How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World - How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 699

699 – Novelty (2)

Cecily’s novel idea gave me a moment to think about it, but in the end, it came down to seeing a myth as a myth.

There are overflowing parts that have not been scientifically explained, but explaining them one by one takes time.

Moreover, the most important thing in a myth is what it conveys.

As I always say, mythology fulfills its duty as the first philosophy.

“First of all, everyone should know that the world didn’t suddenly appear out of nowhere. Voila! Water, which can be said to be the source of life, appeared, and nature also appeared.”

“Does that mean that the son of the father of all things is Hirt-sama?”

“Yes.”

“Then, did Luminus-sama and Mora-sama come into being through their relationship?”

“Yes.”

At my answer, Cecily put on a dazed expression. The other person is also the face of what that means.

Anyway, the fact that the gods were born as close relatives seems to have shocked them in many ways. You won’t understand

However, as I said earlier, it is better to accept myths as myths. Moreover, depending on the interpretation, it is ambiguous to call them close relatives.

“I don’t understand it, but it can be divided according to various interpretations. With the appearance of the sea, nature really must have appeared ‘naturally’.”

“Umm…”

“Myths are originally characterized by a lot of room for interpretation. This was a common point of view in our world as well.”

There is also a decisive cause that they cannot easily accept. That the gods are openly revealing their existence.

Three gods are currently called ‘gods’ by mortals, but in reality they are no different from ‘kings’. Kings who rule the kingdom called the world.

Besides, since I’ve often observed the human aspect, they are beings that are not far off.

‘Even the concept of human rights was conveyed, so what…’

The era in which myths appeared is ancient times. And the ancient royalty considered ‘bloodline’ as their life.

There is a hypothesis that the reason why there are many close relatives in Shinhwa is related to this.

For example, Norse mythology has fewer close relatives than Greek and Roman mythology. Just like the myth that the Vikings believe in, there is only blood and flesh.

So, the myth I will be writing in the future should also leave room for various interpretations.

“Originally, myths are stories that have to be continued from the distant past.

“Didn’t you say that your world was once destroyed?”

“Yes.”

Mora told me before. Great destruction also occurred on Earth, but the reason why the myth remains intact.

Many people divide time into past, present, and future. And the gods treat time only as past and present.

Also, it is said that the gods set time as a ‘spatial background’. You can come and go at any time of the day.

Usually, if something happened in the past, it should be affected in the present as well, but that’s not the case. Because it is a completely separate space.

So the gods go back to the past and resolve various conflicts so that the present is not affected. That’s how the Great Flood happened.

In contrast, it is not completely unaffected. The few people who survived the destruction vaguely remember it and leave it as a record.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand what I’m talking about. It took me a while to understand, so I just thought it was a similar principle to a parallel world.

“But the story couldn’t be told because the gods of this world fought in the present, not the past. The gods of time didn’t do their job.”

“For what reason?”

“Luminus-sama did it to revive her second wife, the goddess of wisdom…”

From noble mtl dot net

“··· ···”

“It is an interpretation that a war without wisdom leaves nothing but madness.”

Ruminus said it himself. She said that she did all she could to save Wis, the goddess of wisdom, somehow.

However, the ‘death’ that occurred in the ‘present’ cannot be reversed even by the god of time. Because you can’t bring the dead back from the past.

Both humans and even gods have souls. Even if you put the soul of the past into the present body, it will naturally come out because the bowl does not fit.

This is the reason why it is very difficult to ‘return’ even if you have enormous divine power. Because everything between ‘now’ and ‘past’ has to be removed.

“It’s said to be a myth, but it’s also the story of Luminus-sama. Ruminus-nim used to be crazy until he met the goddess of wisdom.”

“It’s interesting. It feels like something is sticking to me.”

“The charm of Shinhwa.”

Myths have a lot of room for interpretation. Take Zeus from Greek and Roman mythology as an example.

Many people think of Zeus as the supreme god and a playboy. Garbage that harasses women at every opportunity.

