Everyone Else is a Returnee - Chapter SS17

Great Creator - 2

"No, it's not. It looks like a shit maggot! Even a bookworm who is suffering after falling into a world without a single book will not read a line of it, not even to spit it out!"

"Is there a problem?" Rita intervened.

She wanted to help Yoo ll-han, who was suffering from writing, and had erased all the lines he had written so far.

It was not like that at first. But nowadays, Rita felt like a mother, who embraces and soothes Yoo ll-han even for the littlest thing.

Yoo ll-han got distressed sometimes, but he wasn't foolish enough to express it. So he responded to her by taking the psychological line of defense.

"I didn't like the novel I was reading, so I deleted it."

"Seeing your reaction, it must have been quite bad. What's it about?"

Yoo ll-han was conflicted. If Rita believed it was a novel, it would be okay to tell her. In that line of thought, he started to open his mouth. And he began to share the shortcomings of his work.

"The development is old-fashioned, and the characters don’t have a lively feeling. It feels just like the artist never had a social life. It is just based on delusion, and has no context in the dialog!"

[Novice erotic novelist Yoo ll-han has obtained an active skill: Self-harm!]

As he talked, he added to his weaknesses. Then he lost his reason and shouted, "It's just boring...

Damn, I can't even call it a novel!"

"Why are you so angry with it?!"

Yoo ll-han was empathetic, even about the trivial things!

Rita felt the light had blinked in his mental management. She urgently approached him and hugged him tightly. It gave him a hallucination, as if the gates of Heaven were opened all at once, and a warm light embraced him.

"Let's calm down and find a better book. Don't you want to go on a trip to do that?"

Various things caught up in Yoo ll-han's brains in an instant. He glanced at the angel, who was carrying hell to him without any malice. However, Rita just patted his back and hugged him harder, as if she understood his heart.

"Calm down, you can read better novels as much you want, right? Would you like to talk about this world again?"

The words he had spoken just before he let go of his reason, to the anguish of the angelic body that embraced him, made Yoo ll-han think about what he has written so far. He nodded his head.

He thought that perhaps his writing was not lively because he lacked an understanding of the unknown world.

"Yeah, I want to know more about the world where Mages dominate."

"Seriously?! Then I have no choice but to tell you about it!" Rita said, as if she couldn't stand the joy of hearing Yoo ll-han's request. She flapped her wings once as she flew to the bed.

"It's too late, so let's go to bed for today. Put your phone down."

To this angel, it would be meaningless to claim that he was not a child anymore, because he had already done it a dozen times or more.

Yoo ll-han gently laid his head on the angel's thigh. He prayed earnestly for an end to his anguish.

"Woohoo, so cute... how about a kiss?"

Rita smiled gladly at Yoo ll-han, with his eyes shut, and perhaps ten billion light-years away from what she was thinking about. Then, the story started in earnest.

"Where were we last time? Ah, okay. When Earthlings fell into the magical world, they said that the best of them would be selected."

"Yes, where and how do the selected people learn magic? Do they fight monsters, too?"

"That’s all different depending on the world. But in most worlds, they learn it while living together with a teacher."

"Live together..."

That phrase really stimulated his imagination!

Yoo ll-han's eyes gleamed and sparkled. Rita laughed at his enthusiasm and spoke on.

"As the education is made entirely through a contract with Heaven, the students are not required to pay for it. However, no matter how much talent a Mage is born with, the training will never be easy."

"So, all the funding comes from Heaven?"

If that was so, he still could still make up a story about it!

The human that knew nothing, and the angels who deceived and joked about those humans...

If he also added a fallen angel, the storyline leading to a human's fall would be completed beautifully!

"You talked about monsters, right? They probably catch monsters, too. I'll take this opportunity to explain about the monsters in more detail. What kind of monster comes to your mind when you think of a fantasy novel?"

"Goblins, for sure."

How popular would the novel about a Slayer who was turned on by only fighting goblins be?

