I Became A Playwright In Medieval Fantasy

"Hah, I know how absurd it sounds! But we cannot dismiss this matter lightly! That person will undoubtedly become a serious obstacle to our plans…!"

"An obstacle? What kind of obstacle? A mere pen—without sword or magic—is supposed to pose a threat?"

"Well, uh…"

In truth, the general's argument did sound ridiculous.

After ordering him to analyze the factors behind the shifting battle conditions, all that had returned was nonsensical rambling that didn’t align at all.

“A Hero Candidate of the Pen, supposedly having awakened some ancient magic, capable of brainwashing and controlling people’s minds, and possessing some mysterious power to shake the world with just a pen…”

The Demon Lord of the demons glared coldly at the general with narrowed eyes.

“We are already preoccupied preparing for the future of our race in this cold and desolate land. Yet here you come, insulting me with such a pitiful excuse.”

“It’s not an excuse! Don’t be fooled by the name! You must not underestimate the Hero Candidate of the Pen!”@@novelbin@@

"Throw him into the dungeon immediately. We will deal with his failure at a later time."

“My lord, please! You must believe me! The Hero Candidate of the Pen—his power is not to be taken lightly!”

The general was dragged away by undead servants, screaming in desperation.

The Demon Lord, watching with a look of disbelief, muttered under his breath.

“Humans these days seem to be choosing just about anyone as Hero Candidates. Have they all gone mad?”

“Perhaps it works in our favor,” said one of the Demon Lord’s aides. “If they are indulging in such farcical titles, it must mean that the south has grown complacent.”

The Demon Lord clenched the armrests of his flaming throne and replied, “There is no need to concern ourselves with a Hero Candidate of the Pen. What of the Sword Candidate?”

“The half-elf girl, my lord? Rest assured, she continues to wander aimlessly for now.”

The Sword Candidate, Phantom’s contemporary, was another Hero Candidate the demons were keeping a close eye on. Although her exceptional talents had yet to fully blossom, the demons were wary for another reason.
