Ch 8

At this moment, Minachi Shinya's latest work has caused a stir on the internet.

"Everyone, have you seen the amazing new work 'FateZoer' recently released by the Minachi Group? It's truly fantastic. Don't miss out on this excellent piece."

"Upstairs, are you referring to that story about the Holy Grail War where you can exchange past melodies and engage in battles, set in the city of Fuyuki?"

"So, it turns out you two upstairs are also fans! Congratulations, we finally found our community."

"Do you guys upstairs only care about the battle scenes of the heroic spirits? Don't you want to know about the other characters in these storylines?"

"I genuinely feel sorry for little Sakura! Tokiomi Tohsaka is such a jerk. He's not a qualified father at all."

"Upstairs, I support your opinion. I heard there's also a Tohsaka family in Fuyuki City. Should we organize a group visit?"

"Wait a moment, gentlemen upstairs. I'm about to bring out my ancestral treasured sword."

"My ancestors specialized in pig slaughtering, and this sword is made for butchering animals."

"Count me in. Hey, guys upstairs, let's form a team. Watch me bring out my God of Fire Gatling."

"Upstairs, you're quite impressive. You even have military weapons. Why not bring out a few bombs?"

"My friend downstairs, I also have the intention, but I lack the ability. The authorities have been cracking down lately."

At this moment, a clever netizen interrupted their dangerous conversation.

"Do you all not care? The author is casually rewriting historical figures."

"For example, King Arthur, how did she become a girl in this work? And Alexander the Great, historically only 5'1" tall, why is he portrayed as a muscular man over 6 feet tall?"

This comment was made by a student who studies history.

"Upstairs, history is history, and fiction is fiction. The two shouldn't be mixed. This work is an artistic creation. If you take it too seriously, you lose."

On the internet, there are various comments, likes, dislikes, criticisms, encouragements—diverse opinions. Finally, someone spoke up.

"Does anyone know where the author lives? Damn, they started charging after I got hooked!"

"Although I'm not short of money, after paying, I realized the damn thing isn't being updated."

"One day, with a sword in hand, I will eliminate all the incomplete stories in the world."

There were also many people condemning Minachi Shinya. However, Minachi Shinya paid no mind to these comments. They had already uploaded all their works, but only one-third of them were published. The goal was to grab the attention of readers who could see these works and keep them engaged, not letting them go.

They planned to update three chapters or episodes every day.

A smirk formed on Minachi Shinya's lips. At this moment, they remembered their own past. Weren't they also tormented bit by bit, making others lose interest? They wanted others to experience that feeling!

After contemplating it, they felt a slight excitement within their heart. Should they reduce the number of updates in the future? But in the end, Minachi Shinya just pondered the idea and didn't plan to implement it. Otherwise, the angry fans would tear them apart.

Proudly, Minachi Shinya continued to observe the comments on the internet. Suddenly, they came across a comment that was quite unfavorable to them.

"While I don't know where the author is, I know where the Chairman of the Minachi Group lives. Let's threaten him to reveal the author."

"Upstairs, if that's true, quickly reveal his address."

"Currently, the Chairman of the Minachi Group is a high school student who is only 16 years old. He resides in a villa area near the Unge River, and the whole territory belongs to his family."

"Damn, what a rich kid!"

"I remember that area was originally planned as a commercial district by the Fuyuki City government. However, about ten years ago, a monster invasion occurred, and all the residents sold their houses and left, turning it into a desolate area."

"Upstairs, you're right. My family used to live there, and we witnessed everything that happened over ten years ago."

"Never mind whether it was a monster incident or not. Haven't you all noticed that there's only one household in that area now, and they've bought up the entire region?"

"Is that true, upstairs? The young master of the Minachi Group is really wealthy."

"Upstairs, I can confirm it. I was one of the construction workers in that mansion estate. Please don't ask for my name, but I am Raikagi."

Upon reading this, Minachi Shinya suddenly felt a chill down their spine. Oh no, how could they forget such an important matter? If they couldn't find the author, they would surely come for the people of the Minachi Group. Their address was completely public!

As expected, with this thought in mind, Minachi Shinya witnessed a group of people following suit.

"Let's form a group to confront the boss, demand him to reveal the author. If the author doesn't update, we won't let him leave the house."

Minachi Shinya was left speechless...

"Why do I suddenly have a feeling that I'm in trouble?"

With that in mind, Minachi Shinya could only helplessly sit on their bed. It was at this moment that the system's voice rang out once again.

System: "Congratulations, Master, on gaining 10,000 reputation and receiving 1,000 points as a reward. You currently have 1,000 points remaining. Would you like to use the reward? Shall we exchange it for another manga?"

Upon hearing the system's voice, Minachi Shinya silently nodded. They currently only had one manga in their hands, which was given as a beginner's gift by the system. With two more months until the Holy Grail War begins, they estimated they would finish updating by then. However, they wondered how the Holy Grail War would turn out with their spoilers. It was quite interesting to think about!

Moreover, the characters associated with this Holy Grail War would soon come looking for them. After all, they didn't know who the author was, but they would surely be able to find Minachi Shinya.

