#Episode 30
I kept writing.
I thought about it over and over again while writing the novel.
‘My brother said that he had this thought at that time, but I don’t think it’s right to put it in here. It’s obvious that the readers will get bored.’
‘Character description is simple. In a novel, few readers care about the person’s clothes. Rather, they care more about the way they speak and act. It would be better to delete this part. Keep it simple. This is not the time to be humorous.’
‘Let’s see. This is a genre novel, but since I’m writing about my brother’s experiences, there’s no need to change people’s names to pseudonyms. Let’s use real names. The guys who ran the business, the serial killers, etc., let’s just leave them as they are.’
I was working the old-fashioned way, writing notes with a pen instead of tapping away at a keyboard, but it was fast.
Jeongbin didn’t stop.
If there’s a problem with my real name or anything like that, I can edit it later. For now, I just want to focus on writing.
I had to tell the story.
I had to tell the world their story, a story that no one knew about, a story that was bound to be forgotten.
This is a novel, but it is not a novel. It is a man’s memoir, a narrative of what one man saw and experienced, and the traces of 200 people that no one in the world knows about.
Square, square.
The sound filled the room.

There was definitely something that had to be done.
First of all, the watch that Jin Shi-hoo is wearing now is the same watch that the 200th apostle used.
But as is the case with celebrities, they each wear at least two watches.
One for personal use, the other for public use.
The Apostle’s Watch, which was used for official purposes, was never accepted in the first place. He simply told them to destroy it and canceled the number itself.
Jin Shi-hoo is currently using a watch that only allows him to contact a very small number of people, including his older sister Jin Song-yi, or at most four people. The same goes for his messenger account.
Woohoo.
The watch vibrates.
Looking at the name, it’s ‘Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae’.
The 200th Apostle is a genre novel writer who mainly serializes his works online. Naturally, as a writer, he has a management agency.
Kwon Hyuk-jae, the general manager of JH Media.
He was the dedicated editor and producer of the 200th Apostle.
[Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae: Author, are you planning on working on a new piece?]
[Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae: But the title is a bit boring. Would you be okay with this, Titan?]
[Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae: You said you wanted to try a zombie story for your next work, but you’re thinking of writing a fantasy story?]
[Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae: Author, can I talk to you?]
[Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae: Author, are you there?]
[Team Leader Kwon Hyuk-jae: Author… … .]
etc.
Not even five minutes had passed since I opened the door and came out.
It seems that Jeongbin registered a new novel and Team Leader Kwon Hyukjae saw it. Jin Shihoo didn’t say much to Jeongbin about the title.
I just told you to title it whatever you want.
I really like the fact that the title is Titan. It’s so plain.
The novel Titan has left Jin Shihou’s hands. I don’t plan on caring about it anymore.
Since this watch and the computer’s messenger are connected, Jeongbin will probably check it soon.
Then, I raised my gaze slightly.
You have one unread message.
[010-2222-7777: Hello, customer. You need to pay back the money. Please contact me as soon as you confirm.]
What is this?
Jin Shihou frowned. He was displeased.
Anyway, it wasn’t wrong to tell Jeongbin that he was going to a good place. Jin Shihou really wants to go to a good place.
This is a hotel. A hotel suite.
I’m thinking about smoking a cigarette, but it’s rude to smoke inside. There’s a separate smoking room, so I’m thinking about going there.
I walked towards the smoking room, fiddling with the cigarette in my arms. There was an elevator towards the smoking room, and just as I did, the elevator door opened.
And as soon as he saw the face of the man who appeared there, Jin Shi-hoo started laughing.
what.
“Why are you here?”
“Because you haven’t answered my call.”
It was Secretary Yoon Young-soo.
I guess there’s something to see.
Jin Shihou asked Yun Yeongsu.
“Do you smoke?”
“I smoke it sometimes.”
“Then why don’t you go for a smoke? I’ll light it for you.”
“… … I see.”
“Let’s talk as we go. Should we have time to smoke a cigarette?”
