Warning: Some not so happy latter half that comes out of left field because I'm saying my thoughts.

A great man once said: "When I cut my finger, is a tragedy... When you fall into a sewer and die, is a comedy." In this trail of thought, one might decide to be a sadist to their character and play it for laughs.

Not saying that angle won't work or anything. After all, Charlie Chaplin didn't get famous for no reason.

What I'm trying to say is that comedy is derived from the absurd. Things that don't normally happen is happening and no common sense is needed for the fictional characters involved since people being dumb is funny in its own right. I mean, go ask Disney for advice on writing overly dumb characters who couldn't possibly exist in real life at all.

This doesn't mean that a pure comedy needs to be all laughs though. It is becoming strangely more common to weave plot threads together in order to make even more absurd scenarios for the characters involved. I remember watching an Anime called 'Gamers!' about a group of teenagers gradually falling into the rabbit hole of misunderstandings since they wouldn't outright ask each other anything.

It was to the point that Otaku online dubbed it with the meme-like name of 'Misunderstandings: The Anime' in the face of how complicated the story was becoming because of what was happening on screen.

Just me writing the word 'absurd' twice should be enough for those reading this to understand that making it 'out there' is what's comical. Even 'Kaguya Sama- Love Is War' derived its comedy from the absurd humour that is what WOULD happen when two geniuses won't give up in trying to win over the other in their battle of over-the-top scheming.

Reactions that are so over-the-top they are comical in itself are also common to comedies. Even in those fictions that try to balance their comedy with heavier moments that were built to be tear jerkers.

However, to actually be able to overcome the hurdle of making the sadder moments impact instead of making the reader laugh, what is most needed is the inclusion of something 'mundane' in a character's life which can be subverted. There is a reason The Simpson's and other comedy tv shows go back to the status quo after a joke has ended, it is because seeing something mundane turn hilarious is subversive.

And what is comedy if not a subversion of what we are expecting? The reason everything used to laugh in high school when someone fell after another guy pulled his chair before he sat is because something even as mundane as 'sitting' didn't follow the tradition, turning into something they didn't expect.

A long comedy story needs this sense of returning to the status quo even if it has changed a little after the previous punchline. You can't always throw in punchlines without proper build up to it.

There needs to be at least some time for the characters to take in an exciting incident before the next one comes, and that is especially true when it comes to punchlines. It's just how comedy works.

Now you may be thinking of writing a character who has some funny joke that consistently happens in the story. Maybe your character keeps on falling asleep in climactic moments or maybe your comic relief has a catchy catchphrase that he always NEEDS to say.

In the case of the latter: Don't... Just don't...

As for the former, new scenarios for the same joke can lead into an even bigger joke. Bonus points if whatever the character's main joke is actually coincides with some sort of characterisation.

You can have a guy who gets angry all the time have to ACTUALLY go to anger management courses or maybe the guy who falls asleep just doesn't get any most the time due to insomnia. I know something so 'real' shouldn't be funny, but remember my earlier advice, something 'mundane' can ground the story.

To have a higher purpose than just the comedy happening itself, this sense of realism is required and can't be forgotten if you want to make stories that can have a higher impact on the audience.

Generally, you can go berserk with this kind of story since any joke is acceptable as long as they don't are not moral ambiguous and don't go at the expense of a certain group of your audience. I mean, 9/11 jokes may seem funny but we've already got to the point that the terrorism itself is not to be joked about.

On a side note: Why is it that Kyoto Animation burning down is a tragedy but people falling off buildings in 9/11 is funny? I remember a guy even adding cartoon sound to a video of people falling...

Sorry, back to the topic at hand. Your sense of humour is your own, but be sure to be sensitive to the people around you and not be a sadistic bully who takes pleasure in the suffering of others.

This is a story I worked on ages ago that has been refined and edited by adding foreshadowing to events while also simplifying the power system better than before. This story can be considered a prequel to An Adventure Beyond Greatness as it takes place years prior to the events of that story.

Short Synopsis:
After retiring from the battlefield, my life became empty and lifeless. The regrets of my past haunt me in my sleep. Then a change occurred, a King from another world summoned me to fight for his kingdom, but I died even before I could give him my answer. Now, after a fake God allowed me to reincarnate (albeit imperfectly) with my memories intact, into a world filled with magic and swords.

Long Synopsis:
This is about a flawed protagonist who only knew to rely on others and not socialise who gets a second chance to change himself in order to live the life he aimed for in his past life. The narrator isn’t exactly trustworthy since it is purely in his bias perspective while other perspectives given by others fill in the blanks that he either leaves out or twists to suit the situation.

The story itself can be considered a parody of Isekai’s classic tropes which are given a sense of reality as time goes by. As there exists no ‘Demon Lord’, there is also no black and white, only characters opinions and counter-opinions throughout the story.

Itu sudah pertengahan Desember, dan cuaca di Jepang menjadi sangat dingin.

Atsuhiro memakai jaket tebal itu lagi dan membungkus dirinya dengan erat. Megumi, Eriri dan Utaha juga tidak berbeda.

Sebuah poster besar tergantung di tengah jalan perbelanjaan.

"Episode terakhir Puella Magi Madoka Magica akan segera disiarkan, dan semua jenis periferal sedang diobral!"

Ada kalimat yang tertulis di posternya. Gambar tersebut adalah trailer di akhir episode sebelumnya. Lingkaran kecil dengan sayap putih di punggungnya tersenyum, dan memancarkan kecemerlangan lembut seperti seorang dewi, sehingga setiap orang yang lewat di sini berhenti. Mendongak dan melihatnya dengan kagum.

"Indah sekali ..."

"Bukankah, ini seperti musim semi!"

Di jalan, banyak orang mengambil ponsel dan kamera untuk mengambil foto poster ini, dan yang lainnya mulai berbicara dengan ceria.

Di bulan Desember yang dingin ini, tidak ada yang menyangka poster sebesar itu akan muncul di jalan perbelanjaan. Nada merah muda dan suasana lembut poster menghilangkan dinginnya seluruh jalan dan membuat orang seolah-olah kembali ke musim semi, seluruh tubuh dipenuhi dengan suasana hati yang hangat dan indah.

"Sungguh poster yang besar, apa yang sebenarnya A-kun lakukan ..."

"Benar-benar luar biasa ..."

"Atsuhiro-kun sepertinya benar-benar serius kali ini."

Sulit untuk mengatakan bahwa Megumi, Eriri dan Utaha yang sedang berbelanja, melihat poster itu dengan tercengang, poster ini lebih besar dari rumah mereka, jadi bagaimana bisa muncul di sini.

"Lihatlah kata-kata iklan di poster. Ini seharusnya menjadi iklan untuk lingkungan sekitar." Kata Utaha sambil melihat kearah poster.

Eriri mengambil kata-kata Utaha, dan dia melihat poster itu dengan heran. Meskipun itu mungkin bukan hasil karya Atsuhiro, terlihat jelas bahwa poster-poster tersebut juga dibuat oleh sekelompok pelukis dengan keterampilan melukis yang luar biasa.

"Poster ini dapat dilihat di beberapa jalan perbelanjaan yang ramai di Tokyo, serta stasiun kereta bawah tanah ..." Utaha melanjutkan, "Tampaknya tidak hanya di Tokyo, tetapi juga di tempat-tempat ramai di kota-kota besar lainnya. Aku mendengar dari Atsuhiro-kun bahwa dia ingin menggunakan Puella Magi Madoka Magica untuk memperluas batasan industri di sekitarnya."

Megumi terkejut sebelum berkata, "Apa arti dari kalimat itu?" 

Dia sangat asing dengan kata ini, bahkan kebanyakan orang biasa merasa asing.

"Periferal yang ada di poster itu bicarakan mengacu pada produk lain yang dikembangkan seputar perusahaan anime dan manga."

Utaha menjelaskan bahwa periferal adalah istilah kolektif, termasuk periferal keras hias seperti kapsul, model, dan action figure, serta beberapa periferal lunak dengan sifat yang berguna termasuk alat tulis, pakaian, gantungan kunci, dan rantai ponsel.

Sementara Industri anime di Jepang telah berkembang selama beberapa tahun, perkembangan perangkatnya sangat terbatas. Tujuan Tokyo Movie Animation kali ini adalah mengandalkan Puella Magi Madoka Magica untuk memperluas pasar periferal.

"Periferal adalah masa depan industri anime dan komik ..."

Di perusahaan anime terbesar, Antechinus, Daisuke sedang duduk di kantor, melihat poster besar yang diunggah di internet.

