How a Hero Lives as a Writer

89 – The Forgotten Age of Mythology

Since the plot was already in place, the work progressed even more rapidly.

The meeting ended in less than an hour, and immediately the people who confirmed the hero’s biography in a dream were elected.

2 People from each race or 2 people from each faction to enable cross-validation.

So many people gathered in one room.

“Then may I begin?”

I looked around and asked that question, and everyone nodded as if to tell them to get started.

Now, let’s get started.

I lay down on the floor and summoned the holy sword.

And then, thinking of Hendricks Luther, the first warrior, he closed his eyes.

Then, the demons around me started preparing something, and something that looked like a magic circle formed around the space where I lay.

As soon as I confirmed that, a huge amount of information from the Holy Sword penetrated my brain.

“Heuk!”

The moment I felt the pain that seemed like my brain would split, I fell asleep as if I had passed out.

……

…

The information that had been complicated like a tangled skein began to become clear little by little.

The sight the Holy Sword showed me for the first time… It was a scene where humans were studying magic.

Elves have elemental magic.

Beasts have a natural body.

Dwarves have excellent dexterity.

But what do humans have?

Magic was a miraculous product that could only be used by selected geniuses.

No matter how much you train, no warrior strong enough to defeat a beastman is born.

It was foolish to compete with a dwarf who said he could hear the voice of iron with dexterity.

People who had nothing suffered from that inferiority complex.

That inferiority complex became desire, and desire became an obsession.

I want to become a better person than I am now.

I want to become a greater race than other races.

After such an accident, they wanted miraculous power that could only be realized with human power, without borrowing the power of God.

In this process, the miraculous power was separated into the divine power and the protection of the stars.

Imitates the power of God with only human power.

It was a rough road beyond imagination.

That’s why humans couldn’t get the answers they wanted no matter how much time passed.

In the meantime, humans come across an interesting phenomenon.

Soldiers who died in the war that started in the two territories.

It was a scene where they became undead and wandered around.

There’s no way God would do something like this to blaspheme life.

So, this happened because of a certain phenomenon.

Those who studied magic at the time came to that conclusion.

Since then, similar phenomena have been discovered in various places, and the wizards thought they could get clues from the strange phenomenon.

And I came to a conclusion.

The power of life.

The earnest desire to live right before death met with a dying ember and caused a chemical reaction.

So the undead, which couldn’t exist originally, were created.

How could this happen?

That’s because all life in Mare originated from God.

The miracle of God dwells in the body of a creature.

Having come to such a conclusion, they began to study magic with life as collateral.

First plants, then animals, and then… Intelligence.

Those who were fascinated by the idea of reproducing the miracle of God gradually began to violate taboos.

At first, beings lacking in intelligence, beings with physical defects, and furthermore, slaves were consumed as experimental materials.

After piling up countless corpses, the wizards realized the reason why the undead arose and the structure of magic.

Magic is a phenomenon created by the meeting of divine power and longing for something.

The undead phenomenon was a phenomenon that occurred when numerous living beings replaced the power of God and the hope of living was met.

With this, magic only for humans was born!

The humans cheered and rejoiced.

But the joy did not last long.

I prepared a medium to replace the power of God, but it was because I couldn’t create the desired phenomenon.

Because no wish could win over the grudge of a living creature on the brink of death.

So humans try something new.

If the sacrifice wishes to die on its own, a new result will surely be born.

After such discussions, a new organization was formed.

It was a kind of pseudo-religion.

Death is sacred and a beautiful means to end the suffering of life.

After death, you can enjoy eternal happiness in heaven where God resides.

In that way, he educated his followers and diluted the fear of death.

The results were surprising.

Because no more undead were created.

At last, the way to use magic with human power, not divine power, has been opened!

From this point on, various magic began to be studied.

The basic magic was catalyst magic.

A magic that efficiently uses the energy extracted from living beings.

It was a magic that could be said to be the beginning of magic using the current Mare’s Moonlight Stone.

