My anime/manga fandom can't be that lazy.

Then the enemy mid-lane assassin led his teammates to completely destroy their team's core, resulting in an immediate loss for the team.

"I really..."

Ruri Gokou stared at the gray screen, leaned back in her chair with a look of discomfort, and was extremely irritated. Didn't that guy who played the Minotaur just now know the skill mechanics?

If he starts with a lightning strike followed by a horn ram, combined with his own set of control skills, there's a high probability he can kill the assassin.

That guy! He's already killed himself four times in three games!

"no!"

Ruri Gokou felt increasingly uncomfortable. Just then, that guy added her as a friend, and she had to invite him to a one-on-one match!

As a result, just as I was about to invite them, their avatar instantly turned gray, which meant that they had gone offline and I could no longer invite them.

"Tsk!"

……

"Alright, alright, time for bed."

Dongfang Bai rubbed his eyes, which had been staring at the computer for a long time. Tomorrow was Monday and he had to go to class. He had only played the game for fun, but he had unexpectedly encountered such a strong opponent.

After adding the 'Fallen Saint Black Cat' as a friend, and also adding the 'Angel Gabriel', the minotaur warrior who had previously tried to cooperate in killing him, he shut down his computer.

He had no idea that at that moment, two girls were in a state of extreme frenzy, trying every possible way to find him, and as a result, this guy simply went offline!

Nonsense, there aren't many people playing games at one or two in the morning, and tomorrow is Monday, so we have to go to class!

Speaking of which, wasn't my 'Fate' story submitted to the official website? Let's see how it's doing...

"Ok?"

What... what's going on?

Chapter 48 Let's skip the book signing event. [Seeking flowers and ratings]

In the early morning, bright sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains, while the alarm clock beside me started ringing for some unknown reason.

"Ugh, so sleepy."

Dongfang Bai rubbed his eyes and couldn't help but yawn. He had been playing games until after 1 a.m. last night and had gone to check his leaderboard.

How could they... how could they just jump to first place like that?

Logically speaking, a new author's book should start accumulating popularity from scratch. There were already some new books that had been on the new author's donation list for a while, but I didn't expect Dongfang Bai to catch up.

The difference between the first-place "Fate" and the second-place "Magician's Otherworld" is more than 400 recommendation votes, which is simply outrageous.

I wonder what the guy in second place is thinking, but all Dongfang Bai can do is silently apologize in his heart.

That's really impressive. They jumped from last place to first place in just one night. This exaggerated fluctuation makes people wonder if the data was manipulated.

"I didn't expect that."

I rubbed my aching head. I hadn't been able to fall asleep for half the night because I was still thinking about this, so I probably only slept for three hours.

It's five in the morning, and I still have to get up to prepare breakfast for myself and Sagiri, as well as the lunchbox I need to take to school at noon...

[TAKI: This book is truly amazing! It's absolutely the most innovative world-building and plot I've ever seen, and the author's writing style and control are superb!]

As expected, the success of "Fate" was due to a bit of luck and Aki Tomoya's recommendation. That guy is really something, still recommending it to others at 3 AM...

Is this the ultimate otaku? I heard that when TAKI comes across a book he really likes, he'll stay up for three days and three nights to recommend it to others. That kind of perseverance is truly impressive.

Wow! I've never seen a plot like this before, summoning a legendary figure to my side. I'm so curious to know who Saber's true identity is!

[To the person upstairs: A female Heroic Spirit like Saber must be a powerful Valkyrie from history or legend! My first thought is Valkyrie!]

[Nonsense! Valkyrie and Saber don't match in appearance, and Saber is a swordsman, okay?!]

【Hey, why is everyone talking about Saber? Archer is handsome too!】

[He's definitely handsome, but it's kind of weird. Why would Archer, an archer, use dual swords to fight a spearman in melee combat?!]

"puff."

Dongfang Bai couldn't help but burst out laughing. It seems that this parallel world doesn't have the trope of "an archer who can't fight in melee isn't a good archer".

The comment section for the Newcomer Awards has suddenly seen dozens of new comments. It's hard to believe that such a result could be achieved in just one night. Don't these guys ever sleep?

Dongfang Bai sighed, then washed up and started preparing his lunchbox in the kitchen. He was happy that Fate was so popular and that a classic could be brought back to life in this parallel world.

But even if they racked their brains, they probably couldn't have imagined it, right? Saber's true identity is that of the legendary Knight King who wields the Holy Sword!

I finished making my lunch in less than half an hour. I still had some time, so I decided to check out the forum.

The forums in this world are different from the ones before. There aren't many visitors, almost none compared to the previous world. But what surprised him the most was that there were actually posts about "Fate".

Is it that fast? This book has only just won the Newcomer Award, I didn't expect it to achieve such results, it's a bit beyond Dongfang Bai's expectations.