"Sekarang semua perusahaan animasi fokus pada komik dan animasi, tetapi kedua hak cipta ini adalah jauh lebih berharga. Jauh lebih kecil daripada sekitarnya. Jika lingkungan berkembang, nilai yang diciptakannya akan berkali-kali lipat, bahkan puluhan kali lipat, dari majalah komik dan animasi! "

"Ada poster di semua kota besar, dan aksi Tokyo Movie Animation sangat besar, itu pasti nyata!"

Hal ini membuat Daisuke bahagia sekaligus khawatir, ia khawatir jika Tokyo Movie Animation berhasil, persaingan antara kedua perusahaan akan semakin besar.

Kabar baiknya adalah jika Tokyo Movie Animation berhasil, kemungkinan besar akan menjadi peristiwa besar dalam sejarah animasi, yang akan sangat bermanfaat bagi perusahaan animasi lain, terutama Antechinus.

Apa yang disebut permulaan dari segalanya itu sulit, dan alasan mengapa sulit untuk mengembangkan komik adalah karena pembaca belum membentuk gagasan membeli periferal ini.

Namun, begitu Tokyo Movie Animation berhasil menjual sejumlah besar produk periferal, membiarkan pembaca mengetahui manfaat periferal, dan bahkan mengembangkan sekelompok penggemar untuk membentuk efek, pembaca juga akan tertarik pada periferal animasi lain.

Antechinus Company, sebagai salah satu raksasa animasi besar di Jepang, juga dapat menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk mengembangkan bisnis periferalnya sendiri.

Oleh karena itu, Daisuke merasa sangat rumit, dia tidak ingin membuat Perusahaan Tokyo Movie Animation berhasil, tetapi juga mengharapkan mereka untuk membuka celah penjualan bagi penikmat animasi dan komik.

"Aku telah meminta orang untuk menyelidiki, dan iklan mereka kali ini diperkirakan melebihi 1 miliar yen."

Nimura mengambil ponsel dan melihat informasi di dalamnya dan berkata, "Tidak hanya Tokyo, tetapi kota-kota tingkat kedua dan ketiga lainnya telah menyebarkan iklan. Dikatakan bahwa banyak perusahaan dan stasiun TV berhubungan dengan mereka. Apa yang kamu katakan mungkin benar ... Mereka benar-benar bergerak. Ini lebih dari sekadar biaya animasi."

Investasi iklan 1 miliar, ini membuat Daisuke terdiam, Puella Magi Madoka Magica belum menggunakan 1 miliar sejak produksinya.

Sungguh menakjubkan menghabiskan 1 miliar hanya untuk mempromosikannya ketika karya itu akan segera berakhir.

"Tidak, sekarang waktu yang tepat menghabiskan 1 miliar ..."

Daisuke sekarang mengerti mengapa Tokyo Movie Animation akan memilih untuk beriklan saat ini karena saat ini tepat. Anime akan segera berakhir, dan popularitasnya sangat tinggi.

Menghadapi anime yang begitu tinggi, pengiklan harus dengan senang hati bekerja sama dan menghabiskan lebih sedikit uang untuk berbagai promosi dan saluran.

Promosi 1 miliar yen sekarang pasti lebih dari promosi di lain waktu.

"Apakah menurutmu mereka akan berhasil?" Daisuke bertanya pada Nimura.

Nimura memikirkannya, sejauh ini, industri periferal di industri komik Jepang belum bangkit. Jadi jika Tokyo Movie Animation ingin membuka lingkungan, anime adalah kuncinya.

Hanya mahakarya yang diakui oleh semua orang yang dapat membuat orang bersedia membayar untuk perangkat yang tidak dikenal, dan Puella Magi Madoka Magica sangat memenuhi kualitasnya ...

"Anime ini lahir untuk menjual periferal!"

Nimura berpikir dengan hati-hati, dan segera berkeringat dingin.

Fitur terbesar dari Puella Magi Madoka Magica adalah semua karakter di dalamnya luar biasa. Lima gadis Penyihir dan satu Kyubey. Ceritanya pada dasarnya dideskripsikan di sekitar enam karakter ini. Gambar dari setiap karakter sangat menonjol, semakin banyak gambarnya menonjol, bukankah lebih cocok untuk membuat periferal untuk dijual?

Tidak ada keraguan bahwa anime ini saat ini adalah karya terbaik untuk dibayar orang, Puella Magi Madoka Magica sudah memiliki banyak penonton setia. Setelah episode terakhir, efeknya mungkin lebih besar. Kemajuan Tokyo Movie Animation mungkin akan berhasil.

"1 miliar yen untuk iklan ..." Mengingat biaya iklan yang disebutkan oleh Nimura barusan, Daisuke sampai pada kesimpulan dan berkata, "Ini akan berhasil ... ini adalah langkah terbesar Tokyo Movie Animation di pada tahun ini setelah menemukan Mangaka jenius sebagai bos. Mereka harus telah membuat persiapan agar menjadi salah satu perusahaan raksasa."

Bahkan jika Antechinus menghentikan mereka, Tokyo Movie Animation pasti telah mengambil tindakan untuk menghadapinya. Apalagi, Puella Magi Madoka Magica sudah tidak bisa dihentikan lagi!

....

Di akhir episode Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Perusahaan Tokyo Movie Animation meluncurkan publisitas terbesarnya tahun ini.

Publisitas ini tersebar di seluruh penjuru Jepang, menyebar dengan dahsyat dan menyebar ke setiap kota besar dengan populasi satu juta, ditambah popularitas tinggi yang dibudidayakan oleh Puella Magi Madoka Magica itu sendiri, hanya dalam beberapa hari.

Dan dalam waktu ini, puluhan jutaan orang tahu tentang rilis Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Media berseru bahwa ini adalah keajaiban. Tidak pernah ada perusahaan anime yang akan membuat iklan berskala besar untuk lingkungan sekitar. Pendekatan Tokyo Movie Animation benar-benar mengejutkan.

Yang lebih mengejutkan adalah bahwa kumpulan periferal pertama dirilis pada hari ketika Puella Magi Madoka Magica berakhir. Anime tersebut secara resmi dirilis di Internet setelah disiarkan.

Setelah episode terakhir anime ditayangkan, perangkat periferal Puella Magi Madoka Magica akan dijual secara online, tetapi hanya 500.000 set yang dijual secara online. Penjualan offline juga akan dilakukan di berbagai bagian Jepang yang bertanggung jawab untuk penjualan adalah Gashapon Departmen Store yang terletak di Ikebukuro dan beberapa Toko besar lainnya.

Toko perusahaan ini telah merambah ke kota-kota lapis ketiga dan dapat menjamin jangkauan sebagian besar orang.

"Yang dijual secara online adalah 500.000. Bahkan jika beberapa Toko Mainan terkenal hanya memiliki seratus set di setiap toko, Tokyo Movie Animation telah menyiapkan lebih dari lima atau enam juta periferal."

Setelah beberapa kalkulasi sederhana, beberapa reporter menemukan bahwa jumlah periferal yang disiapkan oleh Tokyo Movie Animation sangat mencengangkan.

Lima atau enam juta set periferal lebih banyak dari semua periferal anime dari gabungan tiga tahun sebelumnya. Bisakah ini benar-benar laku?

"Mustahil!"

Tidak banyak orang yang percaya bahwa ini akan berhasil. Meskipun Puella Magi Madoka Magica memang sangat populer, tampaknya luar biasa untuk menjual begitu banyak periferal di pasar yang belum dijelajahi. Tetapi angka ini menjelaskan pertanyaan lain, yaitu mengapa Tokyo Movie Animation harus menunggu sampai akhir penjualan.

Dengan anime berskala besar, keluaran Tokyo Movie Animation tidak bisa mengimbangi, dan mereka butuh waktu untuk stok.

Namun, selama periode inventaris, iklannya tersebar di semua tempat, dan semua orang mengetahuinya. Perusahaan Antechinus dan lainnya tidak membuat hambatan apa pun, dan bahkan ruang iklan di Jepang diberikan kepada Perusahaan Tokyo Movie Animation.

Ini adalah kesimpulan yang didapat Daisuke setelah memikirkannya selama sehari. Puella Magi Madoka Magica sudah terbakar. Bahkan jika diblokir, itu tidak berguna. Lebih baik menggunakan kesempatan ini untuk melihat seberapa banyak perusahaan Tokyo Movie Animation bermain. Jika kebuntuan di pasar sekitarnya dibuka, perusahaan Antechinus juga akan dapat bergerak maju.

