How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 540

540 – Myth (4)

The more I listened to King Morgan’s story, the more the mystery of the myth seemed to be unlocked.

The great flood caused by Yahweh was originally destruction to wipe out evil humans and reset the world.

In the process, I asked Noah to build an ark and put all kinds of animals on it. That is the Great Flood in the Old Testament.

If the Great Flood played a role of a generational change, it is correct that in many ways the front and rear are inconsistent.

At least as far as I know, the Great Flood was around 2800 B.C., that is, when the Egyptian civilization was still alive.

However, this is only scientifically proven, and seeing that various myths exist all over the world, I felt that the front and back seemed to match.

[Looks confused. not one advice Do not try to understand the transcendents with a mortal mindset. They exist not only in the present, but also in the past and future. A being that transcends time and space and contemplates a world. That’s what ‘God’ is.]

King Morgan, who read my thoughts, gave me advice that wasn’t advice. Thanks to that, I felt like my complicated mind was clearing up a little bit.

As he said, it is impossible for a mortal like me to understand the way the gods think, and furthermore, their lives.

Even the recorded myths must have been written by ‘mortals’, so there must be various interpretations.

Although the Great Flood recorded in the Old Testament occurred in 2800 BC, it is highly likely that it occurred even earlier.

‘In mythology, the gods and their children defeated monsters and other monsters. Is that why there are no monsters on Earth?’

The most famous example is Hercules. Each of the monsters defeated by the great hero is a monster that will lead a country to ruin.

Northern Europe destroyed each other due to Ragnarok, and in the case of Egyptian mythology and Indian mythology, the majority of gods fight against each other.

It is a fact that all animals that could be called ‘monsters’ became extinct in the process. If it weren’t for their active efforts, the Earth would still be plagued by monsters.

‘Looking at something like this, it feels like the puzzle fits together…’

As someone who likes history, I know that it was during the Roman era that Zeus’ religious authority shifted to Christianity.

But as King Morgan just said, gods are beings that transcend time and space. There is no need to wage war in the ‘now’.

So, after waging a war over each other’s interests in the distant past long enough to be recorded as ‘myth’, and then slowly exerting influence through it…

‘······My head hurts.’

Even though I seem to understand, I don’t. I closed my eyes and pressed my brows with my fingers.

In any case, it seems to be true that the gods fought a war on Earth.

Mere mortals would have recorded it as a myth without knowing it.

On the other hand, the problem here is that the god of the earth came over and spread the ideology so suddenly.

‘It’s not the Soviet Union, what are you doing…’

At least he came after killing all the monsters and monsters.

Even before the idea spread, the gods including Luminus must have been eating well and getting along well.

Of course, no matter how much I grumble, nothing will change. The priority is to figure out in detail what happened in the past, which is just a myth.

“First of all, I understand what you mean. As His Majesty knows, ideology is the most terrifying law. If not taken carelessly, the country could be divided.”

[I heard that a revolution broke out because you spread your ideas to the country of the dwarves? As a result, the world’s economy was paralyzed.]

“······That is somehow solved.”

I smiled shyly and scratched my cheek.

It didn’t change that me or the god of the earth or the god of the earth made the world go to sh*t once. It’s just a difference in scale.

King Morgan laughed at my reaction, then raised his hand and opened his mouth in a patronizing tone.

[I made Jim laugh, so tell me what you want to know. I can answer whatever Luminus allows.]

“Before that, Your Majesty doesn’t know who the gods that Ruminus-sama annihilated are?”

[Yes. It’s hard to figure out because even the records have been completely obliterated.]

“If so, if I arbitrarily write a myth and arbitrarily create a god, does that god exist?”

I’m most curious about this I am a writer who is currently exerting a tremendous influence on the world whether I like it or not.

What would happen if I arbitrarily wrote a book related to mythology and the people who read the book came to believe in the myth?

Will it serve as an opportunity for a new god to be born, or will nothing be left because it did not exist at all?

King Morgan seemed to be quite an interesting subject too, as usual, he stroked his chin before opening his mouth.

[That’s an interesting opinion. Hagiya God is those who exist with the faith of the believer. I don’t know if faith comes from the existence of God, but it’s the other way round… has there been such a case in your world?]

“It’s similar, but I’m not sure.”

It’s ambiguous, but Jesus and Shakyamuni are such examples. These are real people who will later be reborn as religions.

They are saints who have myths equivalent to those of gods, but in a completely different direction.

‘The problem is that they don’t know how they receive faith.’

So far, I have only said ‘god of the earth’, but I have no idea whether Yahweh or other gods are included in it. It’s just speculation anyway.

The same goes for Jesus and Shakyamuni. However, I heard from Luminous that they also ascended to heaven as transcendental beings.

This is the part that requires a lot of thought and is the part that needs to be handled with the most care.

Regardless of the East and the West, there have been countless times when conflicts have occurred because of one religion.

[Hmm. Then it will be a bit embarrassing. Are you going to write a book about this story later?]

“Nope?”

My head hurts from dealing with blood and steel right now, but I have no intention of overturning Shinhwa.

In response to my firm answer, King Morgan questioned me with a rare, absurd expression.

[Then why did you ask?]

“I’m curious.”

[······· Tsk. This is why scholars.]

King Morgan, who initially made a bewildered expression, but soon clicked his tongue and grumbled. I’m sorry, but there’s too much sh*t I sprinkled.

I want to write about the past of Luminus, who was smitten with Kratos, but I can’t handle that.

Of course, if you get permission from Luminus, you will be able to finish it somehow.

However, given the characteristics of this world where the priesthood is strong, it is clear that a tremendous shock will be struck.

