Why is Zeno's biography revered as a true masterpiece of this era, regardless of country?
There are various reasons, but Zeno's biography is a novel that can be read easily regardless of class, regardless of gender.
It wasn't filled with hard-to-understand words, and it didn't go round and round.
Concisely, but clearly, one story is put into the book, stimulating the imagination. Through that imagination, another world unfolded in my mind.
This characteristic alone satisfies the conditions for the Xenon biography to become popular all over the world. In addition to this, there is an exciting story, so it was a natural result that the popularity soared.
Even people who were illiterate in order to read Zeno's biography learned to read, so you can see how high his status is.
In fact, if you come across a word you don't know while reading Xenon's biography, you often find yourself in a dictionary or figure out what the sentence represents.
However, if the popularity skyrocketed like this, naturally there will be side effects.
Apart from Xenon's biography, other books rarely sell, and there are many cases where they saw blood while trying to be the main character in the book.
In a way, it is a natural phenomenon, but unfortunately, in the present world, such an experience has never been experienced. In the first place, there was no 'culture' that was fashionable regardless of gender, age, class, or race.
Until now, I was busy enjoying the culture and there were no side effects, but after the 10th volume of Xenon's biography appeared in the world, a hidden problem came out.
"Hurry up, open the door! You guys are publishers! You must know who Xenon-sama is!"
"At least tell me the situation! You said you were concerned about your health last time!"
"Why are you taking a break all of a sudden?!
In front of the entrance to the publishing house that signed a copyright contract with Xenon's biography. Thousands of people there are crowding and screaming whale whales.
From ordinary-looking free people, to adventurers with thick bones, and other people of various occupations.
It is rare for people of diverse backgrounds to come together and speak out without such commonalities. It is extremely rare to have a demonstration even though there are no agitators.
Oh, of course, that's not to say they don't have anything in common.
All of them were so-called 'fans' who were enthusiastic about Zeno's biography, and they flocked here after reading the 10th book of Xenon's biography.
"We don't even know! We're just accepting manuscripts and printing books!"
"Yeah! Nothing comes out of me screaming like this!"
And the workers who were struggling to stop the protesters were dying. It is somewhat unfair for them, because they themselves do not know in detail the reason why the writer declared a long hiatus.
Just two days after the release of the 10th book of Zeno's biography, I was in a rush to stop the crowd that came like a tsunami. Fortunately, the protesters did not come out violently, so could it be stopped right away?
However, if there is even a little more stimulation here, the publishing house may be taken over. Before that, I had to do some evolutionary work, but there was no sign of that, so it was very difficult.
'Do something!'
The employee blocking the protesters looked at his company with a resentful look and let out a silent clamor.
If so, how is the current situation within the publisher?
"How can't you? You must have a connection with the writer, so Xenon."
"Please, send me this letter. You say you are suffering emotionally, so I can take responsibility."
He was having a hard time dealing with nobles from all over the country. The boss looked at the nobles who begged for him, who had no power, with dismayed eyes.
I expected it, but when I encountered it in person, I was confused. There will be no such climax.
He is just a pawn who has made huge profits since signing a contract with Xenon's biography. He is not as powerful as the nobles in front of him, nor does he have the power to chew up procedures.
However, it is not just one person, and they rush in and take over the president's office, so it's crazy and crazy.
'I don't know either. These bastards.'
Seeing the nobles protesting in front of his eyes, the president laughed in dismay.
The nobility is no different from the protesters now occupying the entrance to the publishing house. The way of expressing it is different, but the feeling of concern for the writer of Zeno's biography is the same.
I am not a fan of Zeno's biography itself, rather than the type of people who are anxious to find a writer like some disgusting aristocrats.
As if to prove that, most of the nobles in the current president's office are counts or less. Since the Marquis, I've been busy with public affairs, so I can't afford to visit a publishing house or something like that.
Even if they can afford it, they will go to meetings among themselves, not to a publishing house or something like that.
"Me… Everyone? I'm sorry, but no matter how much you ask, I don't know. For what reason the writer took a break…"
"So that's what we're asking! Please find out why the writer is having a hard time and why he's been on hiatus for nearly two years!"
The boss was sweating profusely to calm the situation, but it was thwarted as one of the ladies responded with a chirping voice.
The president flinched at the sound of the lady's sharp voice, then answered with a timid voice.
"That… if you keep doing this, the writer will feel uncomfortable."
"Do you think those words will work for us now? What we want is the author's detailed circumstances, not yours. I will not take a step back from here until I give you a reason that convinces us."
"Please send me a letter. It doesn't matter who the writer is. I'm doing this because I'm really worried from a pure heart. You said you've had health problems lately."
The seeds weren't even eaten. The boss felt his head ache at the request of a nobleman, the second most pathetic after the lady.
'Do you know that the letters come and go in a day or two?'
It has been a long time since I sent a letter. Although I couldn't send the fan letter with him the last time I sent him because of a meeting, he should have arrived at the mansion by now.
So, if you wait patiently for about three days, you will get a reply. The boss was thinking of holding on somehow until then.
Of course, the standard of three days was taken under the premise that Zeno (a pen name) was Hawk. In fact, the boss can't predict how many days it will take for a reply to come back.
"I can't. As long as it's like this, I myself…!"
"In that case, what would be different from the people who tormented Zenon? Haven't you heard the voices of the protesters outside?"
"That's not what we did! I don't understand why we have to suffer!"
"Right now, it's on the verge of being ignited, so do you plan on injecting mana stones into it? It will burn very coolly. If you want to see a situation like the Zeroth Revolution unfold around the world, do so."
Fight well, fight well.
In the end, the president put on a liberated expression when he saw the nobles who started arguing with each other.
