020 – New groom Hyde is a novelist #3

A story from when I was still ‘really’ twenty-two.

“─I will rape you.”

As I recited the lines I had only been thinking about in my mind, I felt dizzy. As I fell back on the chair, my neck and back, which had been stretched out like a turtle, made a crunching sound.

To take a short break, I turned my chair around and looked around.

A room with a large wooden cross hanging on the wall came into view under the fluorescent lights.

The studio apartment near Daehakro, which rents for 350,000 won per month, was bound to be narrow no matter how wide we tried to see it.

Weeeeing-. The sound of an old, stuttering computer and the refrigerator, which was running noisily even though there was nothing in it, made a loud noise with momentum.

An unusually quiet room.

Squeeze-. While massaging my eyes with the large part of my palm, I again read the sentence written on the blue monitor screen out loud.

“I will rape every woman in the world.”

… Are there any other words in the world so terrible?

If it were me, I wouldn’t even want to deal with someone who says things like this. Of course, there was no way in this world that someone who would say something like this with sincerity actually existed.

This shameless sentence is, after all, a line from a character that appears in the novel.

“I will rape every woman in the world! Men are slaves! “I will sacrifice the old people and the children!”

The character who said this line was the main character of the novel I wrote, ‘Another World Demon Cult’, and was a terrible villain.

A villain so vicious that there is no room for sympathy.

But for me, he was the number 4 hitter who would make me a lot of money.

“… I need money.”

Overdue rent and overdue bills were piled up next to the keyboard. But the real problem was not that the cell phone stopped working or the water supply was clogged, but something else.

The private loan debt that the director had hastily acquired had a very strong interest rate, so it quickly grew like a snowball.

If things continued like this, the teacher and younger siblings at the facility might have to split up, so I had to raise approximately 40 million won within three months.

However, I was just a new student from an orphanage returning to school for my second year.

How did I earn such a large amount of money, 40 million won, in less than three months?

How?

How on earth… .

After struggling for a while, what I saw was an internet advertising banner.

It was sparkling with blue light, like a revelation from the Lord.

“Evilpia’s Infinite Hell Adult Web Novel Contest!”

“Opportunity to win up to 100 million won in prize money!”

1 million.

100,000,000.

It was money that I wondered if I would ever touch in my lifetime.

If I had this money, I would be able to pay off the orphanage debt, and it was clear that I would have plenty of money left over until I graduated from seminary and graduate school.

“You need a lot of money to become a pastor.”

Pastors were generally a poor profession.

But ironically, to become a pastor, you needed a lot of money.

Also, my dream was to become a pastor of a new church!

A believer who starts from one person in a land where there is nothing!

He also takes a pure and pious ‘virgin’ as his wife and they spend the rest of their lives together.

That was my strong wish.

“So I need this 100 million. You must aim for the grand prize with a minimum prize of 40 million won. must! must! I have no answer other than this path!”

I became desperate because this advertisement for the 100 million won prize seemed like a calling or revelation given to me.

Fortunately, I was confident when it came to writing.

For a theology student who would one day become a pastor and write sermons, knowledge of the humanities was basic.

Also, the facility had a lot of donated books, so I had an aptitude for reading and writing from a young age.

If there’s a problem… The theme of this contest was ‘adult novel’.

It’s an adult novel.

19+.

It had to be an explicit adult novel, not a sensual literature like ‘The Age of Loss’, which I used to read secretly from teachers.

So to speak, it is a dirty story.

“100 million… .”

A dirty story and 100 million won.

After struggling with many things, I accessed the site Evilpia, read a few adult novels, and started typing on the keyboard.

“Whatever, let’s do it! Lord, do not take this tribulation away from me, but give me the strength and wisdom to overcome it! Please give me writing skills… !”

# # #

In the end, as if my desperate prayers were effective, I won the grand prize.

“Target confirmed! I Betrayed Nanbit-‘s work ‘Another World Devil Cult’! 」

“A work that shines with vivid psychological descriptions and realistic stories. The intro that starts with “I will rape every woman in the world” is a masterpiece!”

「Writer’s impressions of the subject – I’m dumbfounded. That is all.”

When an amount of money I had never seen before came into my bank account, I was stunned by a thrill I had never felt before.

It felt like my chair was floating 5cm in the air.

I said I was confident in my writing skills, but how can I make 100 million won from my first pornographic story?

Did I really have a talent for writing?

