1 – Prologue
Reincarnated.
That’s it.
Before my previous life, I remember being a pretty diligent college student.
If it’s my fault, it’s that I neglected to take care of my body while enjoying drinking and dancing.
Do you know?
A cardiac arrest comes at any age and can lead to death within 10 minutes if there is no one to help.
A young man in his 20s who was playing computer games while he could barely afford cigarettes at a convenience store in front of his house could suddenly die.
That’s how it went.
25 Years old.
If you were young, you were young.
But there is a problem.
The place where I was reincarnated was a fantasy world I read before I died.
An authentic fantasy that I had pre-selected for fashion without even reading it all.
He was born as an immoral child in a medieval world with no hopes or dreams.
Fortunately, I knew the setting of this world.
My goal is only one.
To survive by turning this authentic fantasy into a trashy mass market.
I don’t know who sent me here, but watch carefully.
How this novel is smashed.
*
There are such babies.
Bastards who go their own way no matter what others say.
Those who lost even their fathers and mothers because they were trapped in their own trivial thoughts, whether they were behind the times or not.
We call them hipsters with awe and mockery.
Today, when the annual sales of the web novel market have reached 100 billion units, the serialized novels are still crowded with such people.
In an era where you read web novels for killing time to wake up on your commute, is this an authentic fantasy?
Who has ever seen anything like that?
Obviously, writers who write articles like this have never been in the military, let alone at work.
Because of this, more than 80% of the idiots who scolded the web novel version for writing the full version did not complete the 30th episode all year round.
Who is rubbing their sleepy eyes at a post like that and recommending a selection, and why would they push for a recommendation?
Since no one reads it, people who write it are quick to write, and then most of them end up writing on their own.
But are these guys’ posts interesting?
Was it possible?
If it was fun, it would have come out well.
Most of them did not know how to write a story, nor did they have the ability to weave it together.
The majority of aspiring writers do not study writing even if they die.
I don’t know that what people write is not a work but a product, and I don’t follow the general trend when I get Hongdae disease.
Do you think things like reincarnation, recurrence, and constellations have become mainstream?
It’s easy to solve the story and setting, and it’s easy to develop the cider, so it lasts that long.
In the web novel market, where it is difficult to survive even if serialized every day, you are sitting with an original world view.
How long have you been fighting with an amazing story line and great writing skills?
If you take the time to think about that, you roughly cut out the material and print it out in a factory way, and the money will be copied. Why are you doing that unless you are an idiot?
In short, we are spending more money than the complete collection of Korean literature novels on rags stitched together with settings brought from all over the place by authors who are ashamed to be called writers.
These f*cking human centipede bastards.
How long are you going to bite, suck, wrap, take it back and eat it again?
The description is messy, and it is understandable that established writers look at the web novel version pathetically, as they spend money on writing that does not even know the basics of the story.
Ah, of course I’m not criticizing.
If you like instant food, you shouldn’t curse at it.
That’s just how it is.
So, I hated the recent web novel version.
I missed the really proper authentic fantasy that was popular in the 90s.
The brick body and solidly built settings that seem to make readers’ eyes go blind, the development of sticking sweet potatoes in their prayers to suffocate, and the cider that was heavy with each shot, the story that is as old as leather boots. I missed the line.
I wanted to see the writers who were holding on to their will firmly and leading with one stroke, despite the lengthy ‘I’m getting off’ attack from over-immersed readers trying to shake the author, and the previous works and the number of views on the latest episode, which were chewed up like a face.
Did the heavens listen to my earnest wishes?
Falling through the free serialization section, I found a madman.
[Esteria Biography]
From the title, the aura was unusual.
A web novel market that survives only by attracting aggro, the title was the essence.
Because web novel writers live off the number of views.
For nothing, ‘I saved too many heroines and the world was ruined.’ It wasn’t about making the same sentence-type title.
By the way, “Esteria War”?
Just looking at the title gave off a musty smell, like an outdated old book with lots of Chinese characters written on old parchment.
