Light Novel

"Okay."

The clerk was a little taken aback, but his good professionalism made him take out several smartphones in girl's favorite style from the counter without stopping.

"A budget of 50,000 yen, actually can buy a lot of high-end products, but generally the screen will be bigger and the body will be a little heavier, which is not suitable for girls, especially your little sister. Cell phones are very popular even among mature women, let's see, little sister."

Finally, Mikan chooses a pink smartphone, and only then can Rito feel her girl's heart.

After paying 40,000 yen, including the cell phone card, Rito saw Mikan carefully holding the cell phone case beside her, taking it as a treasure, and said indifferently.

"Should I buy you another laptop? Isn't it boring just watching TV?"

"No! When Rito spends money, don't be extravagant!"

Mikan starts preaching, and Rito knows that the girl will refuse, so he says it's just for fun.

"Then just take it apart, these are daily necessities, not collectibles."

Mikan hesitated then took it apart, as if she was afraid that Rito would insist on buying a laptop for herself after she refused.

Rito still had 160,000 yen left, and there was about 10,000 yen from Mikan, which was the money he used to buy groceries.

He planned to give her another 60,000 yen after going home and 100,000 yen for emergencies.

There's still school fees for the new semester... He think 180,000 yen? Includes tuition and lunch. Even though the school repeatedly hints that it can reduce time, Rito turns a blind eye.

Now, he doesn't see it.

And Mikan's elementary school costs less than 100,000 yen, which is much cheaper than the high school she attends.

In order not to use force to rob, Rito has to work hard. If not, Verethragna might just break through myth and traverse worlds to fight him.

According to the efficiency of the part-time job in the past, he might have to leave early and return late in the next few days in order to earn enough tuition for the two of them and sustain life.

So Rito turned on the computer, and Mikan who had saved his number and email address in the cellphone, she also started to get to know the cellphone with curiosity.

It seems that there are no good mobile games in this world.

Understand first the light novel writing style accepted and respected by the people of this world, then recreate it according to his understanding of [Sword Art Online].

Now Rito's strength is Middle Tier Emperor. He has a terrible memory.

The volume of light novels is around 80,000 words, and some can reach over 100,000. Volumes are physical books. Generally, novelists will publish volumes quarterly. Of course, several humanoid typewriters could write multiple light novels at the same time.

Rito thought about it carefully, and found that even if he could finish coding the volume on the computer before school started, it seemed that it would take a long time to get approval from the relevant publishing company and then publish it for the manuscript fee.

Rito starts looking for a local evil group.

In the end, nothing was found. Maybe law and order was too good, or maybe it was blocked, but he accidentally discovered that Fantasia Bunko was holding a Light Novel Newcomer Award. The first prize is 2 million yen, the second prize is 1 million yen, and the third prize is 500,000 yen.

Even though it was the leader of the light novel world, Fantasia Bunko wasn't the strongest. It had been suppressed by Dengeki Bunko. Now it seems that Fantasia Bunko hopes to attract newcomers by spending money, looking for opportunities to stab her colleagues in the back.

Rito is interested.

Requirements for the Light Novel Newcomer Award are only two chapters, which is equivalent to half a volume. The ranking method is not only the approval of the editor, but also the popularity of the light novel itself.

The Grand Prize lasted for two months, and now it's been over a month. On the Fantasia Bunko website you can view the contents of the entry for free, but only two chapters. Of course, if the work is praised by readers, it will also be published when the time comes. Many people buy it, and in addition to absorbing fresh blood, it is also a kind of alternative advertising and momentum.

Fantasia Bunko was determined to stab it comrades in the back.

Currently No.1 is [Fantasy Demon Sword], and No.2 is [Dark Fairy of Explosive Flame], No.3 and No.4 and even the later works are very close. Not enough time, but Rito also thinks that [Sword Art Online] should be able to reach the third place, as to whether it can surpass the top two, Rito is not too sure. The styles were completely different, the first two were fantasy, and [Sword Art Online] had no fantasy elements other than virtual games.

So Rito uploaded a chapter of [Sword Art Online] volume 1 that he half wrote to Fantasia Bunko. It must first pass the editor's review. Many light novels are like this, and then start from starting through flashbacks. This is to attract readers, and [Sword Art Online] written by Rito is no exception.

Then wait for the results, if the editorial review fails, Rito can only use his power to find the evil group to "borrow" some money.

How long, five minutes or ten minutes?

[Sword Art Online] passed the reviews with surprising speed to Rito, and the book's title and link immediately appeared on the Fantasia Bunko Newcomer Awards page.

....

On the other hand, Machida Sonoko, the editor and chief editor of Fantasia Bunko, was looking at the light novels displayed on the computer screen in front of her with a bit of annoyance.

"Who is the author of [Sword Art Online]? Newly registered account with random number? There is no contact information, the Fantasia Bunko website registration method needs to be revised, and the author must fill in contact information. We can't let this guy with potential go to the opponent."
