Chapter Index

    As for nicknames, you can just come up with whatever you want.

    If the issue is not very important, it is okay to use the name ‘Any Nickname’.

    However, hero nicknames are completely different.

    A nickname is like a hero’s life, and if that name ends up being a strange nickname, he will do his best to change it.

    No matter how kind and gifted a woman may be, if her nickname is ‘Cliff Rider’, she will sue the person who gave her nickname for personal attacks and defamation of facts.

    This is not a story limited to heroes.

    If a villain were to be called by his last name in a strange way, he would go to the person who gave him that name and immediately stab him in the back.

    And above all, if you give it a strange nickname for no reason, it is likely to turn you into a so-called ‘devil’.

    -teacher! Did this name come from the Hero Association? That would be a really cool name, right?

    -Well, that is.

    -Why are you taking a break? Is something wrong?

    -Keep calm and listen carefully. Your hero’s name is…’Bald Knight’.

    -……Ugh! It’s like the devil!!

    If you give it a strange name for no reason, it’s easy to turn someone with normal abilities into a devil.

    In order to protect the mentality of the person with this ability, if possible, the person’s personality, tendency, ability, etc. are taken into consideration.

    And above all, it takes into account your own choices.

    If you choose a nickname that you like, it is natural to become attached to that nickname, unless you are in a situation where you cannot use that name.

    In that sense.

    I decided to investigate in earnest why Laplace’s devil named himself ‘Hyangdan’.

    One hypothesis. Was there ever a being named Hyangdan before?

    “Jumo. What are the results of the investigation?”

    “0 cases. There is nothing.”

    Joo-Celestia, who was called to the Ulleungdo pension, quickly researched and organized the information I requested.

    “There was no one with special abilities who used the nickname Hyangdan. I searched not only in Korea but all over the Chinese character culture, but there was no one.”

    “What if the Chinese characters were different or the pronunciation was changed to Korean and it was Hyangdan?”

    “Not at all. I searched both Japan and China. Just in case, I even looked into the communities of people from North Korea. A person with superpowers called Hyangdan did not exist.”

    Jumo’s research results, and the results I checked separately by searching the wiki and community.

    “Not at all. A person with this ability is.”

    There was no one with this ability before who had the nickname Hyangdan.

    It was not a dead person, nor was it a different entity.

    It was something that didn’t exist at all.

    “The first hypothesis is wrong. Then the second. Who uses the ‘name’ Hyangdan? Either your real name or a pseudonym.”

    “In fact, it is difficult to find cases where the name is a pseudonym, but there are some cases where the real name is Hyangdan. But they were all ordinary people. It’s not a superpower, it’s not a pandemonium.”

    Second hypothesis. If Hyangdan is not an alias but the name itself.

    It may be a little strange that the demon of Pandemonium used its real name, but if you think about the case of Duo-Oksini, it would be wrong to demand common sense from them.

    You should not approach it with common sense.

    We need to approach it in a way that suits the sensibilities of aliens marinated in soup.

    “Is there really no one?”

    “Yes. None.”

    “Then the next hypothesis.”

    third.

    “…If it is related to Seong Chun-hyang.”

    Now, we need to explore in earnest the ‘motif’ from which the name Hyangdan originated.

    Where did the name Hyangdan come from?

    Of course, it is ‘Chunhyangjeon’.

    As one of our traditional pansori, the name of the maid who serves Seong Chun-hyang in the romance story of Seong Chun-hyang and Lee Mong-ryong is Hyangdan.

    “Pansori practitioners, people studying traditions related to Chunhyangjeon, and Namwon-si, Jeollabuk-do, which is the setting of Chunhyangjeon. Who is likely to use the name Hyangdan there…?”

    “Executive Director.”

    According to statistics, the world’s population in Namwon, Jeollabuk-do is about 100,000.

    In many ways, time was running out to find anyone among those 100,000 people who was rarely seen or whose behavior was suspicious, but even though the masterminds under the palace investigated all of them, no data came in.

    It is not a matter of time, but because there is no such thing.

    “Then…I have no choice but to think about the last case.”

    All three hypotheses were wrong.

    “The other one is….”

    “I searched among fans of Chunhyangjeon and found nothing special.”

    “Write.”

    The fourth hypothesis also collapsed.

    It would be surprising if someone who loved Chunhyangjeon itself used the name of someone who appears in the story as a nickname, but there were almost no people who showed such a thing.

    “I guess Hyangdan is not of the same type as Duoksini. Duooksini was a member of the public who was making aggro through a back account.”

    “It would have been easier to catch him if he were of the same type. Tsk.”

    In that case, all that remains is to use the last resort.

    “I didn’t want to use this method.”

    It is difficult to find the fish you want in the vast ocean, but you have no choice but to throw your bait around the sea and wait for the fish to catch you.

