How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World-Novel

Marie Hausen Requilis, daughter of Duke Requilis, was recently enjoying happy days. Thanks to her diligent studies, she received good grades at the academy and had hardly any stress to deal with.

Despite experiencing various incidents and accidents this year, she was able to overcome them wisely, and most importantly, her relationship with Rina, which could be considered a bad fate, had progressed much more than before.

Following Isaac’s advice, the two had a conversation, and Rina apologized sincerely, bowing her head, and their relationship became a little closer. Of course, Marie did not forget to apologize to Rina, acknowledging her own mistakes.

Now that her twisted fate with Rina had been resolved, there was only one thing left: her relationship with her boyfriend, Isaac.

Isaac was the author of Xenon’s Biography, a series of books that had many people on edge, eager to know his true identity. Of course, those around them knew who Isaac was, but the fact that he was Marie’s boyfriend was even more important. And not just an ordinary relationship, but one that included nights spent together.

Since their first night together, they had been engaging in a full-blown sexual relationship, making the most of their time together, especially since Isaac had recently been appointed as a recommended student by Professor Elena, giving him more free time.

Marie had no reason to be unhappy when she was stressed with schoolwork because Isaac took care of her physically and emotionally. They were so happy that sometimes it felt like a dream.

Above all, Marie was pleased with the recent changes in Isaac. Walking down the street, she called out to him as they stood side by side.

“Isaac.”

“Yeah?”

At Marie’s call, Isaac turned his head to look at her. During the past three months, Marie had slowly peeled away Isaac’s changed appearance, which had changed too much despite his initial cute and innocent penguin-like looks that stirred protective instincts. Now his eyes were sharper, his cheeks less full, and he had slimmed down noticeably.

But that wasn’t all. Like a proof of the old saying that boys grow later than girls, he had grown several inches taller in just the last few months. From barely clearing 170cm, he was now easily surpassing 180cm, and his father’s genes had started to manifest, widening his shoulders.

Marie had heard that he had to change his school uniform every two weeks because of how suddenly he had grown.

But there was something even more important to Marie.

“You called?”

“Mmm.”

As soon as Isaac opened his mouth, Marie’s expression showed she was entranced by his sweet, almost whispering voice. While his body had grown noticeably, what Marie liked most about him was his voice.

Before, he had a boyish, thin voice, but now it had deepened to a sweet tone that seemed to drip like honey. A beautiful voice that would make her swoon if he whispered in her ear.

A man’s attractive voice is already enough to win a woman’s favor, but Isaac had a unique appearance to match.

He’s a top star who dominates the world with his flawless appearance and perfect voice. Marie didn’t believe such a man could exist, but it didn’t take long for her to realize that he was her boyfriend.

She grabbed Isaac’s arm tightly, feeling a thrilling excitement. Before growing up, it felt like she was sticking to him, but now it was like hanging due to the height difference.

“Isaac. Isaac.”

“Yeah, Marie.”

“Hehe.”

What kind of good deeds did she have to do in her previous life to meet such a perfect man? She smiled bashfully and snuggled her face against Isaac’s arm.

Isaac blinked his golden eyes at her cuteness and gently stroked her hair. Marie made a purring sound like a cat, as if asking for more.

“Hmm~ Do you like me that much?”

“Yes.”

“I like you too.”

Isaac’s honey-like voice, both masculine and gentle, tickled Marie’s ears. She held onto his arm tightly, as if she would never let go, while also not forgetting to slide her slightly larger chest between them. Thanks to her own growth in various ways, she had started to exude a mature charm.

And Isaac couldn’t help but laugh at the soft feeling on his arm, as if he couldn’t resist it. He didn’t feel embarrassed or ashamed like before, as he had seen much worse.

It was just a bit of cuteness. Of course, since Marie had played a prank on him, he planned to play one back. He slowly leaned his face closer to Marie’s ear and whispered.

“Are you trying to seduce me now? Just say the word anytime.”

“Hehehe…”

And Marie melted away.

*****

I smiled as I watched Marie’s expression melt away like ice cream, but I didn’t release my hold on her arm. Since the exhibition a few months ago, Marie had changed rapidly, just like I had.

First, she had grown a little taller, and her appearance had changed from that of a girl to that of a refined adult. Most of all, her already large breasts had gotten even bigger, as I could feel on my arm.

Of course, they weren’t as overwhelming as Cecily’s, but they had definitely grown since our first night together.

According to rumors floating around, breasts grow larger when someone touches them, so that might have had some influence. I couldn’t help but laugh at the memory of Marie complaining that she needed new underwear.

It was sometimes hard to believe that such a beautiful and well-proportioned woman was my girlfriend, but that only made me love her even more.

“…Not today. I have a test tomorrow, so I have to study.”

While lost in my thoughts, I was awakened by Marie’s answer, barely audible through her flushed face. If I were to press her cheek with my finger, I felt like red liquid would trickle down.

For a moment, I lamented not being able to continue my thoughts, but upon hearing that it was exam period, I opened my mouth to ask.

“What exam is it this time?”

