A book that had a tremendous impact on the world, Xenon’s Biography.

    At first glance, it may seem like a typical hero’s story, but the tale it holds is very profound. It portrays demons, usually treated as devils, as unfortunate beings and depicts fragments from the light and dark sides of nobles.

    Until now, when it comes to novels, there have been only books with convoluted sentences and overwhelmingly complex words. However, Xenon’s Biography takes a completely different approach. Sentences and descriptions that seem to play out in one’s mind, leaving behind memorable scenes and messages that linger.

    Above all, it was enjoyable. It tells the story of a commoner who lived an ordinary life but encountered a ‘Strange Fate’ and developed his talents, ultimately becoming a hero who saves the world. In addition, there are charming female leads and supporting characters.

    (TL note: strange fate is something like falling off a cliff and finding an elixir or a neighbourhood old grandpa turns out to be a swordmaster and trains the protagonist.)

    As such, Xenon’s Biography has established itself as a popular book that is easy for commoners to read and enjoy by people of all ages, genders, and races.

    Furthermore, readers are curious about the next installment of Xenon’s Biography.

    Who is the author of Xenon’s Biography? Who can write a book like this?

    Many critics have offered various opinions, but the most credible hypothesis is that the author is an elderly sage. The hypothesis that the author is an explorer who has traveled around the world in the past and gained various experiences has been particularly emphasized.

    Teenagers who still should be cared for by parents and 20-year-olds who have just entered society were naturally excluded. This is because Xenon’s Biography had too many scenes that could only be written with abundant experiences.

    At least, unless you lived in another world.

    "...why are you asking that?"Isaac, red-haired and with half-open eyes, asked Cecily in a shaky voice. The golden eyes that shone like amber, had dimmed and his voice, which had been blunt, was now weak.

    His face turned red like his hair, which anyone could tell he was drunk. It was a completely different appearance from his usual self.

    ‘How cute.’

    While thinking that it was cute, Cecily recalled her usual suspicions at the circumstances. First of all, the callus of the middle finger, or pen-hook, that Rina mentioned.

    Like the calluses on the palm of a knight who had held a sword for a long time, the callus on his middle finger was a mark that could only be obtained by holding a pen for a long time. It was not just a month or two, but a callus so severe that it had to be at least years.

    Of course, Isaac, who had a habit of taking notes, could have calluses. Besides, he had said that he liked studying, so it could be overlooked up to this point.

    The second was Isaac’s attitude towards Xenon’s Biography, which he usually dismissed. He certainly liked the story of Zennon like other people, but he wasn’t as enthusiastic about it like others. It was just his hobby to read.

    However, considering his previous attitude and the story she secretly overheard from Jackson earlier, he seemed to be seeing through the Xenons’ story. If he knew the story this much, it would mean he was passionate about it, but Isaac was strangely indifferent.

    Lastly, it was about the identity of the demons that Isaac mentioned last time.

    ‘It’s similar to what Xenon said to Jin. Is this really a coincidence?’

    Isaac also turned his gaze in the direction she indicated and soon shuffled his steps there. He held a wine glass in one hand, which looked a little funny, but her concern outweighed it.

    Although she walked with him in case he stumbled, she was still very uneasy. He seemed to be walking like a newborn penguin following its parents.

    "The alcohol... is... quite... delicious... hehe."Now he’s even giggling. As she watched Isaac laugh, Cecily couldn’t help but make a fresh expression.

    Isaac, who is usually taciturn and only occasionally shows a change in expression when joking around, but he rarely laughs. Even when he does smile, it’s usually just a smirk and he never laughed foolishly like he is now.

    ‘He’s even cuter when he smiles.’

    The more I look, the more he looks like a baby penguin. Even though his build is not that small, it feels small, and his distinctive features also feel cute. It might be because he is much younger than me.

    Still, it seems that excessive drinking should be banned in the future. He would become a laughing stock due to a rumor of him drinking too much at this gathering, which wouldn’t be good for Isaac either.

    "Take a rest here until you''re sober. Got it?""Yes...”"By the way Isaac, writing isn’t really your hobby, right?"Cecily asked a question, subtly changing the word “hobby”. She was hoping that Isaac, who was not in his right mind because of alcohol, would give as much evidence as possible.

    Isaac stared at Cecily at the question and smiled broadly. Then answered brightly.

    "I don''t know about that..."“...”Cecily let out a faint smile as she watched Isaac brightly respond like a child.

    Although normally he appeared mature, now he looked like a child.They say that when people get drunk, their true nature is revealed. Is this Isaac’s true nature? It is truly a desirable nature.

    Cecily put her hand on Isaac’s head and spoke kindly. It was the moment when her characteristic playfulness kicked in.

    "Okay. Since Noona is going, you stay here quietly. Isaac is a good boy, so he will listen to older sister, right?""Yes...""Yes. Yes. Isaac is a good boy after all."He gently stroked the hand that was placed on his head. Whether she had taken care of it separately or not, but it felt soft.

    As Cecily continued to stroke his head, Isaac giggled and wobbled like before. It was evident that he was feeling good.

    "Okay then, I''ll go now. You have to stay here just like Noona said, okay?""Yes!"Cecily left behind Isaac’s enthusiastic response and moved on. Even as she walked, she didn’t forget to check on Isaac, just in case.

    Isaac was moving back and forth like an Ottogi doll with his back straight. Cecily felt a little anxious when she saw it, but she moved on, thinking It should be okay.

    Less than three minutes after Cecily began talking to others.

    “Huu...”Isaac’s eyes slowly closed and eventually he fell asleep.

    Translators note:

    Hello!

    I’m Ghostre the TL here! After seeing How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World not being picked up despite being this good I decided to give it a shot. I’m doing an edited MTL with help from chatGPT and currently striving to reach the quality the previous TL’er managed to achieve. It may not be the best but I will try to at least make it enjoyable and not painful to read.

    For now I’m uploading this chapter to see if NU bot finds this and to get your opinion on quality of this translation, so let me know what you think about it.
