A/N: So, someone reminded me that I wrote Hiroki's sister name wrong and when I went back to check it, they were right. I knew something was off lol.
Either way, it wasn't Koneko but Kanoko.
And you probably have noticed that I put a different last name, well I intentionally did it because I'm going to connect it to a certain NTR doujinshi that traumatized me for years.
Either way, thanks for the reminder or else I wouldn't have noticed.

I was eating like tomorrow was my last, I ate my meal like a beast nearing starvation, the mother of this was looking at me like she was a new kind of species.
Because this was the first time she saw her 'son' eating like this, she knew that I eat a bit too much sometimes, but this?
This was an entire different level, right now I was at my 7th plate, and still no sign of stopping.
Concerned like any mother, she asked in a worried tone. "Son, are you alright? That's already your 8th plate, I don't think your body could handle more food."
I frowned a bit and honestly replied. "Don't worry about it, if I can't handle it I'd already stop, my body simply needs more nutrients since I've exercised this morning."
While it may not be the best excuse, it's still something within the realms of logic and isn't something that could be disregarded as a lie, not unless there's solid evidence.
Besides, it's technically not a lie since I did exercise.
Kaede blinked at those unexpected words. "E-exercise? You did?"
I nodded at her. "That's right."
Kaede wasn't sure what to say at the moment, and could only shake her head in disbelief, she decided that this matter wasn't worth prying over.
"Fine, but remember you're still grounded! You're not going out of this house for an entire month!" Kaede said with a serious face.
I shrugged at that, it wasn't a big deal. It's just a mere month, there's plenty of things to do in this house even if I won't be able to leave.
Then I noticed Kanoko was staring at me, I looked at her while raising a brow, and when she saw me looking she quickly avoided my gaze, flustered at the sudden attention.
'What the heck is wrong with her?' I thought to myself, I'm pretty sure I didn't do anything to her to receive such treatment.
Either way I ignored her and after having my fill I immediately went back to my room.

A few days later,
(A/N: Shocking coming from someone like me, but you'll find that I'd timeskip more frequently than normal in this fic.)
"Fuck, I'm bored!" I exclaimed loudly, I've overestimated this world's entertainment industry.
Most of the shows, movies and the ACG community are way behind in terms of creativity, enjoyment and advancement.
Sure, there's a few good ones, like in the movie world, Jurassic Park, Star Wars and even Rush Hour. Existed.
However, things like Transformers, MCU, DC and other big names in the movie industry don't exist.
Now as for the AGG world, there are also some big ones, like One Piece, Bleach, Naruto, basically the big 3 in my past life.
Let's not forget Dragon Ball, but the Super version doesn't exist, only Z to GT.
As for games, there's hardly anything at all, there's only Counter Strike, Warcraft, Diablo 2 and the rest were simply not on par.
Like I said, decades worth of advancement is down to the drain, it's 2017 in this world, it should have at least Dota 2, LoL, TF2 and Minecraft.
Yes, this world doesn't have minecraft. It's a nightmare.
It's like technology is the only thing advanced in this world, but not the entertainment industry.
Like, there's VR technology in this world, not the kind of VR in the previous world, but a full blown consciousness VR, that makes you enter the digital world! Exactly like SAO.
However, it's dry with content, what's the fucking point of having such tech if there's no worthy game to play with?
It might as well not exist.
Advanced tech, but zero creativity to utilize these advantages given to them.
It makes me wanna pull my hair due to frustration.
But there's nothing I could do about it…
Or I could?
Plagiarism was illegal, however is it really plagiarism when it doesn't exist here?
Only I know about those unlimited content back in my world, those overflowing sources of inspiration.
If I could use it to kick start a revolution in the entertainment world it would be great, with a source of inspiration it would create a whiplash to many creators and using those as their inspiration their creativity would spark and dozens of works would be created.
Which means more things for me to enjoy.
Now with a clear goal in mind, I was sufficiently motivated then suddenly my system that was silent for days, suddenly made a sound.
Ding!
[ You have made an ultimate goal for yourself, and that is to kick start a creative revolution of this world entertainment industry! ]

