Chapter 20 – 020 – New Groom Hyde Is a Novelist #3
020 – The new groom, Hyde, is a novelist # 3
A story from when I was still ‘really’ 22.
“—I will rape you.”
As I recited the lines I had only been thinking about in my mind, I felt dizzy. As I fell back on the chair, my neck and back, which had been stretched out like a turtle, made a crunching sound.
To take a short break, I turned my chair around and looked at the surroundings.
A room with a large wooden cross on the wall came into view under the fluorescent lights.
The studio apartment near Daehakro, which costs 350,000 won per month, was bound to be narrow no matter how spacious it was.
Weeeeeing-. The sound of an old, stuttering computer and the refrigerator, which was running noisily even though there was nothing in it, made a loud noise with momentum.
An unusually quiet room.
Squeeze-. While massaging my eyes with the large part of my palm, I again read the sentence written on the blue monitor screen out loud.
“I will rape every woman in the world.”
… Are there any other words in the world so terrible?
If it were me, I wouldn’t even want to deal with someone who says things like this. Of course, there was no way in the world that someone who would say something like this with sincerity actually existed.
This shameless sentence is, after all, a line from a character that appears in the novel.
“I will rape every woman in the world! Men are slaves! I will sacrifice the old people and the children!”
The character who said this line was the main character of the novel I wrote, ‘Another World Devil Cult’, and was a terrible villain.
A villain so vicious that there is no room for sympathy.
But for me, he was the number 4 hitter who would make me a lot of money.
“… I need money.”
Overdue rent and overdue bills were piled up next to the keyboard. However, the real problem was not that the cell phone stopped working, or the water supply was blocked.
The private loan debt that the director had hastily acquired had a very strong interest rate, so it quickly grew like a snowball.
If things continued like this, the teacher and younger siblings at the facility might have to split up, so I had to raise approximately 40 million won within three months.
However, I was just a seminarian from an orphanage returning to school for my second year.
How did I earn such a large amount of money, 40 million won, in less than three months?
How?
How on earth…
After struggling for a while, what I saw was an internet advertising banner.
It was sparkling with blue light, like a revelation from the Lord.
「Evilpia’s Infinite Hell Adult Web Novel Contest!」
「Opportunity to win up to 100 million won in prize money!」
100 million.
100,000,000.
It was money that I wondered if I would ever touch in my lifetime.
If I had this money, I would be able to pay off the debt at the orphanage, and it was clear that I would have plenty of money left over until I graduated from seminary and graduate school.
“You need a lot of money to become a pastor.”
Pastors were generally a poor profession.
But ironically, to become a pastor, you needed a lot of money.
Also, my dream was to become a pastor of a new church!
A believer who starts from one person in a land where there is nothing!
Also, she takes the pure and godly ‘maiden’ as her wife and goes through the rest of her life together.
That was my strong wish.
“Therefore, I need this 100 million won. I have to aim for the grand prize with a minimum prize of 40 million won. Unconditionally! Unconditionally! I have no answer other than this path!”
I became desperate because this advertisement for the 100 million won prize seemed like a calling or revelation given to me.
Fortunately, I was confident when it came to writing.
For a theology student who would one day become a pastor and write sermons, knowledge of the humanities was basic.
Also, the facility had a lot of donated books, so he had an aptitude for reading and writing from a young age.
If there’s a problem… The theme of this contest was ‘adult novel’.
It’s an adult novel.
19+.
It had to be an explicit adult novel, not a sensual literature like ‘The Age of Loss’, which I used to read secretly from teachers.
So to speak, it is a dirty story.
“1 million…”
A dirty tale and 100 million won.
After struggling with many things, I accessed the site Evilpia, read a few adult novels, and started typing on the keyboard.
“Whatever, let’s do it! Lord, do not take this tribulation away from me, but give me the strength and wisdom to overcome it! Please give me writing skills… !”
# # #
In the end, as if my desperate prayers were effective, I won the grand prize.
“Target confirmed! I Betrayed Nanbit-‘s work ‘Another World Devil Cult’! 」
“A work that shines with vivid psychological descriptions and realistic stories. The intro that starts with “I will rape every woman in the world” Is a masterpiece!”
「Writer’s impressions of the subject – I’m dumbfounded. That’s it.”
When an amount of money I had never seen before came into my bank account, I was stunned by a thrill I had never felt before.
It felt like my chair was floating 5 cm in the air.
I said I was confident in my writing skills, but how can I earn 100 million from my first pornographic story?
