Live as an normal inspiring author that wants to reach something much more bigger than what he has right now. Fukushima Hanashi was an 22 years old collage student author of five famous otome novel that was popular to all citizen throughout the country and was translated in many different countries.
Hanashi account name as an author was Colen_Xyn and he has been using that eversince. He had written Beast Love, Adventure of the Lost Boy, Emperor Love Affair, The Revenge of the Masked Prince, and School Murder Case.
Hanashi have been hiding his identity as an author of those novels since he receive a lot of disturbing message from each novel he wrote and one of them was a question that was asking him if he want to participate in something which he didn't take it seriously and thought of it as a joke.
Hanashi: "Ahh seriously, why do I kept on receiving a lot of messages like this?"
???: 「 Senior Fukushima, It's nice to see you again! 」
Hanashi: "What-"
Hanashi was busy reading the messages of the readers on his novel while waiting for the bus when he was greeted by a young man running torward him and he seems to be a bit energetic and was smiling brightly. At first glance, Hanashi didn't seems to know this person until that young man stop infront of him.
Hanashi: 「 Who are you? 」
???: 「 Senior, Don't you recognize me? 」
Hanashi: 「 I don't- Wait....Are you Kaoruko?!? 」
Hanashi surely know that this must be the little junior, Kaoruko, that he always been teaching when he didn't understand the lecture of his professor so since then Hanashi only saw Kaoruko as his younger brother.
Fushimoto Kaoruko was on the 7th grade when he met Hanashi who was in his last senior year and they first meet on a pool party where he idolized Hanashi since then when he rescue him from being drown on the pool after he was push down by his friend.
Hanashi: 「 Ahh it's nice to see you again, Kaoruko! 」
Hanashi: 「 You've grown a bit taller than the last time I saw you. 」
Hanashi approach Kaoruko and rub his dark brown hair like he have always do when he was still in his senior years on highschool. Kaoruko let out a small chuckle when he found out that Hanashi was still the same as always.
Kaoruko: 「 Stop that, I'm not a child anymore. 」
Hanashi: 「 Ahh right, Congrats on graduating from highschool. 」
Kaoruko: 「 Thanks, but I would have been much more happier if you attend my graduation ceremony. 」
Kaoruko mouth pouted as he gently hit me on his right shoulder that made Hanashi let out a chuckle before letting out a small sigh.
Hanashi: 「 You know that I would be glad to attend your graduation ceremony but I can't due to my busy schedule. 」
Kaoruko: 「 I know that, I'm just teasing you Senior. 」
Hanashi: 「 So how was your past four years on the academy? 」
Kaoruko: 「 Boring. 」
Hanashi: 「 Hahaha, your quite the same as always. 」
Kaoruko and Hanashi was busy talking with each other as they are both trying to catch up with all interesting things that happened in their life after they have been both seperated for four years.
『 Notice: New Host has been found. 』
〔 Spotting target...Target acquired....Launching attack in 10 seconds. 〕
Hanashi was busy talking with Kaoruko when he noticed a somewhat blue message board right infront of his face and he was a bit alarmed and confuse when he read the message.
『 9 』
Hanashi: "What attack?! Don't tell me-"
『 8 』
Kaoruko noticed the unease look on Hanashi face so he quickly stop walking and he check on Hanashi condition with a worried tone while Hanashi was starting to panic when he saw that the timer was still going.
『 7 』
Kaoruko: 「 Senior? Are you alright? 」
『 6 』
Kaoruko: 「 Hey Senior? 」
『 5 』
When the timer hit five, Hanashi looked around the place since he has a feeling that this notice isn't just a joke and that he should be on guard if there might be something bad that might happen.
『 4 』
Kaoruko: 「 Senior? 」
『 3 』
Hanashi quickly grab Kaoruko shoulder and pull him behind his back while keeping up his guard. Kaoruko who was very confuse on the situation just stared silently behind Hanashi back.
『 2 』
Hanashi: 「 Kaoruko listen to me, if I said something later on then follow it and never look back. 」
Kaoruko: 「 But- Why? 」
『 1 』
Hanashi: 「 Just listen to me!! 」
When the timer reach zero, Hanashi could hear a loud siren coming towards them as a moment later to his horror, a large truck was coming after them with a max speed so Hanashi quickly pushed Kaoruko out of the way and yelled at him to run as fast as he can.
Hanashi: 「 Kaoruko run!! 」
Kaoruko was petrify when he saw the large truck driving towards them as he quickly followed Hanashi's instruction and run away faster without asking for any question and even looking back.
〔 Target is now alone.....Target must be eliminated. 〕
Hanashi: "Wait- Target alone? Then that means."
Hanashi: "I'm there main target and not the both of us!"
Hanashi was horrified when he read this notice since now he realize that this truck main target wasn't not the both of them but just himself so he tried to ran as fast as he can however before he can outrun the truck it manage to hit him first.
