In this new world, what can he accomplish? The only viable option seems to be to continue his thieving ways, but on a grander scale – stealing the entire world. Of course, in a YY novel, failure is not an option. So, as long as the readers find it thrilling, it's all good. If they're not pleased, the author can indulge in some appropriate consequences.