Did I really have a talent for writing?
The reactions from readers were very, very enthusiastic!
“It’s been a while since Evilpia released a 19+ masterpiece.”
“Aren’t the descriptions particularly vivid when killing or raping people?”
“Looking at the comments, there was a rumor that the writer had 4 criminal records…”
「It’s definitely a story that couldn’t come out of the thoughts of an ordinary person. Haha. The concept of the review is strange, so I guess it’s not an ordinary person.」
“The author is so suspicious that he deserves an award… 」
Several communities began to delve into the human being called ‘me’.
It was a nonsense story about being a criminal with a criminal record, wearing an electronic anklet, and actually having raped and killed someone.
I, Haido, have never even held hands with a woman, let alone raped and murdered.
“Aren’t the women kidnapped in the writer’s basement like we saw in Episode 4? In the author’s review, you said you live in OO, right? Haha,”
“Isn’t OO-dong the only studio apartment near Daehak-ro in OO city? Let’s find every place in the basement haha”
The problem is that they started tracking my email address and actual address through my ID.
“A big problem happened.”
I was a little scared.
In the 21st century society, there may be people who wonder what’s wrong with being caught writing pornographic stories, but I’m not an ordinary person, I’m a theology student!
What if my identity is revealed to be ‘Haido’, a second-year student attending a seminary?
It was clear that I would be kicked out of the seminary, and the director who had taken money from me to pay off my debt was sure to get so angry that he would throw away the money he received!
Even my brothers and sisters in the facility will treat me like trash!
“I have to withdraw.”
I thought I should leave the suspicious web novel site Evilpia.
However, the ‘Withdraw’ button was in a very difficult place to find, and as I searched various sites, I ended up seeing the amount I would be paid out next month.
「Cumulative settlement amount: 44,446,667 won」
「Application for withdrawal」
A chill ran down my spine and cold sweat began to flow. My lips became dry, my breathing became heavy, and my body trembled.
If I had this money, it would be a great help in establishing ‘my own church’ after graduating from theological school.
If these profits continue to accumulate month after month until the story is completed… ?
“… Should I take another semester off?”
I tapped the keyboard with a skill that I am now quite accustomed to.
Flashing. Qarring-!
At that time, lightning struck the room and I lost consciousness immediately.
I don’t know how lightning struck the third floor indoors, but this is all I remember.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying in Bluebeard and the villain Nicola’s hospital room.
Yes, I remember everything.
Is this a dream now?
Breathe─.
As I gave strength to my body, my consciousness floated.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a room in an antique mansion.
A blanket was draped over my shoulders, and I could smell the scent of flowers.
“Did Psyche cover for me? “I fell asleep without realizing it and had an old dream again.”
The reason I dreamed about the past was probably because I was writing with a pen.
Whenever I fell asleep while writing, I always dreamed of being struck by lightning.
This is the time when I was punished for writing pornographic stories out of greed for money!
“I won’t write dirty talk anymore. Because I want to write a masterpiece that deeply explores faith and truth, like The Pilgrim’s Progress. And even though it was just my idea, that masterpiece was already completed in my hands!”
Zek-.
A manuscript was placed in front of me as I dozed off on my desk.
The title is “Village of Back Alley Nymphs”.
I dare say that it was the best fairy tale of all time, fully filled with my theological essence and tailored to a child’s level.
I took it and went to my brother-in-law’s room.
It’s late in the afternoon as the sun is setting through the hallway windows.
The maid running errands blocked me again.
“Stop. Didn’t you hear what Dr. Selim said? Master, you are not in good health. “No visits are allowed today.”
Selim, Doctor of Theology.
His words seemed quite authoritative to the people of this mansion.
There was that aspect in the 21st century as well.
The opinions of doctors appearing on YouTube and saying things like exercise and what not to eat have always been accepted as high authority.
In order to save really important souls, priests say, “Do not sin.” “Go to church” Sounds old-fashioned!
“Then just hand this book to Prince Dihon. Prince Dihon said that he likes reading books and listening to stories, so he will definitely like it.”
Zek-.
I handed her bundle of papers to the maid.
The maid took her bundle of papers and looked at me warily.
Plop, plop.
I just walked out of the hallway.
When I returned to the room, Psyche was sitting on the bed.
When she saw me, she was happy.
“Hyde, I’ve been waiting for you!”
“Psyche. “You waited for me?”
