Is life in the medieval fantasy world of Ropan really boring compared to modern times?

It was difficult to draw a conclusion easily.

Of course, considering the various types of entertainment available in modern civilization with advanced technology, modern people have been able to enjoy all kinds of entertainment every day without stopping.

However, we should not overlook that the medieval fantasy world is also dynamic in its own way.

For example, in Korea, if a wild boar came down to a private house, it would be a pretty big incident that would be reported on the news.

This was a world where people thought that if a wild boar came out, they would say thank you for giving them their daily bread.

How can you call a world boring where all kinds of monsters come down to human villages and attack them as snacks in bars?

Not only that, but considering that in modern times we can regularly witness guillotine executions that can only be seen in comic books and movies, there are areas that even modern civilization cannot catch up with.

To compare it to a game, medieval fantasy is not boring because it has a hardcore difficulty setting, but modern civilization is not boring because it is full of DLC content.

“Ah… no!!! This isn’t… Such a devil!!!”

In that sense, the recently published volume 3 of caused a similar response to the addition of new DLC to Another World.

“Nana!!!”

“Tucker, you bastard, you are a creature that should not exist in this world!”

“What did I say? The name Chimera Alchemist was sinister.”

Originally, when a new version of was released, it was common for people who purchased it first to gather together and watch it together.

The response to this third volume was on a completely different level.

Even before that, people were excited because there was so much unconventional and new fun.

In some ways, it was difficult to say that it was shocking because it was an expected development, but the development of this third volume went beyond shock and really gave me a tingling sensation, as if someone had thrown a lightning bolt at my head.

『’Ed… ‘Oppa Mund?’』

With just one scene and one line of dialogue, screams came out from the mouths of everyone watching the comic book.

Someone swears

someone said nothing

Or, it was the scene of a father’s expulsion of admiration.

Eventually, the atmosphere calmed down and I read it again, but once again, exclamations and astonishment flowed out.

A new character named ‘Skal’ has appeared.

A native of the West with a unique nickname, ‘The Alchemist of Decomposition’, his actions once again shocked people.

『’Alchemy is the ability to create something? So did they turn that little girl into a chimera? Is such a cruel act the alchemy you worship?’』

What he said, who was persecuted and filled with resentment, contained a philosophical content that I had never felt before.

Even though he was clearly a bad guy who killed Nana, who became a chimera, people began to become fascinated with Skaarl.

And finally, the Empire’s general, ‘King Brandon’.

His first appearance was only briefly in Volume 2 when the main character brothers were acquiring Imperial Alchemist licenses, so he was a character that didn’t leave much of an impression.

but

When the terrifying figure of swinging the twin swords at incredible speeds, causing the powerful Skaarl to attack and immediately run away, appeared, people fell in love with its unexpected charm once again.

And when I briefly took off the eye patch I was wearing on one side, the shape of the pupil that passed by.

“This! Isn’t that the pattern of the android group?”

“That’s right, Luxria of Lust from Volume 2 also had that pattern on her chest!”

“Could it be that the general was an android?”

Volume 3 was filled with scenes that lifted and dropped people’s hearts throughout the reading.

Originally, there had to be a resting part and a soft atmosphere.

I kept stepping on the accelerator without using the brake, and even just looking at a comic book made me break into a cold sweat.

And people realized.

The fact that I have to wait at least another month to see the next volume.

“Wouldn’t the author have the next volume?”

Someone suddenly said something, and the surroundings fell into silence.

Then, when we remembered that the author was a nobleman from a count family, everyone returned to reality.

No matter how curious I was about what was next, I couldn’t attack the nobleman.

No one would risk their life to enter a noble family’s mansion to read the contents of the next volume without going crazy.

***

“You can send me to jail! Please just tell me the following!!!”

The desperate voice of a man shouting his last words as he is dragged away by the guards.

Rupert watched the scene and sighed.

“They said they were catching people, but I didn’t know that someone actually trying to break in would show up.”

After the series became popular, it was fortunate that the territory’s guards were expanded and knights were hired just in case.

If it had been the original number, there was a high possibility that such an intruder would have been missed.

“Ugh! You’re still human! Save Nana! There is something wrong with that poor child.”

“You know, right? How to make goldstone? Please give me a clue!”

“Why can’t I use alchemy even though I drew it exactly like Yeon Seong-jin from the cartoon?”

It wasn’t just those who came to steal the following content.

Every day, there were countless people who came to complain about the content in the comic book, or people who thought it was real and came to me to tell me the secret.

