Chapter 1- Hikaru

"Hmm…"

Hikaru hummed as he looked at his face in the mirror, no matter how much he looks at his appearance it won't revert back. Instead of his ugly fat appearance, the one in the mirror right now is a guy with average height and he has a slim figure with pale skin.

He is quite handsome and attractive with long lashes  and a slightly feminine-looking face. He also has deep blue eyes, messy black hair that goes down to his nape with parted bangs and thin eyebrows.

But one thing that further boosted this appearance were the piercings and tattoos on his body, he looked like a Yakuza? Or a bad boy maybe? Well, anyway, Hikaru could tell that he now has the appearance of Miyamura Izumi from Horimiya.

*Ding!

'Huh?'

Hikaru was surprised with the sudden sound of ringing inside his head, then in the next moment, a floating game-like panel appeared in front of him.

[Mogul System has been Activated]

Hikaru immediately got excited when he saw this string of words, as a person who loved to read and watch anime/manga/novel/H-ahem, Hikaru of course knew the existence of Systems, after all, it was a cheat.

Who doesn't like to cheat? I mean in Exams or in games, never cheat on your partner's boys, anyway, people like things to make things easier, it was the reason why there was technology, we want to make lives easier.

"Open system!"

Hikaru excitedly called out his system.

[Name: Hikaru Kagenou]

[Wealth: 300 Yen/ 2 dollars]

[Fame: 10]

[Missions in queue: 3]

'That's it?'

Hikaru thought as he looked at his system, it seemed plain compared to the systems described in the novels or anime.

"Wait, maybe, there are some cool features hidden on the missions"

Hikaru kept his hopes ups and immediately opened his missions.

[Main Mission: Recreate 1,000 games/anime/manga/songs/dance/etc from your past life, -Rewards: System Upgrade and more]

[Mission 1: Earn 5,000 Yen from recreating anything from your past life, -Rewards: Gacha System Opens,  Gacha Ticket x1]

[Mission 2: Earn 300 Fame Points from the things you recreated, -Rewards: Gacha Ticket x1]

Hikaru sighed in relief when he saw that there are somethings he could get from the system, he was excited to see what things he would get from the Gacha and also some expectations from when the system upgrades.

"But to recreate anime and games from my past life? Does this system want me to spread the sacred culture? Well, challenge accepted"

Hikaru smiled, he loved spreading what he liked the most, if he enjoys it, the others will also have to enjoy it.

"Now then, what should I make first? A song? A Game? A Manga? Ah, there's so many things to choose from"

Hikaru started thinking of what to do first, but just as he was in deep thought.

" Nii-chan! Breakfast is ready! We will be late for school!"

Hikaru suddenly heard a voice calling for him.

"I'm coming!"

Hikaru replied back then with great familiarity, he started changing his clothes into his school uniform and also cleaning himself up, after that, he left his room, today is the start of Hikaru's highschool.

The Kagenou Family is a family with 5 members, unfortunately, only 3 were left, their parents have died from an accident, now these 3 can only support each other.

"Good morning Kashima, you too Kotarou"

Hikaru smiled as he saw his two brothers, Kashima is only 14 years old and at his Junior Highschool while Kotarou is only a 3 year old baby.

"Good morning to you too Onii-chan"

"Nii nii!"

Kotarou who was playing immediately ran towards Hikaru the moment the little guy saw him, though he was clumsy he was trying his best to come towards Hikaru, Kotarou raised his hands squeezing it.

"How is my cute little brother!"

Hikaru lifted Kotarou up and gave the cute little guy a kiss on the cheeks, it has been a few days since Hikaru had come to this world and he cared a lot for his family, since their parents were gone, it was a responsibility for him to carry, and he won't ever abandon his family.

"The food is ready"

Kashima called as he finished preparing, Hikaru and Kotarou stopped playing and immediately joined the table.

"Oh? Pancakes in the morning! It's Kotarou's favorite! Come on, let's say it together!"

Hikaru smiled and looked at Kotarou who was also looking at him back with twinkling eyes.

"Thank you for the food Kashima Nii-chan! We love you!" x2

"I love you too"

"Hahaha"

This is the Kagenou Family, even though they are struggling, they are still having fun.

They then started eating, their meal always seemed fun, they were laughing and joking with each other, after their breakfast, they all prepared to leave the house, Kotarou is going with Kashima since they have a baby sitting area in their school.

While Hikaru had to go to a private school with his scholarship.

"Sorry Kashima for always letting you take care Kotarou by yourself"

Hikaru looked at Kashima who was carrying Kotarou.

"Its okay Onii-chan, you are already working just to support us and you also have to focus in school, at least, this much I could do"

Hikaru smiled helplessly and could not help but ruffle Kashima's hair.