As they say, now this phenomenon will be seen as a sign of insecurity for those above them. It was even more radical than the signs of the Zeroth Revolution.
What if someone instigates here or spreads false rumors?
It is obvious that a second revolution will occur. So I have to work on evolution somehow, but there is nothing I can do.
It is not disrespectful across the river. The company that has grown through sweat and tears right now is on fire, how can you watch it?
'Luminus…'
The boss found God in his heart and prayed.
*****
The protests were not only held in front of the publishing house contracted with Xenon's biography. As Xenon's biography had a worldwide influence, protests took place in various places.
In addition to the protesters raising their voices eagerly while holding up signs in the square, unprecedented events even occurred in front of major national facilities.
All of them demanded a proper explanation to tell us about the situation of the writer of Zeno's biography, and protested, as seen in the newspaper, whether this tragedy occurred because some nobles really annoyed them.
There was no direct armed conflict like the Zeroth Revolution, but it was a situation that seemed to explode at any moment.
In such a situation, the high-ranking people in each country had a hard time figuring out how to respond, but I was able to think of a trick.
[There is no author of Zeno's biography in Korea, that is, Zeno. Originally, the publishing house was also in the Minerva Empire.]
[I'm really sorry to the protesters who raise their voices, but nothing comes out when we ask. We are also embarrassed and regretful at the news of Xenon's long hiatus.]
[If Xenon was mentally exhausted, there must have been pressure at the national level. In terms of culture, there are only two countries where one can die and cannot live.]
That is, the responsibility was shifted to the Minerva Empire and the Ters Kingdom.
In fact, the two countries are famous for turning their eyes on culture and rushing to it, and there is a record of almost going to the brink of a culture war.
In addition to this, the Minerva Empire is notorious for invading the culture of the Teres Kingdom. For this reason, it is a world-famous fact that a new strict rule was established in the Kingdom of Tersu.
The publishing house is in the Minerva Empire, and the Minerva Empire is greedy enough to steal from others when it comes to culture.
As the above two hypotheses met, all the arrows of condemnation began to pour towards the Minerva Empire. It was mere incitement, but the situation was not so good as even a drop of oil turned into a violent flame.
Furthermore, the Kingdom of Teres has a history of unprecedented events such as the Zeroth Revolution. People have even gone through such an incident, but I don't think they would commit the madness of putting pressure on the author of Xenon's biography.
"What if an event like the Zeroth Revolution happens in our empire? Is it okay?"
"If you go outside now, there is no riot. Citizens protesting in front of the Imperial Palace have also started to appear."
"oh my god…"
Such anxiety began to spread to the Halo Academy located in the capital. Even before the lecture started, I looked around the room with a subtle atmosphere.
It had only been three days since the 10th volume of Zeno's biography was published, and the aftermath was truly terrifying. Newspapers also reported that protests were taking place across the country, and it was said that the guards could not stop it and even mobilized the army.
To be honest, it was very frustrating for me. I just posted a notice of closure to focus on my studies, but the situation started to spread out of control.
It was true to say that it was difficult mentally, but it was distorted to mean that someone was under pressure. The question is, is this not just a lie?
Once I sent a letter to the publisher, I wondered if it would be possible to evolve.
As I was tilting my head at the strangely flowing situation, Marie sitting next to me flirted and opened her mouth.
"So how do you feel?"
"what?"
"You feel firsthand that you are having an impact on the world beyond the empire."
I scratched my head when I heard Marie's question, not knowing how to answer it. I was able to realize that experiencing it once is more effective than hearing it a hundred times, and seeing the inside of the classroom buzzing makes me realize.

Even the academy students can sense the aura of insecurity, so the situation outside shouldn't be a riot. I let out a long nose breath and glanced at Marie.
As if she was not worried at all, she only smiled with her characteristic hoarse smile. In case anyone else knows, Marie comes from the Rechilis family, who is second only to the emperor in power.
So it must have had an effect on Marie's family as well. I can't help but worry
"Aren't you worried?"
"A little? But it will calm down soon. I can be sure of this."
A confident answer raises a question. As I blinked and tilted my head, Marie gasped.
Then she glanced back and beckoned to me. He slowly brought her face to the gesture as if to borrow her ear.
"Whoa~"
"Ugh!"
I was startled and fluttered at the sound of the wind piercing my ears. As I jumped like a living fish, Marie let out a naughty laugh.
"Hey. Are you okay?"
"Oh, really… Don't play like this."
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. And would you like to take a look around?"
"What else…"
I wondered if I was joking again, but I turned my head to the side according to her words. And as soon as she turned her head, she couldn't help but blink at the sight of a man in sight.
Golden hair came down like waves, and a beautiful woman with blue eyes shining like jewels and a neat impression stood next to me.
It was Lina, the princess of the Minerva Empire.
For a moment I wondered why Lina was standing next to me, and Lina looked at me with a darkened expression. She is not a face that has always been calm, but a face that is immersed in water.
"…Isaac."
"Uh… yes."
She called my name and looked at Marie once. At that gaze, her Marie shrugged her shoulders and showed a reaction as if she was free to do whatever she wanted.
I must have gotten permission from Marie, Lina had a determined expression on her face and spoke to me in a low voice.
"…can you give me a minute?"
It was when I was stunned by that request. Marie, who was next to her, opened her mouth with her sarcastic tone.
"Is that the attitude of the person to ask?"
"… …"
"I have to ask you politely.
Was it because Marie was annoyed when she interrupted each letter one by one? Lina glared at her Marie with her slightly venomous face.
With that or not, Marie snorted and relaxed a lot. If you want to try it once, it's a look on your face.
However, Lina clenched her fists tightly, realizing that there was no benefit to fighting attrition like this. And she looked at me once more and said her request.
"…Please."
There was a lot of power in his voice.
