The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 14:

Chapter 14

“Wait a minute. Is that really okay?”

Kang Hye-rim had gained a lot of confidence, but she still asked me with some doubt.

Well, I knew what she was worried about. It was not just a matter of having strong and numerous fantasy creatures.

‘The unspoken rule among collectors.’

Originally, it was possible to remove the world of ideas from reality through clearing.

If left alone, the fantasy creatures could multiply abnormally and break out into reality.

In fact, when the Earth first entered the hybrid system and the world of ideas was created, the world was quite chaotic.

But as time passed, the collectors gained power and settled down, and the purpose of the world of ideas changed.

‘It became a place to farm points and stories.’

When one world of ideas was cleared, a new world of ideas appeared in a random place with a random story.

And for the new world of ideas, you couldn’t tell what kind of story it contained unless you experienced it yourself.

To check that, you had to send someone in, but who would dare to go in without knowing what kind of danger there was?

‘So the argument came out that we should not clear the existing world of ideas on purpose and keep them as they are.’

For that reason, most of the worlds of ideas had a boundary line that said stop here, like this Kobold mine.

From a rational and moral point of view, it might have been right.

‘But that was just a nice excuse.’

The stories that the Earth showed in the beginning were full of adventure and romance.

But now, the Earth’s collectors were just repeating the same thing over and over.

Farming, farming, endless farming.

‘That’s rational and safe.’

There was no need to risk their lives for clearing the world of ideas, and they only had to hunt the fantasy creatures they had always hunted.

They still got points for doing that.

They probably didn’t think that their complacent actions would become boomerangs and come back to them.

‘I didn’t know it then, but I know it now.’

The Earth was a high-rated area with a lot of stories buried in it at first.

But not now.

The Earth’s collectors pursued only safety, and the fun stories that would attract the attention of the spirits disappeared naturally.

Their interest also decreased accordingly.

‘That’s how five years passed and the end came.’

The second process for the Earth to fully join the hybrid system.

Phase Apocalypse.

The role of the end here was one thing.

To squeeze out as much as possible from the people on Earth and extract stories from them.

They had to do their best to survive while remembering the comfortable days they had lived.

Naturally, this resulted in an increase in the diversity and quality of stories.

They didn’t even consider how many people would die for that.

That’s how they lived like experimental rats under the name of trials for 10 years.

‘I know the end of this world.’

I have seen and experienced a total of 15 years combining five years before the end and 10 years after the end.

How many people have fallen away and how many stars have laughed at them.

But I didn’t want to die either, and I ran forward without looking back to survive.

‘I am…’

I know why the Earth became such a miserable end.

So I couldn’t just sit still.

‘This world must change. Not by the intervention of outsiders, but by their own strength.’

It wasn’t for a simple justice.

It was purely because of my desire, and that’s why I wanted to do my best.

To do that, I needed to break this fixed frame first.

“I will proceed with clearing the world of ideas.”

“Are you sure… you’ll be okay?”

“Okay or not okay, what’s the problem? You can just say that I forced you as a teller. And collectors can’t hold me responsible. What can they do? I told you to do it.”

Of course, there was no guarantee that other tellers behind those collectors would stay still either.

I deliberately didn’t mention that part to reassure Kang Hye-rim.

She nodded her head at my words and said okay.

“Actually, I wasn’t very happy about stopping here either.”

Kang Hye-rim must have felt one of the greatest liberations in her life.

She had fully opened up her hidden trait and accepted it, so she actually welcomed this situation more than anyone else.

“The spirits seem to want it too.”

[Most spirits nod their heads in agreement with your words.]

The spirits responded with an indirect message saying yes to my words.

They were also sorry for that.

They were just enjoying it properly, but Kang Hye-rim might back off like other collectors at the boundary line.

But when we said we would continue, they raised both hands and cheered.

The spirits were thirsty for interesting stories.

‘I can’t miss this opportunity.’

The number of viewers had increased to 13 in no time.

“Come on, spirits. Let’s cheer for our collector Kang Hye-rim! It would be a shame to stop here, right?”

I said it in a roundabout way, but it was obvious what I meant.

I shouted shamelessly knowing that.

The spirits quickly donated points without hesitation because they didn’t want the fun story to end.

[You received 100TP as a donation.]

[You received 400TP as a donation.]

[You received 200TP as a donation.]

Small donations came in in an instant.

Some of them went to Kang Hye-rim, and some of them came to me.

Kang Hye-rim was stunned by the messages that flew to her.

Well, she probably never earned such a huge amount of points before.

“What are you doing? You have to go.”

