17 – Chapter 1. librarian librarian (2)

In this world, Lee Mae Mang-ryang and Yokai are not mere miscellaneous ghosts.

The crystallization of imagination deeply rooted in human history.

Whether fear or curiosity, things in the imagination that humans have thought of and created for any reason.

And by making these immortals, youkai, and gods their own, the person with the ability can become such an existence.

-I am the storm god!

-I am the storm god!

Whether it’s a myth or a tale, if it doesn’t really exist, a person with a special ability can even become a god with the power of mana.

-Ah, I have the power to manipulate electricity…?

For example, let’s say that there is a person with the ability to manipulate lightning.

-Look at this, Mr. Han! We invite you to our Greece! You will become our Greek god, Zeus!

– Am I Zeus? Isn’t Zeus just raping women?

-If Danshin comes to Greece, you can actually do it like Zeus! You may be a criminal in Korea, but Greece is on your side! Greek goddesses will be by your side every night!

-…Yes?

-It’s worth it for you! If you defect to Greece, you will receive a huge salary and a line of women! First of all, dye your hair blonde and start with plastic surgery!

What if this man had been exposed to Greek mythology since childhood?

-I am Zeus reincarnated in the present age!!

As in, you can maximize your imagination by identifying yourself with a god that exists in the past.

-So Zeus throws lightning directly? Then I guess I can practice javelin as well.

The more specific the data on the myth, the better.

The more media that humans have embodied their imaginations in relation to mythology.

– Bring all the greek and roman mythology related materials in the world! Books, games, comics, anime, movies! anything and everything!!

The ability of the person with the special ability is further strengthened.

– I am Zeus! God of Olympus! Whoever resists me, I’ll give you a taste of a million volts!

-what. Is it Pi-O-Chu?

-conflict! Oh no. Rude guy!! I am the thunder god Zeus! If I win, I’ll take you!

-crazy! You know you’re Zeus!

To put it badly, some say that I was eaten up by the concept.

– Zeus Thunder!

In a good way, you don’t have to think complicatedly about how to use this ability, just synchronize yourself with the way you use the weapon or fighting method in the existing mythology.

This was called [Synchro] in the original work.

Whether it is a myth, a legend, or a tale, identifying oneself with the story or imaginary being.

It may be difficult to transform into a completely new being because it is like creating a story, but it is easy to make a story in an existing myth or legend into one’s own.

-Zeus! You are the pride of our Greece!

-no! Zeus must be Jupiter! It is the pride of our Rome!

– Take me, Zeus! I’ll be your Hera!

What happens like this is the actual condition of people with special abilities that are universal in this world.

‘That’s all Gukppong build-up.’

If I come into this world and think about it objectively, this is also a kind of modification to cause a stir.

‘If everyone makes a gukppong, it won’t be a gukppong even if Korea does the same.’

What if all countries brought traditions and myths to build their own national prestige and put them on top of the superpowers?

If it is a myth or legend, especially in your country, the country will use it as propaganda.

– This time, I am the ‘Maritime Telegraph’ who became a new A-class person!

-Wait a minute. why is that armor Are you insulting Chungmoo-gong now?

– This person’s special ability can overlay a turtle ship made of waves on an existing ship! An invincible ship that can protect itself from shelling by other ships is created!

– Mr. Ha. that’s kind of enticing

The act of bringing a being from the past into the future and making it a new being reborn in the present, [Synchro].

It is quite different from simply wearing a suit shaped like a national flag to a body-enhancing talent and having him fight, and his name is ‘Taegeukdaejang’ or wearing a suit symbolizing the chrysanthemum and calling him ‘Mugunghwa Guy’.

To make a legendary being your own.

It applies equally to so-called ghosts and ghosts, like me and ‘goblin’.

Even the gumiho.

“Can I call you Student Lee Seon? Student Lee Seon. You think it’s important to increase your mana, or the ability to use this ability… so you think it’s more important to have a rich imagination?”

“I think both are important. If you ask me which is more important, obviously mana is more important.”

“Yes. Mana. It’s important. But sometimes, just by having a human imagination, you can have tremendous power. You can say it in a technical sense. And the subject to bring that imagination is in human history.”

“…I bought something, and the teacher’s words are a bit complicated because it seems like I’m listening to a new theory.”

“Is that so? I’m just reciting things as they are.”