“Yes, that’s enough. You can just do it now.”
He asked, walking forward.
“What is it? What do you want to say?”
“A SSS-class gate has just occurred in the Uyuni Desert.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. So now all the unique awakened people from all over the country have moved to Switzerland.”
Swiss?

“The Milky Way is in Switzerland?”
“No. The Uyuni Salt Flats are in Bolivia. The World Awakened Association is in Switzerland. All the unique Awakened are called by the World Awakened Association.”
“Your sister too?”
“Yes. I was on my way to Korea when I had to turn back and head to Switzerland.”
“I’m busy.”
“I’m busy.”
He took a cigarette. He handed one to Yoon Young-soo and lit it for him.
He said as he stared blankly at Yoon Young-soo while inhaling the smoke.
“I came to tell you that there may be an emergency.”
“Like what happened last time?”
“Yes. It looks like the apostles are approaching not only Jin Shi-hoo but also the Master. We’ll have to wait and see if this is just a one-time thing or not. But I heard you hired a ghostwriter.”
“I saved him. He’s a very trustworthy guy.”
“Ghostwriter Jung Bin, to be honest, I don’t know much about ordinary people like me, but I think people like Jin Shi Hou will see something different. I’m personally looking forward to it.”
“What are your expectations?”
Yoon Young-soo said.
“Oh, and the Jin Tae-seop death case was concluded as suicide. Do you remember Superintendent Kang Hyeon-su, who identified Jin Si-hoo as a suspect in the Kim Min-jae murder case in Gimcheon and called him into the investigation room?”
“I will do it.”
“I took care of it yesterday. And I also took care of it all by having him discharged from the hospital.”
Jin Shi-hoo burst into laughter as he exhaled smoke.
and.
“You’re doing a great job. But you said you got it done, right?”
When he pretended to cut his throat with his hand, Yoon Young-soo answered as if asking why he was asking such a thing.
“Yes, I killed him.”
“Wow, this guy is killing people in the city, he’s a bad person.”
“My brother-in-law said, “At least I didn’t throw anyone out of the apartment or anything.”
When you say that, I am speechless. Suddenly, I become curious.
“Do you know, too, sister?”
“I don’t know.”
“Oh, you don’t know?”
“Yes. The Master is a moderately gray figure, but his gray is almost pure white. I am more of a black person.”
It was definitely a good look.
Jin Shi-hoo was becoming more and more reassured of Yun Yeong-su, not just a little bit. But.
“Are you okay?”
At Jin Shihou’s words, Yun Yeong-su closed his mouth for a moment.
Because I felt a strange nuance in those words, “Are you okay?”
“You look fine. That’s okay.”
I didn’t think deeply about it, said Yoon Young-soo.
“If you need anything, please let me know.”
Jin Shihou smiles brightly.
“I don’t think I need to tell you since you’re doing everything so well. Oh, and I’m planning on staying in this suite for the time being, so come visit when you’re bored. I like it here.”
“Yes, you can stay anytime. This hotel is our Salvation Guild’s property.”
“I didn’t know that. Could you give me a discount?”
“I can give you a discount if you want. The tax issue is a bit complicated, but I can handle it within my capabilities.”
“I was just saying. What are you talking about? If not now, when will I use the blind money that the apostle has stashed away?”
I stubbed out my cigarette.
“Anyway, if anything strange happens, please contact me right away. I’ll contact you separately.”
“Yes, then take care. And.”
and.
“I’ll say it again, I’m personally looking forward to this work.”
“Don’t expect too much. They say that the greater your expectations, the greater your disappointment.”
Yoon Young-soo laughed.
“It’s an unfair game, but if the work is average, I’ll start working on it right away, whether it’s a drama, comic book, movie, or anything else.”
It was sincere. To be honest, some of the works written by the 200th Apostle have been produced as webtoons and dramas, but that was only because of Jin Song-i’s influence. Not even for a moment did the Salvation Guild or Jin Song-i ask for the 200th Apostle’s works to be well-received, promote them, or put pressure on the production company.