The reactions from readers were very, very enthusiastic!

“It’s been a while since Evilpia released a 19+ masterpiece.”

“Aren’t the descriptions particularly vivid when killing or raping people?”

“Looking at the comments, there was a rumor that the writer had 4 criminal records… .」

“It’s definitely a story that couldn’t come out of the ideas of an ordinary person haha. The concept of the review is strange, so I guess he’s not an ordinary person.”

“The author is so suspicious that he deserves an award… 」

Several communities began to delve into the person I am.

It was a nonsense story about him being a criminal with a criminal record, wearing an electronic anklet, and actually having raped and killed someone.

I, Haido, have never even held hands with a woman, let alone raped and murdered her.

“Aren’t the women kidnapped in the writer’s basement like we saw in Episode 4? In the author’s review, you said you live in OO, right? lol”

“Isn’t OO-dong the only studio apartment near Daehak-ro in OO city? “Let’s find every place in the basement.”

The problem is that they started tracking my email address and actual address through my ID.

“A big problem happened.”

I was a little scared.

In the 21st century society, there may be people who wonder what’s wrong with being caught writing pornographic stories, but I’m not an ordinary person, I’m a theology student!

What if my identity is revealed to be ‘Haido’, a second-year student at a seminary?

It was clear that I would be kicked out of the seminary, and the director who had taken money from me to pay off my debt was sure to get so angry that he would throw away the money!

Even my brothers and sisters in the facility will treat me like trash!

“I have to withdraw.”

I thought I should withdraw from Evilpia, a suspicious web novel site.

However, the ‘Cancel withdrawal’ button was in a very difficult place to find, and while browsing the site, I ended up seeing the amount I would be paid out next month.

「Cumulative settlement amount: 44,446,667 won」

「Application for withdrawal」

A chill ran down my spine and cold sweat began to flow. My lips became dry, my breathing became heavy, and my body trembled.

If I had this money, it would be a great help in establishing ‘my own church’ after graduating from theological school.

If these profits continue to accumulate month after month until the story is completed… ?

“… Should I take another semester off?”

I tapped the keyboard with a skill I had become quite accustomed to.

Flashing. Qarring-!

At that time, lightning struck the room and I lost consciousness instantly.

I don’t know how on earth lightning struck the third floor indoors, but this is all I remember.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in Bluebeard and Nicola’s hospital room.

Yes, I remember everything.

Is this a dream now?

Breathe─.

As I gave strength to my body, my consciousness floated.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a room in an old-fashioned mansion.

A blanket was draped over my shoulders, and I could smell the scent of flowers.

“Did Psyche cover it up? I fell asleep without realizing it and had an old dream again.”

The reason I dreamed about the past was probably because I was writing with a pen.

Whenever I fell asleep while writing, I always dreamed of being struck by lightning.

This is the time when I was punished for writing pornographic stories out of greed for money!

“I won’t write dirty talk anymore. Because I want to write a masterpiece that deeply explores faith and truth, like The Pilgrim’s Progress. And even though it is just my opinion, that masterpiece has already been completed in my hands!”

Sze-.

A manuscript was placed in front of me as I dozed off on my desk.

The title is “Village of Back Alley Nymphs.”

I dare say that it was the greatest fairy tale of all time, fully filled with my theological essence and tailored to a child’s level.

I took it and went to my brother-in-law’s room.

It is late in the afternoon, with the sun setting through the hallway windows.

The maid running errands stopped me again.

“Stop. Didn’t you hear what Dr. Selim said? Master, you are not in good health. No visits are allowed today.”

Selim, doctor of theology.

His words seemed quite authoritative to the people of this mansion.

That was also the case in the 21st century.

When doctors appear on YouTube and say things like exercise and what not to eat, their opinions have always been accepted as high authority.

In order to save really important souls, priests should not commit “sins. Go to church. ” Saying this sounds old-fashioned!

“Then, please hand only this book to Prince Dihon. Prince Dihon said that he liked reading books and listening to stories, so he would definitely like it.”

Sze-.

I handed the bundle of paper to the maid.

The maid took the bundle of papers and looked at me warily.

Tap, tap.

I just walked out of the hallway.

When I returned to the room, Psyche was sitting on the bed.

She was happy to see me.

“Hyde, I’ve been waiting for you!”

“Psyche. You were waiting for me?”

