How a Hero Lives as a Writer

1 – The warrior’s doorstep? I didn’t know the line. It’s amazing that a novel of this size could be written in just two weeks.”

So hurry up and give me the next volume.

Prince Albert, who invited me to this world, is a man who does not fit in with lies or flattery.

Because he is a king of the kind commonly called the Grand Duke of the North, and he is a giant over 190cm tall, so the title of General is more appropriate than King.

So this reaction must be sincere.

“The next volume will take some time. Because I don’t know much about this world.”

The novel I wrote was close to a light novel with the sensibility of a school novel added to Romeo and Juliet.

When I was on Earth, I had published about 100 episodes in a series to be included in the K-Platform review, so it was not too much of a problem to write 25 episodes in two weeks with unfamiliar handwriting.

However, after episode 25, where the prologue ends, the story of the main character and heroine must gradually add flesh to the name of the setting.

To do that, I have to study about this world.

Because the earth and this world are fundamentally different.

Let’s say you have to deal with God and religion, for example.

On Earth, it doesn’t matter if you deal with fallen religious people or evil spirits.

No, rather, evil spirits and corrupt religious people in fantasy were common enough to feel like clichés.

But this is a world where there are truly divine beings.

If I recklessly write a novel that slanders God in a place like this, even if I were a hero, I wouldn’t know what would happen.

You should be careful.

“But it’s a love story….”

Prince Albert was funny, but I wondered if he had any reason to write this novel.

“This was the most acceptable subject for me who is not familiar with this world yet.”

“Yes, I guess. Even if you are a hero, there will be many things you need to pay attention to.”

As Prince Albert said, he looked at my right hand.

I followed his gaze and looked at the stigma on my right hand.

I still can’t believe it, but this is the only proof that I was summoned to this world as a hero.

Prince Albert is also treating me with such respect because this pattern appeared on me.

“If this novel of yours is officially published, it will be noisy in another sense.”

I laughed bitterly at Prince Albert’s words.

The castle where I am staying is peaceful, but the religious world seems to be in a state of chaos right now.

It is said that a warrior was suddenly summoned at an event that had been going on for 30 years without incident.

It’s bound to be a mess.

Because warriors have always appeared only in times of crisis.

So, if you admit my existence, it means that a disturbing shadow is casting over this world.

But denying my existence means denying the warrior chosen by the gods.

That means denying God.

No matter what answer you give, you are in a situation where you are not happy, so you are confused.

Prince Albert said that if the case went well, he could go home in a year….

Perhaps he noticed my gaze, Prince Albert smiled bitterly.

“It was a long time ago, so there is almost no historical data left, but I heard that all the warriors of the past were people with exceptional martial talent.”

Therefore, there is no reason for me to be summoned, having lived a life unrelated to war in a peaceful world.

I draw the line that maybe the god invited them for some other reason, or maybe he acted on a whim.

This is Clischende.

Nothing will happen.

If you believe like this, something really happens….

“By the way, they said that the main character was a master of swordsmanship and the heroine was a master of magic, um….”

“Did something happen?”

“The scene where the main character fights for the first time was very awkward.”

“Ah.”

That’s right.

No matter how often I was in an environment where I read fantasy novels, I am no stranger to swordsmanship.

So I went over it as plainly as possible, but it seems that there were some awkward parts in the eyes of experts.

I wrote down the story of Prince Albert on paper and organized my thoughts.

“For example, if you lower your head to avoid an attack aimed at his neck, you should be considered dead.”

“Is there a reason?”

“Um.”

Prince Albert explained in detail so that even I, who was new to swordsmanship, could easily understand.

“You understand now, right?”

“….”

Prince Albert pointed out other problems.

Fortunately, it was only a point about swordsmanship.

I was able to safely write the first volume of ‘Oh My Lady’ by correcting that part.

“Kuhm. So I want to show this novel to my daughter, is that okay?”

Honestly, I didn’t know that the reaction would be this good.

Because it was a novel that failed the screening in that world.

I wrote it after a little correction because of regret, but if the response is this good, of course I can’t help but nod my head… !

“Thank you. I’ve talked to the librarian, so if you need anything, don’t be afraid to ask.”

“Yes, I understand.”

After this ceremony honoring the warriors, a high-ranking member of the Order will visit me.

I still have time until then, so I’ll look into it in many ways.

It would be quicker to ask Prince Albert, but he was a busy man.

So I couldn’t take up any more of his time.

I said hello to Prince Albert and headed to the nearby library.

“Welcome, come….”

As I entered the library, the librarian, as usual, looked a little sullen and slightly bowed his head.

“I want to find information about the hero and the current event, is there any?”

