Chapter 16 – The Serialization Begins!
Ride on! Tadadak!
More diverse sentences came to mind than usual, and the narrative was organized. Even the fingers tapping on the keyboard seemed to be twice as fast as usual.
‘Let’s start with the plot and publish it serially. Since the rough plot and settings have already been decided, I will refine this further….’
『Blessing of Concentration』 Not only increases concentration, but also enhances thinking ability.
A blessing that couldn’t be better for the creator.
Seo Joo-hwan’s thinking was active like never before, filling in the gaps in the setting and drawing out the variety of sentences.
‘Isn’t this the part that readers raised a problem the other day? If I change it like this… Done. It’s more natural now.’
The article Seo Ju-hwan is currently writing is a work that he has been serializing in the pre-reversion world.
The title is ‘Master of Ice is a Moorim achievement’.
‘Master of the Ice’ was the work that achieved the best result among the writings he wrote. However, due to his death, it was also the only article that could not be completed among the serial works. He wanted to complete this article even in this lifetime.
It was a responsibility as a writer.
‘It’s a work that hasn’t been serialized yet, so no one knows….’
Even so, responsibility does not disappear. In any case, even in this post-reversion world, there were readers who read his writings. They may not remember this article, but if they are meant to be, they will surely enjoy reading it again.
Seo Ju-hwan forgot his time and immersed himself in writing.

Tring!

[The concentrating blessing effect disappears.]
“Ah…!”
Did you say that when you concentrate at a high level, you fall into a kind of trance state?
At the same time as the blessing effect disappeared, Seo Ju-hwan felt awakened from a dream.
Shiver.
“Huh, huh. What kind of sweat…”
He was just writing, and sweat dripped down his cheeks as if he had been through an intense workout.
“It consumes a lot of stamina.”
It was just a blessing I used to focus more, but unexpectedly, it consumed a lot of stamina. He felt tired from exercising, not from writing.
After wiping away the sweat, Seo Joo-hwan checked what he had written for 4 hours.
“How much did you spend?”
Originally, whenever he writes an episode, he saves it and opens a new page. But this time, he had no idea how many pieces he had written because he had written all the way without even doing such intermediate work.
Normally he would have written about 16 pages in four hours. Even that is when it is assumed that the plot is in place. Usually, the time it took him to complete a piece was about six hours in total, including editing.
“… Page 34?”
Seo Joo-hwan let out a surprised voice.
“Haha….”
A bewildered laugh escaped from his mouth.
In the Hangul program, the font size of 10.5pt is taken as a standard, and 34 pages is the equivalent of two books. It was not the minimum number of characters, but the amount of so-called ‘Hyeja’.
“The effect is amazing.”
He thought the fatigue was too great, but the effect was so great that it was beyond imagination.
2 episodes in 4 hours. I can write one episode in 2 hours!
Even considering that there was already a rough setting and plot, the speed was amazing.
‘I didn’t lose sight of it once in the middle.’
Originally, there is a limit to human concentration, so it is inevitable to do something else in the middle.
However, this time he used 『Blessing of Concentration』, And thanks to the effect of the blessing, he was able to spend all 4 pure hours writing. That’s why these results came out.
‘If used properly, it will be of great help to the series.’
It’s not just serialization. It was a blessing that was so versatile that it could be useful in all daily tasks.
However, in order to use it properly, considerable physical strength and LP must be supported. In the case of LPs in particular, I was worried that I would run out of blessings while using them like water.
Then Lucy told me not to worry.
[There are many ways to obtain LP. Basically, the desire system is made for the convenience of users, so it is possible to acquire enough LP with a little effort.]
“Hmm. Okay? Well, I gave points just for trying to lose weight. Will you give it to me again when you get overweight?”
[Sorry. I can’t answer that.]
“Sheesh.”
It was Seo Ju-hwan who clicked his tongue in regret.

Seo Joo-hwan’s day on vacation was monotonous.
In the morning, I go to the gym on an empty stomach to get Petey, and at lunchtime, I go to a snack bar to eat. Afterwards, he returns home and writes for a serial.
Such a repetitive ordinary daily life was very enjoyable for him.
