On the southeast coast of the continent of Parinoia, there is a small town called "Origin".

The town is a typical rustic fishing village, and although there is nothing particularly noteworthy, it is still a rich and peaceful place thanks to the abundant local seafood.

And if you want to say that the only drawback of the town is that it is too peaceful.

Located on the edge of the continent and not an important estuary or seaport, the town's daily life is almost monotonous.

Even the most cutting-edge dynamics of the world itself have been brought here through the traders and traffickers. Due to the town's long-term cognitive isolation, when the news came here, it almost became boring news that tasted like chewing wax, and it didn't arouse the interest of the town's residents at all.

How did the magical civilization of the continent prosper, how powerful and high-ranking knights were, and how did the cutting-edge alchemy technology develop by leaps and bounds?

The townspeople apparently didn't care.

The only thing they cared about was the harvest that would go to sea during the day, and ...... The party in the evening.

......

The twilight is getting deeper, and the whiteness of the sky is slowly sinking.

Nine out of ten of the town's residents slowly gathered in the worship square in the center of the town.

In the center of the Piazza de la Worship has the only lantern in the town.

It was the product of a highly developed form of alchemy, and it was able to use liquid Qi as fuel to bring daylight to the night.

And as the crowd sat down in the worship square, a young man with an exceptionally slender figure finally came from the twilight with everyone's expectations.

The boy's name is Su Mu, and he claims to be a bard.

However, compared to his identity as a bard, what is more impressive about Su Mu is his face that can hardly find any flaws.

Even the men in the town were suspicious of the ...... The women in the town, as young as thirteen or fourteen years old, as old as thirty or forty years old, only because of some attribute called "nymphomaniac" would come to listen to his unfounded stories every day.

However, this idea was quickly shattered.

Because in just a few days, even the men were shocked to discover:

This stunningly good-looking bard, the bizarre things he talks about, are a hundred times more wonderful than those of other merchants.

Even the residents of this town have developed the habit of gathering after dark to listen to stories.

......

But tonight's story meeting is still a little special after all.

The young bard named Su Mu did not routinely ask a few questions about the customs and customs as usual, and then exchanged his own story in exchange.

Under the dimming of the Qi light, not only did he not ask any more questions, but his expression was slightly strange, and he said softly: "Today, I will give you a more special story. ”

Su Mu said as he stopped paying attention to the opinions of the townspeople.

He did not continue the luxurious journey of "Tony Shi" wearing alchemical armor, nor did he start the path of death of "Drum Washing Machine" to become a child.

On the contrary, it is very capricious, and a more bizarre story is told:

"Once upon a time there was a king who locked up a man named Truman in a city and recorded his every move with magic, and then shared it with everyone outside the city to enjoy. ”

Su Mu lightly went straight to the point, no longer had any weird narrative, and no longer added the slightest gorgeous rhetoric that made people yearn for it. is just simple and straightforward, in a way that the world can understand, talking about the movie in his memory.

"However, everything around the man is fake, and it is all deliberately arranged by the king. Relatives are fake, friendships are fake, and even his wife didn't marry him because of love. ”

As Su Mu spoke, he looked up at the sky above him, as if he was searching for the gaze of the so-called "king", but after all, he found nothing.

However, the man named Truman inadvertently discovered the king's arrangement, and still saw the absurdity in the bones of this city. So he used all his strength to break through the shackles of the city with great difficulty, and returned to a more normal world. ”

Su Mu said lightly that Truman had successfully resisted, but there was still no trace of joy in his tone, but a more sad mood was brewing.

"But he went crazy after all, and after fleeing from there, Truman would come up to him and ask, 'How do you prove that the world you see must be a real world?'" However, no one can answer this question, and everyone doesn't even dare to think too deeply. ”

"So, if I tell you now that everything around you is nothing but a farce in the mind of some 'king,' will you believe me?"

......

Of course, Su Mu knew that his question could not get any feedback.

But Su Mu still asked like this after all, and he still gave the most messy question about everything in front of him that was bizarre and real.

Su Mu, a seventeen-year-old boy, an ordinary student in the second year of high school, and a second-year teenager who has fantasized about shaping the whole world since he was a child.

Now he is so outrageous that he has entered this world in his own mind.

In fact, in the past ten days, he has continued to bring fresh stories to the residents of the town, which is a way for Su Mu to obtain information about this world and survival materials.

And after this period of induction and summarization, Su Mu is now 100% sure that this is the world he imagined.

This is a world in the Middle Ages, where magical civilization and supernatural martial arts are extremely developed.

And in this world where demonic martial arts are prevalent, the core source of all energy is also a mysterious substance called "Qi".

As for the word "Qi", in fact, Su Mu heard it by chance from his knowledgeable grandfather when he was very young.

Everything is so wanton, with Su Mu's brain hole!

Even Su Mu's appearance now is so perfect. That's also because, in Su Mu's self-delusion, he is such a stinky shamelessness and blind narcissism.

......

However, compared to trivial matters such as appearance, the question that Su Mu was more concerned about at this time was obviously how he should survive in this world.

If it is just like now, telling stories in this lonely town, teasing the hearts of young girls, and then living carefree and innocent, it is naturally a very simple thing.

But after all, Su Mu returned from that era of material prosperity.

really wants him to eat the salted fish on the drying field forever, and then completely become a salted fish, but it is a life that he can't accept.

Not to mention, as the creator of this world, Su Mu actually knows better than anyone else...... The whole world outside the town, how magnificent and bizarre, and how splendid.

Swords and magic shine, dragons and beasts fly!

For such a terrifying and brilliant world, how could Su Mu be willing not to touch it personally...... The most authentic and original throbbing beneath its gorgeous exterior.

......

So after Su Mu finished talking about "Truman's World", he continued without hesitation:

"Today is the last time I'll share my story with you, and I've already decided to leave. Don't try to keep me anymore, after all, living without a fixed place is the romance that belongs to the bard. ”

While saying a magnificent excuse, Su Mu also bowed deeply forward, and made an extremely serious goodbye to the first batch of humans he came to know in this world.

And the residents of the town who heard Su Mu say goodbye, although they were indeed a little reluctant in their hearts.

But even they themselves understand that a delicate and mysterious boy like Su Mu will not stay here forever after all.

"Will you include the town of origin in your stories?"

There was an ignorant child, who finally mustered up some courage, and then asked on a whim.

However, when Su Mu heard this, his originally resolute and stiff expression was stunned and a little frozen.

But in an instant, this solidification became unusually soft again, and finally turned into an inexplicable smile. And with the outline of this shallow smile, Su Mu also replied softly:

"Of course, that's what it is...... The story I wanted to write!"