〔 Target has now been eliminated. 〕
〔 Target would now be transported to set location. 〕
--------------
A few minutes later, Hanashi woke up and found himself surrounded by nothing but a black and dark emptiness. He stood up and saw another blue message board infront of him that read.
〔 Congratulations you have been dead hit by a truck. 〕
Hanashi: 「 ... 」
Hanashi: "What the hell is this?!?! Is this kind of humiliation!!!!?"
Hanashi was shocked and annoyed by the message that was inside the message board so due to his irritation he quickly grab the message board and plan to throw it but before he can even grab the message board it disappeared all of the sudden.
Hanashi: 「 What the- Where did it go?!? 」
『 That isn't a nice thing to do, Host. 』
Hanashi: 「 You don't have a right to say that to me after you- Wait....Who's there?! 」
Hanashi irritation quickly dissipate as it was soon been replaced by an unease feeling around him when he heard that someone was speaking to him however once he turn his head to where the voice came from, no one was there.
『 I was waiting for you Host. 』
Soon enough, Hanashi saw a small round robot appeared in the darkness as it flew down infront of him and was still floating. Hanashi became a little bit confuse on the appearance of the robot as it looks cute but he felt a little bit unease.
Hanashi: "A robot? Is this a real robot?"
『 Answer: Yes, I'm a real robot. 』
Hanashi: "Eh? Hold on- Hey, Can you hear my thoughts?"
『 Answer: Yes, I can hear your thoughts Host. 』
Hanashi was a bit startled at first but he became amuse and interested on this robot that can hear his thoughts.
Hanashi: "Why did you bring me here? And stop saying answer while you are answering my questions."
『 Ehem...I picked you to be my host since I was looking for someone who are fitting enough to handle and complete all mission with me. 』
Hanashi: "And you pick me for that?"
『 Yes, Host. 』
Hanashi thought for a while before questioning the robot again about its identity and the robot apologize to him since it seems that it forgot to introduce itself and welcome him first.
『 Ehem....I forgot. 』
Hanashi: 「 ..... 」
『 Welcome Host, I'm System 3 and I'm going to be your assistant in your future adventure. 』
Hanashi: "So a robot can also forgot, huh."
『 Host, Please don't mention about this again in the future. 』
Hanashi want to continue on teasing the system but he stop after he sense and heard that the system was embarrass by it mistake.
Hanashi: "So where are we exactly?"
『 We are currently inside your consciousness. 』
Hanashi: "My consciousness?"
Hanashi was surprise by this so he quickly tried to explore this place while the system followed behind him patiently. After a few minutes of walking in an never ending darkness, Hanashi soon felt very tired from walking for quite a while in this darkness.
Hanashi: "Why is my consciousness so dark and empty?"
『 Maybe because you have a dark and soulless consciousness. 』
Hanashi: "What did you say?!?"
Hanashi can tell that the system has a huge smug on it's face so he can't help but be annoyed by it.
『 Ehem....I didn't say nothing Host. 』
Hanashi: "You better be!! YOU STUPID SYSTEM!!"
『 ...So according to my own knowledge about it, is that your consciousness is currently empty because your body and mind are now dead so that's why it is so empty and dark like a void. 』
Hanashi: "So if my body is alive right now and I'm here then there might be a possibility that I can see what I absolutely feeling about or what I am awared about my surrounding?"
『 Well if you put it that way, maybe yes and maybe no? 』
Hanashi laid down from exhaustion. Upon hearing the system explanation, he quickly understand and he let out a small sound of 「 Oh. 」 before he rest for a while and chatted with the system.
Hanashi: "So what is my goal in this mission that you are talking about earlier?"
『 Well, Your main goal is just to complete all the task and mission that will be given to you and all the mission and task you complete will surely award you with points. 』
Hanashi: "Points?"
『 You'll learn about that later Host. 』
Hanashi decide to rest for a while when he receive another notification message board infront of him that read.
〔 All new Host and System, Please be ready and you'll be transported to your respective given location. 〕
Hanashi was very confuse on what does this notification meant so he quickly questioned the system about this.
Hanashi: "System what does this message mean?"
『 So it is already are starting, Are you ready Host? 』
Hanashi: "Ready for what?"
『 Well then Host, let's go. 』
Hanashi was still very confuse and he was soon became shock when a strange light circle formed below him as it was starting to consume his body however before he can be consumed by the light, he heard the system.
『 You'll be transported to one of your abandoned novel, Goodluck. 』
Hanashi: "Wait- What kind of novel?!?!?"
Hanashi was startled when he heard this as he had written a lot of novels that he had abandoned and most of it would be dangerous for him to live in but before he can even finish his question, Hanashi body was now consumed by the bright light as his body soon disappeared along with the light and his vision slowly blured out as he lost his whole consciousness.