Was it surprising that Seo Joo-hwan, who was always single? Han Soo-ah looked at him and said.
“Hwan’s older brother.”
“Yes?”
“Brother, are you in a good mood these days?”
“Yes? Why?”
“Your face looks so good. I think I’m looking at my older brother.”
“The old me?”
“Yes! When we were little!”
Han Soo-ah nodded fiercely.
Seo Joo-hwan laughed in vain even though he agreed with that. It was because it was very unnatural for Han Soo-ah to use the word kid.
“Are you still a kid?”
“… You’re talking about when you were a kid, not now.”
“At 149 cm, I’m still a kid….”
“Woo! Really! Will you?”
“Puhaha. Sorry.”
Seo Joo-hwan burst into laughter and apologized to Han Soo-ah. Anyway, the reaction was bouncy, so there was a taste of teasing.
The angry Han Soo-ah looked at the giggling Seo Joo-hwan with a strange gaze.
‘As expected, something has changed.’
I could be sure of this with the honor of my 19-year-old childhood friend. Seo Ju-hwan, who came out on vacation, was obviously different. This could be seen from the way he treated himself and Ju-hee. Little by little glimpses of his older brother, playful and lively, were revealed.
Did something good happen to make the shadowy face bright again?
At that moment, Han Soo-ah flashed an idea. She said, widening her characteristic puppy-like eyes.
“Hwani oppa, do you have a girlfriend?”
“Eh?”
“I have a girlfriend! Is that why you feel so good? Aunt Ara! Hwan says he has a girlfriend!”
“What? Really, son?!”
“My mother’s son got a girlfriend?”
I wanted to ask a question, but it was Han Soo-ah who spoke prematurely without hearing an answer. Seo Ae-ra, who was serving him, is surprised, and Seo Ju-hee, who has just entered the snack bar, gives a shout. His father Seo Jae-pil was looking behind him holding a knife. It was only natural that the attention of the customers inside the restaurant was focused.
Seo Joo-hwan was so flustered that he couldn’t say anything and just shook his head. It was only then that the atmosphere calmed down as he shouted rave reviews to the point of fearing that his neck might be broken.
After a while.
“Hey.”
Han Soo-ah, who was having a good night, grabbed her aching head.
“It hurts… Didn’t you have a girlfriend?”
“No, boy. What’s your girlfriend She hasn’t even been discharged yet, so how do you get a girlfriend?”
“Hmm. So what? What is Hwan-i oppa so happy about?”
Han Soo-ah glared at her again, as if telling her to speak softly.
Even so, he was not afraid at all because he had naturally docile eyes, but Seo Joo-hwan decided to match the rhythm appropriately.
“Of course it feels good when a soldier is on vacation.”
“Is that all?”
“What more do you need? Well. Maybe it’s because I’ve been working out lately. I’ve been getting Pete for a week now. Can’t you see that you’ve lost weight?”
“Well what… Are you sure you missed a lot? To be honest, oppa is a bit handsome.”
“Oh, am I handsome?”
“Slightly! Even in my eyes only!”
“… Hey, ok Why is that? Get hurt.”
“Hi-Hi. I told you in advance that my brother would be criticized if he went around pretending to be handsome.”
“Thank you….”
The two are talking amicably.
Seo Joo-hee, who was watching this scene with fluke eyes, shook her head.
‘I can’t see it, really.’
A handsome horn.
Hansoo is saying that.
Whether she lost weight or gained muscle, Seo Joo-hwan was just ‘my mother’s son’ to her.
‘Of course, it’s true that her face has brightened.’
The shadow lifted from her dark face her. That alone certainly looked good from her brother’s point of view.
At that time, Seo Joo-hwan’s fork flew in and cut the egg on the plate.
“If you don’t eat, I will eat?”
The egg I had been saving for the last time disappeared into my brother’s mouth.
Seo Joo-hee opened her ax eye and raised the fork she was holding tightly.
“Hey! Shall I shade your face again?”
“Hee!”
“Juhee is scared!”
It was the law to touch the dog while eating, but not to touch the sister.

