About a month since the blackout.

About three weeks have passed since the goblin was Doblin… but the world situation has not changed that drastically.

There wasn’t a war breaking out somewhere, and there wasn’t a sudden increase in crime.

Rather, crime has decreased.

There was a rumor going around that if you commit a crime, a certain goblin on the Korean Peninsula will show up and kill you, so the villains began to refrain from their actions.

Of course, the devil appeared everywhere.

Being a devil means that someone with this ability can become irritated just by sticking their little toe in the crack of the door.

To the extent that a person with this ability can become a devil depending on their mentality, devils have always been a threat to humanity.

-The devil is a virus. Something like a cold. The only treatment is ZenLos.

The goblin said.

Perhaps it was because he was bored before becoming a professor, or whether he wanted to prove that he was a suitable candidate for the position of president of the academy, he began giving ‘lectures’ through broadcasts.

-Currently, we are researching a method to remove the devil virus without genrosion. There is nothing that can be done about people who have already become genross, but if such abilities are developed, it may be possible to turn even people who have become demons back into supernatural abilities.

someone asked.

So what happens to people who have previously ZenLosed?

-Why are you accusing me of that?

The goblin refuted openly.

-Are you asking the person who developed the AIDS treatment, ‘Why didn’t you develop a treatment earlier?’

It was a lame answer, but I couldn’t really refute it.

Because it was true.

-One day, humanity will be able to reach it. Advances in technology will bring innovation and advance humanity into a wider world.

The goblin spoke.

-This is just my ‘imagination’.

With the words of his thoughts and imagination, he presented various possibilities to mankind.

Humans advanced to Mars.

A human being who has cured an incurable disease.

The human race is one in which even people without magical power can use this ability, even if they are just like expendable items.

Humans were born without magical power, but now have artificial organs that can use magical power.

Humanity overcame hair loss.

Humanity without war.

-From trivial things to the common aspirations of humanity. As long as it is not a crime, discussion is welcome.

The goblin spoke.

Thinking is the direction in which humanity will move forward.

-Thoughts bring about the development of humanity, and it is the role of those with special abilities to bring about the development of human life by materializing in this world what was once dismissed as fantasy.

Ultimately, this ability is the embodiment of human desires and imagination, and if possible, his goal is to use it in a way that is more helpful for the peace and future development of humanity.

-My special ability is ‘creation.’ Embodying something that does not exist in reality in this world. It is not an S-class nor EX-class ability. It’s an E-level ability that all people with this ability have.

The goblin revealed his abilities to everyone.

-Just as a pyromancer creates flames and a cryomancer creates ice, I can only create what I want with this ability.

He just creates what he needs in this world using the thinking routine of a goblin bat.

-But I’m still not good enough. There are many things that cannot be created with just one individual’s thoughts.

So the goblin talks.

-Therefore, we want to provide equal opportunities to all of humanity.

We decided to provide an opportunity for humans to freely unleash their imagination.

-Total prize money, 10 billion.

that.

-Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, etc. From now on, we will be holding a science fiction contest in each of the 10 languages in order of the number of speakers.

A method by which anyone can create human imagination and fantasy.

-Novels, comics, animations, movies. I’d like to say that it doesn’t matter anything… but let’s start with the ‘writing’ first. Rest assured. Our company is full of money.

Someone talks.

Are you planning on holding a science fiction contest?

-Yes. Stories about becoming the strongest in the universe are good, and stories about creating heaven and earth are also good. Whatever makes me happy So that I can let my imagination run wild.

The goblin raised an index finger.

-Total prize money of 1 billion for each language. A space opera and fantasy contest will be held where the winner will receive 500 million won.

Some say.

That’s crazy.

Who in the world would spend 10 billion won on a science fiction contest?

-SF is the source of abilities that can contribute the most to human development, but you’re not participating in it?

The goblin picked up a plastic cylinder.

Juwaaang.

-You never know. After seeing the SF contest, I thought that maybe I or my company could create something like a ‘magic lightsaber that even non-competent people can use’.

That too would be an object that embodies human fantasy.

-Why are you doing this?

The goblin said.

-I like this kind of thing.

* * *

“Goblin told me to do whatever I wanted, but someone burned 10 billion won on a science fiction contest.”

The head of the company, Cheon Ji-ah, sets out tea in front of me and scolds me.

“If you burn 10 billion on SF, how much are you going to burn on other fantasy?”

“Well. What should I do with what came out of the contest?”

As 1 billion is burned for each language, there will definitely be a way to make money among the numerous stories.

