episode_0032

By the time the two regular metronomes had died down, only two irreversible phenomena remained.

One is two broken spoons.

The other is Choi Da-eun’s head, which is greatly swollen.

Choi Da-eun was sobbing, touching her head, as if she was in a lot of pain.

of course.

“Sigh…sigh…it hurts…it’s dirty.”

“It’s my heart that’s been tainted, you bitch.”

I don’t feel any sympathy at all.

Instead, I should have received thanks from Choi Da-eun.

Because I saved this kid’s life instead of killing him.

I calmly explained my business to Choi Da-eun while waking her up.

“Anyway, stop publishing this crazy novel.”

“That’s impossible! They’re all sold out already!”

“…..What?”

He immediately grabbed Choi Da-eun by the collar and asked her what she was doing.

Although he showed strong anger, it was not enough to hide the trembling of his hands due to agitation.

I growled, trying to calm my mind.

” What …..

“This is the first time I’ve sold it remotely and it’s a huge hit! Would you like to see customer reviews?”

Choi Da-eun, as if she didn’t care about my feelings, smiled and manipulated her cell phone before handing it to me.

What you see on that screen is some kind of sales website.

What immediately comes into view are the comments on the book that Choi Da-eun sold earlier.

Of course, they were all written anonymously.

– PhewㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠWhat is the chemistry between long-lived and short-lived species? Phewㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– The transition from airborne to ground is so beautiful ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

– Jangsujong will only think of the short-lived species until the end. It’s so beautifulㅜㅜㅜㅜ

– Author! Please hurry up and release volume 2!

– Bring me more of this ㅠㅠㅠNo, bring them all!!ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Three pieces of objective information that come into my eyes.

One. The words ‘Sold Out’ written in large letters because there is a shortage of stock.

Two. A rating of 4.9 out of 5.

3. The number of comments is too many to be counted as a simple number.

I felt like I was going crazy.

“What, what is this? How many people bought this?”

“These little bastards are messing around with anyone they want!!!”

“Master, Young Lady. Please calm down.”

[It seems like a male heroine is added.]

‘If you keep talking like that, you’ll really get beat up, you piece of shit.’

Jeong Ah-yeon trying to calm us down.

But that wasn’t enough.

“Do you fucking think this can calm down?”

“Accept it! This is already an irreversible trend!”

“You fucking bitch!”

He grabbed Choi Da-eun by the collar again, and this time lifted her into the air.

However, even seeing Choi Da-eun struggling did not lift his spirits.

“대세는 개새끼야. 네가 뒤지는 게 이번 편의 대세야.”

“Shinwoo, where are all these kids? Just track their IQs, right? I’ll burn them all down.”

Before Hye-ji lost her mind and threw Choi Da-eun away, she hugged him so he wouldn’t run away.

If Hyeji moves, it really won’t end well.

It must have worked. Hyeji started to be quiet in my arms.

[It’s a BL BL Party!]

‘Those fucking bastards are going to get kicked out by the J-platform. They’re going to get kicked out.’

He forcibly lifted Choi Da-eun up, who was out of breath.

“Fuck. You said you were a writer? ”

“Oh my. Yes, that’s right. I’m writing a male-oriented fantasy novel.”

If you can recognize yourself as a writer, at least you won’t be embarrassed anywhere.

So, a question suddenly arises.

“But why didn’t you do what you usually do and use this kind of fuse?”

“That’s because the novel is oriented towards men, so it’s difficult to develop the novel.”

He scratches his head as if he is ashamed.

Then, as if he remembered something scary, he started to tremble.

“If there’s even one mistake, there are a lot of comments like, ‘I’m getting off. Writer, you should also get on and off Coupang.’”

“So, it’s hard to serialize a male-oriented novel?”

I thought of a good plan.

At the same time, a dirty smile appeared on my face.

First, whisper softly enough for only Hyeji to hear.

“Hyeji, go and shut Jeong Ayeon’s mouth.”

“Got it.”

“Young lady? What are you doing?”

Hyeji didn’t bother to verbally answer Jeong Ayeon’s question.

He simply responded by quickly covering Jeong Ah-yeon’s mouth from behind.

With this, we have eliminated any possible variables.

Now that the preparations are complete, I decided to tell Choi Da-eun about my secret weapon.

“Choi Da-eun. I’ve read a lot of novels myself. So even though I’m not good at writing, I know how to captivate readers.”

“Really? Please teach me!!”

Choi Da-eun, who had been in pain, started to cling to me without a trace.

It was such a shameless and disgusting sight.

I wanted to hit him hard.

But I endured it. Because I longed for a more splendid revenge.

With that, he opened his mouth to Choi Da-eun, suppressing the intense flames of anger burning in his heart.

First of all, to check if you have read other web novels.

“Before that, I have a question. Have you read many other web novels?”

