I think Rudeus will live a long life,
may be he'll get his life extended or may be again reincarnated (with his memories intact)
i think this because :
1: First nd foremost "plot" if he dies so does this LN
- because their's only one protagonist in every story (or atleast i havent seen one scenario where protagonist dies and dosnt gets revived)
- Reduses power is needed by Orstead.
2: Audience will not just adjust to new protagonist all of sudden.
3: everything in the Story built uptil now will fall apart ,and will have to start from scratch .
4: now as to why i dont think that he'll get reincarnated
- It would be LAME
- would have to start frm scratch
- wont b variety for the techniques [or rather he'll have to train for those tech's again] ,may be change in magic quantity
- Most of all ,for the time he's child he'll be VULNERABLE
- [ROFL ORSTEAD WILL NOT BE THERE ALWAYS TO BABYSIT HIM when hes child ]
- His FATE might get weakened [ as stated by orstead ,"You and ur wife's fate are strong ,but not ur descendants " or something along the lines ]
What do u guyz think ?
