How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World

Reincarnated in a fantasy world. All of the novels worth reading here appear to be SAT English problems. So I began writing my own fantasy novels as a hobby to augment my previous job. However, the novel I wrote had an odd ripple effect. That’s fantastic as well. Note: This translation is an edited MTL with some edits for better understanding and manual rectification of some (not all) errors. If there are still some errors, I apologize for that.

Chapter 71

The first draft of Xenon's biography was stolen. This news alone was enough to turn the world upside down.

If it's a manuscript or first edition written by a publisher, I'd say I'm going to draw it, but it's a draft. A manuscript paper written by Isaac himself and sent to the publisher.

In addition to leaving a big mark in the cultural world, it is also a very important cultural relic, but having it stolen is a very serious matter.

[Shock! Theft of Book 1 of Xenon's biography! Whose is it?]

[Don't open the safe, but tear the safe entrance itself… It's absolutely not the work of an ordinary organization.]

[The president is currently unconscious from shock. I will be held responsible for neglecting the draft, but there is ample room for consideration.]

[Who would have thought of robbing a safe? And for what purpose?]

The news spread all over the place within just three days. The incident was so shocking that even newspapers called it a special report and printed the newspaper like a factory.

As a result, people once again gathered to ask the publisher for an explanation, but it was soon disbanded.

Because the high-ranking people who sensed the seriousness, even the investigative team dispatched from the Imperial Palace, started to investigate the safe. People were skeptical about sparks, but they went back to their respective jobs.

But in their hearts they shared a common concern. It was Isaac's anger that he was worried that he might take a leave of absence indefinitely.

For now, I had no choice but to do better research from above.

[The energy of black mana is not felt. Therefore, it must not have been the actions of the demons.]

[Some parts are cut with mana for easy removal, and then there are traces of forcibly ripped off. Seeing this, the culprit must be a strong man who handles mana skillfully. It is estimated that the work took less than 30 minutes.]

[As a result of investigation, it is judged that he is not human. There are very few humans who can cut a safe that has been treated with magic with mana. Therefore, it is highly probable that he is a Beast or Elf with excellent physical abilities by birth.]

[Not even a Dwarf. They would have figured out the password for the safe without ripping the whole safe in this way.]

As a result of the investigation, the culprits were gradually narrowed down to beasts and elves.

The work time was too short and efficient for a human-made task, and the Dwarf robbed the safe with superior dexterity, but did not remove the door like this.

There was information that demons did not use the unique black mana, so they were excluded from the list of suspects.

Therefore, all that was left were beasts and elves. They possessed unmatched physical abilities. Moreover, the elves had no race to follow with magic, so the weight was even greater.

But there was one big problem here.

For what purpose did the criminal take the first draft of Xenon's biography? What are the benefits of taking the first draft?

No progress was made because the experts were blocked in this area. For now, we have no choice but to find the whereabouts of Chogo.

It is highly likely that it will be sold on the black market or sold through an auction through a dark route, as it is an extremely valuable piece that is worth even being designated as a national treasure. The Imperial Palace was aware of this, too, so he began to investigate it thoroughly.

[The biggest concern is Zeno's heart. If the draft had disappeared, it would definitely be inconvenient to plant.]

[What if I declare a necessity rather than a break? It is clear that everyone will be angry once again because they cannot be sad.]

The biggest concern here is Isaac. It was nothing else, and people became anxious because the first draft he had written by himself had disappeared.

For this reason, the investigation was further accelerated, but unfortunately, it was difficult to get a clue as it left little evidence.

[Albnheim's strong backlash. We don't do such vulgar things.]

[Animus reacts as well… Why would we read novels with human protagonists? It's absurd.]

Not only this, but the country of the elves, the country of Albenheim and the beasts, and the Animus protested. Not at the individual level, but at the national level.

As both countries refuted for plausible reasons, the case became even more absurd. Naturally, readers of Zeno's biography became anxious every moment.

At this point, I wondered what would happen if Isaac really declared his absolute necessity. People waited impatiently for Isaac to take an official position.

And when the storm subsides, yet another storm strikes and the world is in turmoil once again, what about Isaac, one of the biggest victims today?

Are you angry or sad about the current situation, or are you just passing it on?

His letter arrived at the publisher about a week after the incident.

As always, it was a long letter, but to summarize it roughly:

[Please, just find it. It is my treasure.]

Another big bomb fell.

******

The news that the first draft was stolen one day after I entrusted it to the publisher came as a great shock to me. Even so, I was expecting an uproar, but I never dreamed that it would be stolen in one day.

Even looking at the newspaper, the way he robbed the safe was ignorant. He said that he didn't know the password to the safe and ripped the door open at all. There was no choice but to outrage rather than anger.

I don't know for what purpose the draft was taken, but this one thing is certain.

"…it's annoying."

That anger is on the verge of reaching the top of your head. As I am usually criticized for being blunt, I tend not to express my emotions well.

But when I say my feelings out like chewing gum, that means that I am angry. To be honest, if other people, not just me, were in a similar situation to me, anyone would be angry.

Xenon's biography is not like a web novel stored on a computer, but a novel written by myself. Naturally, love is inevitable.

Also, anyone would be upset if someone trusted and entrusted a valuable item to someone else and said it was stolen. Still, it is difficult to hold the publisher accountable, and they would not have even imagined that they would remove the door of the safe.