“No. In fact, I’m busy just serializing my own work. I don’t have time to read anything else.”

thank god.

I’m so glad I haven’t seen any other webtoons.

Because it would have been dangerous if anyone had noticed.

So this time, it’s a confirmation of the serial publication.

I had to make sure that the environment was such that the blow would work properly.

“Where is it being serialized?”

“A place that only promotes the cute mascot. The server crashes whenever there’s a chance.”

“I know where it is.”

“Yes, especially if you shorten the mascot there-.”

“Please don’t abbreviate it at the customer service center.”

I quickly covered Choi Da-eun’s mouth.

[That was dangerous.]

‘This is just this once. Thank you, Nobel-chan.’

The novel’s survival was almost in danger.

Anyway, I took my hand off Choi Da-eun’s mouth and continued speaking.

Because now is the beginning of revenge.

“Can you briefly tell me what kind of novel it is?”

“It’s a fantasy growth story. It’s a harem.”

“How are your grades?”

“The number of views has decreased a lot recently.”

Choi Da-eun became depressed in an instant.

It seems like he doesn’t like the recent decrease in views.

I turned my gaze towards Hyeji, pretending to touch my chin.

What is visible is Hyeji properly marking Jeong A-yeon and covering her mouth.

It was perfect.

He turned his gaze back to Choi Da-eun and opened his mouth.

Be as calm as possible so as not to make a mistake.

“Think about it first. What do you think the problem is with your novel?”

“I think the number of views decreased as the number of heroines increased since it is a harem.”

“I get it. That’s probably because they didn’t manage the heroines properly while increasing them.”

Choi Da-eun thinks deeply about whether she really did that.

I quickly told him the following so that he wouldn’t have to use his head for nothing.

“Is it over if you simply capture the heroine and turn her into a trophy for a harem?”

“No, that’s not it. But I don’t know what to do.”

Choi Da-eun’s eyes began to sparkle.

I opened my mouth as I looked into those eyes.

“You can’t leave the heroine alone. You have to create tension for the reader to follow the novel.”

“How?”

“The virgin heroine who hasn’t had a relationship yet? She was kidnapped by the mastermind and left behind only a note.”

“Isn’t that too extreme?”

Choi Da-eun looked slightly scared.

I patted Choi Da-eun on the shoulder and spoke as affectionately as I could.

“Think about it. ‘Is the heroine defiled?’ The readers’ hearts will swell.”

“That’s right! The tension is definitely no joke!”

“That’s not it!!! Ugh!!! Sob sob!!!! Ugh sob!!!!!!!”

Hyeji immediately covered Jeong Ayeon’s mouth.

Still, it looks like it’s marking well.

“You have to keep the development from being too loose.”

“Yes! I understand! I’ll keep that in mind!!”

Choi Da-eun took out a notebook and started writing diligently.

When the hand movement stopped, I said the following.

“And the main character only grows? The tension felt from the initial desperation disappears.”

“Then what should I do?”

“A beggar who lost his power due to an ancient curse and is being raised again.”

“Oh! So you’re going back to your first feelings!”

“That’s right. Good point.”

“Stop it!!! Ugh, ugh!!! Let go of me!!! Keuheup!!!! Ugh!!!”

Despite Hyeji’s evil power, we can see that Jeong Ah-yeon’s rebellion is growing stronger.

There was a need to hurry up a bit before it was too late.

“And lastly, you said there was a male protagonist?”

“Yes!”

“Then, create a male companion who approaches the male protagonist.”

“Something seems strange about the picture?”

This time, Choi Da-eun looks really puzzled.

But if we end it here, we will have neither food nor death.

I tried my best to keep my expression as neutral as possible and continued speaking calmly.

“There are also male colleagues in the original version. There is also a novel where all the party members are men in the place you are serializing.”

“Ah, I was narrow-minded.”

Fortunately, it seems to pass easily.

It’s time to get back to the main point.

“Anyway, the male colleague has to be obsessed with and attached to every single one of the protagonist’s actions.”

“How?”

“For example, try adding a male colleague who says something like, “Dude, do you really want to see me go crazy??’ ”

“Yes! Got it!!! I’ll put it in right away!!!”

“Okay. That’s the end of my advice.”

“Stop!!!! Ugh, ugh!!!! Not that!!! Ugh!!!”

No more advice.

Choi Da-eun quickly packed her bags, said a quick greeting, and left.

Only then did Hyeji let go of Jeong Ah-yeon.

Jeong Ah-yeon was glaring at me with a vain expression.

” …… Confucius is a real dog.

“It’s a fitting revenge for the strange novel I wrote.”

“Shinwoo, what was that just now?”

“Three reasons for leaving web novels.”

Hyeji doesn’t seem to know, perhaps because she doesn’t read web novels.

