Otaku is the future.

You might say this is nonsense, but surprisingly, in this world, otaku are the driving force of this era.

In a world where imagination is power, it is difficult for those who look at reality from a rational and cool-headed perspective to survive.

-No, so what is the principle of mana?

Even if you look at and approach mana rationally, you cannot understand the principles of mana at all.

-If you don’t know what mana is, just feel it! Mana is just mana!

-A world where fantasy becomes reality! Why are you making it so complicated? You will find out as you use it.

-Don’t approach it with logic! Approach with emotion! Mana is new energy!

But otaku are different.

Pursuing emotion rather than reason and pursuing romance.

-Game-ga-me-ha-ha!!

-Hey, that happens.

And the moment it became possible to make that dream a ‘reality’, the world began to focus on the fantasy power of otaku.

-teacher! What kind of special ability should a being with this ability use?

-Uh, I’m just a cartoonist, and I just drew a cartoon with similar material…

-teacher! Then, please draw a comic with the main character having this ability! The skills of the main character in the cartoon you created will become this child’s skills!!

-what….

-We will give you 100 million won in advance tax per book!

-!!

This ability is national competitiveness.

Although it has been concentrated on subcultures such as comics, movies, and novels, developing abilities that cannot be imitated by other countries means increasing national competitiveness.

-No, you’re burning 100 million on some kind of cartoon?!

-But what if that one cartoon creates an S-class superpower in the future?

-Let’s look at the future 10 years from now? For that 5 year old kid?

-Children dream of becoming heroes by showing heroes in action through cartoons, and cartoonists use characters in their own cartoons as motifs and later become heroes. Isn’t this mutual aid?

-but. If we were to develop a fighter jet for 100 million won per volume, it would actually work out cheaply.

In the age of talent, Korea began to actively invest in subculture.

Considering the year 2000, it is difficult to keep up with other countries in terms of national defense and military power.

Rather than catch up and become the tail of a dragon, I would rather become a dragon that can blow away that dragon with my breath.

Nowadays, in order to become a very strong welcome dragon, Korea has put effort into nurturing people with special abilities.

Here’s the problem.

While Korea was working hard to develop talented people, did other countries remain silent?

-There are more otakus among us!

Japan also created content like Korea, or even faster and more reliably than Korea.

-Make a creation! Somehow, a creation that people with special abilities can learn and practice through fantasy!

-This is not a cartoon! This is a textbook that will become a standard for heroes in the future! It’s just a learning comic in the form of a picture!

What is the first media that infants and toddlers encounter?

It’s a picture.

It’s a video.

Even if you learn a language by continuously hearing it from a young age, you need to be at least 5 to 6 years old to learn letters before you can read them in earnest.

So, naturally, the materials provided to young children continued through the stages of picture books, story books, comic books, and novel books.

-I will make an announcement. Ah, the A-level talented person, ‘Precute’!

-Woman, I will work hard!

-…They just have similar costumes, but aren’t they actually body-enhanced superpowers?

-That’s why it’s an ‘invitation’!

-Oh oh…! As expected, you know something!!

And around 2015 and 2020, when the number of people with special abilities who acquired these abilities based on content appearing in existing comic books or animations began to increase one by one.

-Otakus are the future!!

Subculture was no longer a non-mainstream culture.

It has become a future industry leading the new era.

And of course, the more this industry grows, the more the government encourages it, and the otaku-related culture begins to grow in size.

Nowadays, it can be said that the ‘comic market’ is at the peak.

We go there.

To Japan.

That way…

* * *

At that time, Tsushima Island.

“Ha, why was I born in Japan?”

‘Kiura Yamamoto’, an ordinary young man born in Tsushima Island, sighed as he looked at the sea off Busan seen through a telescope in the distance.

“If I were born there, I would have been born with special abilities.”

In the distance, you can see Busan.

Is it a sin to be born just a few dozen kilometers away?

I don’t blame my parents for giving birth, but if I was going to give birth, I wonder how it would have been to get on a boat over there and go to Busan to give birth away.

-Oh, I didn’t know!!

If the people of Tsushima had known about it when the meteorite hit, they would have tried to have children by swimming to Busan instead of Tsushima.