"Wow, the conversion ratio between points and reputation is only 10 to 1. It's a bit too little, but at least it's just the reputation of one city for a day."

"Once the Minachi Group's business expands globally in the future, I will receive even more substantial reputation, and my points will increase as well."

"By the way, didn't you mention before, System, that when my works are spread worldwide, you will open the door to another world for me?"

"And grant me the assets that belong to me in that world."

"Indeed, Host, when your company's development expands globally, the system will naturally open the door to another world for you."

"However, if it's a parallel dimension of this world, you will gain the same status and company as in this world."

"But if it's a different world, you will only receive a random industry, which could be a global enterprise or a small shop. It's uncertain."

"Currently, the Host has 1,000 points remaining and one chance to draw. Would you like to use it?"

Minachi Shinya pondered for a moment and realized that the most important thing now was to increase their chances of survival and acquire a new work while the momentum was still strong. So they asked:

"System, how should I use this chance to draw and my remaining 1,000 points to maximize my benefits?"

The system quickly provided its suggestion, "You can use the chance to draw to obtain an item or skill related to the worlds you have depicted in your works."

"As for the 1,000 points, you can use them on the Grand Roulette for one intermediate draw opportunity to acquire a new work."

Minachi Shinya thought about it and found the system's suggestion reasonable, so they followed the system's advice and started with the draw.

"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 'Eye of Karma - Rank A+.' Description: These are a pair of eyes that can see the future, granting the user the ability to observe the future and enhancing their vision. You can even see scenery up to 5 kilometers away. Improves both static and dynamic visual acuity. Insight specialized only for battle action"

The skill drawn by the system for Minachi Shinya was neither particularly good nor particularly bad. However, for Minachi Shinya at the moment, it wasn't a useful skill.

"The skill you drew doesn't seem to be of much use to me at the moment. It only slightly enhances my vision. Besides, I'm not an archer, so why would I need to see things so far away?"

"Please don't be disappointed, Host. This skill has considerable potential and the possibility of being upgraded."

"As long as the Host can draw the other two variations of Clairvoyance in the future, your current Clairvoyance can be elevated to the 'Ex' level."

"At that point, your Clairvoyance will allow you to see the past and future, and even peer into the present. Nothing, not even the river of destiny, can impede your sight."

Although the system described this skill in an impressive manner, it was still of no use to Minachi Shinya at the moment. Moreover, upgrading this skill would be a long-term investment, and there was no guarantee they would be able to draw the other variations in the future. The system was merely making a hollow promise for now.

"Alright, System, I won't bother you with this skill anymore. I don't want to discuss it further. Bring out the Grand Roulette immediately."

"I want to personally draw from the Ultimate Draw this time. No behind-the-scenes manipulation allowed."

"Understood, Host."

Soon, the system displayed a grand roulette that only Minachi Shinya could see. It was filled with excellent works from the past that Minachi Shinya had seen before.

"Pokémon Complete Collection," also known as "Pocket Monsters" or "Pokémon." The main plot revolves around Ash Ketchum, who aspires to become a Pokémon Master, embarking on a journey with his partner Pikachu. Along the way, Ash meets numerous companions, formidable rivals, and good friends, engaging in one adventure after another.

This is the first season of Pokémon, focusing on the Kanto region. It can be acquired for 1,000 points.

"Digimon Complete Collection," the main plot revolves around a parallel world called the Digital World, which has a different flow of time compared to the real world.

It tells the story of eight children, including Taichi Yagami, Yamato Ishida, and Sora Takenouchi, who accidentally enter the Digital World and embark on a fantastic adventure accompanied by their partner Digimon.

This is the first season of Digimon and can be acquired for 1,000 points.

"Fate/Grand Order," a story that unfolds around seven different time periods and seven Holy Grail Wars in an attempt to save humanity's concept.

The chapter drawn this time is "Epic of Remnant: Babylonia," which requires 1,000 points to acquire.

"System, did you just draw these three works for me? Am I supposed to choose one of them?"

"Yes, Host, you can choose one of these works to be your new release."

"The system will take responsibility for each work's development, which means that once you choose one of them..."

"The system will gradually prepare all the necessary details for that particular work."

"Please don't worry, Host. You won't have any trouble drawing related works in the future."

"You can purchase subsequent chapters by spending the corresponding points."

"For example, if you purchase Pokémon, the system will continue to release the subsequent chapters. You can buy them with points."

"Moreover, the Host can also develop corresponding industries, such as gaming peripherals."

"The system has all the relevant equipment and software, ready for you. You can acquire them with the corresponding points."

"However, when it comes to promotion, it will be up to the Host to make efforts. That's something a company president must do."

Minachi Shinya heard all the service details provided by the system and felt quite satisfied. Now they didn't have to worry that after releasing their works, they would be unable to provide the next storyline requested by fans and readers. The system had already resolved these issues. The remaining promotion would depend on their own abilities.

Moreover, the system even had all the information regarding gaming peripherals and related equipment. It seemed that in the future, Minachi Shinya wouldn't need to seek out a professional game development team. They could simply exchange them within the system and assign their subordinates to handle it.
