Chapter 131 – Volume 27 – Sender Unknown (1)
“OK…”
After the last time I found a way to solve the tattoo curse.
Thanks to the excited request and the spread of rumors, all the people who would be in a dangerous situation were solved.
Now it’s less of a curse and more of something more like keeping it because you want it.
The only thing that bothered me a little was the part about what to do if the sticker with the curse was removed after putting the curse on it.
If so, it could be used as a tool to permanently curse someone by exploiting it.
So, in the case of that part, as a result of the test, it was concluded that it is safe to be relieved.
Even when a curse was already in place, tattoos of the same type did not overlap even if a sticker was placed on top.
And at this time, the existing curse is erased and covered with the curse of the new sticker.
Even without the old sticker, it was possible to erase the curse through the new sticker.
“…It was good up to that point. This is a bit dizzy.”
While reading the final report, I thought it was a bit absurd when I saw the really embarrassing part.
No, these people have come up with a workaround at best.
I don’t think about solving it, but I’m strengthening the curse with a new idea…
For this part, you need to know about ‘Opus’, a rainbow tattoo that combines all the curses of tattoos.
This tattoo sticker was attached and did not appear to be activated even after time passed.
Because even within the work, this tattoo has never been used to accept a curse instead of putting it on.
But let me find a way to erase the curse using the settings in the work.
Conversely, people have found ways to activate this opus through similar concepts.
“The idea is a bit genius…”
First of all, as I said earlier, the same type of tattoo does not overlap even if you apply it multiple times.
However, tattoos of different types could be overlapped separately.
After all the tattoos are superimposed using it, Opus stickers are attached.
Then all the existing tattoos become one and change into the form of Opus.
It becomes possible to forcibly activate opus that could not be activated until now.
Is it because the difficulty of making this is difficult, or is it because it can relieve more curses from Albedo?
It was so frightening because it was so trendy.
‘Even in the effect, not only all curses are triggered, but also some enhancement.’
Maybe it’s because Albedo, who uses the Opus tattoo, has stronger magical power than the existing tattoos.
Or maybe it’s because the meaning of Albedo is so strong that Opus’s tattoo is enough to dedicate oneself to.
I don’t know the exact reason, but it is said that the strength of the curse becomes a little stronger the moment you get a tattoo of Opus.
Then, it must be a little difficult in everyday life, but he is excited about making it.
I really can’t understand every time something like this happens.
Still, since they chose to do it, there was not much controversy.
“I don’t know. Well, from here on out, it’s probably out of my hands…”
For me, the most important thing is to come up with ideas for a follow-up and present them in a fun way.
It was not my job to point out the fandom culture that naturally formed like that.
If you have time for that, you should set up or write a sequel.
“Hmm? Carly, is this the new drawing you’re drawing this time?”
“No, I’m just trying to make some settings. Well, if something I like comes out, I’ll use it.”
In the case of this new work, I was very worried about what concept to adopt.
Since the series of elves dreaming of having an affair with an orc has come to an end, I’m thinking about releasing a new work that focuses on romance.
Ordinary things are not fun, so I was thinking hard about ideas.
“…Orca, we’ve talked about that before, haven’t we?”
You don’t have to walk in one direction to see the work.
It is also possible to see it by walking back to the past.
“Yes! Being able to go back to the happy days is quite a happy thing.”
“…Wouldn’t it be nice to show the feeling of going back for real?”
“Yes?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Among the genres popular in modern times, there is something called ‘regression’.
A genre in which the protagonist gets the chance to go back to the past at some point and make a different choice.
For those who experience many regrets in their lives, it has the power to provide fulfillment in many ways.
However, this is not a good topic to deal with the serious atmosphere in a love story.
‘How about a story about a heroine facing death and the heroine repeating time to save the heroine?’
This is a genre that is more correct to call a loop than a regression.
Simply put, there are games with multiple endings.
It’s like playing a game over and over again to see the ending you want in that game.