“Did you finish your nap? From the looks of it, it looks like he wrote something. I know it’s rude, but I was curious about what it was about, so I read it a little bit. I wanted to talk about that article!”

Psyche read my writing?

I was a little nervous.

I still feel nervous when someone reads my writing and reacts to it.

“Well, I have written many times, but this is my first time writing a fairy tale. So I don’t know if this would have been fun or not. In the first place, it was written not for fun but to teach a lesson─.”

Soon Psyche’s eyes lit up.

“It was a very cool story! Especially that nymph? I was even moved by the fact that this being struggles alone to survive in an unfamiliar world but does not lose his innocence!”

Village of back alley nymphs.

It was a story about a fairy nymph who fell into an unfamiliar world and suffered alone but did not lose her innocence.

It was like that.

It is an autobiographical novel that tells the story of Hyde, who has fallen into this barbaric world, and yet does not lose his faith!

To be able to accurately see the theme of a story that may be difficult to understand.

It was clear that Psyche was born to be my wife.

Soon Psyche spoke.

“Hyde, I heard it from my mother. Are you trying to cure my younger brother Dihon’s illness?”

“Yes. That’s why I wrote this story. First of all, I thought I needed to get to know Prince Dihon. I have one question here.”

“Do you have any questions?”

“I heard that the reason you swore to remain chaste was because of the work of your younger brother, Prince Dihon. Is that true?”

Psyche kept her mouth shut.

Did he choose silence rather than lie?

Soon Psyche nodded and opened her lips in a calm voice.

“That’s right. Dihon had a bad heart since he was young. So, I made a promise to the Lord on my own, as if I was bullying him. I will keep my chastity, so please help Dihon get better.”

“Indeed, the whole reason I refused to get married until now was to keep that promise. There were many complex reasons. It’s a common occurrence. Making a pledge to the Lord for something in return.”

For example, some believers have often made the same pledge: “I will go to early morning prayers every day from now on, so please help my son do well on the CSAT.”

Actually, I didn’t like this behavior.

The belief in blessings and blessings is no different from uncivilized shamanism.

Psyche’s face darkened slightly at my story.

The two blue eyes were moist and it looked like they were about to burst into tears.

“If I don’t keep that promise… I have a feeling that Dihon will never get better. Hyde, I’m so sorry to you. This should have been said in advance before marriage.”

“It would have been nice.”

However, if you ask me if my choice would have been different if I had known in advance that Psyche was a purist, of course it would not have been true.

Still, I would have married Psyche.

Because I have had a crush on her for a long time and recognized her as my only partner.

Also, if you want to discipline Loras, Manaan, and Oscar Archibald, it’s best to rely on Agarpe’s power.

“Hyde.”

Kkooook.

Then Psyche held my hand.

First hand touch.

Psyche said when I was startled by a touch that was softer than I expected.

“Hyde, if you want to have children, you can take a second wife. I may be able to recognize the true person myself. If you raise your child and that person’s child like mine and your child… .”

“Second wife? Are you serious?”

Since only one wife is allowed in this kingdom, they told him to bring in a ‘concubine.’

Nobles and high-ranking priests often conspired.

But the count’s wife is urging her husband to take a second wife. Doesn’t Psyche have the arrogant pride typical of noble ladies?

“I am sincere.”

That means you feel sorry for me.

Psyche is willing to give up her pride for me.

Feeling Psyche’s ‘earnest sincerity’, I thought it would be rude not to react at all.

“Psyche, what kind of woman would catch my eye over you, who were called “the three flowers of the kingdom”? These are truly sad words. Psyche, my love for you is real.”

“… Hyde, you… !”

“If there is another person that catches my eye, it would be a member of the “Three Flowers” like you. great. Then, I will take a second wife, so please bridge the gap with one of the “Three Flowers”.”

“… yes? Yes?”

“Well, Abraham and Jacob, the fathers of faith, also took many wives, and I do the same. From a biblical perspective, there is no problem.”

I wanted to remain chaste with Psyche, but

Psyche was so desperately hoping for me to take a second wife, so there was nothing I could do.

Didn’t Sarah, the wife of ‘Abraham, the father of faith’, also have no children, so she recommended Hagar, her handmaid, to be Abraham’s second wife?

Therefore, this was a very biblically correct story.

“Psyche, please just let me meet Archbishop Archibald’s youngest daughter, who like you is called “The Three Flowers.” Then I’ll take care of the rest!”

“… Ha?”
