How a Hero Lives as a Writer

122 – The Forgotten Age of Mythology (7)

The story of the 4 generations was a clean finish with no superfluities.

However, the process of putting it into a story was not very neat.

It’s because the story of the four generations didn’t match the way Seven’s Tale progressed.

Seven’s Tale is the story of an aspiring knight who possesses a book and experiences various experiences as a companion of a warrior.

From the first generation to the 3rd generation, it was always like that, and the position was closer to an observer than an important person.

However, it is difficult to stick to this method for the story of the four generations.

This is because, unlike the other warriors in the 4th generation, Kyle had only one comrade.

If it is the existing method, the main character must inevitably be possessed by Kyle Miller, the third-generation grandson.

However, this is another question that needs to be addressed.

It would be fine if Diana and Kyle were just colleagues and later broke up, but the two become lovers and later found a country called the Elvens.

So, is the person the 4 generations like, Kyle Miller, or is he the main character possessed by him?

What will the 4 generations think of Kyle Miller, who has changed after the main character left?

As these problems arose, we had to find a different method than before.

At first, opinions were narrowed down to creating original characters.

However, with original characters, a problem arose that it was difficult to portray the delicate emotional lines of Diana and Kyle.

Moreover, since the story of the hero was not fiction, the mainstream opinion was that it should contain a story as close to an affair as possible.

We continued the meeting again, and at least we chose the most acceptable method.

It was a way to possess one of the spirits contracted with Diana.

Of course, this was not without problems.

From the 1st to the 3rd generation, there was still a part where the main character was active, but this is because there was no part where the main character was active.

In any story, what people pay the most attention to is the main character.

So there was a good chance that something would come out.

Especially the atmosphere is 180 degrees different from the 1st to 3rd generations….

ㅡ Are you worried?

I am worried.

The story of the 4 generations was good.

To be honest, the story from the first generation to the third generation was too bleak, right?

That’s why it’s good to evoke a story with such a bright story, and put a period in the story.

But I don’t know how everyone will take this.

ㅡ Did you like elves?

Even if the elves are satisfied, they will definitely get hurt if their evaluation is low.

I don’t want to disappoint those who have been waiting for this story more than anyone else.

Just thinking about it makes me feel like my hands are getting heavier.

“Whoa.”

I took out the story of the Seventh Tale from the bookshelf and put it on the desk.

Sometimes when the development is blocked like this, there were cases where the story was drawn by looking at the previous contents.

Hmm, the invitation felt like this.

A desperate and gloomy atmosphere at the end of the century with no future in sight.

The biggest point was the scene where the colleagues meet their end one by one.

I focused on scenes that were tragic but showed nobility, so I grabbed the attention of the readers.

Are you still not crying? Poison poison poison

It was a story arranged with that feeling.

The story of the first generation was followed by the story of the second generation.

Unlike the invitation, the story of the two generations was seemingly stable.

However, the two generations knew in advance the crisis that would strike Mare through the Holy Sword.

You cannot save the world with your own strength.

With that kind of judgment, he created a force called the holy kingdom of Durgaia.

The story of the two generations was intense.

Unlike the background of the invitation, the cool development was drawn attractively.

However, a disaster appeared that would be too much for even the 2nd generation, and at that moment, the 3rd generation appeared miraculously.

I made this scene a bit more dramatic, so that the 3 generations are in the positions of saviors and helpers.

The 2nd generation still received the most attention, but the 3rd generation also received good reviews as it was an ally position that appeared in a moment of crisis.

The problem is that the end of this story is a little ambiguous.

How will readers react to it?

… Wouldn’t you think it’s a pity?

Unlike the first story, the story is not concluded, so there are bound to be many readers waiting for the later story.

So readers will find the shadows of Chapter 2 even though Chapter 3 has started, right?

Hmm….

First of all, let’s take a break between parts 2 and 3.

ㅡ Why?!

Everyone must have been exhausted from running so hard.

Since it’s summer, we should take a break.

ㅡ But….

It also has the effect of creating anticipation.

The stories of the 2nd and 3rd generations have not yet been completed, but we will move on to the third part.

Readers who see this will complain that the story isn’t even finished, so why move on to the next chapter?