-No, Tsushima is so close to Korea, so why is the rate of people born with special abilities the same as in Hokkaido?!

-That’s right, because it’s Japan.

-Chick show!!

If there is a mixture of ‘Korean’ temperament, whether it be blood or lineage, there is a high possibility that a person with special abilities will be born.

“Ha, damn it. If the God of Mana had considered Tsushima Island to be Korean territory, I could have been born as a person with special abilities.”

Kiura could only blame the God of Mana.

“It’s not like he came from outer space, looked at the world map in 2000 and decided, ‘Ah, this is Japan’…!!”

No matter how you think about it, it makes sense.

If a being knows history, if he knows the relationship between Korea and Japan, and if that god gives all blessings only for Korea.

-Tsushima Island is Korean land. Tsushima Island was conquered in the past, so this is not Japanese land, but Joseon land.

-But that Joseon was 100 years before our Japan-

-conflict!! How dare you try to touch the painful history of Joseon! Want to taste the Curse of Mana?! Should we make sure that no one with special abilities is born?!

“Damn.”

Everyone said that on the internet.

The God of Mana has made Korea his first home and is showering his love on Korea, and the whole world is receiving the blessings of Mana as a sidekick because they are on a planet called Korea.

It is said that Tsushima Island is not receiving the blessing of Mana in any significant way because the time when the God of Mana observed Tsushima Island was not in Korea.

I can’t help but think that way.

Even if you are Japanese, if you go over to Korea and give birth to a child rather than within Japanese territory, there is a high possibility that you will be born as a capable person.

If you do that, more and stronger people with special abilities can be born.

Although it is not Tsushima Island, I can immediately name one person who actually gave birth to a child in Korea, but whose nationality is Japanese.

“[Blue Comet]….”

Kiura tapped the Haeshaune Electronics Taegeuk Watch and accessed Hero Wiki.

A young man with blue hair.

He had a white mask on his face and a white uniform, like an officer from a future era.

The strongest hero that Japan boasts of.

He has one very big weakness, but because of him, he can boast that ‘Japan is next to Korea in terms of ability’.

“Other S-classes still cannot reach the feet of the blue comet…”

Because I’m strong.

Everyone is saying that if Korea has Gwangyukgong, Japan has a blue comet.

Of course, the actual result was the defeat of the Blue Comet, but that does not mean that the Blue Comet is weak.

It’s not that there is a weakness in some capacity, but if there is a weakness in birth…

“Tsk. If only I were born in Korea like a blue comet…! No, even if one of my parents was Korean…!”

most.

Koreans living in Japan.

Although their nationality is Japanese, they were born as Koreans whose parents or grandfathers came to Japan.

Although the probability is low, they also indirectly received the blessings that the meteorite bestowed on Korea.

In the chaos of the meteorite fall, the blue comet’s parents were a Korean father who took his Japanese mother to Korea and gave birth to a child.

“I wish I was born in Korea like that…huh?”

Shoot!

In the distance, I see something passing by towards the sea.

“Is that…?”

It looks like a submarine.

It is too short to be called a whale, and it is no different from a submarine in that it has something extending straight up.

The color is black-

“Ah, what is it? It wasn’t a big deal.”

A submersible with a design reminiscent of a carp, black with gold scales and whiskers.

“The hobbies of rich people are all like that, tsk tsk.”

Shoot!

The submersible went back down to the water.

“That’s gold, I don’t know.”

He thought he should report something or something, but Kiura could only sigh.

“Ahh, I want to marry a Korean woman and give birth to someone with special abilities!!”

No matter how much he shouts, there is only one thing he can do.

“Oh, damn it.”

All I do is curse and stare at the sea day after day.

If there is anything that can be done.

“Hey! Yamamoto! The selection of the ice crystal installation site has been completed! I’m going to clean up the area, so come and help!!”

“Yes!! Let’s go!!”

Just do your best in the role given to you.

“Hey, I guess that’s thanks to the blessing of being born in Korea.”

Kiura clicked his tongue as he saw ice crystals floating in the northwest sky, with fighter jets running around to escort him.

“Damn, I should have been born there.”

he is.

Born in Tsushima, I am pure Japanese.
