62 – Something is wrong with the heroes of this world
Passasac Mansion.
As expected, rooms 209 through 201 were all equipped with special dungeons.
The result of searching every now and then.
With the end of #201 today, all special dungeons have been destroyed.
‘…I didn’t know that the drawing could be done so quickly.’
It was all thanks to the landlord.
There were only 1-star monsters in all special dungeons, but that was a benefit to me.
Because you can get fragments at the same time as drawing a picture book.
I can’t even get loot anyway, so there’s no benefit to catching high-level monsters.
‘It seems that at least half of the 1-star monsters are filled.’
In an instant, various 1-star monster fragments were accumulated.
To the point where I don’t know which monster to evolve first.
‘It would be better to make everything up to 2 stars as soon as you can afford it. It’s a must.’
At that time, happy worries continued.
A letter lying in front of the house came into view.
The iron rice bowl picked up the letter.
─To be safe, I will read it first.
“Just give it to me.”
─···.
When I opened it, it was a letter from the landlord.
I looked around once. Of course, no one was watching. I went straight into the house, sat down on the floor, and read the letter slowly.
「I received the message well. You do not have to pay the monthly rent for each lake. 210 Will also not be accepted. There is nothing to spend money on in this world. Have a mansion, just.”
I didn’t call because I was told to refrain from contacting him.
Instead, I asked a little bit about the monthly rent via text message before, but there was no reply.
I thought you just read it.
I didn’t expect to send a letter like this.
Starting with an article that suddenly said that he would not receive monthly rent.
「Someone seems to have killed the author of this world. But unfortunately, I’m being pointed out as the culprit and I’m being chased. I will not be able to set foot in this world for the time being, so I will send you a farewell letter.”
Confused content was written.
The author died.
I could understand why Kim Soo-han’s blessing disappeared after reading that paragraph.
‘No matter how much I think about it, I don’t think this is my fault. There’s no way the divine being died because of me.’
And the postscript written at the bottom was longer than the text.
「PS:
I am a parody writer.
The prophecy read by Lee Young-woong was partially adapted by me, so don’t put too much faith in it.
And you ordered books on the history of the world you used to live in?
These books are rubbish, a kind of history books that are inconsistent with the prophecies.
These are the books I secretly stole and released.
By the way, the world you lived in before and the world you live in now are fundamentally different. Most humans in this world have souls.
I know you’ll be embarrassed to reveal this indiscriminately.
It is unknown whether I will survive until the end of this world, so I will tell you in advance.
For more details, if I were alive, I’d meet you at the ending.
Enough then.
Ah. I’m not the real culprit, so it’s unfair.”
I tried to organize my thoughts.
Sure.
The novel in which Han Seok-ho is the main character is a book of prophecy.
The story of Kim Soo-han’s transference after reading the prophecy.
A novel in which Kim Soo-han is the main character is also a book of prophecy.
In addition.
The novel I read is an adaptation of the prophecy in which Kim Soo-han is the main character.
‘Is this correct? There is no other interpretation.’
I looked at the books piled up in the corner.
「There is something wrong with the heroes of this world.」
This book I received from the bookstore today is not a prophetic book, but a history that has already happened…
‘It’s so complicated I’m going to die. I’ll organize it properly and let you know.’
I thought about it again step by step.
Books written by writers who are presumed to be divine beings.
There are a total of three types of books.
First.
A book of prophecy written down by the writer about the future he wants.
Anyway, if you write down a prophecy, it is assumed that the future flows according to the prophecy unless there is a big change.
Second.
A book of parody prophecy adapted by a parody writer.
This is just a delusion note.
I don’t even know the exact identity of the parody writer.
Last.
Either it flowed according to the prophecy, or it went wrong in the middle.
One of the two, a history book.
‘Is it because of people like me that the prophecies are out of line? Now that this book is also said to be out of date… It must have been because Kuroda Ryosuke noticed the writer’s existence.’
I remembered the oni I met in the back room.
The oni’s name was Ryoji Kuroda.
It was strange that I had the same name as Ryosuke, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Only, when Bobbin scanned my soul and searched for two exits.
I noticed that the world I used to live in was also connected to the back room, and I thought, maybe?
So I took a moment to ask.
I wonder if Oni and Ryosuke have some kind of connection.
I know that makes no sense.
I’m just asking a question, so there’s nothing to lose.
But to my surprise.
The oni knew the Kuroda Ryosuke I knew.
Ability, appearance, even personality.
Everything the other described about Ryosuke matched perfectly.
The name Ryoji Kuroda was also given to him by Ryosuke.
In other words, the close friend the oni was talking about was Ryosuke Kuroda.
Anyway.
Ryosuke once visited the back room.
The Oni says Ryosuke left these words behind.
I will free the whole world from the writers.
What I can tell from those words.