Their magic developed day by day, and the living area of humans began to expand dramatically.

At that time, a girl knocked on the door of a pseudo-religion.

That girl was special.

A child blessed by a star that is said to be born only in very small numbers.

In other words, it was a child who could use magical powers.

However, in a village made up of slash-and-burn farmers, the girl was considered a cursed child.

From noble mtl dot com

The girl grew up receiving severe bullying and bullying from the villagers from a young age.

And when a severe drought finally came, the villagers cursed the girl, saying that all of this was God’s wrath.

Then the good news came.

Somebody paid attention to the story of the village’s cursed child.

It was a pseudo-religion created by wizards.

They paid a large sum of money to the village and bought the girl.

The girl was sold to a pseudo-religion just like that.

The purpose of a pseudo-religion is magic for humans, by humans, and for humans.

To them, girls were special, so girls were not immediately offered as sacrifices.

However, slash-and-burn villages and pseudo-religions were like hell to her.

In order to study the manifestation of magic, the pseudo-religion conducted a terrible experiment using a girl.

The girl’s mind and body were sick.

And finally the girl was sacrificed.

The girl prayed.

I wish that all beings in this world would go through the same pain as I did.

… That’s how Mare’s nightmare began.

A curse that blasphemes all living things.

Humanity had no choice but to flee.

No matter how strong a being was, it could not exert any power in front of that curse.

This star is over.

The moment everyone thought so, a ray of light came down from the sky.

It was the appearance of the first hero, Hendricks Luther.

***

The beings summoned in times of crisis are the warriors.

So I was prepared to see some terrible sights.

Still, I didn’t expect to see such an unpleasant sight.

As if I had experienced it myself from the side, the feeling of being stabbed in the head was unpleasant beyond imagination.

In fact, among those who experienced a phenomenon similar to mine, there were even people who vomited.

I still have to tell this story.

Prevent the creatures that will be born in this Mare from hating and hurting each other.

That’s probably why I was summoned as a hero.

We spent a day cross-examining the story of the Holy Sword.

Then, based on the organized stories, we started a new meeting.

“I got the story right. Would you like us to announce it like this?”

The tribal union, including Bertus, was of the opinion that it would be nice if the story was made into a cartoon.

“A little… It looks like it needs wrapping, God’s agent.”

Seongguk demanded MSG.

“There is a possibility that the wizards will be harmed.”

In Intrus, the possibility of a new conflict was mentioned.

The meeting showed signs of gradually heating up.

I decided to just leave the meeting room like that.

After all, the conclusion of this meeting had already been decided.

ㅡ Because it was cross-checked to convey it as it is.

That’s right.

If you were going to distort it even a little in the first place, there would be no need for cross-validation.

I conceived the story of the cartoon while listening to the stories of those who were having heated discussions.

First of all, the story I learned through the power of the Holy Sword was a very important part.

But it’s a bit difficult to express this through comics or novels.

ㅡ Why?

The point at which the main character possesses the book is after the first hero, Hendricks Luther, is summoned.

But the things the holy sword showed me are stories of the past.

ㅡ Ah, it’s difficult to describe?

That’s right.

I may have to write this in detail in a book that will be made for fabrication of evidence, but I might have to hand it over for now.

Or did you borrow the mouth of the first hero and briefly explain it later?

Otherwise, since it’s a manga, a narrator is also a good way….

As I was about to organize the story like that, Angelica came over to my side.

Then he quietly refilled my empty teacup with tea.

“Thank you.”

“No.”

Angelica smiled brightly and she stepped back.

… I promised not to show off outside, but anyone with the slightest bit of notice would recognize it right away.

In fact, Bertus is looking at me with a meaningful smile.

ㅡ Hurry up and compose the next story!

Have you lost again?

ㅡ Honestly, haven’t you been working as a writer lately? I’m also curious about the story behind the lady. If the story of the hero comes out, when are you going to write a novel?

From now on, I will only write novels.

ㅡ Really?

Really.

ㅡ I wish it was like that….

No, it’s real?
