Chapter 244: Typewriter (1)

Chapter 244: Typewriter (1)

In this world, writing may resemble English, but the context itself is no different from Korean. The reason I quickly grasped the languages of this world was that despite the languages being different, the context remained the same. If you just memorize the language, thats the end of it.

The reason I said that if typewriters were invented, the work speed would double was also because of this. Since the context is the same, I could just type as I imagine, and it would be done.

Language issue? Once you get used to it, it becomes meaningless. Even in my past life, when I typed in English instead of Korean, I struggled a bit, but after adapting, I could use it as naturally as water flowing.

And that fits perfectly with the current situation. This machine I received from Gartz, could be called a typewriter and a copier. If you turn it on and type, hologram-like characters appear in the air, and if theres paper, you can print those characters.

A creation specialized in magic and with craftsmanship rivaling dwarves, made only by the demon race, who are adept at both magic and craftsmanship, exclusively for writing.

Gartz told me to call this machine whatever I wanted. When I asked why I, not the creator, should name it, he said it was solely for me. So, I simply named it Typewriter. It might seem ordinary, as I brought up a name from my past life, but Gartz was pleased. Despite being a simple typewriter, its performance surpasses technology by leaps and bounds.

Its a piece that could transcend the industrial era and fit right into the modern age, even if its claimed to be mixed with magic. Despite that, its performance is unbelievable. Thanks to it, Ive come to realize the potential of magic in this world and what outcomes the demons might cause if they decide to.

Especially for something like a typewriter, its akin to giving me wings. Its not an empty statementI can release a book every two weeks while juggling my studies. During breaks, I might write continuously and publish every ten days. After all, until now, Ive been steadily releasing one every month, all handwritten.

Above all, the best part is being able to upgrade its performance through Gartz. If I express a desire for certain features based on memories from my past life, Gartz would immediately return to Helium and add those functions.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

At first, the keys for numbers were oddly placed, and the backspace was similar. But after various suggestions, a typewriter very similar to my past one was born. Its called a typewriter, but its almost just a keyboard.

The only downside is the key pressure. They seem to have set the key pressure very low, considering my finger fatigue, but that also means I often press the wrong keys.

Still, its much better than writing by hand. Its a bit of an indulgence to have that crisp sound, like a mechanical keyboard.

Nevertheless, the typewriter, born after numerous improvements, has significantly increased my work speed. Ive already typed about half, so Ive used the typewriter for the remaining portion.

Ta-tatata ta-tata

The distinct typing noise of the typewriter gradually filled the dormitory. At the same time, the characters Im typing startede lining up in front of my eyes.

Although this typewriter works on scientific principles, its mostly crafted through magic, so the noise isnt that loud.

The key feel is just a sensation of pressing, and otherwise, its quite plain. Despite improvements based on my advice, it has many shortcomings as a prototype.

However, as mentioned earlier, the existence of a typewriter alone is advanced technology. The significant influence of magic, rather than machinery, adds value to the typewriter.

I happen to be one of the few who can use the typewriter almost as well as an expert. Its like giving wings to a tiger.

Not even five minutes have passed, and Ive already filled a whole page. As soon as I heard the notification that the page was full, I immediately inserted a manuscript into the space below.

Then, with the characteristic whirring sound of a copier, a sheet of paper came out of the typewriter. Along with a warm feeling, the characters filling the manuscript caught my eye.

The standard for the pages is strictly based on the manuscript, and if desired, the font size can be reduced.

Its really convenient.

I quickly checked for any possible typos on the page and gently placed it on the desk. The desk was already piled high with manuscript paper.

The typewriters efficacy was impressive, but the most astonishing aspect is its typo inspection feature. Unlike the drawback of having to discard paper in case of a typo in typewriters from my past life, this typewriter uses a holographic format for output, allowing for the removal of characters beforehand.

Once key figures noticed this plan, they immediately remembered Sakran and swiftly took action to thwart it. While they wished to seek help from Xenon and Mary in their hearts, the plan had already been set in motion a long time ago.

Belzebub goes so far as to block all external communication and even disable teleportation, showcasing a cunning level of prevention. In the end, the main story of volume 20 is about Jin and Lily working tirelessly to stop it.

Wow. Have I written this much already?

I paused briefly for a break, but the manuscript was already piling up. My hands werent even tired. Is this the power of machinery? At this pace, it might actually be possible to produce one book every two weeks.

I was marveling at the addictive performance of the typewriter Helium had specially made for me when a thought struck me. They went through the trouble of making this typewriter for me; shouldnt I do something for them in return?

By the way, I handed a signed copy to Gartz. Not just one book, but all the books from the first to the present. I vividly remember how happy he was when he received the signed copies. But that was a personal gift for Gartz, not a gift for Helium.

So, what would be a good gift? Since they invented a typewriter for me, I should give them something in kind.

After much thought, a good idea came to me. Just like writing the Kayr side story, I should write a Jin and Lily side story. Its been mentioned so far, but the detailed reason why they fell in love with each other hasnt been explained.

There are few stories about love between a human and an elf, but there wasnt one with a demon. Frankly, while they might not show it outwardly, they might secretly feel disappointed.

Do I release the side story after the 20th volume? Or should it be released together with it?

At the conclusion of the 20th volume,

I might just receive endless criticism

As soon as Jin hears the secret of his birth from Belzebub, he gets stabbed through his heart.

Due to the fear of potential aftermath, I had to momentarily put it aside. I thought I should ask Cecily about it first. So, the next day, as soon as it became possible, I found Cecily and asked her a question. I really liked the typewriter and I wanted to reciprocate to Helium.

I asked if there was anything else she needed apart from my writing, which I am best at. Cecily seemed to ponder deeply and said.

There is one way.

What is it?

Cecily smiled slyly at my question and replied in her characteristic teasing voice.

You just have to stop taking birth control whenever were together for about two months.

Upon hearing that, I immediately raised my gaze to check her horns. Somehow, except for the tips, they were already tinged with red.

Im scheduled as the next Demon Lord, so I have an obligation to bear offspring. It wont be a problem if its slightly accelerated. Besides, its Isaacs child, right?

Lets discuss this later.

Sheesh.

Cecily genuinely felt disappointed.