[ Status - In Progress ]
[ Difficulty Rating - Easy, Mid, Hard, Hell, Apocalypse, Impossible. ]
[ Note - The difficulty rating matches your own capabilities and not others, it might be hard for you but to others it might not be necessarily difficult. ]
"Oh? This is new." I was savoring the new information from my system, from what I could understand the difficulty has something to do with how capable I am in this situation.
I know that I have a lot of ideas to plagiarize, but to think that the difficulty of becoming the King of Entertainment in this world is merely hard.
Either way, it was nice to finally know how to get more proficiency points.
"If I guess right, receiving missions has to do with having a solid 'goal' . Let's say that I want to create a webnovel and serialize it."
Ding!
[ You made a goal to serialized a webnovel! ]

[ Overall Status - In Progress ]
I was surprised, I didn't think that setting a goal to serialize a webnovel would create a massive chain quest like this.
However, I wasn't complaining as it was a good thing.
After all, the more quests I have the more points I get. I definitely won't say no to more proficiency points.
And so, I started to think about what to write into a webnovel as there's a lot of choices in my mind.
—
It took a few hours for me to decide what to write and in the end, I decided to make a work that would make a long lasting impact.
Something that makes people emotional, something that would be replayed back in their heads no matter how many years has it been.
Sure, pieces like Overlord, I Reincarnated As A Slime and even Jobless Reincarnation were good, however it doesn't have a long lasting impact.
So in the end, I choose Your Lie In April.
Among the dozens of emotional works I've seen, this one was on another level.
I remember crying at Kaori's confession letter, especially after Kousei saying.
"A spring without you, is coming."
It was that moment the dam broke, I cried so hard at that part and it was still so vivid in my memories.
It was a masterpiece like no other, even after a decade has passed I still couldn't forget about it, every year in April I would always remember that work no matter what.
It's engraved into the depths of my memories like a virus that refuses to leave.
Either way, originally it was made in manga, however I'm not a good artist, that's why I have to write it in a novel format.
Maybe if I get more proficiency points, I'll spend some for drawing but right now. I'd have to write it out.
The memories of that series are pretty vivid to me, which was a bit odd, however I recall that my int increased, maybe that's why I could remember the story more vividly than usual.
"Now it's time to plan out the plot and do some research."
And so for the rest of the day I used every bit of my brain cells to 'perfect' this story.
—
An entire week has passed and I stared at the story I wrote on my PC.
For a week I've revised and adjusted the story perfectly close to the original source, and finally the first volume was finished.
After checking for mistakes, it seems that there wasn't anything wrong.
"Fuuuuh~" I let out a breath and stretched my arms into the air.
Thanks to me writing this, I've gained a skill writer and it was upgraded to intermediate, because of the lack of talent I couldn't upgrade it more, that's why I used my remaining proficiency point to make it advanced.
One could argue that it would be better to use it to make my total breathing concentration technique upgrade a rank and become stronger.
But frankly doing that is useless, after all this world isn't chaotic, nor does it have immediate use.
It was better to use it for what it currently matters, like using it to make the quality of my writing better.
With better writing means having a higher chance of getting more audience.
After upgrading my writing skills to advanced, words that I haven't thought of before started appearing in my head.
My grammar, vocabulary and pacing became way better, it was a noticeable change that's why I had to re-write the majority of the words replacing them with words that were easy to understand.
Writing became easier, as I could imagine the scenario better, and describe them with proficiency.
Now that my first volume was done, it was finally time to upload it on a well-known publishing site.
A webnovel, I checked for a while and eventually found a good site to upload. Creating an account was pretty easy, using the email I just made a few days ago.
I named my account CryHarder. It might not have an impact at first but they knew the pun later after I finished the story.
Just thinking about it puts a smile on my face, shaking out of my sadistic thoughts.
I uploaded the first chapter in my first volume, there's a total of 10 chapters in the first volume each has 5,000 words or more.
Overall the first volume contained less than 60k words, an average word count for a single light novel volume.
But of course, I won't upload everything in one go, I'd say about 1 chapter a day or 2 if there's a lot of feedback.
And so 'Your Lie In April' was officially uploaded to this world.