I’m just explaining the original explanation in my own way.

“Based on the thoughts and ideas about the existence in myths and legends, make the existence your own. Instead of following the original, why not make the materials in the existing media your own? Just as students develop their abilities based on the data.”

“It feels like you answered something from a completely different world than the question I asked.”

“…A little, maybe.”

Oops.

I was so excited that I met the heroine in the original work, so I stopped unknowingly talking about the settings of the original work.

“I’m sorry. Just thinking about this on a regular basis, the words came out at random. A contract with a demon or a monster. hehehe, forget about it.”

“If the.”

huh?

If the?

“If I make a contract with such an existence… No, to be precise, if I buy a sword and make such an existence my own, as Sensei said, what kind of god would suit me?”

“nine tailed fox.”

respect for the original.

You don’t have to say anything weird.

“I think a gumiho would suit you.”

“A gumiho is a monster that eats people’s livers.”

“It’s up to you to think about it. The nine-tailed fox is an existence that encompasses the entire East Asia, and in China and Japan, it is also an existence that is in the same position as a ‘god’.”

“If that’s the case, I know. White-faced golden hair. But that’s a monster god.”

“What if I became a Korean-style, modern nine-tailed fox different from the ghost god?”

At my words, Yoon Yi-sun opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Modern…a nine-tailed fox?”

“Yes. Well… Throwing a marble created with mana and then retrieving it, creating a fox fire around you to intercept enemies, or transforming into a fox momentarily and running while creating a fox fire.”

The most representative nine-tailed fox I know is such an image.

“Anyway, the concept of skipping liver in modern times is a bit excessive.”

“Did you skip the liver? It looks like a nine-tailed fox from the past. And it could be because you think it’s a monster, but there can be any number of heroes in the form of beasts, right?”

Or a chaebol bat man.

“Just because you were a ghost or a monster in ancient times, there is no such thing as a villain in modern times.”

“Can a monster become a hero?”

“Becoming a hero. It sounds good, but just because you want to be a hero doesn’t mean you become a hero.”

I put a fist on my chest.

“Can’t the person who makes this sound a hero?”

“Anyone who thinks of themselves as a hero is a hero?”

“No.”

Pass because there is a psychopath villain who thinks so.

“Anyone who is believed to be a ‘hero’ by many people is a hero, not a made-up hero. No matter how they look.”

“……It’s interesting.”

Yoon I-sun smiled lightly and checked the taegeuk watch.

“Hmm… I see. I’ll refer to it. It’s kind of strange to call it an interview… but thank you.”

Yoon Yi-sun put all the books into her backpack and bowed her head deeply to me.

“work hard.”

“Yes, please be careful.”

I waved my hand to see Yoon Yi-sun off.

after.

I wondered if other heroines would come, but there was none.

“Honey.”

Thanks to that, I was able to look at the books I borrowed without wanting to see them.

A strange sophist.

A man immersed in his own world.

This was Yoon Yi-sun’s conclusion about the man wearing the name tag Do Ji-hwan.

“You know what kind of academy professor you are.”

Professors sometimes do things like that.

Especially those who are absorbed in their studies.

“Maybe he was going to work as a librarian and later work as a professor. He was a very peculiar person.”

He just wanted to hear opinions about mana, but it felt like the story went beyond going to a mountain and crossing dimensions.

Are people like that in the first place?

Or maybe it’s because he’s stuck underground and has no one to talk to, so his sociability is low.

“…something is very sad.”

It was a bit pitiful to see him working and keeping his desk on the weekend, even on Saturday.

but.

“…a contract with the devil.”

What he said was obviously a different point of view, and also an interesting point of view.

what is a hero

“Regardless of appearance and origin, just exert a good influence on others. Well, is that so…?”

I feel like I got a clear answer to why those who study at the academy go to the academy and what kind of hero they should be after graduating from the academy.

“He’s an interesting person.”

Sup.

“And….”

Yoon Yi-sun licked her lips while looking at herself in the mirror.

“Gumihora.”

Yoon Yi-sun’s reflection in the mirror was a gigantic nine-tailed fox with fox ears on her head and nine fox tails behind her buttocks.

but.

“…if I could be like that?”

reality is just-

Took.

Yoon I-sun stepped on two aaa batteries that were rolling on the ground.