Pasar sekitarnya berkembang, dan penerima manfaat terbesar adalah Tokyo Movie Animation, diikuti oleh Antechinus. Antechinus juga memiliki kelebihan, basis penikmat anime dan komik mereka tidak kalah dengan Tokyo Movie Animation, dan mereka memiliki dana yang kuat.

Jika area sekitarnya bisa berkembang, bisa menjadi medan pertempuran baru bagi Antechinus dan Tokyo Movie Animation. Tidak bisa dipastikan siapa yang menang dan kalah.

Tidak hanya Antechinus, perusahaan anime besar lainnya juga terkejut dengan langkah Tokyo Movie Animation.

Terutama Tamaki, yang bisa dikatakan saingan Puella Magi Madoka Magica di awal bulan November.

.....

Beberapa hari berlalu dalam sekejap, dan itu adalah hari dimana episode keduabelas Puella Magi Madoka Magica disiarkan.

Pagi-pagi sekali, setelah Daisuke bangun untuk mandi, dia duduk di meja makan dan sarapan.

"Maki, nyalakan TV."

Dia menyuruh istrinya untuk menyalakan TV. Daisuke terbiasa menonton berita pagi TV Tokyo saat sarapan. Setiap kali dia selesai membaca berita, itu kebetulan waktu kerjanya.

Istrinya menyalakan TV dengan terampil, dan Daisuke menontonnya sambil makan. Di awal berita, sama seperti biasanya. Tidak ada hal besar yang terjadi akhir-akhir ini.

Hampir sama jika kamu tidak menontonnya. Namun, ketika berita itu setengah jalan, Daisuke tercengang, sebuah iklan untuk Puella Magi Madoka muncul di berita.

"Hari ini, akan ditayangkan episode terakhir dari Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Sahabatku ..."

Tak heran jika TV Tokyo News mengiklankan Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Bahkan, perusahaan Antechinus sudah beberapa kali memasang iklan di TV Tokyo, dan ini bukan kali pertama Puella Magi Madoka Magica muncul di berita TV Tokyo. Itu di posting sekali di awal siaran, dan dalam beberapa hari terakhir, untuk memperkuat efek iklan, pratinjau akhir animasi juga muncul di jaringan berita.

Dari akhir episode terakhir hingga saat ini, banyak stasiun TV, termasuk TV Tokyo telah mengiklankan Puella Magi Madoka Magica dan efeknya sangat luar biasa.

Daisuke menerima laporan perkiraannya kemarin. Terpengaruh oleh iklan ini, itu disiarkan hari ini rating dari Fallen Hero akan turun lebih dari 20% dari episode sebelumnya.

Rating episode terakhir Fallen Hero sangat rendah, dan rasio saat ini bahkan lebih dilebih-lebihkan, yang setara dengan setengah dari level normalnya.

Ini berarti bahwa saat episode terakhir Puella Magi Madoka Magica disiarkan, semua animasi lain dengan panggung yang sama di Jepang akan kehilangan setidaknya setengah dari penonton.

Tetapi ini tidak mengherankan, Daisuke telah mempersiapkannya sejak lama.

Kemudian, dia terkejut melihat bahwa berita hari ini berbeda dari masa lalu. Berita pagi ini sebenarnya menyiarkan wawancara TV Tokyo satu menit dengan April Freeze. Dalam wawancara satu menit ini, April Freeze dengan jelas menyatakan bahwa ending Puella Magi Madoka Magica akan sangat luar biasa mengharukan.

"Mengharukan? Apa kau yakin itu tidak menyebabkan depresi?" pembawa acara bertanya dengan ragu,  "April-sensei, mengharukan dan depresimu sulit dibedakan. Jangan bohongi kami, bisakah anda menulis dua kata ini kepada kami?"

"Tentu saja!" Di TV, Atsuhiro menulis kata 'memharukan' di atas kertas, dan kemudian berkata, "Meskipun suasana awal dari anime ini cenderung gelap, endingnya hangat dan mengharukan. Harap yakinlah ... "

Berita itu disiarkan di sini. Tidak ada pratinjau dari episode terakhir dalam wawancara, dan fokusnya adalah pada kata 'mengharukan' yang dikatakan Atsuhiro.

Daisuke terkejut, "Ternyata itu adalah akhir yang mengharukan ..."

Karena lukisan pratinjau sebelumnya, dia merasa bahwa endingnya harus sangat memuaskan, tetapi setelah Atsuhiro secara pribadi mengaku, dia masih merasa kosong di hatinya.

Setelah sebelas episode, anime yang menyedihkan dan suram ini dapat diputarbalikkan dalam satu episode. Kemampuan untuk memanipulasi plot ini sangat luar biasa sehingga tidak ada seorang pun di Jepang yang dapat melakukan ini.

Dan begitu berita ini disiarkan, penayangan Puella Magi Madoka Magica pasti akan meningkat!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Saya masih pemula dalam menulis jadi jangan berharap terlalu banyak.

Tapi nggak ada salahnya kalian baca kan?

Dan untuk update chapter terbaru, itu nggak menentu.

The lamplight was on and in the front of her small desk mirror was a picture of Zu and her family.

    Around her room hung pictures of Zu and her sister when they were little. A knock hit the door. As Zu turned around, Kyoto poked her head through the small crack.

    "I thought you were going to sleep?" she asked. Zu nodded and turned back to her desk.

    In front of her was a math book and a paper with all her notes on it. Zu began writing again as Kyoto closed the door and jumped on the bed. "Bruh! You are wasting so much sleep writing on a piece of paper!" Kyoto says. Zu nodded and turned the math book page.

    "I want to keep my grades up!" Zu replied. They were speaking Chinese. "I have good grades and I stay on my phone!" Kyoto replied. Zu shook her head. "You get other people to do your work for you. What are you going to do for the finals?" Zu asked. "I don't have to do the finals this year. Already finished my testing. I graduate with you. I'm just in school for nothing!"

    Zu shook her head and wrote some more. "Thank you for helping me earlier!" Zu thanked.

    Kyoto lifted her head off the white pillow and nodded. "I don't know why you're scared of Jackson. He's legit a few inches shorter than you. And you're 5'0 in height," Kyoto replied.

    Zu turned to her. "I can't fight. I only do a little tennis, track, and study. My arms are noodles!" Zu smiled.

    "I know! I live with you, idiot!" Kyoto added. Zu stuck the finger at Kyoto then turned back to the paper. "Shut ya ugly ass up!" Kyoto came through. She laid her head back on the pillow and closed her eyes. "Sometimes I wish I had some powers," Zu mumbled.

    "Speaking of powers! I saw something on the internet about a new hero test subject that was coming out. They called it Quantum.

    Zu moved to the side as Kyoto jumped off the bed and opened Zu's laptop. Since Zu and Kyoto were so close, Zu let Kyoto have her password. "I swear if you show me a picture of heroes from the movies, Imma bite your titty off," Zu threatened. "You nasty." Kyoto smiled and looked up. "That came out not expected," she added.

    Kyoto chuckled and began typing faster than Zu could read. Kyoto pressed enter and a person came up. Not a hero, but a man in a tuxedo. Around him was a news article about him and what he was known for doing.

    Zu began reading and was intrigued by what she saw. His name is Shah Siko. "He's dope, isn't he? I found him yesterday. You know those superhuman people in the military? He's the one who gave them those powers. Special use only. Any other use, you'd be put in prison. That's so cool. Apparently, he's making Quantum. His biggest project yet. Says to have the powers of Buddha and God themselves. Well, what I heard." Kyoto scrolled down.

    Zu was just listening. Zu then pointed. At the bottom right corner were small letters. Smaller than the other fonts.
    
"Still looking for testers." It read.

    "You can't go and test for them! You have to have a license. Plus, it's in the capital of Taiwan. Dad won't take you!" Kyoto kept scrolling.

    Zu shook her head. "If I did go, would you snitch?" Zu asked. Kyoto looked to Zu with a fake confused face. "What's a snitch?" Kyoto asked. Kyoto hated being called a snitch. Kyoto never snitched. No matter the problem.

    "Great! You're coming with me!" Zu demanded. Kyoto went wide-eyed. "You're dumb. We're Asian!" Kyoto nearly yelled. Zu looked to Kyoto while closing the laptop. "So what if we're Asian?" Zu asked. Kyoto looked Zu dead in the eyes. "That's some white people shit! Only white people got those powers! Every single person that tested was white! Asian people watch anime, but we're not dumb enough to risk our lives to be like an anime character. Asian people just like to eat with sticks, be blind, get in car wrecks, and make Alaskan husky soup!" Kyoto raised her voice.

