourth volume of Hell Mode is now out on shelves. I cannot fully express how grateful I am. Thank you very much.
>
>
>
> Even though I keep talking about how thick each book is in my afterwords, this fourth volume ended up being just as thick. On top of the already very hefty main volume, I also got permission to include two rather wordy side stories as well. Thank you to my editor for being so understanding!
>
> This time, I used the side stories to include details that I couldn’t manage to include in the main story.
>
> The first one is what happened to Rehzel in the past. I really wanted to introduce what he had been like before he became a Demonic Deity. My hope is that this episode sheds some light on what the battle in Rohzenheim had meant to him.
>
> The second one is a story about the spirits. The elves and the spirits are the focus of this fourth volume, but the Sovereign of Spirits was pretty much the only spirit that ended up getting featured, and I wanted to fix that a little. I hope you find this side story a good ending to the volume.
>
> Now, since this is an afterword, I suppose I’ll talk a bit more about myself again. In the afterword of the first volume, I went over how I started uploading to Shosetsuka ni Naro .This time, I want to share a part of my life that I think really laid the foundation for me to eventually write light novels. These are, at the end of the day, only my personal thoughts, so please take it as just a story.
>
> My dad was one of those typical company workers who would get dispatched to a different location every once in a while. Consequently, our family moved to a different place in Kyushu once every few years while I was in kindergarten and elementary school.
>
> I personally had no complaints about this, but an incident did occur when I was in the younger grades of elementary school. After this incident, my family did not move anymore during my time as a student.
>
> Due to how frequently my dad’s company shuffled its employees around its various offices, it included company housing as part of its welfare program. Some places, the company housing was practically brand new; some places, not so much.
>
> When we were made to live in one of the latter, my mom finally reached the end of her rope and, like a volcano erupting, shouted, “I don’t want to live in sh\*\*\*y company housing like this anymore! Dad, buy a house! Now!”
>
> “O-Okay, mom. Let’s visit a home-building exhibition this weekend. Please don’t be mad, mom!”
>
> I just censored the exact word my mother used in order to protect the company my dad worked at, but yep, this very conversation did take place one day at our dinner table. This was the “Hamuo family being fed up with company housing and buying a house” incident.
>
> After that, we went to an exhibition and selected a plot of land in an area newly zoned for single-family residences. Two years later, we moved in.
>
> I have nothing but gratitude toward my parents for building our family home, protecting our family, and raising so many of us siblings. However, after we moved out of company housing and into our own house, I found myself with a problem. Namely, our home was really far away from my school.
>
> We lived halfway up a hill, and the elementary school was all the way at the foot. Of course, I say it was far, but it was really only about one and a half kilometers. It’s nothing compared to kids who have to ride a train or a ferry to get to school, but it was enough to affect what I did. Or rather, the way I used my head.
>
> I started using my commute time to fantasize about the manga and anime I consumed on the daily. I would reflect on scenes that left an impression on me and mulled over parts that I particularly liked. I had a ton of fun moving the characters around in my mind and imagining how I would continue the story if I were the author.
>
> This habit of mine continued for quite a while, as my middle and high school were also quite far from my house. I believe this is the part of my life through which I developed the ability to write stories.
>
> If there is anyone wishing that their children will grow up to become light novel writers, I highly recommend that you live in old company housing.
>
> Well then, that’s about it for this afterword.
>
> The manga version of Hell Mode is currently serializing. Its pages depict the exciting scenes of the story in gripping detail. And to my delight, I was told that they would even up the pace at which it’s being released! The mangaka, Tetta Enji-sensei, is doing amazing work, and I cannot thank him enough. Dear readers, I hope you enjoy seeing the world of Hell Mode in manga form too.
>
>
>
>
> Let us meet again for volume 5. I’d be very grateful if you would continue giving me your support. Well, until then!