‘Besides, I have to finish with blood and steel.’

To be honest, the material was on the verge of boiling over, but I’m barely suppressing it.

Even at the time of writing Zenon’s life, I wanted to use blood and steel, but I barely endured it.

Above all, even if there is no record, there is too little. At the very least, you should be able to read and write various records.

‘They say you have to cross the sea to do that…’

At that point, even if it’s not me, I wonder if someone else will say it directly.

Although there is a much higher chance of being buried as a heretic.

“Can you tell us about the past of not only Luminus-sama but also the other gods? Hirt-sama is the goddess of nature and their mother, so she must have been in a difficult position in many ways, and I wonder what Mora-sama was like.”

[Mora protected the lives of the world that was headed for catastrophe due to the war of the gods. However, its power is weak compared to the god of war and the god of the sea, so only a few races have been saved. Humans, the origins of all races, and beastmen and dwarves. These three.]

Elves are a race from which angels ripped off their wings and came down, and demons, as everyone knows, originate from demons.

I nodded my head in the same way that the origin of all races is human. In fact, I had doubts about this part before.

Mixed blood between humans and other races existed, but mixed blood between different races did not exist.

‘I thought that if Mendel had come into this world, he would have torn up his genetics and his own breasts.’

This is a part that should be approached not with scientific grounds, but with mythological grounds.

Furthermore, it was also revealed that the origin of all races was human, and another question arose here.

“Does that mean there were more human-based races than there are now?”

[Sure. There are too many to mention individually, so find out for yourself.]

“So you’re saying that there was a separate god who created dwarves and beastmen?”

[Of course. Humans are the first humans created by imitating Luminus and Mora, the twins born to the god of the sea and Hirt. And dwarves and beastmen…]

King Morgan paused for a moment, then glanced up. I followed that glance and moved my gaze.

Warm sunlight streams through the open ceiling. As expected, it seemed to notice Luminus.

Seeing no response, it seems that permission has been granted. King Morgan nodded and continued in a grave voice.

[Brothers born after twin siblings. In other words, they are the children of the god of the sea.]

“······”

[I’ll just say this far. No matter how burdensome it is, I want to avoid touching that guy’s feelings.]

I think I know roughly how the war went.

The children born to the confined sea god and Hirt were not the only twin brother and sister gods.

Beastmen and Dwarves do not believe in Luminus or Mora, but follow Hirt. It is highly likely that it is because of the repulsion imprinted on a tribal basis.

‘Come to think of it, are there any dwarves or beastmen who use divine power?’

I don’t know magic, but I haven’t seen anyone using divine power. I thought it was a cultural reason, but there was a deeper reason.

However, I didn’t feel that Luminous or Mora discriminated against them or anything like that.

It’s just the tragedy that broke out in the war, and furthermore, it’s because of the culture imprinted on mortals.

“I understand. Then…”

[no. Now I’m going to ask for luggage. No, that would be a suggestion.]

In the solemn atmosphere, I was about to move on to another question, but King Morgan cut me off.

For a moment, I was puzzled by his words that it was a suggestion, not a question, and I blinked my eyes when I heard what he said next.

[I think I know what you want and what knowledge you want. But it’s too massive and I feel like I’m the only one at a loss. Even my descendants.]

“······Do you want anything?”

[hahahaha! They are also my descendants. The descendants who came before also told me not to speak at length.]

When I told him to put away all the rhetoric and get to the point, King Morgan let out a satisfied laugh.

Then he rose from the throne and began to slowly descend.

[Aren’t you curious? How is it that Jim, who has escaped the power of God, is confined to this place?]

“······”

[The reason is simple. Jim, who became a slave, resisted the demons until the end, but was defeated, and the demons became interested in Jim and conducted all sorts of experiments. It seems to have become a plaything for the demons.]

“Are you asking to find His Majesty’s body? A body that is believed to be still in use by devil worshipers?”

[Well? how did you know Did the descendants who came before tell you?]

“That’s not it…”

I scratched my cheek and smiled awkwardly. After reading too many novels, I naturally inferred.

King Morgan stared at my delicate face and then, as if nothing had happened, smiled and came down from the podium.

Before long, King Morgan arrived in front of me. He continued to explain while wandering around me.

[You said you came from another world, so it could be. Anyway, Jim wants only one thing. Burning Jim’s corpse, supposedly possessed by demons. And getting Jim out of this f*cking place.]

“······”

[Of course, I have to give a reasonable answer. What do you want? The force that enabled me to rule the whole west? Or honor? wealth? say anything I’ll listen to everything.]

Even though he is in a vengeful spirit state, King Morgan has the ability to do so. Aren’t you still avoiding the authority of God?

In particular, the armed forces that were said to dominate the entire west. It is very likely that this is the alpha and omega.

In this era, military force is directly related to honor and wealth. This is a value that will not change no matter how much time passes.

I stared blankly at King Morgan, and a question came to my mind and I asked him.

“What did Grandpa Clark choose?”

[He refused, saying it wasn’t the time yet. In order to do that, I had to lay a plate, and he asserted that he would lay the plate himself.]

As King Morgan said. The Myshal family was murdered at every opportunity by devil worshipers until Grandpa Clark took his hand.

There is even a situation where the father’s mother, that is, the grandmother, was killed by a devil worshiper.

But not anymore. The Devil Worshipers have no time to care for House Myshal, and their power has weakened considerably.

Even if it wasn’t King Morgan’s suggestion, it would be more than appropriate for subjugating devil worshipers, and it would be no different than a genius.

[ruler. Will you accept?]

King Morgan asks me again in a softly tempting voice.

I scratched my head and answered without any lies.

“Aren’t you interested?”
