How a Hero Lives as a Writer - How a Hero Lives as a Writer chapter 98

98 – A New Genre

Life is a series of choices.

It is a series of choices that have no answers, from trivial matters such as the dinner menu to the serious issue of marriage.

However, the conclusions obtained after contemplation are not always correct.

That’s why regret always follows a choice.

What if we did this here? How would you feel if you did it there?

Why didn’t you buy Bitcoin when it was cheap? Why didn’t they sell it when it was expensive?

A genre that uses such feelings of regret to inject strong drug-like catharsis into the brain.

That’s the regression.

Everyone repeats regret after making a choice, so why haven’t regression items been popular in Marais?

That’s because thinking is harder than you think, even though this is a fantasy world of magic and swords.

When I first brought up the topic of possessed water, the editor-in-chief of the Tribal Federation asked, ‘What kind of principle is that?’

On Earth, magic is a fantasy, but to the people here, magic is a science.

So I searched for a probability or a principle for phenomena such as possession or regression.

Maybe that’s why there were only a handful of return products.

Even that evaluation wasn’t very good.

A genre that would have been impossible to publish had the author been an unknown rookie.

I decided to boldly challenge such a regression.

ㅡ I don’t think it’s that easy….

I do things that are easier said than done.

Because that’s a warrior.

Nodding.

ㅡ Isn’t there a reason why it’s not popular?

There’s a reason why it’s not popular.

ㅡ Probability?

There is that, but the biggest problem is the no jam part.

The beauty of regression is that it knows the future.

But the regressors I found didn’t take advantage of this at all.

Catharsis pickled in cider that comes from knowing the future!

That’s the most important thing, but most of the works focused on things like deceased parents or lovers.

How would readers with a slightly cold heart evaluate such a book?

ㅡ Do you want to be good while you are?

Yes, wouldn’t that be the response?

So you have to do things you could never do otherwise.

For example, a severe drought comes and many people die of starvation.

But how many people can notice this?

Most people just think it’s hardship and move on.

But what if you could go back and prepare for this drought by knowing that it would happen?

ㅡ Uh, uh uh… ?

The intense sensation that just passed through your head is the standard for regression.

Now, let’s go find out the history of Mare!

I stopped by the library for the first time in a while and borrowed a bunch of books about the history of Mare.

As I borrowed so many books and piled them up on my desk, people who came to talk about comics with me looked tired and went away.

Why are you saying that?

ㅡ Wouldn’t it be because the man who said he was taking a break is showing the scene of madness?

Ah, to this extent….

Isn’t it ‘common sense’ to use scrap time?

ㅡ That’s the scene of madness.

I’ve already had enough rest during the winter.

You shouted canned food every time. Why did you respond like this this time?

ㅡ It’s good that you write, but you’re reading a book right now.

The biggest point of regressive sensibility is ‘vicar satisfaction’.

The core of vicarious satisfaction is ‘If it were me… It’s the feeling of ‘.

It is most effective to use what happened in Marais.

ㅡ So you’re going to read all of this?

Because I have plenty of time anyway.

And I don’t read all of this.

I’m only looking for big events that happened in Marais.

ㅡ It should be simple if you use the power of the holy sword….

A waste.

ㅡ A petty guy. So, what kind of story are you going to write about?

I plan to avoid stories of swords and magic.

And we need to prepare a background to make the best use of regression.

It won’t change much if the homeless on the verge of starvation returns.

ㅡ Umm… Are you a merchant?

As expected, Miss Helena!

ㅡ Heung-Heung!

In Marais, the handling of merchants is a little ambiguous.

Nobles treat merchants as riches, and commoners hate them for being proud even though they are not nobles.

But for commerce to work, this merchant plays an important role.

I think it will be useful someday if I get the favor of the merchants in advance.

I don’t know if publishing in winter will be possible, and I’ll be more actively accepting things like Golden Isaac’s new publishing method.

Merchant’s favor carries such a special weight.

So let’s make a work with the merchant as the main character.

ㅡ I’m just writing a novel….

Now that I have realized that my novels have consequences beyond my imagination, I have to think about how to use them 100 percent.

It blows a new genre into novels and comics.

Considering the direction that will benefit Aucklia, improving the ambiguous image of merchants, and gaining their favor at the same time.

Okay, next piece goes to the Merchant with Regression!

***

Four days have passed since then.

I put the big incident that happened in Marais in my head, and based on that, I plotted the return story.

Since the modeling of the main character, the most important merchant, has also been completed, now it is just a matter of writing it.

It took quite a bit of time, but I think a work that will be quite satisfactory will come out with this amount.

So I’d like to start writing right away, but….

ㅡ I have to look around everywhere.

The general manager is annoying because of this?

When I start writing, I think I will be locked out for a while.

So before that, I decided to open the door and check out the progress.

First of all, it was a cartoon.

Crunchy crunch.

“I would like to ask you to be a little more restrained here.”

“Okay!”

… In line with the term cartoon studio, everyone is working like machines in a factory.

I was told to take a break once a week, but I don’t know if I’m resting well.

ㅡ Status board on the right.

Fortunately, it seems that everyone takes turns taking a break once a week.

We’re going to keep replenishing the staff anyway, so it’s going to be even better than now.

I decided to leave the manga studio and go see the editor-in-chief.

“Has the discussion been finalized?”

“Yes, well done.”

The face of the editor-in-chief looks really good.

Anyway, it seems that the contract was concluded in a way that was quite advantageous to Sanghoe.

Then, the speed at which manga will be published in various places in Marais will be even faster.