There is also another interpretation here, that Zeus tried to protect his orphans while putting a stigma on himself.

If you and I call each other the sons of Zeus, it means that no one else can easily touch them.

The ordeal that will be inflicted on that child means Hera’s wrath. This is a fairly in-depth analysis.

“You mean that there is a separate god who created beastmen and dwarves?”

“Exactly. Beastmen and dwarves tend to believe in Hirt-sama rather than Luminus-sama or Mora-sama? It’s because of their instincts imprinted at the level of their race. Among humans, people who worship Hirt-sama are similar to this. .”

“Can you tell me who you are?”

Leona asked with her expectations. Although she is of mixed blood between a beast and a human, culturally she is closer to a beast.

I put on a slightly troubled expression and then glanced at Mora. She only shrugged her shoulders as if to take care of it.

I know who the god created the beastmen is because I heard from Mora. However, the process leading up to the creation of the beastman is a bit different.

First of all, it would be better to tell the name of God. I replied to Leona, who was looking forward with her golden eyes sparkling.

“His name is Neka. He is in charge of various aspects, but he is in charge of animals especially. He is one of Luminus-sama and Mora-sama’s brothers.”

“Huh? Hirt-nim gave birth to other people too?”

“Yes. Because nature includes animals and plants. Anyway, Lady Neka created the first human in the form of a god. Because humans are also included in animals.”

It is easy to think of them as the Adam and Eve of this world. However, the story that will appear in the future is not like that at all.

“However, even to those humans, ‘wild nature’ was given to them, and the rest of them mated with other animals. The beings that were born as a result are beastmen.”

“······What?”

Leona blinks as if the content is somewhat shocking. Other people are no different.

Bestiality is also a content that appears in all myths. That would be even more shocking.

In this world, even beastmen do not mate with animals. Even if there is a tendency to discriminate against mixed races, bestiality is avoided.

I was thinking about how to explain it, and then I came up with an appropriate example and opened my mouth.

“It can be said that the characteristics of humans come out intact. Humans form a relationship with other races, resulting in mixed blood, but other races do not? Even when humans mate with monsters, they can conceive or give birth to children. “

“Uh… Well… That’s a bit surprising. Did you have a myth like this in your world?”

“There is a myth that the world was destroyed by a child born to an animal. In the myth of my country, a bear turned into a human and married the supreme god.”

Later, Neka noticed the birth of a beastman and belatedly removed the wild nature of humans.

However, since beasts are of mixed human and animal blood, it is ambiguous to remove their wild nature, so they are left behind. This is the reason why the current beastman remains wild.

“So, what about dwarves? How were dwarves created?”

“Dwarves also originated from humans. Humans in the past were so weak that they had no choice but to live in hiding. That hiding place was the inside of Gra, the goddess of the earth.”

“What is inside…?”

“The uterus.”

My son-in-law became calm in an instant. These are roughly expected reactions.

“During a breeding life there, semen splashed on the ground, and a dwarf appeared as a result. This is the story.”

“Uh… Didn’t Lady Gra get angry?”

“She adores herself, so why would she be angry?”

“Well, by the way, it’s strange. All races are actually human in origin. Then what happened to the elves?”

A question from Arwen flew in. Elves are a race that has become mortal by being banished from the world of the gods.

Outwardly, they are very similar to humans, but unlike other races, their origins are ambiguous. If you see that there is mixed blood, it is certain that it is of human origin.

Of course I heard about this too. It’s a pretty interesting story, so I’m definitely going to include it once.

“If you look closely at elves, their origins are human. A strong human soul becomes an angel. In return, you must get permission from the highest god.”

“What is a strong soul?”

“Here’s a great example.”

I pointed to Grandpa Clark, who was sitting across from me, and answered. Then everyone’s eyes turned to Grandpa.

Grandpa Clark said in a puzzled voice when he was suddenly pointed out.

[You mean me?]

“Yes. Where did you say your grandfather used to be?”

