After settling into his new routine and starting his freelancing work, Sorata found himself becoming more immersed in his writing and online ventures.
He began exploring different genres and topics, experimenting with his creativity, and honing his skills as a writer.
One day, as Sorata was browsing through various job postings online, he stumbled upon an interesting opportunity. The Dengeki Bunko Studio was looking for talented writers to contribute to their upcoming anthology. The theme of the anthology was "unconventional love stories," and it immediately piqued Sorata's interest.
Feeling a surge of excitement, Sorata decided to submit one of his light novel ideas for consideration.
He poured his heart and soul into crafting a captivating story that would resonate with readers. The protagonist was inspired by his experiences at Sakura Dorm, drawing upon the unique dynamics and relationships he had witnessed among the residents.
Along with the complication of relationships that burst forth with different analogies about his death and reincarnation, he was able to create a good novel related to Subaru, as he wrote "Re: Zero." Lightnovel in the end.

In this mean period, Misaki was feeling a little awkward around Sorata for some reason, as he had been acting a little differently, which was making her a little pissed.
"He is definitely avoiding me."
So, thinking along those lines, she broke into his room that evening. While reading the entire Premier Quality Re: Zero, which turned out to be on an entirely different level from what he had previously created, Sorata was working on the final editing he had made.
"Sorata!" She swung inside the room using the rope she had used to enter from the upper floor just as someone abruptly jumped inside from the window.
"Misaki-senpai! What's with that entrance, as hectic as always? Huh!" Sorata was surprised, as he did not think that Misaki would use this method so early in the series, but looking at Misaki Senpai at its fullest, he felt that what he did on that day was worth it. "Hmph." She simply turned her head to look at Sorata's response, which caused Sorata to look rather perplexed because he had no idea why she was acting so sour.
"Really, what happened, Senpai? I did not do anything to make you mad at me, so is there something you want to clarify here?" He worried that it might be a date, but his concerns proved to be unfounded when she revealed that she had the impression that I was avoiding her even though it was simply that. The novel was what he was working on at the time, and without his knowledge, his entire attention was focused there.
"Oh, a novel? Then I will also wait for it and read it in the sneaker magazine. I am looking forward to it, Kohai-kun." After having her doubts dispelled, Misaki left the room, which caused Sorata to chuckle at her attitude of freedom and free will.
"As expected of Misaki-senpai, she's a real weirdo, just like someone I knew before."
Days went by, and Sorata continued with his daily routine while eagerly awaiting a response from the publishing company. He received positive feedback on some of his other freelancing work, which further fueled his determination to succeed as a writer.
Finally, the day arrived when Sorata received an email that would change his life. The subject line read, "Congratulations! Your Light Novel Has Been Selected." His heart raced as he opened the email, devouring every word with anticipation.
The publishing company loved Sorata's light novel idea and wanted to include it in their anthology. They were impressed by his fresh perspective and ability to portray unconventional love stories in a cold yet heartfelt and relatable manner.
They offered him a publishing deal, complete with an advance payment and the opportunity for future collaboration.
Overwhelmed with joy and a sense of accomplishment, Sorata couldn't wait to share the news with his friends at Sakura Dorm. He rushed to the common area, where everyone was gathered, engrossed in their respective activities.
"Guys, I have some incredible news!" Sorata exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement.
His friends looked up, curious about the source of his enthusiasm. Ryuunosuke put down his laptop and turned to look at Sorata with a smile. He could tell how delighted Sorata was with the book.
"I submitted my light novel to an international publishing company, and they loved it!" Sorata announced it, unable to contain his happiness.
His friends erupted in cheers and applause, genuinely happy for him. Misaki-senpai, in particular, beamed with pride and couldn't contain her excitement. "Sorata, that's amazing! I always knew you had what it takes to become a successful writer!" Misaki gave a bear hug to Sorata from behind as he nearly fell on his face, hugging him like a koala.
Sorata couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for his friends' unwavering support. Sorata was confident that his writing career was starting to take off after the publication of his light novel in the anthology.
"I guess it calls for a party, right, sensei?" Jin questioned as he observed a jubilant Misaki and reflected on how impolite it had been for this kohai to date her, but he also assisted Misaki in helping him come to a decision.
Because of this, he had begun to steer clear of the previous girls he had slept with and once dated.
However, he had been struggling to maintain self-control once more as his body was already accustomed to sleeping with someone after seeing Misaki's happy face.
He began to question whether or not he had made the right choice as he observed her smile, but somehow, thanks to his memory of those events, Jin was able to remain confident in his choice.