I’m glad it went smoothly.

“Then let’s talk about my next project.”

“Are you talking about your next project?”

The editor-in-chief glanced at the calendar and looked a little surprised.

Lady is also serialized, and she is in charge of the story and plot of the manga, so it’s surprising that she has time to write new works.

This is enough because I feel more relaxed than when I was serializing daily.

“Yes, the next one. I am thinking of going back to this work.”

“… Is this a story about time reversal?”

“Yes. Still, it’s a slightly different direction from the works that were serialized in Mare.”

I think even the editor-in-chief knew that regression was not a very popular subject.

So, I explained the possibility of the genre of a regression work with a feeling that would tempt the editor-in-chief.

Then the editor-in-chief trembled with an expression like ‘This works!’.

“I will try to adjust the publication time.”

“… You haven’t written it yet?”

“If you are a writer, you will come to me with your manuscript within the next two weeks.”

“Huh.”

You know me too well?

“Comics and regression. Although they are from different cultures, they both have one thing in common: that you were involved. We will examine closely whether it is advantageous to publish simultaneously or with a margin.”

This is a commercial area, so it would be appropriate to entrust it to a publisher.

I have to do what I can.

“Now I have to start securing ‘evidence’, but how is the story with Seong-guk going?”

“Anyway, I have to prepare in various ways, so I am having a little difficulty.”

First of all, it is necessary to create a temple that the Holy Kingdom found somewhere in the ruins.

After that, I need to find out where the relic is buried, and I need an adventurer to retrieve the relic based on that information.

After retrieving the relic, you must hire an archaeologist to prove the relic’s value.

After that, we have to publicize it extensively.

It takes a lot of time, so there should be a story that it is starting soon, but there is no news.

I’m a little anxious.

“Did the Holy Kingdom employ historians or archaeologists?”

“… Let’s check it out.”

This is an atmosphere where I feel like I need to get involved.

“Are there professors in charge of historians and archaeologists at the academy?”

“Yes. I understand that it is leisurely because it is a non-mainstream lecture.”

I guess so.

A lot of data has been lost due to the aftermath of the war and the activities of Intrus.

That’s deadly for historians and archaeologists.

It is not very popular in the first place, but there are many gaps in the information, so the accuracy is low.

It’s bound to be an unpopular study.

“I’m asking just in case, aren’t you from Intrus?”

“Yes, no.”

Since history and archeology aren’t popular, it’s only natural that they don’t have detailed members.

If everyone had talented people, the empire and the Holy Kingdom would have imposed sanctions a little stronger.

This is what I suggested in the first place, so I’ll have to talk about it myself when I have time.

So, are you finished with your business at the store?

“Then, thank you.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Go take a look, Author.”

I shook hands with the editor-in-chief and left the business.

Now, the part where I have to get involved….

“Ah, dwarves.”

I have not been able to pay attention to the studio because I have been concentrating on my work.

How are you doing?

I visited the workshop after a long time.

“Oh, it seems like a long time ago!”

“I’ve been busy lately.”

“I heard the story from Brinson. Are you carrying out the hero’s task?”

Ha ha ha!

Krueger tapped his own knee with a hearty laugh.

“Can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it?”

“If you get any information related to weapons or new technology while peeping into the past, please let us know!”

Krueger then told me what had happened in the workshop while I was gone.

First of all, it is an aberration.

The three dwarves, Kruger, Might, and Gospel, improved the aberration by considering the characteristics of Aucklia.

“It is a structure that can be lifted like this when the riverside freezes.”

“Nice.”

“If the axis of the water wheel is off or the wood is damaged, it is easy to replace.”

“Looks like it.”

Now, the riverside will be completely melted, so I think we will be able to see this aberration in action.

“It was winter, so it was difficult to get supplies. It will be a little easier now.”

“Good.”

“Hmm, but this steam engine is really difficult.”

Kruger told about the trials and errors he had experienced while making steam engines.

I understood the structure and made something similar to it.

However, it was said that it was difficult because of the large damage to the area where the steam hits.

“Where is something like that?”

“There it is.”

At the place where Kruger pointed, there was a model steam locomotive.

It was a fairly decent item, so it could really run if there were railroad tracks.

“Oh….”

“It is frustrating because something is blocked. Any other ideas?”

“Well?”

Hmm….

“Didn’t you say that support was blocked because it was winter?”

“Yes.”

“Then how about getting support from the air?”

“Airborne?”

“Ah, this is called a ‘glider.’”

“What is a glider?”

Ah, things I had briefly thought of and forgot about came to mind.

Gliders, rubber motors, water rockets, parachutes and hot air balloons!

“The principle is very simple, isn’t it?”

If the wagon can’t move because it snows so much, why don’t we just fly in the sky?

Those thoughts crossed my mind when I thought of the Moon of Science, but it came to my mind when I came here.

I spent time chatting with Kruger about flying gear.

The three dwarves were at least my closest friends, so I felt like I had taken a break after a long time.

I brushed off my stress with chatter, and happily locked myself in my room and started writing.

Anyway, the story of Hendricks, the first warrior, has been sorted out.

So until you get a glimpse of the story of the 2nd hero, you can say that you are practically free.

So, after a long time, I voluntarily wrote the first volume of a recurring novel through canning.

In just 8 days!

ㅡ Our hero is a child who can do it if he does it!

Who am I?

A man who writes a novel in 8 days!

… In the first place, regression is a very common genre, so I also used it a lot.

It’s a work that can be used by substituting that genre into Mare, so it can be said that it was easier than writing Lady.

Now, welcome a new genre, Mare!
