How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World - Chapter 761



761 – That Damn Mouth (4)

Like the Earth, a year similar to the Common Era appeared in the world, and all countries began to use it in unification.

Of course, saying ‘Zenon bitch’ had a bit of an insult-like connotation, so I slightly modified it. From the Zenon year to the Zenon calendar.

I’ll call it a few years later, excluding Zeno, but it’s still a long way off. I feel like changing it to Luminous.

However, the generation ruled by Luminous was ‘BC’, and the period after that was treated as ‘AD’, so it was meaningless.

So much so that there is discussion about what years before the Zeno calendar should be designated.

Anyway, the year law spread because of Isaac’s one slip of the tongue. And there are some things that have not changed even if the annual law has changed.

“Hey, Gartz. Are you going to see the referee today too?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Who can I bet my money on?”

“I don’t know that either.”

Gartz answered his senior’s question in his characteristic, stiff voice. Going to see the referee is, of course, Myshal territory.

Originally, Isaac was the one to judge, but due to his status, he left it to someone else.

Gartz is one of those figures, and he is also in charge of training other referees.

In fact, he can be said to be the next soccer referee after Isaac. Because of this, his reputation is increasing in another sense.

Of course, apart from the increased reputation, the pitfall is that I have not yet received a signed copy.

“Don’t be like that. I made a bet with someone else. It’s a match between the indigenous team and the immigrant team today?”

“Are you buying it by any chance?”

“That’s absolutely not the case. Are we crazy enough to buy it?”

The Reaper member was started by Gartz’s suspicious question.

If he were to be bribed, not only his life but also Gartz’s life would be over.

This is because the first judge in history was Isaac, so it would tarnish his reputation. Therefore, there is a perception that it is fair.

I don’t know how long this trend will continue, but since sports and religion are deeply connected, there is a lot of caution.

Even so, there are many cases where the referee is cursed once the match starts. There is a joke that says demons will have to face judgment.

They say that if you watch the referee, you will get a good rap from any team and it will be good for your mental training.

“What I’m talking about is the current situation. Zenon-sama appointed you as a referee, right? Because of that, you visit the Holy Land often.”

“Apart from that, I don’t know which team has the advantage.”

“Eh… Okay. Just let me know the results later.”

In response to Gartz’s answer, the Reaper member left with regret.

As soon as he left, Gartz moved to Myshal territory by teleportation.

The distance between Helium and Myshal territory was quite far, so I had no choice but to teleport several times.

To move at once, you must have incredible magical power like Cecily.

“Come on! Come on! It’s not every day! 10% discount today…!”

“We are selling flags representing the team here!”

“It’s a great snack to eat while watching…!”

When I arrived at Myshal territory, I could already feel the bustle. There was a subtle mixture of bustle and vitality, creating a sense of vitality.

People of all ages, races, and social status came to watch the game. Soccer remained a specialty of the Myshal estate.

To be precise, it should be considered a suzerain country. As time passed, soccer was able to develop into a sport enjoyed around the world.

Not only is it encouraged rather than suppressed in the religious world, but it is also one of the methods of evangelism in Zenonism.

Instead of going to a big city, go to a remote area like the countryside, spread the word, and then throw a soccer ball.

You could call this some kind of evangelism, but it was a very effective method.

In the past, devil worshipers also used this method to brainwash several villages as a group.

‘There has been tremendous progress in that short period of time.’

Gartz looked around the Myshal estate, which had grown to a level similar to that of a large city. As it is a cultural city, its appearance is truly beautiful.

It was clearly a rural area with only a few houses until a few years ago, but has now transformed into a starting point for culture.

If the capital of the Republic of Ters was quiet and emotional, the Myshal estate was lively and full of life.

Until recently, they were in a position of keeping each other in check, but their expression methods were so sharply different that they didn’t even compete.

‘I have a strong feeling that the world is becoming more and more united.’

In the past, there was a strong tendency to play separately with humans, demons, dwarves, elves, and beasts.

But the Myshal estate could not find anything like that. The same applies even to other countries.

Helium accepted dark elf immigrants through open borders, and various races also visited.

Helium had been semi-forcibly closing its borders until now, but it recently opened its borders and the number of visitors has increased significantly.

Of course, I couldn’t say for sure that there is no racial discrimination here. Originally, mankind was busy putting down any slight ‘difference’.

This was human nature, so there was nothing we could do about it. It just somehow covers the evil with good.

‘It really wouldn’t be possible unless it were God.’