‘Don’t Try This At Home.’

Now I understand why on Earth a warning message is displayed before professional wrestling begins.

There was no need to go to professional wrestling to realize that the story about an actor who played a villain in a morning drama getting slapped with kimchi while walking down the street was not a lie.

Even modern people, who know that everything is fiction, become immersed in the work and think about it.

I underestimated the impact that comic books would have on people in this world who didn’t even think it was fiction.

At best, I thought kids would imitate the lines and movements, but I never imagined that adults would take this seriously.

“If I release this, I might get killed?”

In fact, while I was making it, I thought I should keep it sealed, but I thought about it while looking at the figure that was requested to be made just out of fanaticism.

A detailed figure that reproduces the scene where Nana is hugging her dog Alexander’s neck with both arms.

Honestly, it’s so well made, should I sell this? I thought about it, but looking at the reaction now, there was a 99% chance that it would be four months.

Even my father who read these three volumes

‘Rupert, can Nana come back to life? No, I asked the obvious. You’re not the devil and there’s no way you’d come to such a cruel end, hahaha.’

I vividly remember my father talking to me with a look in his eyes as if he were a human being if I didn’t save him.

After reading the comic book, the employees who work at home also changed their attitude towards me without realizing it.

Even Sena, who became Ada’s playmate, after reading volume 3.

‘do… Master, the reason you gave Miss Ada a rashu as a gift… .’

‘It’s not like that!’

I was just watching Ada playing with Poppy with joy, but wasn’t she freaked out when she saw that?

‘Rupert, I believe you, you are the vicious person I used to know.’

After reading the comic book, Kroon praised me, saying that I was the most vicious and human-like person he had ever met.

If it weren’t for the money coming in from selling real comic books, he might have collapsed from a fire.

However, when I drank the vitality potion while looking at the pile of money handed to me by the merchant, I felt good again as if it had never happened before.

Moreover, now that Dwarf Kroon has joined, many areas of technology have been improved and there is more room, so resting conditions can be guaranteed to the artisans.

‘ruler. Everyone, please leave work on time today.’

Craftsmen were shocked when they left work on time.

They were looking at each other with eyes asking if it was really okay to go, so I thought it was a good mood, so I gave everyone a bonus and pushed them to have fun with their families and send them home from work.

‘Then I guess I’ll just go.’

‘No Mr. Kroon.’

‘why? Why only me!’

‘You have to work. Don’t worry, I’ll be with you too.’

Even if you forget everything else, you can’t forget the receipt. Since the shopaholic dwarf had no choice but to be treated for his workaholism, I held back tears and decided not to send him home from work.

Perhaps thanks to this, Kroon created excellent figure goods.

This can only be said to be truly amazing. The dwarf was able to delicately express parts that were limited by human skill, even with his blunt hands.

I was sobbing that I wanted to research golems, not dolls like this, but where do the research costs fall from the sky?

You have to be a good dwarf who can earn the research costs on his own.

‘Once this Iron Blood Alchemist is finished, can I send a research request to the real Magic Tower?’

It was an amount that was unthinkable in the past, but the speed at which comic book and goods sales were increasing was incredible, and considering that they would open a goods store and sell figures there, it was a reasonable amount.

Of course, it is still a fairly large investment.

There is only one reason why I am willing to pay a high price to the Magic Tower to conduct research.

‘animated movie’

Comic books are great, but the joy that animation brings is another level.

Back when I was on Earth, there was an animation that was an explosive success.

It was an animation called Fext, and people unanimously cited one reason why it was such a hit.

That was the fact that my favorite character was alive and moving.

In the original game, the characters, which existed only as illustrations, actually moved and spoke lines, making the game incredibly popular as fans fell in love with it.

That is the power and driving force of animation.

I wanted to show and share with people in this world the touching scene where scenes I had only imagined when reading a comic book actually unfolded before my eyes.

Of course, this is still a distant future.

I had a conversation with the merchant about this, and the cost of making animation-related items was more expensive than expected.

In fact, the comic book business alone would not have even started without the help and support from the royal family.

‘Now that I think about it, the imperial money was really sweet.’

I felt like a newbie being bullied by a max level hunter in a high level hunting ground.

If we could siphon off the imperial family’s money one more time, we would be able to proceed smoothly with our animation business.

But even though it was disappointing, I had to endure it. Last time, it was possible because the justification was so amazing.

If you just try to steal the subsidy, your head will be hung on the guillotine.