    “Please call me a moment.”

    In the end, I had to resort to last resort.

    I knew it was a risk, but I had to do it anyway.

    “Hello?”

    […Uh, ah, hello…?]

    A voice that makes an ant crawl.

    [Uh, um, what’s going on…? By any chance, our kids did something wrong or something like that…?]

    He is quite introverted, is afraid of talking on the phone, and has a gloomy voice that is reluctant to talk to people.

    “Not at all. I’m calling to ask you a favor.”

    [Boo, please?! The manager…? To me?]

    “Yes. Director, I think you and the team members need to produce some ‘content’ as soon as possible.”

    [What kind of content is this…?]

    “It’s just a piece of content to lure out Laplace’s demon, Hyangdan.”

    […Are you saying it’s propaganda?]

    The voice changes.

    [How are you going to attract the devil’s aggro? Just tell me the method, and I will produce it and send it to you as soon as possible.]

    “You can improvise. First of all, the fastest thing is text, so let’s start with that and then continue with the secondary creation, whether it’s a picture or a cartoon.”

    [Chief Do has everything planned out, right? say it.]

    The moment work-related topics are mentioned, this woman changes as a person.

    “Do you know Chunhyangjeon?”

    […I’ll do some research. Korean traditional fairy tale?]

    “Yes. It is one of pansori. We are adapting the story in a new way so that Laplace’s demon attracts aggro.”

    If the name Hyangdan came from Chunhyangjeon, there would be some reaction to the work reinterpreting Chunhyangjeon in a modern way.

    I just hope that Hyangdan will get some kind of response, whether it’s getting a good response or writing 5,700 characters like Duooksini and then coming directly to the creator.

    If it fails, new content has simply been created in this world.

    It’s full of somewhat dangerous and strict content, and content that may cause some viewers to vomit blood and vomit blood.

    [good. Please tell the story briefly.]

    “First, let me start with the title, Director Chaos.”

    One of the four major executives of the organization.

    A woman who is directly appointed by the head of the organization and is in charge of the field called ‘culture’.

    chaos.

    “The title is ‘Bangjajeon’.”

    I asked her to make a rice cake to bring out Laplace’s demon, Hyangdan.

    * * *

    In the dark.

    A woman with red hair was lying on the bed, looking for something while thumbing her smartphone.

    “Are there any interesting new works?”

    The woman had a candy in her mouth and was rolling around on the bed wearing only a white tank top and dolphin pants.

    Her hair was braided to resemble an apple, and a bag of snacks was placed next to her bed.

    “Haaam. Where is this interesting new work… Oh.”

    The woman looked at the new work with sparkling eyes.

    “Oh my god, is this person making a new work…? I can’t stand this.”

    The woman studied the contents of the new work with a reverent posture.

    “Ha, as expected. Romance is the best.”

    The woman licked her lips and pressed the button.

    “…Tsk. Is this a picture drawn with this ability? There is no soul in the picture, there is no soul.”

    Although the cover art was technically well-drawn, there was an uncanny valley that was very subtly jarring.

    It is unclear whether or not the painting was drawn using this ability as the woman said, but the woman shook her head at the cover she did not like at all.

    “The cover is…huh?”

    Excited.

    My heart suddenly started pounding.

    On the cover of a new book that had just been uploaded, a young man in a white suit was showing off his chest and abs with his clothes open to the left and right.

    “Wow, oh wow. What is this…?”

    I was distracted by looking at the chest, but when I came to my senses and looked down, there was a scrawled typo on it.

    Bangjajeon – Namwon Fire Pillar Virtuous Woman Bomber –

    “…What is this stupid title? Now, wait a minute. This…!”

    Only then did the woman notice.

    At the top right of the cover, there is a flashing red ’19’ mark.

    “Hey, it’s a dirty novel!!”

    The woman took on a pious posture again.

    He wiped off the cookie crumbs on his hands with a wet tissue, grabbed his smartphone with one hand, and placed the other hand on his stomach to show respect.

    “Bangja-myeon is Lee Mong-ryong’s servant… What did this author write about Chunhyang-jeon? who? …Chestnut flower latte?”

    Kuuk.

    I clicked on the prologue.

    “Ah, crazy.”

    And the woman let out a double curse.

    “Chunhyang has her first experience with Bangjarang, she doesn’t even hold hands with Lee Mongryong, she doesn’t reject and actually enjoys the request of Byeonsato who came after Lee Mongryong went up to Hanyang, and Hyangdan seduces Lee Mongryong, who was NTRed, with her body…? ”

    Jump up.

    “Is the writer crazy!!”

    The woman, ‘Hyangdan’, turned red in the face.

    “Where are you adding NTR’s affair to pure love!!”

    Even if it’s a creative work.

    Even a novel.

    There are things that can never be tolerated.
