How a Hero Lives as a Writer

0 – Prologue – Not the warrior, but the author.

I am recorded as the most useless warrior in history. Existence to be

Are you talking about abilities?

Uh… That’s not wrong.

It is impossible for me to split mountains with a sword and split the sea with a staff like the legendary warriors.

But it’s not about ability.

It’s about this world where I was summoned as a hero.

The world of Mare is a peaceful world that does not require warriors.

The demons and evil spirits that threaten mankind have long since disappeared.

My being summoned here is just an incident.

Some say I was summoned while holding an event honoring the warriors who saved this world in the past….

I was quite taken aback, but I asked to be sent back home.

Then he said he would have to wait a year to return.

In a world where there is no need for heroes, I ended up doing a short-term part-time job as a warrior for a year.

In other words, this Marera will be recorded as the most useless hero in the history books of the world.

Still, it’s fortunate that I didn’t kill them right away or sell them into slavery because I didn’t need them.

I decided to wait for the day I would go back home after spending a year in moderation.

But it was harder than I thought.

Suppose that modern people, who used to play with TVs, computers, and smartphones every day, survive for a year in a different world close to the Middle Ages.

It’s ridiculously boring.

Okay, now that we’re in the fantasy world, let’s go on a trip!

But I stopped doing that too.

It is a world where monsters that eat people head first exist.

It was dangerous outside the house, as well as in another world.

I should read a book quietly in the castle….

With that in mind, I visited the library with the king’s permission.

I asked her well-mannered librarian about popular books, and she recommended two books.

A romance novel set in a fantasy world where swords and magic exist.

For the warrior, a former Hako writer and editor, it was a mouth-watering existence.

However, the drooling was replaced by yawning within an hour.

The content deals with the love between a man and a woman in their 20s, but the story development was so boring that it felt like a documentary about an elderly couple in their 70s.

I thought the librarian’s taste was nasty, so I checked the other novels in the library.

But the content was similar to or more boring than the first novel I read.

“Our principality has long winters, so literature is developed.”

“… Is that so?”

The king who summoned me said that the books in this country are of a fairly good standard.

“Hmm? It seems that you didn’t have much fun.”

“Yes. I guess it’s because the culture is different. It was a little lacking in stimulation.”

“Whoa. Then, would you like to tell me an interesting story about the world you lived in?”

A year is long, outside the castle is dangerous, and novels are boring.

Then there is only self-sufficiency.

Let’s try a little bit.

I wrote a novel with that thought in mind.

“Your Highness… No, the writer. When will the next volume come out?”

“Yes?”

“What about the next volume?”

… Is this the Moonpung Dangdang or something?