In fact, he is a person who will ascend to the status of a god if he ascends. And he is the judge appointed directly by God.

A member of the noble Reapers and a fair judge at the same time. A position that seems to match something, but doesn’t seem strange.

Gartz walked down the crowded but well-ordered street and headed toward the Myshal mansion.

I understand that Myshal Mansion was recently renovated due to the increased number of people.

A mansion built by the world’s best craftsmen, especially dwarves and demons, working together.

At first, there was talk of building a castle, but Isaac quickly dissuaded them and they agreed on a mansion.

“This is Gartz. I have come to see Zenon.”

“I heard the news. Let’s go in.”

Eventually, Gartz arrived at the Myschal Mansion, or rather, what should now be called a mansion.

There is some time left before the match begins. Until then, I planned to chat with Isaac and meet Cecily.

And…

“Bell! Stand there! You’ll get hurt if you run around!”

Hee hee!”

A child with chestnut-colored hair running through a wide hallway and Isaac chasing after him.

“Ashley! Ashley! You can’t go up there!”

“Catch me~”

A child with blond hair running down the stairs and Isaac chasing after him.

“Iik! Let go of this, sister! I still want to play more!”

“No. Dad is having a hard time.”

“Phew. Thank you, Ariel. Wendy? Stop using magic now.”

A child with silver hair trying to escape from Ariel’s arms and Isaac hitting on her.

“Ah, Mr. Gartz. Are you here? You came quickly.”

“······Yes.”

Lastly, there was Isaac who welcomed Gartz warmly.

Gartz was just a little dazed, but not embarrassed or anything like that.

All of those Isaacs were the real Isaac, and the Isaac that was greeting him now was also real.

Since he had been using self-immolation for so long, it seemed like he was really using it now.

“For some reason, the number of alter egos, or rather incarnations, seems to have increased.”

“Yes. My children are so energetic that I can’t help it.”

“You have come, Lord Balak.”

At that time, a woman’s voice reached Garz’s ears. When she turned her head, very familiar faces caught her eye.

Cecily, who originally exuded mature charm, became even more mature after having a child.

Beside her, a cute demon girl was hiding behind Cecily, and in her arms she was a boy with red hair and red eyes.

“Lily. I must say hello to Lord Balak.”

“Hello…”

“Do you want to try Jindo?”

“Hello.”

Unlike Lily, who was shy, the child called Jin answered bluntly. Then Cecily smiled cutely.

Gartz also smiled faintly at the scene that made her heart warm just by looking at it. This is a really happy family.

Wow!

“Ueenn!”

“Hi. Also, Yuri… Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”

“aah! Dadaa!!”

“Yes. Yes. Dad is here.”

Although other places were not at all peaceful. Fortunately, it wasn’t long before the child’s mothers came running.

The child with chestnut hair is Leona, the child with golden hair is Lina, and finally, the girl with silver hair is Arwen.

Each person scolds, comforts, etc. The method of discipline was also different for each person. There is one thing in common here.

From noble mtl dot com

The kids were all troublemakers. Normally, I would be at an age where I would have had a lot of accidents by now.

However, because they occur simultaneously, it is chaos itself.

“Let’s go for now, Cecily? I’ll talk to Mr. Gartz and then come back.”

“Okay.”

Leaving the chaotic situation at the mansion behind, Isaac leisurely led Gartz out.

At that moment, the other Isaacs who had been comforting the children were also returning with their wives.

Isaac and Gartz arrived at the reception room later. It looks like all settings have already been completed.

“I’m sorry, but the car may have cooled down a bit. Adele also has her second child, so I don’t have much time to spare.”

“It’s okay.”

Isaac asked Gartz’s understanding and talked about small things.

Even if it’s just a story, it’s about what you’re up to, whether you’re good enough to be a referee, whether you’ve seen the latest work, etc.

Gartz held back as much as he could while talking with him. Here, when he says that, he gets criticized again.

Not to Isaac, but to the King. They’ll take it away from me again because I dared to ask for Isaac’s autograph.

‘More than 10 things were taken alone…’

I’ve given up halfway now. But I haven’t completely given up.

There is still a lot of time left before Isaac ascends to heaven. Until then, I planned to take advantage of the opportunity.

‘I said I had no intention of ascending to heaven until the children were all grown up.’

The minimum is 50 years. Quite a long time even for demons.

Gartz suppressed those feelings and continued the conversation.

“Mr. Gartz.”

“Yes, Isaac.”

“It looks like you really want my autograph?”

“Yes, yes?”

“I can hear your inner thoughts.”