I didn’t even want to click.
So it touched my rebellious temperament.
The title is this sh*t.
I see you’re f*cking confident in your writing?
Come on, bastard, I like it.
I’ll take care of it.
Just try to write like a f*ck.
Don’t scold me with long comments right away.
I clicked on the article with a sad face.
The first thing that caught my eye was the introduction to the work, which I was full of just reading.
「A time when the devil story became an outdated legend that old women used to scare children. Ashes from a giant volcano to the south cover the sky and the world grows colder……. The northern demons, who will cross the frozen sea and advance to the continent, do not miss the opportunity and try to encroach on human territory……. However, the humans of the continent were more interested in who the victor was in this war than the demons they had never seen before…….」
The tightly scrawled text without a single comma in the introduction section touched my heart.
It seemed like I was declaring that I would write my own dick whether you read it or not.
That look aroused nostalgia in me.
The strong backside of the first-generation genre novel writers who led the storyline while ignoring readers’ opinions with their writing skills.
Yes, I like it so far.
But will you even like the work?
I’ve been bluffed like this countless times.
If you look closely, there are many cases where the content is poor.
Originally, a writer is a way to tell a story through a novel.
I calmed down my pounding heart and pressed the first episode.
When the first episode appeared on the screen, what poured in front of me was a long narrative that seemed to pluck out the eyes of the reader.
When I read it with concentration, I was sucked into the world of 「Esteria Electric」.
That day, I ran through all the serialized episodes of 「Esteria Electric」 All night long.
And I, Kim Ji-hoon, a 25-year-old unemployed man born in Korea, gave up his anger.
This was my complete defeat.
This bastard was real.
[This novel aims for authentic fantasy.]
Like the phrase at the end of the work introduction, “The Legend of Esteria” Was a perfect authentic fantasy.
Both the sentence and the narrative were excellent enough to be believed even for an established writer.
I was greeted by characters that seemed alive and a solid world that seemed to be built with reinforced concrete.
It was as if the novel I had been dreaming of had descended into reality.
But that wasn’t the end.
This mad writer put the setting of 「Esteria War」 In the notice section.
That amount is a whopping 150,000 characters!
Writing a book only with settings!
My limbs trembled as if a .50 Caliber bullet had been lodged in my head.
What kind of web novel writer would put an unsold novel set-up with 150,000 characters in it and put it into a notice that doesn’t even cost money!
Someone must recognize this sincerity!
That is the fate of the reader who reads web novels, a noble duty, and a holy mission.
Without even a moment to stop, I wasted an entire day indulging in setup notices.
However, after that day, I didn’t touch 「Esteria Electric」 Like an adult video that I put away after doing everything.
My desire for jeongpan was hot and intense like a fire, but after filling it, I realized more keenly why jeongpan wasn’t the trend.
It was fun.
However, the narrative was basically 5 lines, but the story progressed slowly and the setting was not intuitive.
Because it is a web novel, reading it made my head throb like a literary novel.
So, in the second half, my concentration was scattered and I came to the point where I only read the dialogue.
In the end, I turned around and found myself reading a novel like ‘The Baron’s Youngest Son is a Sword Master’, but paying 100 won per episode.
The novel was great.
However, the waves of the times were too high to go against the waves.
I used to feel like my first love after a long time while looking at 「Esteria Electric」, Which had become a fashion selection before I knew it.
I didn’t dare to read it again even after the completion mark appeared.
Like that, “Esteria War” Was gradually forgotten from my memory.
Three months after that, 14 years have passed since I died of cardiac arrest while fighting people at the Champ Pick window, and was reincarnated as the eldest son of the De Yeevitz family, the owner of the northern part of the Esteria continent and the Marquess of the Oxburg Empire. Until
“f*ck Nimmy, most of the selection list was from the Munchkin Mass Store, so why did you reincarnate into the final edition!”
There’s no way that a guy who suffered a cardiac arrest while playing a game was lucky in his previous life.
I screamed at the sky.