[Valhalla. It is a place where powerful spirits gather since ancient times.]

“A soul that has gone through an ordeal close to asceticism becomes strong like a grandfather. That soul is chosen by the supreme god and an angel is born. Angels are said to be the bodyguards that support the gods since ancient times, right?”

“Oh…”

They each expressed admiration for the interesting content. I was pretty surprised when I first heard it too.

Usually Shinhwa eats probabilities in most cases, but not as much as elves. I am proud to say that I was chosen by God.

“This is the reason why the angels rebelled. Some angels threatened Luminus-sama, saying that the god who destroyed my father dared to rule the world. Because of that, he ripped off his wings and came down to earth.”

“Then what about demons? I know that demons were born because of the fall of Gerios Kingdom. Is that also related to the father of all things?”

“Yeah. But it’s more of a side effect than a curse. It’s a case where the rest of the soul couldn’t stand it because you tried to evolve it too quickly.”

Originally, evolution is a gradual process. However, the demons forcibly advanced the time due to witchcraft.

The reason demons become demons is because their souls are completely destroyed and they lose their rationality as humans.

Is there really a race that is suitable for a ‘tragedy’ like the demons? Probably not.

“It’s strange that all races have human origins. Each race has its origins as well.”

“I didn’t know that Luminus-sama had a companion. Perhaps Mora-nim also has a companion…”

Mari, who was about to ask a question according to her stream of consciousness, bit her mouth shut. It’s a belated expression of regret.

But now Mora is the second generation. The memory of the first generation was inherited, but it is a separate existence.

In response, Morado shrugged her shoulders and said it didn’t matter.

“Don’t worry. There is, but it’s meaningless. I’m a second generation.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that I was destroyed once during the Great Destruction. My brother resurrected me. I don’t know anything else, but I had to somehow maintain the day and night.”

Day and night mean the sun and the moon, symbolizing the flow of time. Without one, time does not pass.

When Mora explained that way, everyone nodded. As long as you listen to this far, nothing will happen.

Marie listened to her story in silence, and she asked with a slightly wary face if she couldn’t overcome her curiosity.

“Then Mora-sama is…”

“I’m asking the same question in case they’re not married. I’m pure now. Got it?”

“Instead, you have memories.”

“It’s because they are separate beings. How can even their thoughts be so similar?”

Mora looked back and forth between me and her Marie with her astonished face. I can roughly guess what Marie was thinking.

I smiled slightly as I looked at Marie, who was still suspicious, and Mora, who was busy persuading.

[Can I ask you a question?]

At that time, Grandpa Clark asked me a question in his characteristic gruff voice. He turned his attention to his grandfather.

Because he was in a skeleton state, I couldn’t make out his expression properly, but I’m sure he had a serious face.

At last, when everyone’s eyes turned to him, Grandpa Clark got the point right.

[I wonder what purpose they are spreading myths for. It can be a pretty risky adventure.]

That’s right. To be safe, it is better not to spread myths.

However, not only the devil worshipers, but even the father of all are hostile to me.

It is a country protected by the gods, but it can be threatened at any time. This is an inevitable fate.

“You’re right. But shouldn’t I at least finish what I started? If we leave it as it is, humanity will have no choice but to stay in the age of ‘myth’ for the rest of its life.”

[It’s as if they’re still talking about the Age of Mythology.]

“The gods are protecting us, so it won’t be wrong.”

Even if this world misses the timing, it has missed it badly. Technological development goes beyond the Middle Ages to modern times, and myths exist.

Even if you have a civilization level similar to Earth in the future, it will be difficult to escape. As long as the existence of God is clear, there is nothing we can do about it.

I don’t know if there will be another great destruction in the meantime, but that is the purpose the Father of all things wants.

“I will cut myself off completely. That is my purpose.”

[Is it really possible?]

If the father of all things is restored, there is no hope in this world.

“It’s not impossible.”

Though that will never happen in my lifetime.