    Zu's jaw dropped. "You're racist!" Zu replied. Kyoto put her hands out to her side. "How?" she asked.

    Zu got into the bed leaving the desk lamp on as she always does when she's getting ready to go to sleep. "You're going to snitch, aren't you?" Zu asked. Kyoto made a straight face.

    "Stop calling me a snitch! I'm not a snitch! It's not me who's going to be an anime character when you're done. Imma just eat popcorn while you're in a little box being the character of your dreams!" Kyoto added. Zu put her hands behind her head looking to the ceiling.

    Kyoto got next to Zu since they had to share the same room. They're only sharing because they had company living with them for a month or two.

    Kyoto and Zu shared Zu's room. Tasha and Damion shared Kyoto's room, Juan slept on the couch, and Tinto and Chie slept in their own room.

    "And don't grind your teeth when you're sleeping today! Shit is annoying," Kyoto randomly said. Zu rolled her eyes. "You probably was masturbating! If you do, Imma make our cat piss in your breakfast!" Zu replied.

    "I actually get some d-" before Kyoto finished, Tasha came in. Kyoto sat up with a fake smile. "Hey!" Kyoto says. Tasha looked concerned. 
Kyoto and Zu looked at each other. "Nevermind that! You guys better go to sleep! You guys have school tomorrow!" Tasha told them.

    "Yes, ma'am! Thank you!" Zu replied. Kyoto bowed her head to Tasha as Juan came in bowing his head.

    Juan closed the door and turned to Zu. "You better not mess this up! He looks like he has a horse di-" before Kyoto finished, Juan opened the door again. "I'll wake you guys up!" he informed them.

    Kyoto nodded and Zu nodded while still lying down. Juan closed the door and Kyoto lied down. "I'm not even going to say anything else. I can't even get a dirty sentence out of my mouth before someone opens the door! They're doing that on purpose!" Kyoto mumbled.

    Zu got up turning off the desk lamp. "Night!" she says. Kyoto turned to the wall and almost instantly fell asleep.

Symbiotes were killed off by their cousins. The human race called these things Ophelias. A strong being that takes a human and makes them its host. Zu Kami was forced to be one while her sister suffered a far more dangerous power. Both forced to protect their small city from ones that hold a similar situation.

It was night when he heard many people shouting their names, awakening him.
"Artorias! Ruth!" They yelled out.
Artorias quickly went up the ladder he made to peek on what's happening on the surface, and saw many of his previous fellow villagers holding torches to light up their way. As fast as he could without making any noise, he covered their entrance with some dried up leaves to cover it and then blew out the candle inside their base so that no one would be able to find them.
(Artorias POV)
How did they know that we ran to this mountain!? That's impossible, unless… my mother told them. Yes, that's a possibility. But even then, while she knows that we have a secret base in the mountain, she doesn't know the exact location. If we just keep quiet until they leave the mountain, then we will be fine. I promised to protect Ruth, I'm not backing down now. Damn those beasts of the church! I'll slaughter them with the new strength I receive from the creator when I have the chance!
I immediately woke up Ruth. She looked still sleepy but I covered her mouth and said, "People from the village are searching for us, we need to stay quiet for now. We'll leave the moment they leave the foot of the mountain. We'll go to Leiron Village, which is 5 mountains from our village. I heard they have an Adventurer's Guild there, I could join the guild and earn money for the both of us while, at the same time, train myself. They are also protected by the Kingdom of Sorcery since the son of the Village Chief is a Tier-4 Sorcerer, so the church won't be able to reach us there. What do you say?"
Ruth nodded with a smile and said, "I'm fine wherever we go, as long as I'm with you, Artorias."
I hugged her, and with a smile that resembles hers, I said, "Thank you, Ruth. Just those words are enough to back me up."
I let go of her and stared at her for a moment, before I immediately got to packing our stuff. We worked together to pack our stuff in the leather bags that we made ourselves some time ago after hunting a deer for its skin. But even then, these leather bags are not that big and we could only carry so much. So, the only thing we packed were the food and a sharp knife for Ruth, in case some situation pops up.
The food we had could only last us in less than 3 days, and travelling to Leiron Village would take about a month or so. I will have to hunt some animals to cook and eat while we're travelling. Then there are monsters in the mountains that could kill us, but we only have to worry little about that because we'll be going around the mountains so that we could avoid the deeper parts of the mountains, which houses hundreds of different species of monsters. Some of those species have the bloodline of the legendary dragons, and every creature that has the tiniest drop of a dragon's blood can become legends among legends. That is how powerful those legendary creatures are.
The moment the sun rose, the people from the village retreated back to their respective homes due to tiredness from searching for the children all night long.
Ruth and I each took 4 hours of sleep so that we won't be tired from today's journey. The instant we noticed that there were no villagers searching for us anymore, we immediately went to the surface and then took the way towards the Leiron Village.
We knew that this would be a long and difficult journey, but we believe that we can survive this. If we couldn't, we would never be able to survive the rest.
As we tread around the mountain, we knew that we would never be able to return into our village. This is our first step into our freedom, into our peace. For Ruth, I will burn down the church and reclaim our peaceful life.
No matter who stands in my way, I will cut them apart.

