How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World[part1]

Chapter 150: Lee Waejin (2)

Therefore, it was purely a coincidence, and I swear I had no prior knowledge.

'Of all things, the World Tree...'

The problem was that not something else but the roots of the World Tree have indeed been contaminated. Apparently, a certain noble of Elvenheim, who read Volume 13, suspiciously requested confirmation from Arwen, and she complied with it.

Originally, the Council of Elders would oppose it, but it must have been difficult to oppose something as significant as the World Tree. After that, upon careful investigation, they discovered the contamination of the roots.

Naturally, Elvenheim was in an uproar. The World Tree was a direct gift from the gods to the elves, a symbol that had protected them for 3000 years.

But what if the roots of that World Tree were gradually becoming contaminated, just like in the novel?

For the elves, it was an astonishing matter and could only be described as an unprecedented crisis that should never happen.

The only fortunate thing is that it might be a phenomenon arising from the aftermath of the Great Devil war 3000 years ago, rather than someone's deliberate manipulation.

Still, it was an undeniable fact that the contamination was progressing. Currently, the priests of Alvenheim were joining forces to carry out purification work, but the aftermath was not insignificant.

A representative example would be...

[Adventurers and mercenaries are searching diligently for traces of devils. Debates arise regarding the difference between devils and the demons...]

[Leaders of each nation have decided to heighten their vigilance against devils. In a world where contamination of the World Tree has become a reality, there is no guarantee that devil invasions won't occur.]

[Three thousand years is a sufficient amount of time for all races to immerse themselves in peace. Devils may seize the opportunity just like in the Xenon's Biography.]

As a result, there were hardly any people who considered it merely a work of fiction. The number of people searching for traces of devils has significantly increased. In a reality where things that shouldn't exist have become real, there is no law saying that devil invasions won't happen. This is what was written in the newspaper.

As for me, it was an overwhelming and suffocating situation, but this wasn't the end.

[Xenon is not an ordinary sage. He is likely a renowned scholar capable of accessing Alvenheim's World Tree and has connections with the high-ranking nobles of Alvenheim.]

[Could Xenon's Biography be a book written about the future? Such speculations have emerged. While the characters may be fictional, the situations depicted in the novel could potentially occur in the future.]

[Lucifer said, "Arrogance. Prolonged peace softens even the most rational judgment. Have you enjoyed the peace all this time?" This could be Xenon's warning to us.]

Due to the unexpected warning (?), the number of people looking for me has increased, and they were treating me not just as a sage but as a "prophet." It was amusing to see them delude themselves, but I'm starting to feel that things are escalating. If I were to reveal my true identity someday, would they even believe me? Considering the current situation, I highly doubt it.

'...First, I should send a letter to the publisher.'

To avoid any potential consequences, it seemed better to clarify my position from the outset. The media may be buzzing about the prophet, but it was just a mere coincidence. I had no intention of exploiting this situation, nor could I bear the burden. I need to resolve this situation as soon as possible.