It was said that Ryosuke also knew about the existence of a writer.
‘…You have to read it first to understand.’
I picked up the book and decided to finish it all within today.

─Salary, live!
A kkaebi who reads books clearly.
─Please stop reading. With the capacity of your brain, you can’t store it anyway.
─Shut up, shut up!
─I’ll give you a minus 200 points out of 10 applied points.
An iron rice bowl hanging on the side.
Amidst the commotion, I silently read the book.
The development of events is mostly skipped.
I read the monologues of Ryosuke Kuroda quickly.
「I realized that the humans in this world are puppets without souls. Very few people have souls.”
I hesitated for a moment at this point.
If that statement is true.
‘No matter how active the heroes are, was it just that the citizens were set up to react that way?’
Heroes are also absolute good.
It was just a shell without a soul, so he had no complaints.
In other words, the world I lived in was a kind of role play.
It was no different from playing with dolls.
‘…Something was strange.’
I laughed out loud when I realized that the world I lived in was more artificial than any other world.
‘Anyway, I’m no longer from that world, so don’t worry and let’s finish reading…’
I was reading that.
I was also able to find information related to me.
「I met another man similar to me in Korea. He was a man who was dissatisfied with the hero system even though he tried hard to hide it.”
「His name is Lee Young-woong. He wanted to have an in-depth conversation with him. But I couldn’t. Because all humans who noticed that this world was strange and showed even a slight hint of it died naturally.”
“As expected, that man also suffered from a rare disease called mana poisoning and became terminally ill.”
My mind wanders.
I was wondering why I suddenly got mana poisoning after I was fine, but it was all because of the writers.
‘…The parody writer is a real benefactor.’
From Noble mtl dot com
Once again.
I feel grateful to the parody writer.
If it hadn’t been for his help.
I must have lived as their puppet and ended my life miserably.
‘He helped me, so at least I’m not in the same category as them.’
Trying to cool down.
I read the novel silently until the ending.
The ending of this novel was written from the author’s point of view.
「Our protagonist, Ryosuke Kuroda, has suddenly disappeared. Losing the main character, the world fell into chaos, and people went crazy and started killing each other. So the world perished. (Complete)”
I closed the book.
I think a lot.
‘Only deal with the issue of liberation…. I need to prepare for the existence of writers as well.’
Although the author of this world is dead.
There must be countless beings similar to him.
You never know when a new artist will be assigned.
‘Before that, I need to quickly come up with an ending and meet the parody writer.’
In order not to become their puppet, parody writers desperately needed help.
And I had to grow even more.
To the extent that he is not pushed back even when facing high-ranking beings.
“Rice bowl. It’s kkaebi Get ready soon.”
After thinking.
Without delay, I packed my outerwear and put it on.
Today was the day to evolve the iron rice bowl.
***
For safe evolution, demonic spirits are needed.
Because of that.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan and the two crossed the northern front.
This place used to be a dangerous area full of 3-star monsters, but…
“Since everything has been taken care of, you can safely evolve it.”
5 Minutes.
No, in a shorter time than that, Instructor Tak Jae-hwan subdued them all.
This is why it’s convenient if you have a wide area skill.
When I summoned the guide, Instructor Tak Jae-hwan stood next to me and asked a question.
“There were two routes, right?”
“Yes.”
“I think they said female and male types…. What will you choose?”
“I’m still thinking about it. I think the male version would be fine.”
Thanks to Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, I have plenty of 3-star Magic Stones.
You can choose the female type, though.
I was worried because there was no explanation about the performance even though there were 100 different 3-star magic stones.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan clicked his tongue and said.
“Tsk. Lee Hyun-seong, what do you not know?”
“Yes? Don’t you know?”
“Your job is very much like a game system. Don’t you know what that means?”
As I stood there as if I didn’t understand, Instructor Tak Jae-hwan let out a deep sigh and continued.
“Originally, in any game, the performance of the female version is much better than that of the male version. Just looking at the need for 100 more magic stones won’t give you an answer.”
That was a plausible reasoning.
Most of the male characters in the gacha game were garbage.
“And wouldn’t it be nice to take a male type with you? Pick the feminine type unconditionally.”
···My faith suddenly disappeared.
What…
As long as 100 more are inserted, the performance will definitely be good.
It’s not like there’s a difference for no reason.
My heart began to lean toward a more feminine type.
“Ah. Before that, it would be better to summon Rice Bowl and ask for his opinion.”
Coming to think of it, I didn’t ask Bobtong’s opinion.
You may want a male type, so the moment you want to summon him and ask him.
Pot!
The iron rice bowl’s hand came out of the encyclopedia.
“… Huh?”
The iron rice bowl’s hand snatched my arm.
I pulled it as it was and forcibly clicked 「Android Female Type」.
That’s how evolution began.