(Scene Change)
"Meh, too boring." Hikaru said while lazily lying sideways with the remote in his hand, pointing at the TV in front of him.
"Too dark and gritty for my taste, I want something more mature and have some sex vibes, like those American movies where they show tits. Maybe I should make this world an only female's world? That would be sexy, and then I'll make all of the women as beautiful as my dearest wives! Nah, too much work and they would self-destruct on their own because there won't be a man. I'll just endure watching anime shows."
As he said that, he suddenly had an enlightenment, "What if I fund the most famous anime studio to make good anime shows for me? I can certainly do that! Then, they'll be able to release episodes faster than before! Good idea, Hikaru!" He patted himself on the back for having this "brilliant" idea.
He stood up and cleared up the place with a single snap of his fingers, before leaving the dimension he created, thus leaving the little planet completely alone. But he forgot to do one thing, and that is fixing the time in the small solar system he created.
You see, to watch Artorias's life, he had to turn off the [525,600 in 1 Minute] thing. Basically, he forgot to turn on the [1 Minute is 1 Year] thing on that world, thus the little planet will rotate around its sun the same time Earth does. Which means, if Hikaru returns to inspect the little planet again in a few days, only a few days would have passed in the little planet also.
Since Hikaru has a short temper right now due to the darkness he absorbed from Chaortos a year back, he will be pissed when he realizes what he just forgot to do.
(Scene Change)
The moment he got back to Japan, he called upon the 5 Council to fund the most popular anime studio with 5 billion dollars to pump a lot of anime shows for him. The 05 Council had no choice but to do that, and after half-an-hour of discussing the deal with the current president of the said studio, who introduced himself as President Ryohei Takahashi. They returned to him and said that the president of the studio must know his tastes for anime, so that they could make it for him.
He said, "I want an anime with lots of depths, good animation, a bit edgy kind, characters that have proper developments throughout the series, oh, oh, and use a lot of gore when somebody dies. Don't, and never, censor it, or I'll be bankrupting their entire studio with lots of sue allegations that the people will definitely believe. And also, have lots of nudes in the anime. I don't care if it becomes hentai, just make sure to broadcast it everywhere, so that others can watch it too. And tell him to not worry about some officials going crazy over this, I'll silence them all. Got it?"
"Yes, sir. I'll tell him what you said right now with extreme accuracy." A child's voice could be heard from the phone. This is the child prodigy who secretly found a way to create the elixir of immortality back in medieval times. When he was born, he could already talk and think for himself. He found out that the people around him were weird, at least to him, so he never talked to any of them and became known as mute. Neglected by his parents, he burned down his entire village with corrosive oil that burned wider than any oil. He made that oil when he was five.
His name is Deimon Answerus, and he has been alive for more than hundreds of years and still looked like a child. While the elixir immortality was worth it, at the age of 13, he killed hundreds of millions of people just to claim their souls for his own selfish desires. That's right, he was the one who made the rats spread the bubonic plague, which was named "The Black Death''. He did that to create the "elixir of immortality", which just absorbed the life force of every soul he sacrificed to it. One soul gave him two years' worth of life force, and imagine that he claimed millions of souls for this sick and twisted desire of his.
Anyway, he's immortal, incredibly smart, and joined the 05 Council many years ago. He is currently Hikaru's slave.
After explaining the things Hikaru said to President Takahashi, the president immediately agreed, since Deimon showed him what he could do to his studio with a little bit of magic trick, using nothing but a small phone. He hacked the entire studio, that's what he did.
Soon, the president could only nod at the orders of Hikaru. While some of the things he asked were difficult to do, they would be able to do it for the sake of that money. Just a percent of that amount could make any of them live the rest of their lives in some luxury house.
But the president knew that double crossing this "Hikaru" person would kill his business, and by extension, him.
After that, Hikaru went to some nearby hotel called "Kyoto Sirzechs Hotel". Just the name was a clue of who owns this hotel. Anyway, he didn't really care and just went inside to check in one of the VIP Rooms in the hotel, only to find out they were full.
He asked the hotel clerk why, and she just said, "The owner of the hotel went to have a vacation along with his family and friends in the VIP Rooms. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience."
Holding the urge to wipe this country off the map, Hikaru forced a smile and took out a case full of cash, around 1,000,000 dollars, then whispered to her, "Convince your boss to open a VIP Room and I'll give you this money."
But the clerk only held a stoic face in front of such a large sum, and said, "I'm sorry, but money doesn't matter to us. If you would like, we would offer you a hotel room close to the luxurious designs of the VIP Rooms."
Hikaru was surprised for a moment when she refused his offer, when he realized that he was talking to a devil. He saw that all of the staff here are devils, which means human money doesn't matter to them. They are already getting paid much more by the devils they work for.
But he has a backup plan for this kind of situation. If you can't bribe them with money, then you can bribe them with something else.
Behind his back was his left hand, and in his hand grew a blue fruit excluding an aura of mana. It was concealed to everyone, except for the female clerk.
He handed the fruit in front of the table, and he said, "I know you devils like this fruit because I have studied your genes with magic and whatnot to make this fruit that will instantly make you hunger for it. This will boost the mana inside you and make your magic stronger."
The female clerk was the only one able to see the fruit, and no one other than her could see it. When she laid her eyes on that fruit, she knew she had to have it as soon as possible. Something inside her was screaming for her to grab it and eat it as fast as possible, but due to the effects of her training, she was able to control herself.
She still held a stoic face while she said out loud for everyone to hear, "Sir, please get out of our establishment. You are not allowed to bribe employees here, and this is our first and last warning; leave."
Now he is really considering whether he should wipe Kyoto off Japan's map, or let it live to see another day. This clerk purposely said that out loud to embarrass him, which is now her second biggest mistake. Her first mistake was refusing his offer.
The people in the lobby of the hotel all looked at him because of what the clerk said. He's barely holding the urge to massacre everyone in this establishment. But he still had another option, and that is hypnotism.
He didn't even need to do anything. Just a quick look at her eyes, she immediately went dazed and became engulfed in his hypnotism magic.
This magic of his is just like geass from that anime, Code Geass. A single look of his eyes can hypnotize anyone weaker than him, but it cannot hypnotize anything that has no mind of its own. He can rewrite anyone's mind with this magic ability and plant a new set of memories that will make them absolutely loyal to him. But he really can't call this "hypnotism" due to that latter fact, it's more like deleting someone's memories and replacing it with fakes.
Maybe the name "Delete and Rewrite" is more fitting for this ability.
He made this because of no apparent reason, at all. This is a fun ability to use. Imagine if a galactic warlord sees his army bowing down to the opposite party, that would be a hilarious sight to see.  
Anyway, now this clerk is loyal to him and would forever do anything for him.
"Now, go call your boss. I'll talk to him myself." He ordered.
The clerk only nodded numbly, "As you wish, master."
She dialed some numbers to the nearest telephone, and when it rang, she gave it to Hikaru.
He grabbed the phone and waited as it rang, then after a few seconds, someone picked it up.
A female teen's voice could be heard, "Hello, who is this?"
Hikaru then replied with, "Ah, could you bring that telephone to someone called, Sirzechs Lucifer? I want to talk to him, please."
"Okay." The teen replied, then he heard her say, "Lucifer-sama, someone wants to talk to you." He heard the phone being handed to someone.
"Hello, this is Sirzechs, who is this?"
"I'm Hikaru, I want to stay in a VIP Room but I heard you and your family have taken them all. I'm not a party pooper, I just want a good place to stay in. Money is not a problem."
"I'm sorry, but I cannot give one to you because all of them have been occupied by other family friends. But you can still check in some good rooms we have, there are many of them still vacant."
Why can't everyone just cooperate quietly?
"I'm not requesting for the room; I am demanding it. Can't you guys just share a room?"
Sirzechs frowned, and said through the phone, "Please don't be rude, I'm trying to be as respectful as possible. We really don't have any VIP Rooms available at the moment, please just pick a normal hotel room. It's best for the both of us that way."
More and more, Hikaru got irritated and finally had enough.
"Fine, I'll just buy the entire hotel."
He immediately hung up on Sirzechs and threw the phone away, then took out his own phone. He called upon the 05 Council again, and said, "Deimon, buy the Kyoto Sirzechs Hotel! And yes, right now! I want it in less than a minute."
Deimon, still calm and collected, replied, "Affirmative, sir. But can you extend the time to 10 Minutes? We just investigated the hotel and it's harder to crack than other hotel companies. If you want to own the hotel, it'll take 10 Minutes, but if you want to bankrupt it, then that will take around 1 Minute at most."
Hikaru thought about it for a moment, and finally said, "Strip it of everything. I realized that this hotel doesn't really have any value to me. Bankrupt it until it no longer makes any money, and find any hotels around the world that have the same owner, and make them all swim in trillions of debts."
The people around him looked at him as if he was some kind of lunatic, but in the end, they just ignored him, thinking he was just some crazy individual. He left after a few minutes, and then everything went haywire. The electricity in the entire building went out, the water was cut off, and hundreds of people that checked in the hotel suddenly went down to the lobby to check out.
It didn't even take an hour for the entire hotel to become an abandoned building. The employees were all that's left in the building along with the current owners of the hotel.
Meanwhile, Sirzechs sat dumbly on his sofa as he looked at his phone. The hotels and establishments he built around the world were all stripped of everything. Not even a single penny was left. And not only that, he is also trillions of dollars in debt. His human money was being drained from his numerous bank accounts all around the world, it was as if some mysterious force was taking everything from him.
Then, he realized something, "Does this have to do with the man who demanded a VIP Room earlier?"
While this isn't that big of a problem, it is still problematic that an unknown being had drained him of all his money… human money, at least. He still has most of his money back in the devil's world. But even then, how could someone go as far as bankrupting hundreds of famous companies all over the world because they were rejected for a hotel room? How petty is that guy?
Grayfia sat next to him while laying down the tray that has two cups of coffee on the table, and said, "Should I hunt down the one who did this?"
He shook his head, "No, you shouldn't. You almost died a year ago. The man who almost killed you back then might still be in the devil world, that's why I decided to throw father's birthday in the human world and not in the devil world. But I didn't think something like this would happen, is it possible that the man who attacked you was also the one who did this? I don't know a single person that would do something like this."
"I don't know, but whoever did this might be a strong being. No one can do this kind of thing in less than an hour, not even us." She said.
"Yes, that's why we need to find the one who did this as soon as possible. The security camera footage from earlier didn't contain any of his image, it was as if he was never there. Everyone at the lobby at that time forgot who he is, and doesn't even have an image of what he looks like. We don't have any clues regarding this man, but if there's a slight chance that the one who attacked you and the one who did this are the same person, you should draw his face and spread it all over the devil world so that anyone who sees him would be able to report to us immediately."
She nodded, and said, "Understood, I'll do it immediately." And then she casted a teleportation spell and disappeared, leaving Sirzechs alone.
Alone, he had more time to think. He had already sent his family and friends back to the devil world, because the party had been canceled.
Now, the only thing he has to do is wait.
(Scene Change)
(January 12, 2010)
It's been a month since he ruined every business that the Gremory's had. If they try to build another business, it will immediately fail spectacularly due to the fact that the 05 Council is monitoring them 24/7. He'll never let them build another business in this world, no matter the cost.
While this, to put it simply, is a waste of his time, he's just too irritated at the fact that someone actually dared to refuse him. There's this voice in the back of his head, telling him to completely ruin them. But he has been able to stop himself from doing that, so far.

Hikaru Hiroaki, a big fan of Dark Souls. Even though he only played the first one, he still loved the entire trilogy because of the lore that Vaatividya kindly explained in his videos.

But Hikaru's future was not bright, his mother works 2 jobs a day just to feed him and his 2 siblings. His father works at a construction site to pay their rent. That's why Hikaru didn't have enough time to play around, he works to save up for his college tuition. He is currently at the end of his high school life and he would enter college soon.

