How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World

Chapter 17

If you ask me what I have been interested in since I was reincarnated here, there are many things, but if I had to pick one thing, I would say ‘history’.

Think about it. It is filled with new histories, not the history that we have taken for granted in our lives.

World War I or World War II that changed the fate of the earth has disappeared, and there is no General Yi Sun-sin and King Sejong who overturned the fortunes of the Republic of Korea.

In fact, rather than saying no, it is a phenomenon caused by the planet itself, but it is still very interesting. In my previous life, I tended to find the history I was curious about not only on the Internet but also through books.

So when I was at home, I read novels, and if I couldn’t stand it, I read through history books several times. Unlike novels, history has definite causes and effects, and although it is subjective, it contains various contents, so it was enough to arouse interest.

‘There are a lot of books in the library. I want to read it quickly.’

In previous lives, the day after Monday is Tuesday.

I jotted down my notes while waiting for the history class to start. Thanks to yesterday’s mistake, I brought my lecture notes today.

In the lecture notes, the history of this world that I have compiled separately is analyzed, but it is not simply the history of a specific country.

In terms of past life, it was an analysis of what events occurred in ‘World War II’, what battles took place, and what characters were active.

And in this world, just like World War II on Earth, there was a ‘tribal war’ that occurred as the conflict between tribes deepened. This is an event that took place exactly 300 years ago, and it is a major event in which war was fought regardless of humans, dwarves, elves, beasts, and demons.

‘It’s hard to analyze because it’s a war between races and not between humans.’

Although elves have superior abilities than other races, they often have self-sufficiency due to their unique ideology of selection, ignorance, and arrogance.

Why the dwarves sided with humans is simple. Because the number of humans was overwhelming, and they bought the most Dwarf weapons and had a bad relationship with the elves.

At that time, Suin was treated as a slave by humans and attached to the side of the elves, and the demons were divided into two factions, ‘Anger’ and ‘Temperance’, and fired magic at each other.

What do the two races have in common is that they have suffered great damage from humans? After that, the relationship between humans and beasts got worse and worse, and even after the generation of elves changed, they were on the bad side.

But, of course, the most complex of these is human beings. Although it may seem like they are collusion on the outside, there are many cases where all kinds of politics and conspiracy tricks are on the inside, and there are many cases where they eat their flesh.

In addition, a ‘hero’ who always appears in difficult times appeared and made a mark in history.

‘Each race suffered a lot of damage, but of course the Dwarfs were the ones who benefited the most. Because I made a lot of money and there were few casualties.’

What if another race had touched the dwarf? It is very likely that the tribal wars were leaning to one side rather than a draw with only scars.

‘By the way, what happened to the elf so that it collapsed on its own? Was it too shallow?’

There were various large-scale battles in the tribal wars, and there are books containing the process until that battle took place. As I read these books, I had no choice but to raise a number of questions.

Unfortunately, however, most of the history books I have read are written from a human point of view, so there are only speculations, and I do not know why the elves left the elves. However, looking at the generational change that occurred right after the end of the war, it was clear that it was related.

‘That’s probably why Aiker, who was the main force of the elves, was suddenly arrested. Anyway, no matter where you go, the problem is the kkondae.’

The war came to an end after a long, long period of 10 years. Since the war has been going on for 10 years, with the exception of the Dwarves, there is no choice but to inflict enormous damage. In particular, on the human side, some kingdoms could not overcome financial difficulties and went bankrupt or absorbed by the Minerva Empire.

The war between races is over, but the war between humans is not over.

‘If you look at it this way, it means that all places where humans live are the same.’

Just as the Cold War broke out between the United States and the Soviet Union after World War II ended in a previous life, this world has also gone through a similar process. The only difference is that magic developed rapidly, not science or engineering.

The problem is that it has developed at this level now. In the past, you can roughly see how high-order abilities were in magic. Humans would have literally only been able to use the chosen ones.

“Well…”

“… …”

“…yes?”

While my concentration was slightly broken due to worrying, I later realized that someone was staring at me in front of me. I removed my gaze from the notebook and raised my head slowly.

I was finally able to reach the face beyond the thin waist line and the chest that showed my presence, and I came across the green eyes full of curiosity behind the round glasses. I blinked and could recognize the person I was meeting with.

“…Prof?”

Professor Elena Heavensinger is the professor in charge of history.

Professor Elena is a beautiful woman who has an intellectual image by tying her light green hair together and wearing glasses, but her biggest feature is her elongated ears.

You would have noticed by this time, Professor Elena is an ‘elf’, a race known to be the incarnation of beauty and chosen by God among various races.

You might ask why the elves are in Halo Academy, but it’s not really that strange. As I said before, a generational change took place in the Elves after the Tribal War, and that generational change included active exchanges with different races.

That is why she can serve as a professor at Halo Academy. She also has professor Elena, as well as a professor among muhaks and she is an elf freshman. Although she unfortunately doesn’t seem to have any elven freshmen in literature.

“Did you write all of this?”

While I was blinking my eyes to grasp the situation, Professor Elena pointed to the notebook and asked me. I moved her gaze to follow her finger where she was pointing.

Maybe it was because of this guy’s concentration, he didn’t even know who was watching right in front of him. Still, it wasn’t a note about Zeno’s biography, so there was no big problem.

I nodded my head to answer her question. Professor Elena pinched her chin with her hand and looked at my notes and me, then she opened her mouth quietly.