“Did you finish your nap? From the looks of it, it looks like he wrote something. I know it’s rude, but I was curious about what it said, so I read it briefly. “I wanted to talk about that article!”
Psyche read my writing?
I was a little nervous.
I still feel nervous when someone reads my writing and reacts.
“Well, I’ve written many times, but this is my first time writing a fairy tale. So I don’t know if this had been fun or not. In the first place, it was written for teaching, not for fun─.”
Soon Psyche opened her eyes.
“That was a great story! Especially that nymph? I was even moved by the fact that this being struggles alone to survive in an unfamiliar world but does not lose his innocence!”
Village of back alley nymphs.
It was a story about a fairy nymph who fell into an unfamiliar world and suffered alone but did not lose her innocence.
It was like that.
It is an autobiographical novel that tells the story of Hyde, who has fallen into this barbaric world, and yet does not lose his faith!
To accurately see the theme of a story that can be difficult to understand.
It was clear that Psyche was born to be my wife.
Soon Psyche spoke.
“Hyde, I heard it from your mother. “You said you were trying to cure my younger brother Dihon’s illness?”
“That’s right. That’s why I wrote this story. First, I thought I needed to get to know Prince Dihon. “I have one question here.”
“Are you curious about something?”
“I heard that it was because of the work of her younger brother, Prince Dihon, that you took an oath to remain chaste. “Is that true?”
Psyche closed her mouth.
Did she choose to remain silent rather than lie?
Soon Psyche nodded her head and opened her lips in a calm voice.
“That’s right. Dihon had a bad heart since he was young. So, I made a promise to the Lord on my own, as if I was bullying him. “I will maintain my chastity, so please help Dihon get better.”
“Indeed, the whole reason I refused to get married until now was to keep that promise. There were many complex reasons. It’s a common occurrence. “It is a matter of making a pledge to the Lord in return for something.”
For example, some believers say that from now on, they will go to early morning prayers every day, so please help my son do well on the CSAT―people often made the same pledge.
Actually, I didn’t like this behavior.
The belief in blessings and blessings is no different from barbaric shamanism.
Psyche’s face darkened slightly at my story.
The way the two blue eyes became moist made me feel like I was about to burst into tears.
“If I don’t keep that promise… I have a feeling that Dihon will never get better. Hyde, I’m so sorry to you. “This should have been discussed before marriage.”
“That would have been nice.”
However, if you were to ask whether my choice would have been different if I had known in advance that Psyche was a purist, of course it would not have been the case.
Still, I would have married Psyche.
Because I have had a crush on her for a long time and recognized her as my only mate.
Also, if you want to discipline Loras, Manaan, and Oscar Archibald, it’s best to rely on Agarpe’s power.
“Hyde.”
Kkoooook.
At that time, Psyche held my hand.
First-hand touch.
Psyche said when I was startled by a touch that was softer than I expected.
“Hyde, if you want to have children, you can take a second wife. I might be able to recognize the true person myself. If you raise your child and that person’s child like mine and your child…”
“Second wife? Are you serious?”
Since only one wife is allowed in this kingdom, they said to bring in a ‘concubine.’
Nobles and high-ranking priests often conspired.
But her countess’s wife urged her second wife to her own husband. Doesn’t Psyche have the arrogant pride that is typical of noble daughters?
“I am sincere.”
That’s how sorry he is to me.
Psyche is willing to give up her pride for me.
Feeling Psyche’s ‘earnest sincerity’, I thought it was rude not to react at all.
“Psyche, what kind of woman would catch my eye over you, who were called ‘the three flowers of the kingdom’? These are truly sad words. Psyche, my love for you is real.”
“… Hyde, you… !”
“If there is someone else that catches my eye, it would be a member of the ‘Three Flowers’ like you. Great. Then, I will take a second wife, so please bridge the gap with one of the ‘Three Flowers’.”
“… Yes? Yes?”
“Well, Abraham and Jacob, the fathers of faith, also took many wives, and I do the same. From a biblical perspective, there is no problem.”
I wanted to remain chaste with Psyche.
Psyche was so desperate for me to take her as her second wife, so I couldn’t help it.
Didn’t Sarah, the wife of Abraham, the father of faith, recommend Hagar, her servant girl, to be Abraham’s second wife because she could not bear children?
Therefore, this was a very biblically correct story.
“Psyche, please just let me meet Archbishop Archibald’s youngest daughter, who, like you, is called the “Three Flowers.” Then I will take care of the rest!”
“… Ha?”