In the evening, the family gathered together and watched TV.
“Come to think of it, son, what are you going to do with college?”
“Yes?”
“Are you going to go back to school?”
Hearing that, Seo Joo-hwan realized that he was taking a leave of absence. Returning to school was a question he had completely forgotten about, so he answered vaguely.
“Uh… I want to think about it.”
“So? Mom, I wish I could go back to school before it’s too late. She’s still in first grade, would n’t it be hard if it was later?”
“Haha….”
When Seo Joo-hwan was 20 years old, he took a leave of absence at the same time as he entered school because he wanted to write.
That’s how he writes for a year before enlisting in the military.
‘Should I go back to school?’
Currently, he is twenty-three.
Considering that it is a freshman year, it is quite late even if I go back to school right away.
‘What do we do?’
In fact, if you think about money, you don’t have to go to college. Because the Bitcoin I invested in was still rising smoothly.
But why is it that I am not determined to drop out?
‘Let’s go into the room and think about it.’
Seo Joo-hwan said he would wake up first and entered the room. At that, Seo Ae-ra was embarrassed that she had said something useless.
The door closed, and Seo Jae-pil, who had been silent, spoke in a low tone.
“Whatever you say, support me. You have to do what you want to do.”
“… Still, shouldn’t I go to college to make ends meet?”
This must be her mother’s concern for her son her. Who can say anything about this?
However, Jaepil Seo firmly shook his head.
“Look at how Joo-hwan’s face brightened his face.”
“It definitely got brighter. You don’t know how lucky I am. But why suddenly?”
“The soldier is writing even after he is on vacation. That’s why he likes to write. He should live doing what he wants to do.”
“Oh. Really?”
“Okay.”
“By the way, didn’t you object to Joo-hwan writing?”
“That’s it… He did it because he thought he was running away.”
When Seo Joo-hwan took a leave of absence to write, Seo Jae-pil was angry. It was because he thought he was shutting himself in his room using the novel as an excuse. Of course, contrary to his thoughts, Seo Ju-hwan took on the challenge of publishing a web novel, but on the other hand, it was also true that he was afraid of forming interpersonal relationships.
However, the current Seo Joo-hwan was different from then. Seo Jae-pil felt that fact. He said, recalling what happened two days ago.
“The other day, I went into the room to talk about it, but he didn’t even know I had entered and he was concentrating on writing. I was sorry to disturb you, so I just came out.”
Seo Jae-pil was shocked to see his son that day. His son his, who suffered a lot of bad luck while growing up, has a strong tendency to avoid problems. He was taking on the challenge with the momentum that his son was dying.
It was actually because of the blessing of concentration, but Seo Jae-pil, who misunderstood it, was determined to give unconditional support to his son.
Was she persuaded by her husband’s firm words of her? Soon, even Seo-ae nodded as if he couldn’t help it.
“I see. What can I do when you say that?”
“Don’t worry too much. These days, even if you don’t go to college, you eat everything. Times have changed from our time. And if it doesn’t work out later, you can tell them to take over the snack bar.”
“Ho Ho. Joo-hwan should know what you think.”
“Hmm. Don’t talk nonsense.”
Seo Jae-pil clears his throat as if he is embarrassed.
Seo Ju-hee, who had been quietly listening to the conversation, spoke.
“Dad, then shouldn’t I go to college too? I’ll do the snack bar.”
Upon hearing those words, Seo Ae-ra’s eyebrows rose to the sky.
Before Seo Jae-pil could say anything, a bad command fell from her mouth her.
“This twin labor base. Stop talking nonsense and go to your room and study!”
“Ah, why does Mom always have only me?”
“What kind of snack bar is Gi-bae, who can’t even cook instant ramen, running?”
“Tooth. Mom can’t cook either. Does Dad cook or does Mom cook?”
“No, this year? Don’t go to that concert you’re going to see the day after tomorrow. Give me back the price of the ticket!”
“Eek?! What is it! Too bad! Stupid mom! Dad, help!”
Jaepil Seo cleared his throat once again and turned his gaze to the TV. She was a loving daughter, but she feared her wife her more… No, because she was lovely.