A few days have passed, and I've realized that Kanoko was consistently giving me a weird look.
It wasn't the usual look of a girl looking at her little brother, I'm not stupid I know what that gaze exactly implies.
Although it's a bit uncomfortable to get used to, after all those eyes of hers looks like she wanted to strip me piece by piece.
It's like she's looking at an A-grade piece of meat, but despite being in front of her she couldn't take it or eat it for herself.
Her mind was probably having a war with morality.
Honestly, while it's a bit unexpected that she was lusting after her little brother's body like a bitch in heat.
It's not surprising after all, she wouldn't be a hentai character if she wasn't lustful.
It's not that I dislike the attention, it's just a bit bothersome at times, but I have no problem with it.
Despite her being my sister, I can't really see her as one, from my perspective she's nothing more than a girl that I lived with, same with Kaede.
This body might be related to them, but I'm not.
So if she ever wanted to fuck, I absolutely have no problem with it or whatsoever.
But I won't make the first move, so I'll remain passive. I want to see how long for her to snap and be lost in her lust.
—
After the 5th chapter was released, I already have a decent amount of viewers and some fans who like the story.
It wasn't dramatic or a shocking progress but good enough.
Honestly for someone like me who has no reputation in this community, having to receive this kind of popularity was good.
Not to mention the genre I choose isn't popular and there's barely any story about it.
It made sense as to why there aren't many readers as the story isn't exactly mainstream.
The fact that I have hundreds of regular readers within just a few chapters in an unpopular genre which was the barely recognizable musical novel.
Speaking of its quality, take some time surely an editor would contact me about publishing it as a light novel.
—
"Okay, I didn't expect 'some time' to be today." Unexpectedly one of the site's editors took notice of my work and asked if I was interested in publishing it.
That was literally what I was waiting for and without hesitation I sent a reply to which the editor replied almost immediately.
I'm honestly surprised by how fast their reply was, but I wasn't complaining.
Our conversation was pretty standard, they went straight to the point that they wanted to publish my story as they saw potential in it.
They didn't say anything wrong with the grammar or the pacing of the story as it was already perfect as it is.
However, the problem was that I needed more than 50,000 words for it to be published.
A standard for serialization, but luckily for me I was already done with vol 1 and 2.
Thanks to my advanced writing, I was faster in writing.
It also helps that I know the plot clearly, so pausing and writer's block might as well not exist.
I could easily write 20,000 or more per day, so it's not a surprise that I finished vol 2 within a few days, heck I'm halfway done with vol 3.
And after telling the editor that I already finished writing vol 1 and 2, they were surprised not expecting me to have that much in my stockpile.
Then they expressed their worries about the quality of the story, but I waved them off saying that it won't be a problem and sent the rest of the finished volume to them.

Inside Kadokawa's publisher building, in a single office room, there was a short woman with glasses reading a novel on the computer with a surprised look.
"Huh..? It's actually pretty good, this was already doable for publication, although it needed a few edits and it's already good to go." Hina Kobayashi was impressed by this newcomer's novel.
At first she thought that they were rushing their story as they already have 2 volumes of it, but it turns out the quality was the same or in some cases better.
Hina or Kobayashi as most people call her by that, was deeply satisfied with the plot and quality of this story.
Actually, she's quite looking forward to how this story goes and that's saying something, after reading thousands upon thousands of books.
It wouldn't be strange for her to have a strict standard, working in this industry gave her a skill to know which story is going to be good or bad.
Most of the time anyway, and reading this story gives her a feeling that it would be popular or at least sell decently.
Although the main genre of the novel is barely known, the fact that it got her hooked despite not being her favourite genre speaks of its potential and quality.
"Well, this story should be given a shot for serialization, but it's not my call, however I have a feeling that it would be approved by the higher-ups either way." After that she sent the story to a chief-editor, not without saying that she strongly recommended this to be serialized.
This was a very rare occurrence for her to recommend a novel to be serialized, either way, she should send a reply to the author of her new favorite book.
And also sending her number so that they would be able to reach her faster if they ever had some questions.