If this is the case, when dating is the focus, the part of saving the person you love can make you feel quite emotional.
‘Okay, this is pretty good…’
It is a material that is easy to melt into this world view, but it is also a genre that definitely attracts people.
But I do feel that something is lacking.
Of course, these works are attractive enough, but I kept thinking about whether there would be a better choice.
“Uh?”
And at the end of that thought, a good idea flashed.
In this world now, there was one method available.
First of all, everyone in this world is serious about the work, and had no hesitation in participating in the work.
Therefore, even if you endure a little discomfort, everyone can happily accept it as long as there is fun from it.
And since the publishing system has naturally developed into a book system, there are many cases where books are basically sold as single volumes.
There is no need to be bound by the yoke of the serialization system like the modern comics world.
‘If you look at these points, isn’t it possible to actually implement a game?’
In the old days, there was a kind of novel or comic called a game book.
Of course, I think I’ve heard that a game book that works in conjunction with a smartphone app is coming out.
Anyway, the fad itself was an old genre that had already been turned off a long time ago.
Simply put, a game book is a book that is made to be enjoyed as if it were a game.
It is a book in the form of a story in which there are choices and the development of the story changes by moving to the page that matches the choice.
It would be the easiest expression to understand if you look at it as an unrecited poem made into a book.
To the extent that I compared the loop water to a game.
In the case of a game like Miyeonsi, you can always start over from the beginning and use your previous experience to make other choices.
In other words, it is possible to really go back in time and change the ending.
A game book is the implementation of such a game in the form of a book.
If the current system is enough, I can make a game book, right?
If the story I want to tell is a loop, wouldn’t it be okay to actually make the reader participate in the loop?
‘Of course, this is a tiring method to use often.’
Because the reader has to read the same content multiple times.
It is a system that becomes a double-edged sword, as the more you spin the loop, the more likely you will feel the loose feeling.
However, people in this world now are more immersed in games than anyone else and are ready to truly enjoy them.
If so, even such a loose sense can be used as an element to immerse yourself in the main character trying to save the heroine through a loop.
It was an ending reached through things I came up with by accident.
I will have to think more about whether it will actually be a good work.
The idea of a game book itself seemed good to use in this new work.
‘A journey to find the only ending that can save the heroine whose death is decided.’
If that journey is embodied in a book so that everyone can enjoy it.
I thought it could be quite fun for everyone who is not familiar with this format.
However, there was one problem that immediately came to mind, and that was that the amount that could be given per route was very small.
“Hmm…”
In general, in the case of non-yeonsi, there are so many branches and stories for each heroine.
It contains a story that is long enough to say that the amount of text is ignorant.
If I were to draw this as a cartoon, it would be too much to express in a single book, to be honest.
“Ah?”
At least, as I did in the Witch Academy, if the length of a single volume is set very long, I think there is some possibility.
Of course, even if you do this, you won’t have enough energy to show various heroines like a typical miyeonsi.
I’d be busy telling the story of just one heroine.
‘But it’s okay to compromise on this part.’
The reason I came up with this method in the first place is for the story of the main character saving a heroine facing death.
If you put a single heroine and express the lovely love of the two and the thorny path to save the heroine well.
I thought I could narrowly match the amount.
“Then, the basic outline should be like this.”
Of course, how can I see the work more immersively in detail?
You also need to think about how to plan the route so that it can proceed neatly and economically.
Even though I have a history of supplying illustrations for Miyeon City, I have never composed Miyeon City myself.
Even though I’ve played text adventure games, including Miyeonsi.
It is not a generation that has actually experienced the game book that I have to make now.
No matter how similar it is, since it’s a different platform, you have to consider the difference in how it comes to implementation, right?
Then you will definitely need time to research on this part.
‘It’s difficult because there are a lot of things to study, and the descriptions that need to be taken care of for each route are increasing.’
Actually, wouldn’t that be fun?
To be honest, I would go through hardships, but to give someone a new experience through that hardship.
Because it’s more fun than you think.