But unfortunately, as he traverses through the road while the traffic lights were still red, a drunk driver riding a lamborghini ignored the red lights and hits him directly.

He died instantly.

He woke up in a place covered in white fogs, and an old voice spoke to him.

"I shall give thou the power of Dark Souls, please use it wisely."

Alright, I didn't plan this fanfic at all. I just daydream everyday and write what's inside my head. You may see some paragraphs that you are not able to understand and that's fine. Just report it to me and I'll fix it. 

Plot holes and plot armor, yeah, I have many of those in my fanfic. If you don't like plot holes and such, please don't read this. I don't like people just messing my ratings just because they don't like plot holes. Also, don't read this fanfic if you don't know Dark Souls, I promise you, you won't understand a thing about this fanfic.

Don't write a review if you don't know what you are talking about, it's seriously messing up my rating and I'll have to delete it if it's really bad. Just criticize it in the review, write something that's asking the author to write better. Honestly, reviews that are trying to put the author down are just downright bad. Many people out there gave up writing just because of those reviews, please don't do that to other fanfics or novels out there. I feel sorry for the author.

Anyway, thank you for giving your time in reading this. Enjoy the fanfic.

Also, I accept people criticizing my fanfic since it helps me grow as a writer. You can do that.

_______________
Also, before you post a review, please read at least to 50 chapters. If you don't like it, then you can criticize me for my really bad world building and character development. Trust me, I've had too many people stating that my MC is really bad, and they've only read like what, less than 10 chapters? I know I made too many mistakes in the early chapters, but you don't have to keep shoving it right into my face for god's sake.

Initially, Meng Fan had plans in the afternoon and evening of the 14th: a meet-and-greet and a CV concert. Since he got 10 points of attributes and the title of [Professional Manga Artist], he decided to crank out some comics and skipped the events.
It was hard to start drawing the first part of volume one, then, he couldn't stop.
The first part for "Legend of the Mountains and Seas" was longer than "Guide to Campus RoMANce" and "There's a Spirit Underground." In addition, all the other parts had at least 20 panels, with an average of 22 to 25 panels, meeting the daily serial criteria for Japanese manga magazines.
Naturally, he wanted to submit his manuscript in Japan, get approved, then get serialized.
It was challenging, but Meng Fan was confident in himself.
He already prepared the outline, details, characters, and scenarios. While the new attributes made Meng Fan start over, he also improved and fixed what he already did. With a draft in place, his drawing speed wouldn't be slow. 
He started on the second part at around midnight. He did 25 panels, with 3-5 pictures per panel, which totaled more than 100 pictures. It took him just three hours to draw all of them, including post-production work.
If people knew how quickly he did all of this, they'd be shocked.
Usually, comic artists who were serialized in Japan needed five days to a week to finish one part, and that's assuming they had assistants doing the post-production and other work.
Meng Fan's Hand Speed at +20 was ten times faster than an average comic artist — not including some who weren't so skilled or who drew by hand. Fast Hand Speed alone wouldn't be able to achieve all of this in three hours. Combined with supernatural Drawing Skills and Imagination, however, it was possible.
There were many advantages to having great Drawing Skills; he barely needed to fix anything, and he was much more expressive. An average artist would need a lot of room to express something, but Meng Fan just needed a few strokes.
Meng Fan's drawing was not fancier. If anything, it was simpler. But, these simple strokes were striking and touched one's soul.
OK, in spite of all this, Meng Fan still overestimated himself. It wasn't possible to draw five parts in one night.
When he finished the second part, it was already 3 a.m. Meng Fan could stay up all night easily, and he was too excited to sleep. He stood up and moved a little, then kept drawing until 6 a.m., finishing the third part.
When the third part was done, he was tired and slept for around two hours. For the fourth part, he agonized over a plot development, spending almost two hours to convince himself and fixing the content. When he was finally done, it was around 1:30 p.m.
Great!
This will do.
Meng Fan ordered food, took a quick shower, then grabbed his manuscript to go downstairs. In the corner of the hotel lobby, he wolfed down some food, then asked the hotel for a car to go to Akihabara.
Akihabara, on the boundaries of the four commercial districts of Kyoto, was once a street of electronic stores. Now, it was a street popular with fans of the AGCN culture (animation, games, comics, and novels).
If the Akihabara of the electronics era was a steely, masculine guy, then the district today can only make you say, 'So pretty, like a cute boy.'
Akihabara was the purpose of Meng Fan's trip. He was a true homebody, so Akihabara, a haven for AGCN culture, was a must-see on his visit to Kyoto. He really was visiting the mecca today, he was meeting Eiichiro Oda!
When Meng Fan got off at Akihabara, he could see elements of the AGCN culture everywhere. There were many people dressed in cosplay such as waitresses in maid costumes in front of coffeeshops.
After he waited a while at the scheduled meeting place, a thirty-something man showed up. The man didn't need to look too hard; Meng Fan was very recognizable. The man knew it was Meng Fan from a distance away as he said to himself, "This guy is really tall and good looking."
"Are you Meng-san?" The man asked. After Meng Fan nodded, he introduced himself. "I'm Hiroji Wada."
His Chinese wasn't very standard, but he could communicate without problems.
This Hiroji Wada was the referrer Meng Caiju found for Meng Fan. The man was the son of a senior person at Toei Animation. In the credits of some well-known Japanese comics-turned-animated films, one could find the name of... his father.
Hiroji Wada worked in licensing rights of Japanese animations in China and collaborations with Chinese animation and games, which was how Meng Caiju could get half an hour of Eiichiro Oda's time with a phone call and have Hiroji Wada pick up Meng Fan personally.
"Meng-san, I'll take you on a tour of Mr. Oda's workshop first. Around three o'clock, he rests for half an hour. Normally, it's excellent if he can see you for ten minutes. I hope you understand."
As Hiroji Wada led Meng Fan toward their destination, he reminded Meng Fan of do's and don'ts, such as no questions about the plot of "One Piece," or any gossipy things not related to comics and more.
The Oda workshop was pretty much Eiichiro Oda's home in Kyoto. He both lived and worked here.
Meng Fan had heard of the habits of the maestro of comics, Eiichiro Oda, such as how he slept between two and five in the morning, and how he worked the rest of the day, working 16-hour days!
Of course, he didn't draw the entire time he worked, there was also plot discussions, looking for elements of scenarios, characters, and more.
A renowned comic artist, even though they have many assistants, still had a huge work volume. Also, Eiichiro Oda was a manga artist who insisted on doing a lot of the post-production work — such as the timeline — himself.
Very soon, they reached the Oda Workshop, a quiet place in a bustling area.
"Hiroji-san."
Hiroji Wada had made an appointment. As soon as they walked in, an assistant in the workshop came over to greet them. These assistants all wanted to be manga artists eventually, so they were very polite and respectful toward Hiroji Wada, someone with a connected dad in the industry, and Meng Fan was treated well by association.
Hiroji Wada had been there before, so he wasn't fascinated by everything like Meng Fan. He found a place to sit while the assistant took Meng Fan around the place.
Inside the workshop, "One Piece" elements could be seen everywhere: private bar, popcorn machine, making the place resemble a playground. There was also a claw machine filled with characters from "One Piece," none of which were available in the stores; Meng Fan was so envious.
After their tour, Meng Fan asked for the restroom and excitedly entered the "Jaws"-themed restroom.
The workroom for Eiichiro Oda and his assistants was not open to the public, so Meng Fan didn't go in there.
Then, Meng Fan met the maestro of comics, Eiichiro Oda.
The maestro looked like his photo. Like many OP fans, Meng Fan was most concerned about the man's health. There were rumors of him having health problems earlier. Now that the man looked well in person, Meng Fan was so happy.
After an emotional introduction, Meng Fan chatted with Eiichiro Oda as a fellow manga artist. He didn't rely on a translator, using just his phone to help. Since his phone was connected to a streaming device, translation was fast and communication was easy.
Initially, Eiichiro Oda thought Meng Fan was just a fan of manga rather than a colleague. The older man was happy to discuss elements of the industry and became surprised by Meng Fan's comprehension of the art form. Drawing Skills, Settings, and Scriptwriting weren't just a number; the information in each category made Meng Fan's comments outstanding. While what he said wasn't groundbreaking, Eiichiro Oda acknowledged the younger man's level of knowledge and was into the discussion. 
Meng Fan also asked some questions from his creative process and drawing experience, which Eiichiro Oda was happy to answer.
After some chatting, Eiichiro Oda then asked if Meng Fan also created comics; he took out the manuscript.
As soon as Eiichiro Oda saw the material, he looked focused and energized.
After another half-hour, Meng Fan said goodbye to Eiichiro Oda and Hiroji Wada at the workshop, leaving for Shueisha. In Meng Fan's hand was a recommendation letter from Eiichiro Oda.


