Chapter 87
My condition wasn’t great after using the blessing during the Michelan incident.
And above all…
‘Reading the comments is infuriating.’
Reading such comments sends shivers down my spine.
I sighed and looked at the window.
‘Huh? Why are there so few activated chapters?’
I can’t know all the past comments.
I can only see comments from current chapters.
But…
‘Chapter 2?’
When Michelan was released from the palace, wasn’t it already up to chapter 5?
I scrolled up with a puzzled look.
The title and novel introduction appeared.
The unfortunate swordsman, Balzac Astra, who lost everything because of his own family.
Now, it’s his turn to devour the family.
‘What’s with this action fantasy novel-like introduction?’
The original <Grandvill> was less intense.
Wait.
‘Balzac? Balzac Astra?’
I stared at the window with my mouth agape.
No matter how many times I blinked or slapped my cheek, the screen didn’t change.
So, this is real.
‘This crazy… crazy author─!!’
The protagonist of the novel has changed.
***
Okay, I know.
It’s common on free serialization sites to overhaul a novel if it doesn’t do all that hot along the way.
If there’s a popular character in a failed story, they can be reused as the protagonist in another work.
‘But involving me in this way isn’t right.’
I gripped my head in frustration.
Where did it all go wrong?
Until recently, Dahlia was the protagonist.
<Grandvill> had more comments and views than ever before. Even if it was due to controversy.
So, did the author’s mental state shatter?
‘Why has Balzac become the protagonist?’
No matter how much I wrung my brain dry, no answers come.
I need to read the comments to understand anything.
I looked at the comments on the activated chapters.
The family setting smells of a typical internet novel. Sniff sniff, world ranking no. 1 Ban Huihy**l
└ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
this protagonist is sick in the head. i mean sure his twin died, but why’s he attacking his adoptive father?
└ what can you do if he’s a baby lacking brainsㅠ
This work is nothing but a sloppy piece that can’t even be genre savvy in the most basic sense. I can’t even get my money back. I’m selling all my stocks.
└ sams*ng electronics, sam?
└ he fits the protagonist criteria, tbh. enough tragedy, opportunity to overcome, ability.
└ who asked you, bud?
└ genre savvy my foot, you prolly don’t even know what that means
└ Please don’t fight.
‘What is all this?’
One particular comment made me freeze.
‘Joshua’s going to die?’
Balzac thinks his father is the culprit and attacks him?
Suddenly, a scene flashed in my mind.
Joshua uncharacteristically protecting Baron Zahavin.
‘…Something is happening right now.’
I sprang up from the bed.
I hurried out of my room to Joshua’s.
I banged on the door, but no one answered for a long time.
‘Is he asleep?’
No matter how much I knocked, no sound came from Joshua’s room.
Instead, Balzac emerged from the next room.
“What’s up?”
“Oshua whewe?”
“In his room, probably.”
“Not thewe!”
“Where did he go… But that’s strange? I didn’t hear him leave.”
Balzac’s words made me jolt.
When someone has manifested their aura, they become very sensitive to other people’s presence.
Unless it’s like last time in the stable under the red moon, when it’s impossible to use the blessing, Balzac should have felt something.
I quickly looked around.
‘Is there anything to grab?’
Just then, I saw a large gemstone on the decorative stand.
I grabbed the gemstone and pounded the door.
“What are you doing?”
Balzac looked at me, puzzled.
“Oshua in dangow!” (Joshua’s in danger!)
“What?”
Balzac stared at me intently.
Then, seemingly realizing my expression was genuine, he approached Joshua’s door.
“Move.”
He pushed me aside slightly and kicked the door with force.
The door, struck by a foot imbued with the blessing of strengthening, flew off.
Balzac and I hurried into the room.
And inside…