But this time it’s different.
I plan to actively participate. The quality of the novel? It doesn’t matter. A ghostwriter? It doesn’t matter. If necessary, I plan to announce to the world that I am a ghostwriter. I will tell the world everything that happened on the planet called Titan.
Yoon Young-soo was curious about what kind of world the world would become after Jin Shi-hoo’s work was released to the public.
“And, what are you going to do about Jin Tae-seop’s funeral?”
“I was going to do it right away when you came, but why?”
“It’s not clear when the Bolivian gates will be cleared. The funeral schedule could continue to be delayed. Better yet.”
“rather?”
“How about skipping it?”
He looked at Yoon Young-soo with strange eyes.
“Isn’t what Lord Jin Shi-hoo wants the personal information of those who bet money or went on gambling trips with Jin Tae-seop?”
“It’s similar. I heard that he also borrowed money from private lenders, and that’s also a bit annoying.”
Yoon Young-soo took out a file from his inventory and handed it over.
“I did some research on it.”
After receiving the paper, I unfolded it.
I was a little surprised when I saw it.
“Is this correct?”
“you’re right.”
“There are so many. But there are quite a few soldiers here too?”
“It ranges from colonels, brigadier generals, major generals, and even generals.”
It may be surprising, but Jin Tae-seop is a former soldier. He graduated from the Korea Military Academy.
Yoon Young-soo pointed to a name on the list with his finger.
“That gentleman is a gambler who used to be called the ‘Jjakgwi’ of Majang-dong.”
“Colonel Jang Mak-su?”
“yes.”
“It’s the end of the world. A colonel or something like that is a gambler. But can a gambler become a soldier?”
“He’s never been caught and his identity is unknown to the world, so it’s entirely possible. He was originally a soldier and visited several gambling houses. That guy is the one who did the work.”
It was at that moment that Jin Shi-hoo, who had a rough idea, was looking through the list.
hmm.
There was one name that bothered me. To be exact, it wasn’t a person’s name but a group name.
“Your Majesty’s Capital?”
“It’s a large corporation with some awakened people mixed in. It’s called Capital, but in reality it’s a guild. Clearing the gate.”
There’s everything.
Yoon Young-soo said to Jin Shi-hoo, who thought so.
“At first, Jang Mak-su dragged Jin Tae-seop into the gambling house, and after that, the King’s Guild took the lead in robbing Jin Tae-seop. All the dozens of people there received bribes.”
“Congo?”
“We all bought at least one house in Gangnam. Thanks to Jin Tae-seop.”
“I guess a lot of my money and yours went into it.”
“Yes. The estimate is roughly over 98 billion. Including the yacht, the foreign car, and the money I still owe… … it’s almost 110 billion.”
It was ridiculous.
This is not just any sucker. It wouldn’t be awkward to call him the king of real suckers.
And the money is so unrealistic. Not a billion or two billion, but a hundred billion?
Jin Shihou suddenly became curious. How much does his older sister earn a year?
I’ll have to ask him later. While we’re on the subject, Jin Shi-hoo showed Yoon Young-soo the strange text message he’d received earlier.
It was a text message asking him to pay back the money, and Yoon Young-soo narrowed his eyes upon seeing it.
“010-2222-7777… … .”
“Is this a familiar number?”
“wait a minute.”
Yoon Young-soo taps his watch. It doesn’t take long. About a minute.
“I looked it up and it’s the number of the Vice President of the King’s Guild.”
“What is his name?”
“Jung Gil-tae. He is a Class A Awakened man who used to be active in the Shinsegae Guild but moved to the King’s Guild. He hates yellow hair so much that he was nicknamed the ‘yellow-hair hater’ when he was a Clearer.”
It’s not even a funny nickname.
Yoon Young-soo asked Jin Shi-hoo, who nodded vaguely.
“What are you going to do?”
“What should I do? I have to steal everything.”
“Are you going to kill them all?”
I laughed.
“well.”