"You have grown up"

Hikaru made sure to walk his two brothers to their school before making his way, Hikaru's school is Itan Private Highschool, Itan Private High School is an elite prep school located in Japan, Hikaru was able to get in because of his good grades and for some reason he got accepted by this school and was offered a scholarship.

Actually, there are more schools that Hikaru(Former) could go to but this is the closest one to their home so he chose it, it was also a somewhat interesting school.

The male uniform of Itan Private High School consists of navy blue blazer (worn on winter), white shirt (sleeve length depends on season), striped red-navy necktie, black pants, and dark brown shoes/

The female uniform of Itan Private High School consists of navy blue blazer (worn on winter), white shirt (sleeve length depends on season), striped red-navy bowtie, striped red-navy skirt (length varies). Legwear varies from no socks at all to full-length tights. 

It took about half an hour to reach the school by walking, while on his way, Hikaru met many students from the same school and each of them had happy expressions.

'Youth'

Hikaru thought, well, Hikaru(former) doesn't have any friends because of his gloomy appearance, his hair made him like an emo, he was wearing a winter uniform even though it was summer and glasses that made him look like a nerd, all in all, he looked like kind of a guy that has no confidence.

But in actuality, his get up is only like this because he has to hide his tattoos and piercings. The former of his body seemed to have gone through a rebellious phase or something but anyway, Hikaru kinda liked the appearance.

Hikaru reached the gates of the school when the students around him suddenly started getting restless, turning his head around, there he saw a beautiful girl, A girl with glossy dark purple/black hair that flows to her lower back, a slender body and an incredibly beautiful face.

"Yep, she is beautiful'

Hikaru could not help but agree with the others, but he didn't really pay that much attention to her, he made his way towards his shoe locker and changed his shoes.

Just as he was changing his shoe, he noticed a shadow next to him.

'Hmm, let's make friends with someone then'

"Good morning"

Hikaru said as he turned his head but when he turned his head, he saw the beautiful girl from earlier who was also changing her shoes. She turned her head and looked at him.

*Stare~

She stared at him for a long while, which made it very awkward for Hikaru, but after a while, she suddenly rushed away without saying anything.

"What was that?"

Hikaru couldn't help but be confused by what just happened, then after looking at her body language for a while, he was able to tell that she is bad with talking to other people.

Being able to read body language was something that Hikaru learned for fun in his past life, and it also greatly helped him with talking with other people from his past life and also getting connections.

He just shrugged what happened off, and maybe, try to talk with her later, maybe he could help her from her problem of having a hard time talking with other people, well, that is for later, after he finished changing his shoes, he made his way towards his classroom.

His classroom is 1-1 which means 1st year class 1, it took him quite some time to reach his classroom since he was a little bad with directions, reaching his classroom, he looked for his seat, according to the paper he received from the school, his seat is located at the 2nd row to the  back of the classroom near the window.

"Its this one"

Hikaru found his seat and sat down, he then put his bag down and decided to greet his seatmate.

"Hmm, nice to mee-"

Hikaru stopped as he looked beside him, it was the girl he had met from earlier, the one with the communication problem, he just stopped greeting her and pulled out a piece of paper.

He wrote some words into it then passed it to the girl next to him.

The girl was surprised at first then looked at him, then she took the paper and read what was written on it.

[Hi, nice to meet you, my name is Hikaru Kagenou, I will be your seatmate, I kinda know you have trouble talking with others so I decided to just write, hope we have a good year]

She stared at the paper then turned her head to Hikaru beside her, she kept turning her head back to Hikaru then to the paper for a while, before she suddenly realized something and wrote something on the back of the paper, then passed it back to Hikaru.

[Hello, nice to meet you too, my name is Komi Shouko, let's have a great year and thank you for understanding, and i'm sorry for earlier running away from you, I get frozen whenever I talk with other people, and I just suddenly stare at them or run away, i'm really sorry]

Seeing her message, Hikaru's hunch was right, he sighed with a small smile on his face before taking another new paper and writing another one and passing it to Komi.

[It's a great day isn't it?]

[Yes]

[What do you think of it?]

[It's a wonderful]

[Yes, I especially like the breeze brushing on my face, how about you?]

[I also love the feeling of the breeze]

From then on they started exchanging papers with each other, Hikaru specifically trying to continue the talk, from what he understood, this girl likes to talk to others but she is having a difficulty, so what he is doing now is helping her to get comfortable before trying to help her talk.

While they were busy exchanging with each other, Hikaru didn't notice that his classmates were staring at him full of killing intent. To them, Komi was already their goddess and Hikaru, who looked gloomy, was like a peasant talking to her.

Though no matter what they do, they can't stop it right now since their goddess Komi didn't say anything, well, even if Hikaru knew, he wouldn't care, it's not like he has ulterior motives, there is nothing wrong with trying to help somebody.

Their paper messaging continued until the teacher finally arrived, Hikaru stopped and Komi was a little sad that their conversation stopped but Hikaru made her happy with a last message with let's continue later.