The problem is that Isaac could also read other people’s minds.

It has this skill because the influence of Zenonism has increased significantly compared to a few years ago.

Gartz was not only embarrassed, he was so embarrassed that he died.

“If it’s okay with you, I’ll give you one today. A lot has been taken away from you so far.”

“I will serve you for the rest of my life.”

“There’s no need for that.”

Feeling ashamed for a moment, Gartz decided to take care of Isaac for the rest of his life. I respected him from the beginning, but my feelings for him have grown.

Isaac read Gartz’s thoughts and laughed. There have been many things that have changed in the meantime, but there are also many things that have not changed.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but it will change in the blink of an eye. Just like children grow up.

“Mr. Gartz, do you have any intention of getting married?”

“I do have a fiancee.”

“Cheer up.”

“What is that all of a sudden…?”

Gartz asked back with a bewildered expression at Isaac’s joke. Isaac just smiled heartily.

Anyway, the joking was over, Isaac had a few chats with him and then parted ways. All he could say was good luck with today’s match.

‘Surprisingly, my daily life doesn’t change.’

Isaac thought as he drank tea in the drawing room, where he was left alone. The mansion was neatly renovated and the estate also developed greatly.

Still, it didn’t really affect me, perhaps because I was stuck at home more days. This must be inevitable.

‘No problems so far…’

Clink!

Just when I was thinking there was no problem, I heard a loud noise of a window breaking outside.

Even without looking, I could tell who did it. He must be one of those troublemakers.

Considering that the view is not shared by the alter ego, it is highly likely that it is Grace who was taking a nap.

“Ugh.”

Isaac got up from his seat and went outside.

Even though I was busy with writing and everything else, I was too busy.

‘I’m glad you said you wouldn’t ascend until the children are all grown up.’

You can’t ascend to heaven with troublemakers like that.

******

Even if various accidents occur, time passes. Time is one of those things that not even the gods can do anything about.

It is possible to forcibly turn back time, but it requires tremendous strength.

So even when a problem arose, Isaac did not waste time. She just lived as it went.

[28 years in the Zeno calendar. Zenon Isaac ends the ‘Cold War’.]

After finishing a new work, another break continues.

Isaac’s children grew up and became troublemakers, and in the meantime, another life was born.

Because his wives were like toothpaste and had the ability to do so.

If there had been no self-immolation, he could be sure that it would have been worse than it is now.

[30 years in the Zeno calendar. The ‘iron road’ given by Zenon Isaac wraps around the earth.]

A factory area that started in the Minerva Empire. The industrial revolution began in earnest in that factory area.

Railroads were laid not only in the empire but throughout the world, and horse-powered locomotives began to run on them.

[35 years in the Zeno calendar. Soccer, given to me by Zenon Isaac, is turning into a dream.]

Various sports, including soccer, have also developed into proper ‘businesses’. Now each country has an official league.

With the advent of magic attribute locomotives, it became easier to travel to each region in just one day. The concept of away games also appeared.

Furthermore, nobles become club owners and build their own teams. It has become a culture enjoyed around the world.

[40 years in the Zeno calendar. Zenon Isaac’s new work and prophecy…]

Even so, I did not forget my duty. Originally, I tended to write when I was bored.

It became so famous that I sometimes changed my pen name to something else. But everything was revealed.

Because of this, the aftereffects became so severe that he had no choice but to use the pen name Zeno.

Please note that the genre was not selected. Fantasy, martial arts, science fiction, etc.

I wrote it using all my imagination, and the response was quite enthusiastic.

It’s so hot that even I can’t get close.

[45 years in the Zeno calendar. Mora begs you to connect with Zenon Isaac…]

You may ask what that means, but it is a measure to prevent religious conflict.

As I said before, Mora was in a very ambiguous position and there was only one way to solve it.

Luminous also thought it was a pretty good method and readily allowed it. I don’t have to say anything about what happened after that.

[50 years in the Zeno calendar. Zenon Isaac said, […

[Zenon calendar 55 years…]

One way or another, time passes quickly.

[60 years in the Zeno calendar. Zenon Isaac ascends to heaven with the women he loves, and this will be the end of this record.]

When she thought this was enough, she ascended to the sky side by side with her wives.

[60 years in the Zeno calendar. As Zenon Isaac said, my mortal body and my sacred body will lie deep in the sea.]

Oh, of course.

[Dear children, If you find it, the day will come when you will not truly be afraid of the sea.]

Right before I ascended to heaven, I left this world with a huge mess.