To reward Meng Fan for his bravery before his heroic death, the cosmos rewarded him with a 'system', sending him back in time to three months ago, alive.

Zhou Fu was really speechless, and he didn't know what boy Yu was thinking. It was already late autumn, but he was half-naked on the beach in the Billow Sound Pavilion. What weather did he think it was now!? One more layer of autumn rain would bring one more layer of coldness, this continuous drizzle has urged people to put on more clothes, but he was surfing in swimming trunks?
Even if the physical fitness of those who knew martial arts were good, he never saw Xiaobao doing it. Therefore, Zhou Fu was determined that this was a strange trick that boy Yu had come up with, to avoid work, because he had not attended the work meetings that he was supposed to attend for a while now. No one could have imagined that he would be hiding in the billow sound pavilion.
However, although Zhou Yu indeed didn't like to work, this had nothing to do with the meetings. In this rainy weather, it was rare to have a chance to do sunbathing.
The business of The billow sound Pavilion was really good in the ACG world after the Sun Stone was installed. Many local tourists have come here to visit in cold weather. The best thing was that there were no tourists from the real world. Such a large swimming pool could be fully enjoyed by him alone, not to mention that he was still making Moe Coins from those tiny visitors. With Moe Coins constantly coming in, he would eventually be able to produce new anime, games, and comics again to increase the income in the real world.
Therefore, the billow sound pavilion must be open all year round. Anyway, he was still making money.
After entering the autumn, the billow sound Pavilion became bleaker and bleaker, so Zhou Fu had no choice but to put on an extra dress before he came to the swimming pool and talked to Zhou Yu. And because it was too cold, he could only go through the business quickly and then run out to get warm. In this way, the working time was greatly shortened, and there was no time to talk about other things, such as hurry up finding a girlfriend.
Because of this, Zhou Yu found that he was more and more fond of staying in the billow sound pavilion. He could jump into the swimming pool immediately if he didn't like the topic. He dared Zhou Fu to get into the water to talk to him.
Zhou Fu was wearing a thick coat, which was in sharp contrast with Zhou Yu, who was just wearing a pair of swimming trunks. Helplessly, he let out a sigh and said, "Boy Yu, are you really not cold at all? Don't force yourself, it won't be worthwhile if you catch a cold. "
It was actually really impressive that he was lazy to such an extent. However, looking at Zhou Yu's relaxed look, and he even picked up ice cream and licked it twice, it seemed like he really didn't feel that cold. He even took out one and wanted to give to Zhou Fu, which made him completely speechless.
Zhou Fu couldn't help but shiver. He quickly rejected Zhou Yu's "good intentions", and said, "The first season of the little Muli's incredible maze is almost over. The TV station wants to buy the second season as well. But the price and airtime will be adjusted. Other video websites hope to buy the second season at the current price, and the product development department hopes to get to see all the episodes in the second season first so that they can start designing new products. "
It was still some business talk. Although Zhou Yu has always just nodded his head and signed the document, this job could only be done by him, so he could only force himself to be patient and then finish it one by one.
The animation variety show was a brand-new genre. The current popularity was mainly due to the unparalleled high-quality production. If it was viewed from the production standard of the real world, the income obtained from the show was actually not enough to support the production cost. The various anime peripheral products and authorizing other companies to use their anime characters' images, later on, was the main focus. And it was also the area that Zhou Fu put his focus in.
Knowing from some professionals that the funds required to produce such quality CG animation, would definitely be an unimaginable figure, so Zhou Fu felt that he needed to work harder. Although he didn't know how much Zhou Yu needed to pay for that animation, the number was definitely not small. Therefore, as long as there were any new money-making ideas, Zhou Fu would be interested.
"Clothing brand? Uncle Fu, what is this? "
Zhou Yu suddenly saw a letter of intent to cooperate with a clothing group. He couldn't help but be dazed by it. What's this got to do with animation? If it was a costume, then it would make some sense. But establishing a formal clothing brand for a costume? This was something that had never been heard of. Could it be that animation was going to penetrate the fashion world?
Zhou Fu said with an expression of 'It's all your fault', "you even have the audacity to ask me this question. Can you please tell me just exactly what kind of people do you have in your team?"
Speaking of this matter, Zhou Fu's heart was aching constantly. Because this was regarding a huge loss of the amusement park.
It happened during the time when Zhou Yu just locked himself in the studio and started filming the second season of the show.
Liu Ying was a first-class fashion designer and had a great reputation around the world. She also had her own original brand store. Her recent invitation to participate in an international fashion design competition made her very excited.
For Liu Ying, it didn't matter if she could win the competition or not. The most meaningful thing was to exchange ideas with the world's top designers. However, when she saw the designer who won the golden award with his model, she could not stay calm anymore.
Because Liu Ying had seen these designs before!
It was on a boring night, Liu Ying turned on the TV. Originally, she wanted to see some variety shows to release her stress. However, after the TV was switched on, it was playing an animation. At first, she thought she was on the children's channel, but after checking it a few times, she found that it was really an entertainment channel.
Liu Ying couldn't figure out why the channel would be playing an animation at this time. She originally wanted to change channels. However, when she saw the gorgeous dresses that those adventurers dressed in the opening of the animation, she was completely stunned.
Holy cow, is this really an animation? This is clearly a top fashion show, Okay?!
Each of the adventurers that appeared in the animation dressed very stylishly. Because these people were the top idols in the ACG world, competing with each other for beauty, was like daily activities for them. In order to make their idols more attractive, the management companies also went to great lengths to find various design masters to design clothes for their idols.
It was like seeing the top gems, Liu Ying couldn't move her eyes away from it anymore. But it was a pity that the opening of the animation soon passed, and those characters were changed into strange costumes that people often saw in animation, although it was still very gorgeous it was not very artistic.
Liu Ying had no interest in the content of the show, so she turned on the computer and started searching for this show, only to play the opening repeatedly and enjoy these master-level works.
Afterward, she couldn't help feeling a little bit ridiculous. Why does a master designer want to design clothes for an animation? With this kind of skill, they could make money everywhere. Besides it was just an animation studio, how could they afford to hire a master designer to design clothes for the anime characters?
However, after being amazed, Liu Ying also did not think too much about it, because she was about to participate in a fashion competition, and she still needed to work hard to make her work more perfect.
However, she never expected that these clothes would appear in front of her again in the fashion competition.
Was it the designer, who was hired by that animation studio? It seemed like the designer should be Chinese. She should get to know that designer.
This was that Liu Ying thought.

