How a Hero Lives as a Writer

32 – Α and Ω of gnostic objects

[Bright’s new work, ‘Revenge is Mine’, was staged at Leonard Theater Company.

I think that all the readers who first heard this news would have regretted the hasty judgment of the writer Bright.

Because there was a fatal problem in making ‘Revenge is Mine’ into a play.

That is the setting that the main character is a sword master.

There are many novels in which the main character is a master of swords, and some of them have been successfully adapted into plays.

Still, everyone who came across Bright’s new work was negative about the play.

The reason is that unlike other works, the ‘duel’ is a very symbolic part.

The scene that everyone thinks is a famous scene where the main character fights to the death with his enemy, Kyle.

Who can express the passionate swordsmanship that contrasts with the protagonist’s restrained emotions in a play!

Everyone thought so, and I felt the same way.

Before I saw that stage in Nefrest Kingdom.

It was a shock.

Because that was something different from the previous plays.

It was no longer a play.

It was a sight as if characters from books appeared on stage.

I can’t possibly capture that emotion with my insufficient writing.

You can only confirm that by seeing the play yourself.

Don’t worry even if you can’t go to the Duchy of Oklia or the Kingdom of Nefrest.

Because news has already been heard that many theater companies have entered into negotiations with Leonard Theater Company over the rights to perform.

But there is also some unfortunate news.

That’s the part where I don’t think it’s going to be that easy to sign a contract because of the conditions that Leonard’s theater company has put forward for the right to perform.

Leonard extreme conditions.

It is to reproduce the duel between the main character and Kyle.

Those who saw the play in person might think that the conditions were too high.

Because the duel unfolded on stage was perfect.

But we, Campbell, have uncovered the secret.

That means that the person who fought the duel on stage was a double actor!

If you pay attention to this part, there will be no need to force swordsmanship on the leading actors of the troupe and injure them.

If there is a theater troupe that is having difficulties signing a contract with Leonard troupe, it might be the correct answer to visit the mercenary guild right now.

I hope that as soon as possible, everyone will be able to see the play of ‘Revenge is Mine’.]

– Critic Martin.G –

Once again, this man named Martin wrote a very friendly article for me.

If you lived nearby, you could send a plaque of appreciation.

“By the way, this was a newspaper released a week ago, right?”

“Yes.”

“What about that?”

“I heard that there is a troupe that has already signed a contract.”

“Ow….”

Currently, the popularity of ‘boknageo’, which is shortened to ‘revenge is mine’, is running at its peak.

There is even a rumor going around in the social world that an invitation may soon come from the royal family or the imperial family.

Maybe that’s why the movements of the nobles were also unusual.

So you’re saying we’ll soon be able to see ‘Vengeance is Mine’ being staged all over the world?

My mouth is drooling.

“So I prepared it with the meaning of asking you to take good care of me in the future.”

Mr. Emma held out a piece of paper with a number written on it.

It seems to be an incentive given if the sales volume exceeds a certain level.

“To be honest, how much money did I earn?”

Emma frowned slightly as she thought.

Then he raised her finger with an ambiguous expression.

“Uh… About a count?”

“I was earning the county’s annual income?”

“Yes. It hasn’t even been a year yet, but this is enough….”

I have researched the price of writing a fantasy novel in the past.

It was said that the so-called Grand Duke earned an annual income of about 50 billion won and operated about 1,500 private soldiers.

Currently, there are about 1,000 troops operated by the royal family of the Principality of Oklia, and there are about 60 knights among them.

It’s probably not that different from the prices I researched in fantasy.

Then the count’s income listed in the data was about 15 billion won a year, so if I keep on winning and winning like this, it means that I will earn about 30 billion won a year.

“Then you say you can earn at least a lord in a year?”

“So… Will it work?”

With a profit of about 30 billion won a year, you can earn enough money to operate 50 knights and 500 soldiers.

I am a big player who invests heavily in theme parks.

I mean….

ㅡ You seem to have become the lord of the site where the theme park is located?

… Do we really need to go back to Earth?

ㅡ This son of a b*tch?

No! Because I’m a count now!

I’m Lord now!

Can’t we just open a portal later, throw a letter saying that they are living well and a few gold bars to Earth’s parents and live here?

ㅡ Wake up!

I lived thinking that if I go back someday, this won’t even be my money, but suddenly I wake up knowing how much money I’ve earned.

It feels like I took the red pill and realized the truth of the world.

With my head slightly lowered, I took a few slow, deep breaths.

“Writer… ?”

“No. So it’s September now, right?”

“Yes. It’s a cooking competition held by the author.”

The reason Emma came to the Royal Castle was because of a problem with the cooking contest I had asked for.

The tournament will be held soon, so I’ll have to fix it soon.

“How many participants?”

“About 200 people….”

“Yes?”