“It’s a math exam. I envy Isaac. He only has to take history.”

As evident from Marie’s envious expression, I had been appointed as a recommended student by Professor Elena, allowing me to skip other classes and focus solely on history.

Starting from my second year, I would also serve as her assistant. However, I had a desire to acquire knowledge in various fields and sometimes attended other lectures. Instead of taking exams, I merely observed, and the professors did not mind much.

“I should still do well on the history exam. If I waste your time and end up losing my recommended status, I’ll regret it.”

“I’m still envious. You must love history as much as Professor Elena does for her to recommend you.”

“I just got lucky.”

I continued organizing my notes while Professor Elena had merely stumbled upon me. Afterward, I started visiting her research lab and reading books and papers in exchange for her teaching Cindy writing techniques. Marie, still holding onto my arm, pouted and complained while sending me envious glances.

“Ah~ I’m so envious. I want to quickly become a third-year student too. From the third year, you can just focus on one subject, right?”

“If it’s you, wouldn’t it be possible? Or ask Professor Elena for help. You’re going to study history too, right?”

“I used to think that way, but I’ve changed my mind. I’m going to study political science if it will help you. It would also be better for me to reconcile with Rina, don’t you think?”

“Didn’t you use to say you wanted to be with me?”

“That was before, but my feelings have changed. Learning politics would be more helpful to you. And we could reconcile with Rina too, wouldn’t that be better?”

Why does she always choose such smart and cute words to say? She’s so lovable that it’s unbearable.

I wanted to take her to a secluded place and make a mess, but since tomorrow is the exam day, I barely restrained myself. We have plenty of time, so I can wait for later.

“By the way, are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“Things are crazy because of the 11th volume. People are even coming to offer condolences at your territory, right?”

“… …”

I let out a wry smile at Marie’s question. Currently, the 11th volume has been released and it’s been about a week.

And many people were shocked that Kair’s love with Elisha ended tragically. Even though no one actually died, there was a mourning procession for Kair.

To be honest, I was expecting a strong reaction. Coincidentally, Kair’s side story was also released, so his evaluation was rising.

However, it was purely my misconception to think that I would only receive some criticism and it would be over. As people who claimed to have come to offer condolences began to appear one by one, the situation began to take an odd turn.

According to my mother’s letter, they all solemnly place white chrysanthemums in front of the art pieces related to Kair, and by the way, the art pieces displayed during the exhibition remain intact.

‘If I had known this would happen, I would have released up to the 12th volume together…’

In the 11th volume, Kair’s death is highlighted, and in the 12th volume, the relationship between Xenon and Mary is focused on. This is because Mary confesses to Xenon as she reveals herself to be an elf.

And my line that I gave to Cecily at that time appears. I say that it’s better to live with longing than to regret like anyone else, so I will love you.

Thanks to that, Xenon also overcomes his shock and becomes one step closer to growth, repeatedly training to seek revenge against jealousy.

Of course, all of these scenes will appear in the 12th volume, and currently the 11th volume is more important. I was at a loss for what to say, so I absentmindedly rubbed my neck as usual.

“…I didn’t expect it to be this serious either. When I first heard the news, I thought it was an exaggeration.”

“Exactly, who would create such a poignant story and kill off characters recklessly? This is just destroying readers’ fantasies.”

“Keep your voice down. Someone might overhear us.”

Fortunately, there were no passersby around us at the moment, but Marie’s remark was quite risky. Marie also realized that fact belatedly and quickly covered her mouth with a “Hup!”

Continuing, she looked around and sighed in relief after confirming that no one was around.

“Anyway, it seems a bit risky to kill off characters. Just in case, do you think Kair won’t come back to life or something?”

“Um… He won’t?”

“What do you mean he won’t? Are you hesitating?”

“Even if he appears, he’ll only appear at the end. It’s not even decided.”

Originally, Kair wasn’t supposed to reappear at all, but due to strong demands from readers, even the Isaac’s mind gradually changed. However, to avoid complicating the story, even if he does appear, it will only be in the epilogue.

As for how he appears, it’s like his soul reincarnating into someone who looks just like him in this world. It’s a timeless love story where everything from his past life comes back to him the moment he meets Elisha.

‘But what about Jin? I’m probably going to be screwed…’

Jin’s death would be just as severe if not worse than Kair’s. This makes it difficult for me to decide whether to change the story or not.

If the story is changed, it may become a botched job as the breadcrumbs and subplots that have been laid out so far cannot be retrieved, and if it continues as is, I will receive a lot of criticism from readers.

Moreover, even my mother is one of the readers who wants Jin and Lily to end up together, so it could be a disaster. It’s an extremely embarrassing situation for the author.

“Well, you probably have something else in mind. Anyway, if Xenon and Mary end up together, that’s fine with me. I wonder if those two will…”

“Regardless, the protagonist and the heroine should end up together no matter what.”

“You have a good point. Hmm. Even though he’s the protagonist, he needs to have children. Jin and Lily will probably be the same, right? By the way, our mother is looking forward to it.”

“… …”

I hope they’re not going to end up with a break up.
