"Speaking of which, papermaking and printing should also have a good market."

Ming Ge made several copies of the book and then gave them to the girls to read freely.

Although this world has magic, and the production process of parchment scrolls is much more convenient, it is still a relatively high-end product.

At least ordinary people can hardly afford it, and even the School District of Orario cannot supply it in unlimited quantities.

Many technologies on Earth can be gradually deployed to change this cruel human world, bit by bit.

The first thing to do is to liberate our minds.

"Speaking of which, there seem to be quite a few sensitive topics in it, such as the Ankhseram."

Ming Ge seemed lost in thought.

Disseminating this book under Ming Ge's current identity could have a significant impact, sending a negative signal.

Who cares?

It's just a fantasy story, but I reckon most gods will enjoy reading it. I imagine after this book is released, more gods will side with Ming Ge.

At most... a little tweaking?

The day flew by, Meitellia closed the book, exclaiming, "What a wonderful story!"

"It takes place on another continent, so this is what they call a fantasy story... It's quite good."

Alfia added her own comment, "A wildly imaginative world, an unbelievable fantasy system."

"Dragons and war, Dragon Slayer Magic that can be obtained by burying dragon crystals, Eclipse Gate that can travel through time and space... it all seems too outrageous."

"Even Ming Ge now couldn't do that, could he?"

Gods, who are common knowledge in this world, are merely background figures in the story.

When one truly loves life, it leads to death—an incredibly cruel curse that makes one think of the true nature of gods as people seeking pleasure.

Don't say that the gods are actually quite good... but that's only a small part of it. The War Country is still carrying out rituals of mutual slaughter to this day.

The sage's eight-hundred-year wandering began with a cruel prank by the gods.

The evil god Thanatos tempts humanity with the promise of reincarnation, but ends up arranging reincarnated identities that are unacceptable to humans.

Dionysus cruelly discarded his own people like trash, forcibly turning a noble elf into a monster and reveling in her despair and cries.

In contrast, the gods Falna and receive provisions while idly idling and playing in the Babel Tower seem endearing.

That's not what I meant...

Meitellia pouted and said in a coquettish tone.

"If we're talking about stories, they're wonderful." Alfia hesitated for a moment before saying, "Love and being loved, the cruelty of life and the ruthlessness of death are all hidden beneath joy and passion... That's something to be dissatisfied with, but perhaps it's precisely because of that that it's so moving."

Chapter 122 Orario's Development

"I've found that quite a few of them match up with you, Ming Ge."

Astraea laughed, "This story isn't inspired by your own experiences, is it?"

"Perhaps... the opposite."

Ming Ge said, "Perhaps it's because of the influence of these stories that I have such a strong inclination towards magic."

"Is that so... I just feel that the diversity of magic within it is amazing."

Elsa scratched her head and said.

"That's only one aspect."

Astraea said, "Ming Ge can perform most of the magic in Fairy Tail; in fact, he could be considered a prototype of innate magic."

"The Dragon Slayer Magic is somewhat similar to the skill 'Dragon Eater'."

"Ram's curse is somewhat similar to the fate of the sage eight hundred years ago."

"The other world, Edolas, has lost its magic and is undergoing a transformation, which corresponds to Ming Ge's plan."

"The guilds in Fairy Tail correspond to the definition of a familia."

"Besides, the world is reflected in every aspect of it, which is why I suspect that this story was inspired by you."

Besides these, there are many similar ones. For example, Orario has a fairly large arena, only slightly smaller than the Grand Magic Games.

There are dark guilds, Dark Faction within clans, and so on—there are just too many to list.

Upon hearing Astraea's words, everyone realized what was going on.

That makes sense; given that they're both isekai (another world) themed works, it's only natural that they share some similarities.

Everything in the other world is of great value to this world.

The difference between the magical world and the technological world is ultimately too great; while it may be astonishing, it is difficult to comprehend. But two similar worlds are different.

It was quite shocking, but not entirely incomprehensible.

This could fuel future waves of reform.

"By the way, will the plot of Ram's Curse affect me?"

Ming Ge looked at Astraea and asked.

Although the Ming Ge is confident, he is not a true deity, so it's best to ask him.

"No problem."

Astraea laughed, "If it were shortly after our birth, something like that would probably have really happened... Nowadays, very few gods care about such things."

"If a god truly hates humanity, no matter what he does, he will attract malice. Gods who are more inclined towards benevolence and order will likely just find it amusing and might even urge you to write more, right?"

Ultimately, they had lived for too long, which made even these eternal gods somewhat numb.

Although the mind and memory do not wear down, it is quite normal for restless gods to be curious about new things and thus leave the unchanging celestial realm.

Even a Hestia came down, and decisively gave herself away.

"That's good."