What nonsense is that….

“First of all, there are unknown contestants, and there are cooks from nobles who plan to enter the academy….”

“Ah, will that happen?”

For cooks working in aristocratic families, participation may have been half-forced.

They fell in love with the lady I wrote and made the challenging choice of attending an unknown educational institution called the academy.

That’s why I couldn’t easily skip this tournament.

If you do well in this competition, you will be mentioned as an excellent cook in Lady’s work.

“It would be nice to look forward to it.”

“You may have to be prepared.”

“Are you ready?”

“You said that the writer also participated as a judge. You should prepare some stomach medicine.”

“Ah~”

It was a cooking competition in which as many as 200 people participated.

Even if you eat just one bite, 200 bites, so it must be a huge amount.

ㅡ There may be some nasty food.

… I guess so.

Food with strong likes and dislikes.

For example, Korea’s fermented skate, China’s stinky tofu, Japan’s Kusaya, Sweden’s Surstromming, and Inuit’s kibiak.

I’m sure there are people who come out with this bizarre dish.

“… Should I quit too?”

“A writer?”

“Just kidding.”

The core of this dish is a delicious dish that can be eaten over and over again in Oaklia.

Inevitably, points will be deducted for rare food ingredients that cannot be obtained in Aucklia or recipes that are difficult to implement.

So, if the chefs have an idea, they won’t create dishes that people like or dislike.

… Wouldn’t it?

“The special thing is that there are quite a lot of contestants in the Elvens.”

“Ah~ that farming goes well?”

“Yes. It is also famous for its gastronomy. I hope you can look forward to this competition.”

“Don’t you think it’s going to be that easy? It’s a dish made with ingredients that can be consistently obtained in Aucklia?”

“I am a chef from a country of gourmets. Isn’t that what it means to be confident?”

“After hearing it, it seems plausible.”

This might greatly improve Oklia’s diet.

The clothing part has been improved to some extent, so now it’s a housing issue….

“It seems that winter is slowly approaching.”

“Yes. Because everyone started wearing thicker clothes.”

“Keuuu, my bones are already cold.”

Because the castle is basically built of stone, it is very cold in winter.

Even though there is a fireplace, my nose is stuffy and it’s really cold as if I’m going to turn over.

It was a precious time to personally experience the fact that people don’t run away like that when it comes to winter in Europe.

That winter is coming again.

“At times like this, I miss my hometown.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Didn’t I just talk a little bit about my hometown?”

“Ah, you mean you don’t wear shoes in your room, right?”

“Yes. That’s it.”

In cold regions like this, ondol is the national rule.

“Can you make one?”

“Make it?”

“Yes. Do you remember the created identity of Author Bright?”

“Ah, it must have been the third son of a nobleman or something, right?”

Ms. Emma nodded her head and took out her paper.

“This part is the author’s territory.”

“… Wisdom?”

“Yes. The conversation with His Highness the King is in a state of being connected.”

… Well, it’s time to start needing my own home.

I’m a noble, but I can’t stay in the royal castle forever.

I can’t stay in the castle forever.

“Then shall we make it real?”

“You have a lot of money, so do as you please.”

If there is a fatal problem with ondol, it is firewood.

It was said that even on the Korean Peninsula, there were no trees left on the mountains because of this ondol.

But if it’s about the size of the house I’ll live in, I can afford ondol.

There is a lot given to me.

There is also a huge amount of money that will continue to grow even if you spend it lavishly.

This is an angle.

“I’ll try.”

“If it is completed later, can I experience that ondol?”

“That much is cheap between us.”

ㅡ Ondol….

For some reason, Miss Helena felt sorry for her.

Ah, is it impossible to experience ondol because it is a spiritual body?

I pity you who don’t know the greatness of ondol!

ㅡ I know neither cold nor heat.

Ah… That, sorry

It felt like stepping on a mine.

“Anyway, now that the list is here, it must be that the members are arriving soon, right?”

“Yes. There are a lot of people, so I think it’s necessary to coordinate the schedule. Shall we split into 8 groups of 25 people each?”

“That’s fine too.”

At a time when the world was noisy with the play of ‘Revenge is Mine’, Oklea started to heat up even more with a cooking contest.

***

“Your father and Raina will be surprised.”

As the blond-haired man muttered, the dwarf near him looked up at him.

“Ha ha ha! You’re such a strange guy too, Damien! A noble cook!”

“Because now I have to show the results of studying abroad at Elvens. But if going out is annoying, why are you following me?”

“I want to meet an artist named Bright.”

The dwarf caressed his beard and smiled heartily.

“Kruger. The story of the hero is a secret.”

“Don’t worry, Damian, I know everything!”

“In Oaklea, call me Ian.”

“Okay, okay! Ha ha ha!”

An unexpected guest was visiting Aucklea.
