Chapter 1 Small Town Story Party
On the southeast coast of the Parenoa continent, there is a small town called "Origin".
The town is a typical simple fishing village. Although there is nothing particularly worth mentioning in terms of superiority, it is still a rich and peaceful place with its rich local seafood.
And if we talk about the only disadvantage of the town, it is probably only too peaceful.
Located on the edge of the mainland, it is not an important estuary or harbor, and the daily life of the town is almost as monotonous as it is.
Even the most cutting-edge trends in the world itself that have been spread here through traders and traders. Due to the long-term cognitive isolation of the town, when the news spreads here, it almost became boring news that tastes the same, and it could not arouse the interest of the town residents at all.
How does the magic civilization in the mainland prosper? How powerful is the powerful high-level knight? What kind of rapid development does the most cutting-edge alchemy technology have?
The residents of the town obviously don't care.
The only thing they care about is the harvest of going out to sea during the day and... the party in the evening.
...
As the dusk became darker, Yu Bai in the sky slowly subsided.
The top ten people of the town slowly gathered in the worship square in the center of the town.
In the center of the worship square, there is the only Qi lantern in the town.
That thing is a highly developed product of alchemy. It can use liquid "qi" as fuel and brings a light like the sun to the night.
As the crowd sat on the ground in the worship square, a young man with a slender figure finally came from the twilight with everyone's expectations.
The young man was named Su Mu, and he claimed to be a bard.
However, what made Su Mu even more impressive than his identity as a bard is his face that could hardly find any flaws.
Even the men in the town secretly suspected that they were worried... The women in the town, who were as young as thirteen or thirty or forty, came to listen to him telling those unfounded stories every day because of some attribute called "Flower Idiot".
However, this idea was quickly broken.
Because within just a few days, even the men were extremely shocked to find:
This strange and beautiful bard tells the bizarre and eccentricity that he tells is a hundred times more exciting than other traders.
Even the residents of this town have developed the habit of gathering and listening to stories after nightfall.
...
But the story tonight is still a bit special after all.
The young bard named Su Mu did not raise several questions about local customs and cultures as usual at this time, and then used his own stories in exchange.
Under the halo of Qi, he not only did not ask any questions, but his expression was slightly strange and said softly: "Today, I will give you a more special story."
As Su Mu said, he no longer paid attention to the opinions of the residents of the town.
He neither continued his luxurious journey of "Brother Tony Shi" wearing alchemy armor nor started the path of "drum washing machine" to turn into a child's death.
Instead, he told it very willfully, a more bizarre story:
"Once upon a time there was a king who locked up a man named Truman in a city, and used magic to record his every move, and then shared it with everyone outside the city to appreciate it."
Su Mu went straight to the point, no longer had any weird narratives, nor did he add any gorgeous words that people yearn for. He only spoke the movie in his memory in a simple and straightforward way that the world could understand.
"However, everything around a man is fake, and is deliberately arranged by the king. Relatives are fake, friendship is fake, and even his wife did not marry him because of love."
While Su Mu said, he looked up at the sky above his head, as if searching for the so-called "king" gaze, but he finally got nothing.
"However, the man named Truman accidentally discovered the king's arrangement and saw the absurdity in the bones of this city. So he used all his strength to break through the shackles of this city and returned to the seemingly more normal world."
Su Mu said lightly about Truman's successful resistance, but there was still no trace of gratitude in his tone. Instead, there was a more sad mood brewing.
"But he was still crazy after all. After escaping there, Truman would come forward to ask everyone: 'How do you prove that the world you see must be a real world?'. However, no one can answer this question, and everyone dare not even think too deeply."
"So, if I tell you now that everything around you is nothing more than a farce in the mind of some 'king', will you believe what I say?"
...
Su Mu certainly knew that his question could not receive any feedback.
But Su Mu asked this question in the end. He finally gave the most messy question to the bizarre and real things in front of him.
Su Mu, a seventeen-year-old boy, an ordinary student in the second grade of high school, and a middle school boy who has been dreaming of shaping the whole world since he was a child.
Now he is so outrageous that he has entered this world in his mind.
In fact, for more than ten consecutive days, the continuous new stories to the residents of the town were a way for Su Mu to obtain world intelligence and survival materials.
And after this period of summary and summary, Su Mu has now confirmed 100% that this is the world he fantasy.
This is a world where magical civilization and magical martial arts are extremely developed in the medieval context.
And in this world where magical martial arts are prevalent, the core source of all energy is also a mysterious substance called "Qi".
The word "qi" is actually just something Su Mu accidentally heard from his grandfather who had a rich knowledge when he was very young.
Everything is so wanton, and it appears with Su Mu's imagination!
Even the reason why Su Mu's appearance is so perfect is also because in Su Mu's fantasy, he is so shameless and blind narcissistic.
...
However, compared to the trivial matters like appearance, Su Mu cared more about the issue at this time, but it was obviously how he should survive in this world.
It would be a very simple thing to just tell stories in this lonely town, tease the hearts of girls, and then live carefree and innocently shamelessly.
But Su Mu returned from that era of material prosperity.
It is really a life that he can't accept when he eats the salted fish in the drying field forever and then completely turn into a salted fish.
Not to mention, as the creator of this world, Su Mu actually knows more than anyone else... How magnificent and bizarre, and how colorful the whole world outside the town is.
Swords and magic shine, dragons and strange beasts fly everywhere!
How could Su Mu be willing to touch such a shocking and dazzling world? The most real and original throbbing under its gorgeous appearance.
...
So after Su Mu talked about "The World of Truman", he continued without hesitation:
"Today is the last time I share the story with you. I have decided to leave. Don't try to keep me anymore. After all, living without a fixed place is the romance of the bard."
While saying a grand excuse, Su Mu also bowed deeply and said an extremely serious goodbye to the first group of humans he met when he came to this world.
And the residents of the town who heard Su Mu say goodbye were indeed reluctant to leave.
But even they themselves understood that a boy as delicate and mysterious as Su Mu would not stay here forever.
"Will you write the town of origin into your stories?"
There was a ignorant child who finally got some courage and then asked with a sudden whim.
However, when Su Mu heard this, his decisive and stiff expression was stunned and frozen in surprise.
But in a blink of an eye, the solidification became extremely soft again, and finally turned into an inexplicable smile. As the smile outlined, Su Mu also replied softly:
"Of course, this was... the story I wanted to write!"