So that makes me even more angry. I thought some madman stole my drafts until he took the door of the safe.

The value of the first draft is ridiculously high, so are you thinking of selling it somewhere? The likelihood of that happening is remarkably low.

Judging from the investigation alone, the perpetrators who stole the draft are not at the level of a single thief. Perhaps it was a work made by a power that even high-ranking people could not touch.

'Why the hell?'

For what purpose did the perpetrator take the draft? If caught, it would not only issue a statement of condemnation at the national level, but also have serious aftereffects in many ways.

I sighed deeply at the increasingly unknown purpose of the culprit. It was the first manuscript I wrote after reincarnation, and I felt depressed when it disappeared in vain.

"I… Isaac? Are you okay?"

"… …"

As I sighed in confusion, Marie, sitting next to me, asked in a worried voice. As soon as I heard her voice, I turned my head.

As I turned my head, I saw Marie's worried face with sincere eyes.

"…number of animals."

"Yes. Isaac."

"Come here for a second."

Although it was a lecture hall, there were not many people yet. Moreover, there is no one who does not know the relationship between me and Marie.

When I called in a low-pitched voice, Marie had a puzzled expression on her face for a moment, but she obeyed my words. Then, as I stretched out her arms, Marie spread her arms out with a smirk, as if noticing her intentions.

prison-

Hugs are said to be the surest and simplest way to relieve depression. As soon as she hugged her, she felt that all her grunts were washed away.

Again, hugging Marie is healing. As soon as I hugged her, I rubbed her face like her child.

It would have been nice to stay like this, but there were a lot of people around me, so I had no choice but to leave the regret behind and retreat.

"Are you okay now?"

After hugging, Marie asked with a look of disapproval. Her pure white cheeks were slightly red, probably because she was a little embarrassed by the act of love that was not even in the reservation.

I smiled softly at this and nodded my head. To be honest, I wanted to kiss her, but I managed to suppress it because it was a classroom.

"You don't have to worry too much. I'm going to be able to find out the culprit soon, because I'm directly investigating the palace.

"You just need to stay by my side."

"Wow… Hug me quickly."

Perhaps even touched, Marie asked her to hug her with her arms wide open. I gladly accepted her request and hugged her once more.

So the two of us shared our warm hearts for the second time only in the classroom. He felt a commotion around him, but he didn't care.

It was a bit embarrassing though. Still, she felt good.

"Now, are you openly advertising that you are a lover?"

Eventually, around the time they were separated from each other, a familiar voice pierced her ears from behind. When she shifted her gaze, Cecily clenched her chin and looked at us with bewitching eyes.

At first glance, it looked like they were having a good time, but from the point of view of me exchanging letters with her, it was a gaze that felt strange.

"Aren't you envy? Envy? Even if you're envious, you'll never give up my son."

Marie pulled me tight, hugged me tightly and teased Cecily. Perhaps she thought Cecily had asked such a question out of her envy.

Cecily shrugged and stepped back without saying a word. Even as I retreated, the red eyes were still fixed on me.

'By the way, I can't see Lina.'

Gradually, the lecture time was running out, but Lina's appearance was nowhere to be seen. She may have had a break of her own, probably because of her super high theft case.

It's been a while since the protests have subsided, but since such a big incident happened, she must be busy in many ways. Even if she tries to focus on her studies, she won't be able to.

'You'll do well.'

no. you should be good

If you do not want to prove your incompetence even in the Imperial Palace, you must find the culprit. In addition, from Lina's point of view, she would have to work tirelessly to improve the relationship with me, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, even a little.

All I can do right now is ask Lina about the situation every few days. Even my father can't solve this case, so we'll have to wait patiently.

'But what kind of madman really took the draft?'

If I was looking for it, I wanted to see the criminal's face at least once.

In exchange for tampering with other people's things, hit them with a blow.

"Did you hear that? The news that the first draft of Xenon's biography was stolen."

"What? What do you mean? Wasn't the draft released yesterday?"

"Yeah. But it was stolen in one day? I don't know what kind of guy it was, but they said they ripped off the door to the safe."

"Huh. He's crazy. It won't be a riot."

"I heard that the Imperial Palace sent an investigation team directly. The situation is getting worse."

The pub is always lively in the evening. Many people talk about the incident that happened today, or otherwise, it is often the case that they drink alcohol and become unconscious.

And in this lively atmosphere, there was a man sitting quietly alone. It was difficult to recognize her face with the robe turned over, but her slim body and slightly exposed face were very fine lines.

As a result, she was able to predict that she was a woman, and her skin was also uniquely copper-colored. Sitting alone at her table, unlike the others, she quickly glanced around her, drenching her throat with her beer.

'Fortunately, there are no pursuers.'

Did you commit any crime? She patted her right chest, reassuring herself inside.

The 'valuables' that I had obtained through a bit of overwork today are still asleep. It may have been made by the Dwarf himself, but it was difficult to work with because of the magic treatment and the hard material, but it did not mean much to him.

Although it was difficult to work with mana at the end, I ignorantly tore the door open. Still, the results are good, isn't it?

'Will the queen like it?'

She habitually fidgeted with her long ears to see the smile of the queen she served.

Unusually, unlike an ordinary elf, her ears were cut in half.