“Can you show me a minute?”

“Yes. What…”

I gave her a note and checked the time, and there were about 10 minutes left until class started. She came about 20 minutes ago last week too, so there’s nothing special about it. It just makes me a little embarrassed to show interest in my writing.

While I waited with a bit of trepidation, Professor Elena looked at my notebook carefully. She occasionally opened her eyes and caressed her chin, as if she was thinking about something.

After that, Professor Elena, who read through the last page, drew out a brief critique.

“The analysis is pretty well done. The situation between each race is well explained within the framework of the tribal war, and the cause and effect are clear. Wouldn’t it be good to submit it as a thesis?”

Professor Elena, who was giving the critique, corrected it with an ah, as if she realized something too late.

“No. This isn’t written in the form of a thesis in the first place, isn’t it? Still, if it’s like this, it’s great. You write really well?”

“Chi, thank you for the compliment.”

“You said Isaac? Who taught you these things? Your writing skills are unusual?”

Professor Elena asked me, pointing a finger at the notebook in one hand. I pondered on what to answer, and came up with an answer as if embarrassed.

“I learned it myself.”

“really?”

“Yeah.”

I can’t tell you what I learned at the university in my previous life, even if my mouth is ripped. Elena nodded her head at my answer, and she opened her mouth in a very surprised voice.

“Last week and today, sitting in the front row, it seems that you are very interested in history?”

“It’s fun.”

If nothing else, these words were sincere. I liked history in my previous life, but now the more I dig, the more stories come out, stimulating my imagination.

Professor Elena also looked at me with a curious expression to see if I could feel the sincerity in my answer.

“Wait a minute.”

She returned the notebook to me and left the classroom with only those words. For a moment, I was able to come to my senses with the voice I heard from the left.

“Seeing that he is praised by his professors, I think Isaac has excellent writing skills?

It was Lina. She clenched her chin and looked at me with blue eyes of her interest and concern.

I blinked slightly at her question for a moment, and then I smiled awkwardly while stroking the convex pen-hook at the middle part. Lina smiled brightly in spite of my naive laughter.

“Does Isaac know the history of our demons?”

This time on the right. Following her voice, she shifted her gaze to meet Nina’s completely opposite red eyes. Of course, Cecil.

I listened to her question, pondered it, then shook my head.

Unfortunately, the demons maintained a closed position until the publication of Zeno’s biography, so there was very little information.

Even if there were history books about demons, they were all from a human point of view, so it was very subjective.

“No. I don’t know much about it, except for the indiscriminate massacre of demons during the founding process of the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Savior. As you know, demons hardly ever interacted with the outside world until a few years ago.”

“Um… well that’s it too. So how many copies can I get you? You can ask Daddy later.”

“really?”

I looked at Cecily, eyes wide open at her unexpected favor. Cecily grinned at my reaction and opened her mouth with her playful tone.

“Molon. Instead, there is one condition.”

“what is that?”

“Call me your sister.”

“Yeah?”

When I was puzzled by her absurd condition, Cecily glared at me while still maintaining a playful tone.

As she approached me, I couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

“Sister, try. Why? Are you shy?”

“Sister Cecily.”

“… …”

“Did you?”

Now it was Cecily’s turn to panic. I’m not sure what kind of reaction she wanted to get from me, but she’s used to calling people older than me her brother or sister.

What is difficult in the yard where there are already older brothers and sisters?

Cecily made a face that said no to my so simple answer, and then turned into a pout. Then he turns her head and grunts, kicking her tongue.

“Sheesh. It’s not funny. Come to think of it, did you say you have a real sister?”

“Put.”

While Cecily grumbled, Lina, watching the situation, smirked slightly. Of course she was, but there was no reason Cecily couldn’t hear it.

“Huh? Lina. Are you sure you’re laughing at me?”

“No? Maybe Cecily heard it wrong?”

“I don’t think so…”

I waited for Professor Elena to come while the two women with me were chatting. For reference, there are Lina and Cecily, and the reason Marie isn’t in the classroom is because she hates history. She seems to have heard at first glance that she trembles when it comes to history.

There wasn’t even that Jackson guy who tried to slap me in the humanities class yesterday. Obviously history is boring, unless you’re interested, it’s the same everywhere. Maybe that’s why, there were only about 30 people sitting in the classroom.

“Come on. Here’s the book.”

“…what is this?”

After a while, Professor Elena returned to the classroom and handed me a thick book. It was an old book that smelled of musty paper, but there was no title on the cover.

When I asked him about the book, Professor Elena answered her.

“I interpreted the history books of the elves in their official language. Elves tend to write books in their own language.”

“Yes? Ji, really, this is…”

“Yeah. That’s right. A history book that I saw through the eyes of an elf, not a human. I found it by chance in the library.”

“Wow…”

I glanced at the worn-out book with twinkling eyes. Although it looked old and unsightly, it was a more valuable treasure to me than any other item.

Through this history book, you can decide what kind of race the elves in this world are, and what settings to add to the elves that will appear in Xenon’s biography. I was still thinking about how to describe the elf, but Professor Elena helped me in a timely manner.

“Thank you, Professor. How should I use this grace…”

“I don’t really need to thank you, are you taking another class after this class is over?”

Then she continued with a friendly smile.

“If not, I want to ask if you can come and visit me for a moment.”