Là một otaku kỳ cựu, các nhân viên tại thời điểm này đã sinh ra cảm giác lấy đó làm vinh hạnh, Thủ Bộ Vũ Hùng đã cứu vãn một thảm họa lớn trong ngành, đồng thời Thủ Bộ cũng là một phần của Phòng siêu nhiên, cũng là vinh quang của Phòng siêu nhiên bọn họ.
Chà, càng là vị cứu tinh của những kẻ yêu thích 'phế manh'. (*)
(*) thuật ngữ trong manga, có nghĩa: sự giết chóc của các cô gái dễ thương chỉ có ý nghĩa tình dục, không mang ý nghĩa đáng yêu; còn có thể hiểu là nhân vật đó không được mọi người biết đến nhưng được mọi người gọi đơn giản là "manh".
Câu chuyện dám làm việc nghĩa cứu vớt mấy chục người bình thường mà nói nên được xem như việc quan trọng ghi lại, nhưng dính đến việc Thủ Bộ Vũ Hùng chỉ bằng một đấm đã khiến đối phương trở thành một quả pháo hoa tuyệt đẹp. Sự cố đẫm máu này vẫn là một vận may bị bóp nghẹt, chỉ là một báo cáo nhỏ, nhưng lại không đặc biệt chỉ ra.
Khó tránh khỏi một số người sẽ sinh ra cái nhìn khác lạ đối với sự tồn tại siêu phàm này, nắm giữ lấy sức mạnh siêu việt của nhân loại, người duy nhất có thể ngăn chặn lực lượng này chỉ có người nắm giữ được trình độ đạo đức của bản thân, chuyên vì người dân gặp phải chế định pháp luật mà chuyển một bước ngoặt lớn, mọi người khát vọng có được sức mạnh này, nhưng đồng thời cũng sợ hãi phần sức mạnh này.
[Tôi là nhân viên KyoAni, mặc dù tôi không ở trong phòng thu số 1, nhưng đã có hơn 70 nhân viên trong tòa nhà ngày hôm đó, nếu bắt đầu cháy ở tầng một, ngay cả khi đội cứu hỏa đến nhanh, tòa nhà cũng sẽ có thương vong cực kỳ nặng nề.]
[KyoAni không để cho bộ trưởng Thủ Bộ gửi lời chia buồn sao, chỉ cần trao vài trăm triệu phần thưởng thôi mà.]
[ Công ty anime nào có nhiều tiền như vậy.]
[Bảo tàng Brazil bị hỏa hoạn vào năm ngoái, nhà thờ Đức Bà cũng bị cháy, chữ Hán bình chọn hàng năm của năm nay có phải là 'hỏa' hay không?]
[Là 'dị' mới đúng, năm nay chuyện gì cũng không quan trọng bằng siêu nhiên, một năm dị thường]
Thủ Bộ Vũ Hùng dám làm việc nghĩa này hiếm khi được xuất hiện trong các bản tin, hầu hết cư dân mạng đều lướt qua, dù sao cũng không gây ra thiệt mạng, nhưng trong bài đăng trên diễn đàn anime, mười người thì có tám người đã đề cập đến vụ cháy ở KyoAni, không ít otaku đã so sánh Thủ Bộ Vũ Hùng với nhân vật anime.
Lướt qua điện thoại, các nhân viên của phòng siêu nhiên nhìn lên ngọn núi Phú Sĩ cao chót vót, vào mùa hè, đỉnh núi Phú Sĩ vẫn có tuyết trắng.
Từ Tokyo đến núi Phú Sĩ, cách đi lại nhanh nhất là bằng đường sắt đến ga Otsuki, nhưng hôm nay ga Otsuki đóng cửa cả ngày.
Có điều dưới tình huống bình thường, núi Phú Sĩ và những nơi khác bị nghi là sẽ xuất hiện sự tồn tại siêu nhiên, đã sớm nằm trong danh sách cấm leo núi, người leo núi Nhật Bản chỉ có thể đưa ánh mắt nhìn ra nước ngoài.
Đừng nói là khách leo núi, khách du lịch, sân đánh Golf, trường đua ngựa xung quanh núi Phú Sĩ cũng bị cấm vào.
Có điều những nhà sản nghiệp lớn này đều vô cùng trân quý sinh mệnh của mình, sẽ không ai dùng cuộc sống của họ để đùa giỡn với núi Phú Sĩ, nếu muốn ngắm cảnh, hãy đến núi bất động sản ở ra ngoại quốc là được rồi.
Chỉ là một sân đánh Golf nho nhỏ, lại lãng phí cả ngọn núi Phú Sĩ thì làm sao.
Công việc kinh doanh homestay dưới chân núi không tệ, mà không phải ai cũng muốn leo lên núi Phú Sĩ, đứng từ xa nhìn một chút là có thể thỏa mãn nhu cầu tinh thần, có vào núi hay không cũng không đáng kể.
"Ba trung đội sẵn sàng lên núi bất cứ lúc nào."
"Ừm."
Nhà khách địa phương khóa chặt cửa sổ và cửa ra vào, những dân làng nhận được tin từ lâu đã trốn ở các thành phố lân cận, may mắn thay những nhà nghỉ này đã mua bảo hiểm, hơn nữa họ cũng thực sự bị hư hại trong trận chiến, tập thể đi đến văn phòng chính phủ quậy một trận, chính phủ cũng phải bồi thường tiền đàng hoàng.
"Hồng hộc."
Chiếc trực thăng hạ cánh trên mặt đất gọn gàng, người phi công nhìn Aokihara với đầy cảm xúc.
Thập tử nhất sinh, anh gần như chết trong biển cây lúc đó.
Anh ta nhớ rõ, mình đã quay đầu về phía đồng đội của mình và nói: "Tôi được gửi đến Aokihara chấp hành nhiệm vụ, khi đó siêu nhiên vẫn chưa công khai, lúc đó tôi chỉ nghĩ rằng nhiệm vụ là tìm kiếm và giải cứu thông thường, chậc chậc chậc."
"Anh là lão tiền bối, lần này tất cả tài sản tính mệnh của ta đều gửi gắm ở trên người của anh." Đồng đội sờ vào lồng ngực, lòng bàn tay đều ướt đẫm mồ hôi, trái tim cũng muốn đánh gãy xương sườn, trực tiếp nhảy ra ngoài.
"Hãy yên tâm." Viên phi công nhai kẹo cao su, mí mắt không ngừng giật cho thấy tâm trạng của anh ta không được bình tĩnh như vậy, nói ra những lời này cũng chỉ là vì tăng thêm lòng dũng cảm.
Xung quanh Aokihara, núi Phú Sĩ phủ đầy vũ trang đã chuẩn bị tốt, bên cạnh núi Phú Sĩ chính là căn cứ lực lượng phòng vệ trên lục địa, trận diễn tập của quân Mỹ bên cạnh Yokosuka cũng được trang bị vũ khí, nghe nói còn có mấy át chủ bài siêu nhiên trong tay chính phủ, sẽ là một trận chiến lớn trước nay chưa từng được điều tra.
Một trận chiến lớn liên quan đến gần 10.000 người, nhưng không tìm thấy dấu vết nào trên bất kỳ tin tức nào ở Nhật Bản.
Tuy nhiên, nhiều quốc gia sớm đã nhắm vào, vừa vặn các vệ tinh trên quỹ đạo, bất kể nguồn lực tài chính thế nào đều nhắm ngay biển cây Aokihara.
Dù sao hiện thực không phải là một trò chơi, không có công nghệ đen nào có thể che chắn các vệ tinh, chính phủ Nhật Bản cũng biết rằng các vệ tinh trên bầu trời là nhằm vào chính họ, nhưng mặc kệ là bị chế giễu, hay nhảy vào sọt, thì việc điều tra núi Phú Sĩ là việc bắt buộc phải làm.
Cho tới nay đều là phát hiện bị động của chính phủ, bị động bị siêu nhiên đánh cho trở tay không kịp, mà tình trạng thụ động này không thể tồn tại mãi mãi, bản chất siêu nhiên vô tận khiến chính phủ nhận ra rằng một mực phòng thủ sẽ không hiệu quả, sức mạnh siêu nhiên trong tay là không đủ dùng, phòng tuyến có trăm ngàn chỗ hở.
Dựa vào việc bắt Pokémon để thu thập siêu nhiên, tốt hơn là tự mình khám phá bản chất siêu nhiên, chẳng hạn như Núi Phú Sĩ huyền diệu này, có thể có thu hoạch mới!
Quá nhiều siêu nhiên có liên quan đến núi Phú Sĩ, có một bí mật lớn cất giấu ở đây!
Mà đối với hành động dò xét núi Phú Sĩ, sau khi trưng cầu ý kiến Thần Thụ, Thần Thụ cũng chỉ "ừm" từ chối cho ý kiến, thái độ từ chối cho ý kiến này là đủ, chí ít chứng minh hành động lần này sẽ không có tình huống nào quá tệ.
Nếu không Thần Thụ đối đãi nhiệt tình liền sẽ tiến hành ngăn chặn, trong tất cả những điều phi thường tiếp xúc, thì Thần Thụ là thân thiện nhất với con người, dưới lớp biểu bì màu nâu là vị Thần Thụ vô cùng tốt lành.
Sở trưởng bốn hòn đảo bây giờ giống như người chơi tiếp theo, không biết có thể vơ vét ra thứ gì tốt.
"Hành động."
"Go."


Trên thế giới, chỉ có tôi đơn độc trong pháp luật, và mọi người được xem là thần thánh.
Câu chuyện này nói về một người tuyệt vời được tái sinh ở Tokyo, Nhật Bản.
“Để sống sót, tôi chỉ có thể thâu tóm cả Tokyo!“
“Tôi có một tư duy tốt, một hành động quyết đoán và làm bất cứ điều gì để có thể đạt được mục tiêu của mình.”
Một quyển sách hắc ám với đích đến là trở thành tiểu thuyết, không phải là yên định an yên.
Nó còn có tên gọi khác là "Con ma ở quốc đảo"; "Tôi chưa thấy Naruto bao giờ, nhưng không sao nó không thành vấn đề”. Nhưng liệu "Cuốn sách này có liên quan đến Naruto không?" Các bạn cùng tôi tìm hiểu xem nhé !