“Um, uh….”

The librarian straightened her messy hair and she nodded her head slightly.

Then he headed somewhere with brisk steps, and eventually brought three books with him.

“Here….”

“Thank you.”

Prince Albert said I was the 7th summoned hero.

The beings called warriors are the ones who created a legend comparable to a myth.

But is it that there is only about 75 web novels worth of books? ?

“Is this all?”

“Yes…. Being here, that’s all….”

I thought it was strange, but once you read the book, you’ll understand.

I sat down and read books about warriors for a while.

And before long, I could understand why there was little information about the hero.

The war that took place 100 years ago was a problem.

It is not written in detail for what reason the war broke out, but it is said that it was an incident in which all mankind died and killed each other.

In the aftermath of that war, many books related to the hero seem to have been lost.

Still, we use plant-based paper instead of parchment, so why….

I decided to ask the librarian about this just in case.

“Excuse me.”

“Yes?”

“This book says that a lot of data was lost in the aftermath of the war. Do you know something?”

“That, the dwarf took the paper… with wood….”

“The spread of books increased because dwarves invented making paper from trees, but it wasn’t like that before?”

Nodding.

In the days when paper was parchment, books were close to a luxury item possessed only by nobles, royalty, and wealthy merchants.

That’s why the explanation was that all the materials that were few were burned.

Still, it’s strange that this is the only story of the warriors who saved the world….

“Still, it’s strange. There are so few stories about the hero.”

“It was a long time ago, so….”

… Is 100 years that long ago?

Ah, I guess I should think of it as a story that the time when the hero was active was a long time ago.

“Then why did the ceremony to honor the brave suddenly start?”

I felt like the librarian’s face instantly sharpened when I asked that question.

Did it bother you?

“The Oracle has come down….”

“An oracle?”

“Do not forget the incarnation of God, the brave warrior… The oracle, that….”

It’s an oracle.

Anyway, what is certain is that the spread of paper seems to have been activated with the dwarven technology.

I think that’s why the common people are also able to access books.

“So, what novel did you recommend?”

The librarian looked up at me with a look of anticipation.

Black hair, which is rare in this country, and a headband on top of it.

Adding to that the oversized cardigan and slouching posture she wears on her body, she is a timid literary girl herself.

People like this get hot when they talk about their favorite novel.

“It was a bit quiet, not my taste.”

The librarian’s expression became even more somber.

“Uh, well, novels were very stimulating in the world I lived in.”

“Stimulus, huh?”

“Yes, stimulation.”

At least, ‘The Lady of the Autumn Field’, which the librarian recommended, was rather stimulating.

But even that was boring to me, having read genre novels mixed with all sorts of MSG on Earth.

The librarian thought that since she is a woman, she may have different tastes.

So I looked for a novel that was more stimulating.

When it comes to provocative genres, there is nothing that comes to mind immediately like revenge.

Was that the ‘Blue Blade Diago’? I read a novel with that title, but this one was a bit lacking.

Because it was about the protagonist quitting revenge to break the chain of resentment, saying that the enemy also has a family.

Does that make sense?

The guy who had been gnashing his teeth to avenge his parents for 10 years suddenly opened his eyes to love for humanity.

To me, who had been watching Seonhyup, where a village is dumped as giblets if stolen, such a development seemed nothing but a collapse of probability.

Of course, I understand that it is to teach you a lesson that washing blood with blood is wrong.

But that’s not really….

Why did the Gag Concert fail? It’s because more funny and stimulating things have been created.

What is the reason why a drama dealing with family love changed to a last-minute drama? That’s because it’s more immersive.

For me, who had been exposed to such stimulation, the novels of this world were too bland.

To the extent that it feels a bit excessive.

I told the librarian about a stimulating subject I encountered on Earth.

The librarian’s face at first flinched as he listened to my story, but his face gradually turned into astonishment.

“That, that kind of content, comes out, is it?”

“Yes. So, the novel here is a bit boring.”

Perhaps because God exists and the caste system remains, the descriptions in the novels are too boring.

If it’s revenge, shouldn’t it show the progress of ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’, which is synonymous with revenge?

It was a car that I was bored because I was in the position of a warrior.

There are people with whom we can talk for the first time in a while, so can we chat?

I talked for a long time, enough to make my throat hurt at such thoughts.

That was the moment I was about to leave the library after all I had to say.

“Hero.”

“Yes?”

For some reason, I felt a creepy feeling.

… What?

“Could you do that here… No, nothing, nothing….”

The librarian returned to his normal state of hesitation.

It was a different look from the way my eyes sparkled with my stimulating material.

… What is it really?