He had even seen a novel about the one who was reincarnated as the weakest goblin, and rose to be 'The Demon King.' Moreover, goblins were also popular in shady places. [WE FINISHED DEMON KING. Please check it out!]

He had seen many ones like 'Female Adventurer Captured After Finding Goblins And Attacking Them In Their Lair By Herself.mp4!'

Goblins were the light and darkness of the fantasy world. They could be said to be turning the most on the creature of both sides!

"Of course, Ores are more lively."

"What's more lively?"

"They can mate with Elves endlessly... No, it's nothing."

When Yoo ll-han managed to calm down, Rita laughed and spoke on.

"Actually, goblins hide in the world where they live. There is a possibility that they will not appear on Earth."

"Hide in the world they live?"

"Yeah. Goblins are vulnerable to electromagnetic waves of any kind. So, they won’t appear on Earth at all, and only hide inside their dungeons."

"It's a fresh take on it."

They were vulnerable to electromagnetic waves, and light was an electromagnetic wave.

"So goblins live in caves?"

"Yes. They thrive in places like caves and dungeons. They only come out and go around at night.

They won’t die if they come out during the day, but they still weaken a lot. Such a sad monster."

"They are really inferior..."

They were really hard to see on Earth. Of course, he wondered what would happen when a dungeon actually appeared.

"In a world where the culture of using electricity is not very developed, they are still quite prosperous. First of all, they have good fertility, and have a very strong ethnic trait that can make any kind of female pregnant."

"That’s it."

Finally, a fact about goblins that was common in both shaded and sunny places!

Rita looked at Yoo ll-han's eyes and thought that she wanted to kiss him once more, but as a higher-ranked being, it was nonsense to have such feelings toward a lower-ranked one. Thinking that was only a temporary mistake, so she continued.

"So, goblins destroyed some worlds that had no clear countermeasures against them. It was terrible, looking at them do it."

"Ohh..."

"But in a world where magic has developed, people will never be helpless. The Novice Mage graduation exam is about sweeping through a goblin nest."

The wait was long, but finally, the storyline was completed.

An Earthling who suffered a lot of things he couldn't describe from a higher-ranked mage, and at the same time, was tricked by an angel while struggling to increase his magic skills. Finally, when she could stand alone, she set out on the path to clear the goblin nest as a graduation assignment.

[Beginner Lightning Spell has reached Max Level! If you achieve all the skill evolution conditions, you can evolve your skill!]

"Master, I have mastered the Beginner Lightning Spell," Kang Mi-rae said while looking at the message that suddenly came to her eyes.

"What!?"

After a fierce competition, the one who got the right to teach her for the first time was Atyran An lltha, a Fourth Class of Great Mage. The one whose existence was treated as top secret even in Palladia, The Magical Empire, awoke and shouted, "It has only been three years since I started teaching you magic!"

"It's been three months, Master."

"But you have already mastered the Beginner Lightning Spell! Among all magic, it is extremely difficult to learn."

"Thank you again for the kind explanation, Master."

"Even when you're a child from Earth who didn't have any mana! It's ridiculous, considering that you've felt and dealt with mana from the moment you passed over to Lanpas!"

Kang Mi-rae sighed as he saw the old man standing up and shouting. It turns out that he was a royal family member, and this was the trend of the empire.

His single-minded personality, which knew nothing but magic, bothered her. Still, she thought she chose her teacher well because of his ability to teach magic.

He was very noisy, screaming with his eyes open; like now.

"Even a guy who has everything, like me, has to say that you brought out such brilliant talent at such a young age! I thought it would be harder to find a child who was blessed by God more than my granddaughter is, but there was such a child among the people of the Earth! No, I, who made you a disciple, am also blessed!"

So noisy! Even if he removed all the exclamation marks from the words, the conversation seemed to be working properly. Was that a technique that counted as magic?

Kang Mi-rae stood up, thinking that she should buy earplugs sooner or later, or find a magic tool that reduces the volume of other people's conversations, which meant that he could now communicate without adding exclamation points.

"Then what should I learn now, Master?"

"Once we evolve the magic to a higher level, let's talk again!"