But for now, you will have to wait patiently, saying that there will be something.

Hyujae coming here.

Readers will be eagerly awaiting the next volume.

However, in the newly started chapter 3, the shadows of the 2nd and 3rd generations are not visible as much.

Then the rage gauge will explode as much as you’ve been waiting for, right?

I read to the end like that, and voila!

Aiden Miller, the 3rd warrior who thought he would never come out again, appears.

Here’s a brief glimpse of what Aiden lived back in his original world.

ㅡ Wouldn’t it be difficult? Do you think the 3rd generation will attract more attention than the 4th generation?

It may be so if you describe it as a novel, but in a manga, you can briefly describe what the 3rd generations have been through on the 2nd page of the manga.

How about something like this?

Looking at the summoned 4th warrior Diana, the 3rd warrior Aiden describes stroking the data he has been studying.

Then page 2 is divided into several cuts to show flashback scenes.

It briefly shows the scene where he was worried even after he left Mare and had been researching for so long.

If you do this, readers who enjoyed reading Chapter 2 will feel a moving sensibility.

It’s a pity that the story of the two generations didn’t come out, but don’t you feel that you’ve been fully compensated for this?

Then you will naturally accept the story of the four generations.

The story of the four generations does not have to describe everything.

The overlapping parts are omitted in the middle, and the story focuses on big events.

To make me want to try this fantastic adventure too.

Won’t your interest in the main character gradually fade if you look at it with such concentration?

ㅡ I think that would be the case if we continued to show stimulating scenes.

Miss Helena nodded her head with a mysterious expression.

ㅡ However, if the winding is progressing, it will be clear… Ah, the last two stories?

Exactly!

The two greatest heroes appeared at an unexpected timing.

That emaciated figure is very different from the heyday!

The last words uttered by the second generation of warriors, exhaling rough breaths that seemed to stop breathing soon.

ㅡ Is Mare all right?

Yes, that’s right.

ㅡ Why don’t you reminisce a bit here too?

I plan to.

The 2nd generation was the third son of a kingdom that was crumbling in appearance, but he is the one who ascended the throne.

What he wanted in return for saving Mare was the salvation of his country.

However, the 2nd generation had no choice but to summon the 3rd generation to save Mare, and as a result returned to the original world empty-handed.

The kingdom was still in a hopeless situation, but the 2nd generation overcame the kingdom’s crisis with only their own strength.

In this way, he is called the first emperor and tyrant of the empire.

However, the end was so shabby.

He did his best to save his country, but was abandoned by that country.

Nevertheless, he did not blame the country, nor did he have any regrets about his lost power.

There was only one regret he had until the end.

It was Mare.

… He is an impressive figure to the very end.

And the 4 generations who saved such a person’s death will also receive a better evaluation.

ㅡ When I think about it like this, I think that the main character would be fine with air….

Isn’t it?

Hey~ I thought it would be difficult at first, but since I set up the plot in consideration of the eyes of the readers, it turns out somehow.

Now then, shall we wrap things up?

***

A week has passed since then.

After repeated meetings, we were able to finish the story in Chapter 3.

“Everyone had a hard time.”

This meeting was arguably more demanding and difficult than the two generations.

Still, judging from everyone’s satisfied expression, I think the story of the four generations will also get a good response.

“Thanks, Bright.”

“You worked hard.”

“No, you did all the hard work.”

Bertus shook his head and held out his hand to me.

“Thank you. You are our benefactor.”

“A grand benefactor.”

I shook hands with Bertus with a shy expression.

But Bertus looked up at me with a rather serious expression.

“No, this story would have been evaluated differently if it hadn’t been for you. I think it ended up being such a good story because of you.”

I feel like my shoulders are shrugging.

Great… Writer to this taste.

“I’ll take good care of you in the future.”

“Please take good care of me.”

After that, each member of the elves gave thanks and left.

Now, this concludes the story of the 4 generations.

Shall we put aside the stories of the 5th and 6th generation for a while and prepare a mystery?

ㅡ Weren’t you taking a break?

If it was a bright writer (SR) who used a pen, he would have taken a break, but a bright writer (SSR) who used a typewriter does not.

Now it’s really a detective story!