He originally thought it would take at least a few days for the content to gain traction and gradually increase its readership. Although there's only one post on the forum right now, it still makes him very happy.

"Hey?"

"It's me, Mr. Yakumo! Have you seen today's grades!?"

The voice coming from the other end was extremely excited, Kagurazaka Ayame's voice even trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was very excited.

I never expected her to be this excited, even though I, the person involved, wasn't that happy...

"Well, it's alright."

"What do you mean 'what do you mean, kid'! You jumped to first place in one night! Nobody would believe that!"

Kagurazaka Ayame seemed speechless. Why didn't this little brat seem happy at all? Being too humble is just being arrogant!

"At this rate, winning the Newcomer Award is practically a sure thing. Then you can just start selling the collected volumes after the competition ends!"

"Once you become famous, you'll be a super popular new author. There will be so many things to do, like book signings, author-fan meet-and-greets, and signed books."

Kagurazaka Ayame rattled off a long string of words, and Dongfang Bai could only listen slowly, sweating profusely. There was no way to interrupt her now, or she would only escalate her anger.

"Please spare me from book signings and the like, I don't want to break my hand signing so many autographs."

Dongfang Bai's vehement refusal nearly infuriated Kagurazaka Ayame on the other side.

Chapter 49 The Ultimate Nomadic Life [Seeking Flowers and Reviews]

"Yakumo-sensei really doesn't know what's good for him. This is something that so many new authors dream of, and you're not willing to accept it?"

Because signing events are really tiring. You have to keep smiling and signing all day long. He doesn't know if his face will be stiff or not, but his hand will definitely be exhausted.

For someone who's always been lazy, participating in this kind of activity is practically the death knell for him.

"Well, I've been keeping an eye on this book for the past two days, and I can finally rest assured now that it's like this."

The editor, Kagurazaka Ayame, sounded a little weak on the other end of the phone, probably because she had been up all night.

"I also want to thank my editor Kagurazaka for discovering my book."

Dongfang Bai showed no arrogance, after all, it was only the beginning and he hadn't even received the money yet, although his current achievements looked very impressive.

But if something unexpected happens, you might get eliminated again?

"No need to be so formal, just call me Sister Changpu from now on."

Kagurazaka Ayame was in an exceptionally good mood, and even a little smug. Her judgment was as accurate as ever, and her hard work in the newcomer submission section to make money had not been in vain.

Generally speaking, the submissions in the newcomer section are mostly document drafts sent from the internet, and the quality of most of them is terrible, with many even being poorly written. However, there are some good drafts, though they are as rare as pearls in the desert.

Generally, capable new authors will choose to submit printed manuscripts or come to the Dengeki Bunko editorial office in person to submit their work.

Unfortunately, Kagurazaka Ayame never expected to encounter such an oddball as Touhou Haku. Despite the high quality of his work, he simply sent a document and left without leaving any contact information, such as his phone number or Line number.

It's fortunate that I encountered an editor like her who's so bored she's practically throwing her away, otherwise this book might have been buried!

"Alright, alright, I give up. I'll talk to you about the rest after this book is published. I'm so sleepy, I'm hanging up now."

Kagurazaka Ayame said listlessly, then casually greeted Dongfang Bai and hung up the phone, probably to catch up on her sleep. The editor really has a tough job.

Breakfast was quickly prepared: nutritious bread toast with jam and milk, plus a fried egg. Dongfang Bai quickly served it to Shawu.

"Sagiri, remember to eat breakfast when it's ready, or it will get cold."

I knocked on Sagiri's door, but there was no response. I guessed Sagiri was still half asleep.

"Okay, it's almost seven o'clock. Let's get ready to go to school after breakfast."

Dongfang Bai put on his school uniform, sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of bread, and planned to finish it quickly before going to school.

I'm so sleepy today. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll probably have to catch up on sleep at school. As for the novel, I'll write it later when I have time...

Just as he was lost in thought, a girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door. The voice sounded very familiar.

"Izumi-chan~"

"Come to school, Izumi!"

The shouts outside the door changed from one person to a group of people. Dongfang Bai raised an eyebrow, swallowed a piece of bread, and strode towards the door.

"Wait, isn't that... Megumi Kanno?"

Dongfang Bai quickly arrived at the door and opened it. At a glance, he saw a large group of students standing below, who looked to be middle school students, probably Jin Ye Hui's classmates.

With that many people, anyone who didn't know better would think something terrible had happened...

"Kamino?"

Dongfang Bai looked at Shenye at the door and revealed a subtle expression. Who knew that a large group of junior high school students would appear at his door early in the morning.

"Ah, good morning, Onii-chan."

Kanno Megumi seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation, greeting Dongfang Bai with a bright smile.

Who are these people?

"Ah, they are all my friends. They came together to persuade Izumi to go to school~ I'm sure Izumi would be moved by so many people!"

"No way."