"Yes, Master."

"I'll give you a task!"

Even though she didn't know what it meant to evolve her skills, the teacher has caught Kang Mi-rae, who decided to take care of herself.

"By the end of this task, you will be able to reach the magical realm of the low-level Lightning Spell!

"I'm listening."

"Hmm!"

The Mage, Atyran An lltha, declared that he was pleased that the disciple he had gained was a humble and decent girl, despite her amazing achievements.

"The task is to clear the Goblin Nest! Most materials for the evolution of Beginner Lightning Spell are byproducts of goblins. It is also an evolutionary condition to deal with various primary class types, because at least three primary class goblins live in the Goblin Nest! "

"Surely, I admire you, Master. Then I will prepare right away and leave."

"No preparation required!" the mage declared boldly.

He was not like the one who always begged her to act carefully and advised her to do a thorough investigation no matter what kind of man she meets. The one who always said she would suffer from meeting the wrong man at a young age when she needed to practice magic.

"No need for preparation? But I heard that humans from Earth, like me, are having great difficulty with sweeping goblin nests!"

"But you don't need it! Look at the goblins yourself, and you'll see what I mean!"

"If Master says so, I'll see. I will leave immediately."

"Do it!"

Seeing a disciple who obeyed her teacher, Atyran An lltha thought he would have to arrange a seat with his granddaughter sooner or later.

Meanwhile, while doing so, Kang Mi-rae still thought that she must come up with the least of measures, and left the room.

'I heard that it is a mistake to look down on a goblin. It was said that if it weren’t for the protection magic given to all the Earthlings' avatars, it would have been a tough goal. Even though it's not dangerous, if I don't think everything is real and don't move, it'll become a bad habit, and become very dangerous someday.'

If all Earthlings had thoughts like Kang Mi-rae, the fourth class would have overflowed on Earth!

"Ah, Ms. Kang Mi-rae! Long time no see."

"Ms. Angel."

Walking through the imperial palace's corridor, an angel flew out of the window, frantically found her, and approached her. People said that the higher-ranked beings are very busy, but she visited here often.

"Did you think about that last offer? When you return to Earth after the training period is over, I would like to suggest the upper part to operate the Guardian Angel system. If you would like to continue to connect with Heaven and receive support in the future, please feel free to tell us!"

"Yes, I'll give it a thought. I'm also grateful to everyone who gave great consideration to the people of the Earth."

"Ah! Thank you very much! If so, may I briefly explain the guardian angel system now?"

If she listened to the angel's explanation, it seemed that someday humans could also grow up and become angels. And when angels find talented humans like Kang Mi-rae, they use their strength to develop it in advance.

It wasn't easy to judge objectively how outstanding her talents were, but seeing angels coming to her often like this, she could roughly guess.

"No, I'm a little busy right now, so please ask later."

"Oops, then it can’t be helped. I'll see you again later and talk to you. Please continue to look forward to us angels. We are angels from the Legions of Heaven!"

"Yes, well done."

Maybe she would do the same if she met her later.

Kang Mi-rae even left the other and returned to her work without any appreciation.

As a Mage's disciple, she bought and carried all kinds of antidotes, mana potions and disposable talismans that created defense barriers by spending the monthly grants from the empire, and headed to the goblin nest, in a dungeon designated by her teacher.

-Kieeeek!

-Burr, a human with lightning!

-Kiih!

And the moment she entered the dungeon and fired thunderbolts at the monsters she encountered for the first time, she naturally understood why the Master told her that there was no need to prepare anything.

[You got the record of a Lv3 Goblin]

[You reached Lv2! Magic Power has increased by 5]

[You got the record of a Lv4 Goblin.]

[You have killed as many as five enemies with a single shot! You got the title 'Mage's Favorite.'

When dealing with multiple enemies, the power of all magic increases by 10%!]

"What is this?" Kang Mi-rae muttered, because she felt ridiculous as she watched all five goblins, who were guarding the dungeon’s mouth, die in one shot of a thunderbolt that was blown by a single arrow."

"They are so weak."
