Chapter 56 (1/2)

Chapter 56

“Phew, I’m alive!”

Jaegun sighed.

He was about to die of exhaustion. He had just recovered his strength by drinking from Se Gunwoo’s mug.

“Now I have 150 chapters of the Breathe. Let’s rest and write 25 chapters more to 175.”

Jaegun lied down on the bed. Rika went on top of him. She started to lick Jaegun with her tongue.

“I’ll have to call him and say I’m gonna release 5 chapters per day.”

Jaegun asked as he shook Rika.

He had enough. Because of Se Gunwoo’s notebook, his speed was still fast and there was no problem if he released 5 per day.

“I’ll end it about 400 chapters. About 15 books per paper book. That’s good, right? The Representative should like it too?”

Beep!

“Ah, Representative?”

Jaegun pulled his phone to his face. A message came. It wasn’t Tewon. A name called Kang Minho popped up on the screen,

“Kang Minho? Ah, Writer Kang?”

Jaegun thought of the writer that he met during the writer’s meeting. It was that person that he sat next to. The politeness of the writer who took care of him was the first thing that came up to his mind.

“What is it?”

He gave out phone numbers with Minho and a couple of other writers. But till now, there was no contact between each other. Jaegun pulled up the message on the screen with curious eyes.

h.e.l.lo Writer Ha, it’s Kang Minho. I congratulate you for the 1st place on the Breathe. I’m really into it as well. It’s giving me some good studying. I hope you write more like this.

It was a polite reply like the person that he was.

Jaegun replied back smiling.

Yes, Writer Kang, Thank you for the contact. I’m glad you’re enjoying it. How are you?

Jaegun didn’t mention writing and asked a common question.

Every writer was different. He might be struggling to write because of some issues.

Minho replied soon.

I’m sort of ok. I got an office with a few of my writer friends. I’ve been writing fantasy but it’s not going very well. I feel like I’m trying too hard to write like the popular novels. And I’m been struggling for half a year.

He could imagine Minho’s face being sad.

Jaegun knew how bad it was when writing wasn’t going well. Minho was probably struggling from stress every day.

Jaegun wanted to help somewhat.

He gave a reply to Minho after a thought

I’ll so could you send it to me by email?

Ah really? Aren’t you busy? I’ll be honored.

It’s fine. I’ll give it back soon.

Yes, Writer. I hope you can give me good feedback.

Jaegun went outside to get some ramen.

He was starving because he didn’t eat anything. Minho’s message came when the ramen was readying to be eaten.

I’ve sent it. Thank you. I’ll be waiting.

Jaegun went to his phone.

Minho’s fantasy draft was on the first page.

The King Fallen on Earth

“Hm, the t.i.tle…”

Jaegun clicked on it.

It was about 13,000 characters, good for a book.

Jaegun brought Se Gunwoo’s gla.s.ses to read faster.

“Hm, it’s fusion again.”

The character was a king that was mighty in his fantasy world.

And then a knight came and cast a spell on him and the king got pushed out of his world. His arriving place was none other than modern Korea.

‘Isn’t it the same flow as the previous series that Writer Kang wrote? Hm…’

Jaegun read quickly.

In the middle, Jaegun started to wrinkle his face.

‘This is a serious issue!’

There was no problem with the plot. It was common and safe as well.

But the problem was….

It was boring.

It was so boring that it almost make him sleep.

There were too many extra details and the plot lacked realism.

It didn’t make him want to read more.

If it wasn’t for Minho, he would have thrown it away a long time ago.

“Ah, ramen…!”

He had completely forgotten.