On the other hand, in Jeong Ah-yeon’s case, I expected that she would have a hobby of reading like her older sister.

And as expected from the reaction I saw a little while ago, it seems like you have a hobby of reading.

“A long note of 5700 characters will be sent to you.”

“5700 characters would be lucky. I expect 57000 characters.”

Jeong A-yeon opened her eyes sharply and began to protest to me.

“Does Confucius know the human heart?”

“They say the king doesn’t know the human heart.”

“As expected, Shinwoo is the king of unicorns.”

“Fuck, this is a counterattack.”

This time, the voice in my head spoke to me.

[Isn’t that too much?]

‘But it’s not like the development is to bring back a male idol group that was disbanded.’

Cheer up, Choi Da-eun.

You fucking bitch.

***

This is the first practical training session after the midterm exams.

Unlike before, there are no more sparring sessions with students.

Instead, the opponent we’re fighting this time is none other than a monster.

That doesn’t mean it’s a real monster.

A fake implemented with a simulator.

Naturally, the overall specs are slightly lacking compared to the real thing.

While I was thinking that it would be worth a try, I saw a different side of Hyeji and spoke to her.

“Hyeji, why are you holding a hammer and shield this time?”

Unlike usual, he is armed with crude weapons rather than firearms.

It was quite unusual.

“Is Poppy a support?”

“I used too much firepower during the midterms, so I got a claim from the Monster Human Rights Association.”

Hyeji grumbles with a displeased expression.

He looked quite upset.

“What are those kids?”

“I don’t know, they’re just fucking bastards.”

Since I still had some time before class started, I quickly went to my phone and searched.

The obvious place to search is Kingmuwiki, a collection of knowledge.

As soon as I searched, numerous incidents, accidents, and quotes began to list down.

My evaluation of the voice after seeing it.

[…There are some kids who throw food at monsters, saying they are feeding them.]

‘Even if a person dies, there is a saying that ‘our monster might bite you.’

They were some pretty crazy kids.

I quickly read through the various descriptions to see what kind of group it was.

It has a surprisingly short history. It first appeared at a time when peace had been restored to a certain degree thanks to the activities of the Hunters.

This was a group that fit the saying that anyone who has enough to eat will do anything.

It was a ‘Monster Rights Association’ that was created as a spin-off from the existing Animal Protection Association, but it gradually grew in power and ended up swallowing up the Animal Protection Association.

I think the decisive factor was recruiting a large number of cat moms at the end.

Thanks to the active actions of cat moms, monster human rights violations have become mainstream, and cat moms have naturally risen to the positions of management.

In any case, their activities are mainly focused on issuing statements condemning the actions of hunters towards monsters.

Or, they may conduct a show of force against the hunters to prevent them from catching the monsters.

It is an intelligent and vicious act committed knowing that they are civilians.

Another characteristic is that the average lifespan of the members is very short due to their excessive love for monsters.

Most of them end up being eaten by monsters.

Yet, it was a strange group whose power continued to expand without diminishing.

[…There is no normal.]

‘All cat moms’ kittens are like that.’

“Anyway, until it quiets down, you’ll have to use only melee weapons for a while.”

“This is really crazy. Hyeji, you’ve worked hard.”

“You really are interfering too much. If someone saw you, they would think you were exploding every moment.”

But, contrary to what Hyeji said, for some reason, Hyeji’s hands were shaking.

It’s like what happens to a drug addict when they are banned from drugs.

“Miss Hyeji, I think you’re experiencing withdrawal symptoms.”

“…Hyeji, looking at you, it seems like those people are right.”

Now it’s time to start class.

As the designated personnel entered the training ground, monsters began to randomly appear on the opposite side.

My opponents are two slightly larger wolves.

Unlike the unicorn, this time there were no numbers above the wolf’s head.

It seems that regression is not possible since it was implemented using a simulator.

[Is it worth it?]

‘They’re not unicorns, they’re just assholes, they’re fucking shit.’

I took a confident step forward and charged at the monster.

And a minute later.

I was dragged around the training ground with both feet bitten.

As if there was a parade.

And then at the end, he threw me and did a pose where he lifted his legs above my head.

“Shinwoo, why are you being made fun of?”

“It’s dirty, fuck.”

“No, when you beat people, you’re just a human butcher, but why don’t you beat monsters? Is this racial discrimination?”

“Did Confucius also join the Monster Human Rights Association?”

Hyeji and Jeong Ayeon stabbed me in the heart.

I’m in so much pain that my face becomes gloomy without me realizing it.

But the more it was like that, the more Hye-ji and Jeong-ah-yeon’s faces became brighter.

“Shinwoo, that’s not how you hold it~.”

“Confucius, that’s not how you do it there.”

[That’s not how you do it.]

“Fuck.”

지랄 같은 개새끼들이었다.

It’s not even Dark Souls.