When I tapped her shoulder and said that, she came to her senses.

She blushed slightly and nodded her head.

“Yes. I’ll do that.”

“Don’t hesitate. Go wild as you wish.”

“Yes!”

Kang Hye-rim proceeded with clearing the world of ideas.

She had no more hesitation.

She crossed the boundary line without hesitation and entered the depths of the mine.

The spirits cheered at her sight.

I also nodded my head with satisfaction.

Crossing the boundary line meant that she would not be swayed by the given situation.

A protagonist had to keep going forward for their goal.

That was the story of a hero.

‘Now, it’s time to slowly.’

I decided to start my own work.

The new viewers were not used to the hot atmosphere of this library. I smiled and began to explain the situation to them.

***

“Huh? What is this?”

Tau Dan, a teller of the Celestial Corporation.

He looked like a mix of human and reptile.

He was one of the tellers assigned to the Earth’s viewing room.

He had nothing to do today, so he searched for various information through the Genesis Network.

He narrowed his eyes when he saw a new library rising on the Earth’s library list.

“A new library has appeared?”

It was not surprising that a new library appeared.

The new batch had arrived, so it was natural that they would create libraries.

But most libraries failed to present proper stories and closed down, being absorbed by other tellers.

What surprised Tau Dan was that the newly created library was growing at a frightening speed.

“What? The library has 15 viewers in less than 3 hours? Is that possible?”

Usually, when a library was first opened, there were only one or two viewers.

It was hard to maintain them, and it was hopeless if the viewers were indifferent.

If they showed some interesting content while enduring, they could gather that many viewers in about a month.

But, 3 hours?

Even if a certain department pushed them hard, it was not easy to achieve that.

“Who is this teller named Kang Yu-hyun? Have I ever heard of him?”

He couldn’t remember the name no matter how hard he tried.

And considering that today was the first day of opening this library…

‘Is he a newbie who just became a regular employee?’

Tau Dan couldn’t believe it.

He couldn’t accept the fact that a rookie who just started viewing had gathered so many spirits.

How much effort did he put in to achieve such a size of library?

‘I have to check it out.’

Maybe he used some trick?

Tau Dan entered Kang Yu-hyun’s library as a teller to verify it.

And the first thing Tau Dan saw was a woman who was sweeping through a horde of kobolds with great momentum.

‘What? Who is that collector?’

She wore a poorly fitted tracksuit.

She had no armor to protect her body, and the sword in her hand was an ordinary weapon given to collectors as a basic item.

She looked no different from a low-class collector who couldn’t find a teller to contract with.

But.

‘How is she so strong?’

He had seen various collectors as he climbed up to the position of an agent.

He had seen those who had abilities or talents, and he had also referred to how collectors from other libraries fought.

At least Tau Dan thought he had enough insight to recognize the approximate skills of collectors.

And what he felt about Kang Hye-rim was that she was unbelievably strong.

‘And she’s getting stronger.’

It looked more like she was regaining her original power than gaining new power.

Kang Hye-rim went deeper into the mine without hesitation.

The kobold illusions that blocked her way were now scared and ran away from her presence.

‘But how far is she going?’

Tau Dan realized that Kang Hye-rim had crossed the boundary line and was deep inside the mine.

“She crossed the boundary line? Is she crazy?”

It was a well-known fact that Earth’s collectors maintained the boundary line.

And he also knew that it was a kind of taboo that should never be broken.

‘But she did such a crazy thing?’

It was unlikely that a collector would do such a thing on their own.

That meant that the teller who contracted with her did something.

‘What did he do?’

Tau Dan couldn’t understand it.

Collectors were also humans who belonged to society.

They couldn’t do something that violated the established rules.

But, the spirits were ecstatic about what he thought was ‘crazy’.

Tau Dan realized that something was going wrong.

‘The flow is… growing.’

The Earth’s library list.

It was a list that ranked libraries according to the number of viewers or subscribers, but a blue wave began to rise from the bottom of the list.

And as always, the spirits who couldn’t leave Earth and were looking for something fun noticed this change.

‘This is crazy, crazy.’

It was one thing to discover a collector with outstanding talent, but he also broke the rules set by collectors with ease.

‘It’s definitely crazy.’

But there were many spirits who were thirsty for that madness.

Some heard the news and came.

Some visited out of curiosity.

Even now, more spirits were joining Kang Yu-hyun’s library in real time.

Soon, the number of viewers reached twenty.

And at that moment, a title was engraved on the nameless library.

[The Sword Queen Chronicles]

It was the moment when the first hero story that Kang Yu-hyun wanted to show was decided.