And the association has the technology to make it happen.

“Mr. When you were in elementary school, didn’t you do things like drawing science fiction?”

“I know what it is.”

“…There are so many worlds unfolding on that 8-section drawing paper. Most of them are terraformed space worlds, undersea bases, etc., but aren’t there some that could be of great help if brought into reality?”

I stretched my hand to the side.

Although I did not physically control the metal object attached to my arm, it very naturally took my hand and picked up the glass that Cheon Ji-ah held out to me.

“Even if it’s just this right now, yes. A young child’s wish to attach a mechanical prosthetic hand to someone who has lost an arm could create an automail through this combination of technology and abilities.”

“At least people with goblin-made automail won’t be able to call you a ‘villain’. Hehehe.”

“No problem.”

There is a company that is sensitive to copyright.

There is a company that says that if you are stuck on a deserted island, you can draw a picture of the company’s character on the shore and write ‘SALE’ instead of SOS, and the legal team will appear in a helicopter.

There are places where the company allows free use of copyright.

A prosthetic arm company that creates a hero’s arm or a design that reflects the character’s characteristics.

“To put it a little harshly, there are still too many people in the world who can be called ‘fucks.’”

“It’s a really harsh thing to say, but it’s true.”

“There are many more villains in reality than the countless stories that will appear in the contest.”

It’s not visible right now, but as time passes, villains will appear all over the world.

“That’s true even for this automail right now. It started out as just a matter of giving a machine to someone who had no arms, but later on, they would use it to strengthen themselves and even use it to hit people.”

“Nobel created dynamite to help miners in coal mines. But that dynamite…”

There is no need to say more.

There is no need to talk more about the development of technology and its two sides.

then.

“Company. We can suppress all those side effects in the future, right?”

All you need is an organization that controls it.

“Some people might say that it shouldn’t be controlled, but we still chose to control and suppress it.”

“If the reins of death and death are loosened for humanity, won’t it be a nuclear war? Hehehe.”

“Did you see it?”

“Well…?”

Cheon Ji-ah smiled meaningfully and shrugged her shoulders.

“It is censored in many ways now, but if it were a contest where creative freedom was allowed, all kinds of stories would come out, right? A world where humanity has been destroyed by nuclear war, or a world where a virus has spread and 50% of humanity is infected.”

“There was a lot of such material even before the cataclysm, so it seems that seniors who have been drawing and writing fairy tales for 25 years will pick up the pen again.”

In this world, the story will begin to diversify in earnest from now on.

“You will not be able to see people with special abilities. The masterminds of the organization and the ‘electric prisoners’ will read the story first and then filter it out. A place will be created where we can discuss and exchange ideas by recommending inspiring stories or making small talk.”

“And the various abilities that come out of it, you will teach them at the academy, right?”

“Yes. If there is this ability that I don’t know about, I will learn it too.”

A professor is a teacher, but at the same time, there is no end to learning.

“I’m going to research that first. President, what is your favorite genre of novel?”

“Oh my, suddenly?”

“Yes. There is one theme I want to research.”

For the eternal glory and development of this world and this country – the Republic of Guobbong, which will become the Great Huan Empire.

“Fantasy, martial arts, science fiction. Which do you prefer?”

“Hmm, it seems like there is some shady plot going on.”

“Nothing special. Because….”

This is, after all, borrowing an anecdote from our country’s greatest king.

“If you like fantasy, you can research black magic and make a lich, if you like martial arts, you can research jiangshi techniques and make a jiangshi, and if you like science fiction, you can put your soul into an android or robot.”

“Who?”

“First of all, the first emperor of the Great Huan Empire…?”

Of course, this is also just imagination.

“If the first emperor received the support of all people and the entire world wanted to remain in power permanently, wouldn’t he be able to conduct politics that would make him immortal?”

“In the meantime, after you retire, do you plan to watch movies and read novels with your wives at home after watching your kids?”

“Everyone doesn’t want to work after retirement.”

I held Cheon Ji-ah’s hand.

“Even if this body dies, I will remain with you as a spirit. President.”

“Oh my, this is such a heavy love…?”

“You made me like this, right? Stay in this world.”

“That’s it…Ah…?!”

At the same time, he grabbed Cheonjia’s horns and made eye contact.

“Even when I die, I will become a spirit and be with you, Commander.”

“Ugh, I never thought a man would be this obsessed…”

“We will be together even if we die, so please continue to treat us well.”

What is a story?

“Forever.”

Even after completion, it continues.