After being in this world for almost 2 weeks, finally the warm and friendly atmosphere of the group chat changed as soon as a mission arrived.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Another quest has appeared, thankfully the danger rate isn't as bad as the last one.
[ An anomaly has appeared! ]
[ Eliminate it to restore the worldline's balance! ]
[ Danger Level: F~D ]
[ Completion Reward: 2,000 GP, 2 lottery ticket. ]
[ 0/2 ]
[ You have 5 minutes to select the necessary members and if none participate the group will randomly select a member ]
[ 4:59 ]
[ 4:58 ]
8man: F rank to D rank huh…well, at least it's within my capabilities, if it was higher I'd absolutely die, but the question is who is going?
SpecialistWinter: I would like to propose that the new member should participate in this quest, along with a veteran member as it would be a good 'training' for him as it would prepare him for what we will be facing in the near future.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Agreed, most of us doesn't have this kind of luxury as we were directly dumped into a meat grinder as soon as we joined, so @MartialARTish you should participate in this quest.
MartialARTish: I don't mind, but mind telling me what this anomaly thing is or the danger level ranks?
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Oh, right we haven't really explained anything to you? I'm going to keep it short as we're running out of time, first the anomaly the group speaks of are individuals who aren't part of this specific worldline, an outsider who was either transmigrated to that world or reincarnated.
Seeing this I suddenly felt a shiver down my spine, and it got worse as she continued her explanation.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Most of these individual have this thing called The System or Golden Finger, and they use it as a tool for their evil deeds, these individuals are cocky, arrogant and a lowlife who doesn't care about anything besides their self-interest, I once met an anomaly who recognized me and he really got excited for some reason and then he demanded me to be his woman, saying nonsense like being able to gain his interest was the greatest thing in the whole universe, despite the unpleasant company I admit he's strong but in the end he fell due to overconfidence.
Fuck..I could not longer deny it, this group wasn't just any group chat that I've known, this group is made specifically made to hunt my kind.
Realizing this, I immediately thought my decision of hiding my transmigrated identity was the best decision I made because I would have been hunted like a dog if they knew I was one of these anomalies.
(👑)Raiden Makoto: Now, as for the Danger Levels, here's a simplified explanation. F is equivalent to an individual with a gun, dangerous but as long as you know what your doing it's enough, D you must be at least be at the a borderline superhuman, C an individual that could easily destroy an entire district, B a disaster in human form and someone that could easily destroy a city, A this is where it gets worse at this level it's not an exaggeration that this individual gained the power of a god or at least close to it, and as for S level I'm too sure of it's accurate power as we never encountered an anomaly at this level yet, but we theorize that an anomaly of this level could destroy worlds.
Damn, that's a scary thought.
Regardless, it answered all my questions.
I let out a bitter laugh as I realized what my future was going to be. "So I'm going to be actively hunting my own kind."
Honestly I couldn't care less about the others, as my survival mattered the most compared to strangers who I haven't met.
Not to mention from what I heard, it seems that those individuals that were hunted by the group are basically scum of earth.
And so, my journey begins as the pretender of the group chat filled with hunters that was out to get me If my identity was ever going to be exposed.
My isekai experience couldn't be more terrible.

He finally realized that he's fucked, welp good luck hiding your identity!
