Book 29 Chapter 14
A roundtable discussion with Ryu-yeon Bi and her crew
Jang Hong: It was… long…….
Namgungsang: That was really…… long.
Motif: That was a long one.
Bi Ryuyeon: Hey, it's been a while, how have you been?
Jang Hong: Sure.
Motto: Not much…….
Namgungsang: I have so little to do this time, all I can do is laugh…….
Jang Hong: Hahahahahahaha! This volume is for me! What an achievement after so many volumes! I've been getting cold stares lately, being called the source of uncle's jokes, but I've finally gotten my due! I've been hiding behind a veil for so long, and my fancy skills are finally on display. It's been a long time coming, even if it's just to hide and conceal them.
Biyou: Oh, that "Made in Japan" martial art? Or "Kamikakushi sake" or something? Why don't you just add a "nin! nin!" to the end of it?
Jang Hong: What! Are you dismissing it as foreign? I may have studied abroad for a long time and learned the art of ninjutsu there, but Shinjutsu is a fully domesticated martial art. Nin! Nin! It's all about the creative spirit of learning from your opponent's organs and combining them with your own knowledge to create new techniques.
Ryu-yeon Bi: Then change the name to something localized.
Jang Hong: It's about respecting the original technology. Do you think I'm the kind of person who uses foreign words at random in real life?
Bi Ryuyeon: (without hesitation) Yes. It's you, isn't it?
Jang Hong: That's wrong! If that's the case, then the Tianxiu Yuga Divine Kingdom is also a foreign martial kingdom!
Biyou: (in the courtier's ear) Didn't you say "rubber dara" when you saw the rubber basin last time? Then you said "shimekiri" when you found the nail clippers.
Namgungsang: (nodding) Yeah, I think I heard that, too.
Jang Hong: No way! At least the nail clippers are called "tsumekiri"! "Shimekiri" means finish. Oh, no!
Writer M: (hiding in the corner with a dark face) Ma-ga-am, ma-ga-am, ma-ga-am, ma-ga-am!
Ryuyeon Bi:……What's wrong with him?
Jang Hong: (shaking his head) Let it go. It's a kind of deadline neurosis that happens when you delay a deadline for a long time. I can tell you haven't slept in a long time by the way your eyes look like pandas.
Mo Yonghui: It's quite serious. Will the next book come out safely?
Bi Ryuyeon: Well, according to you, you already have one more book rolled over. It takes a lot of time to fix, doesn't it?
Jang Hong: Is it a tax or a carryover?
Bi Ryuyeon: It's more like loan interest. But I don't see the dragon, where was he the whole time?
Mo Yonghui: He's been holed up in the corner.
Ryu-yeon Bi:What's going on? I didn't see him in this book, and now he's not in the next book forever?
Jang Hong: Then I'm in trouble…….
BiYeon: Then let's interrogate Writer M first.
Jang Hong: Gently, gently.
Bi Ryuyeon: Wow, you're trying to make me feel like I've finally made a difference this time, Mr. Zhang?
Jang Hong: No, it's not that, he seems like a nice guy. No, I'm not asking you to play a lot of roles in the next book, you know how I feel.
Ryuyeon Bi: I don't want to know, so pass. I'll just listen to the writer.
Writer M: Hello, I'm Writer M, and I'm finally able to share with you the 29th volume of Virudo. Of course, I wanted to share it with you sooner, but I can't share something that isn't finished. The world is moving at an accelerated pace, and the story within the Void is at a huge turning point. In order to write that story going forward, I felt like I had to change myself first, because whatever I write will come from within me. It's been a long time coming, but I hope you'll consider it a struggle to set something bigger in motion.
Bi Ryuyeon: Was that it?
Writer M: (nodding) The movement of change seems to happen in an instant, but that's because there are invisible forces at work, like the coefficient of friction, where the bigger something is, the bigger it is, the heavier it is, the heavier it is, the bigger the coefficient of friction, and I think that when you're trying to move something with all your might and it's not moving, there's something bigger behind it that's getting ready to move, and you just have to keep pushing forward.
Ryuyeon Bi:Talking about it is one thing, but the question is whether you can actually do it or not.
Writer M: Yeah, it's hard to do that because you never know what that coefficient of friction is, how long you're going to have to push, how hard you're going to have to push. You don't know you've moved until you've moved, and you don't know you've changed until you've changed, and that's the blind spot. There's nothing more unsettling than an unclear future.
Bi Ryuyeon: Heh, I'm not worried about that future at all.
Writer M: I'm worried about your future.
Jang Hong: You and I are on the same page.
Nan Gongsheng: That's just the way you feel, isn't it?
Mo Yonghui:나도…….
Writer M: I think the most difficult thing to do in this world is to change yourself. When you change yourself, you change the world, because you change the way you see the world.
Now you're at a fresh start again.
This volume was a very important milestone for future volumes, and I think that's why I was able to give it the extra attention it deserved.
And it seems to me that it's not just non-reliability that's at a tipping point. The world, the market, is changing rapidly. Along with the expansion of the smartphone market represented by the iPhone, e-book readers are coming out one after another, and e-books are being activated. Therefore, we, Noblecore authors, are going to launch a genre fiction e-book brand in cooperation with Kyobo Bookstore this time. The works will be served in the form of a complete e-publishing service that appears first as an e-book instead of a paper book.
Soon, I'll be publishing an all-new adaptation of my work The Mermaid Saga, which was previously interrupted due to unforeseen publishing circumstances. You could call it Mermaid SaGa Rebirth.
In addition, other members of Noble Core, such as Bang Bang Na's "Angel is Dead," Gaonbi Bang Bang Yeon's "N.D (Night Delivery)," Baek Seohyun's "Day Breaker," Jaya's "Vice," Park Ji-hoon's "Goddess Founding Academy ELSRAD," Nihil's "Tegra," Park Woojin's "I. B.M' by Park Woojin, 'Sleazy Star' by Choi Jaehyung, and more will also be released under the name of Noble Core. The back parts that were not available in the book, and even the newly changed front parts depending on the work, will be available in the Kyobo eBook.
We've all been secretly preparing since the end of last year, so I think we'll probably be able to see you before the summer break, and it would be great to see you in June.
Also, Juder, who writes the popular "Kabbalist of the Abyss" comic strip on YoungChamp, drew a great 4-panel comic for us.
Thank you, sensational four-color cartoon.
This made my non-reliability 'Supplement' even richer, hoo hoo hoo.
Everything is as planned!
I'll be sure to include your 4 cuts in the next volume, so stay tuned.
Until next time, we'll be back with more meaty content.

And in the end, Hyo-Ryong never showed up.
Hyo-Ryong: Okay, wait a minute……. Do I really not have a seat?
Hyo-Ryong: Hey, hello.
Hyorong: Everyone…