--------------
Later on, Hanashi wake up again and he was sitting on a large tree in the middle of a strange but a bit beautiful weadow when he looked around the place he can see that there are many strange creature that was walking around and they seems that they haven't notice him.
Hanashi: "What is this place?"
『 Welcome Host to Heartem Dynasty, a fantasy and magical world where orcs, fairies, elves, drawfs, and other strange but magical creatures exist. 』
Hanashi: 「 ..... 」
Hanashi: "That name...Wait- Don't tell me."
『 Correct Host, You've been transported into your old and abandoned novel that was named Forbiddened Leveling Love. 』
Hanashi: "Even the name that I've given to that novel was awful enough."
Hanashi fall down to his knees when he heard that name since he can still remember clearly the whole story of that novel and the story itself can be said as boring and the characters he had written have no development so just from remembering it can make him embarrass.
Forbiddened Leveling Love |
A novel that tell a story about a forbidden love between a prince who was a level 25 swordman and a commoner girl who was only a level 10 magician that tried to be together even if there are a lot of gap between their social status and level.
Hanashi: "I don't think I can survive this world from all of this embarrassment!!"
『 Don't be like that Host, You can survive this. 』
The system can sense the negative emotion that it host are feeling so it quickly comfort Hanashi so that he won't be discourage on completing this mission.
Hanashi: "Ha....Maybe your right."
『 That's the spirit Host!! 』
Hanahi: "So what is my main mission in this world?"
『 Well you can always see if you have any new mission or task on your mission board or screen and it can show you directly on what is your rewards after you complete that mission. 』
Hanashi: "How can I see my message screen?"
『 If you want to open up your mission board to see your mission and task then you can always say the operation command of [ Mission Screen ] and your mission board would soon be appear infront of you but only the Host can see it. 』
Hanashi: "Oh...Then can I just say those words in my head? Since if I just say it randomly in some places then some people must think that I'm crazy."
『 Ofcourse you can do that Host but for other things like skill commands then you don't need to say those things in your head. 』
Hanashi: "I understand, then let me test this."
Hanashi: [ Mission Screen ]
Hanashi followed everything on what the system told him as he thought of the operation command of the mission screen on his mind then a few moments later and a blue message screen appeared infront of him.
〔 Verifying Host and System.....Verified Complete. 〕

Hanashi: "Welp, It looks like I can't die and that I should explore more of this meadow place."
『 Good idea Host, Walking around the woods gives you a better understanding of the environment of this meadow place and maybe you can gather more new information about the creatures living within. 』
Hanashi: "Well first, How can I close this?"
Embarrass by this, Hanashi was dumbfounded on how all of this operation commands work so it took the System a lot of time making him memorize and remember so after a while and Hanashi can now remember all of it so he quickly close the Mission Screen.
Hanashi around the place and notice several things that catch his whole attention since he was a bit relieve a little that the whole place is just like Earth however the only difference is the creatures that exist and that there are a lot of towering trees covered in vines and leaves and strange creatures walking around.
As he was walking around, Hanashi manage to be able to stumble upon a forest where when he entered the forest, it seems like a peaceful place however when he got somewhere deep within the forest. Hanashi receive a warning notification from both message and the system.
〔 Warning: Level 5 creature is near, Please be aware and be ready. 〕
『 Host, Please be careful. 』
Hanashi: "I know that."
Hanashi let his guards up as a few moments later, Hanashi was suddenly have been jumped by a large creature behind him. Hanashi turned his head and was shock when he saw that the creature turns out to be an enormous black wolf standing right before in his own eyes. Its fur glows faintly as it stares at him intently.
Soon enough and Hanashi receive another notification message.
〔 New Task: Please Open Message. 〕
Hanashi quickly back away and ran as fast as he can while he opened up his mission board.

Hanashi stop and hide from a large tree and peek out to see that the black wolf was still trying to find him. Hanashi closed his mission board.
Hanashi: "System, What should I do now?"
『 Well according to your task Host then you should go on and kill it. 』
Hanashi: "I have a strong weapon to defeat that right?"
『 ....Of- Ofcourse Host... 』
Hanashi: "Fine, Then let's see what weapon do I have but why do I feel like you are lying-"
Before Hanashi could even finish his sentence, the black wolf let out a huge sound wave that blow out the tree on where he was hiding.
Hanashi: 「 Damn it....It's too strong. 」
Hanashi: 「 Well then, let's battle. 」
Hanashi: 「 Inventory. 」
Hanashi was feeling a bit courage since he thought that he might have a nice and strong but when he looked around his inventory, he just found a wooden stick.
Hanashi: "Eh? A wooden stick?"
Hanashi looked towards with his face covered by a dark shadow and he quickly took out the wooden stick however he was silent for a while.
『 Host, Don't die. 』
Hanashi was annoyed when he heard the robotic voice of the system in his head and his silence was broken as he shouted angrily.
Hanashi: "How can I survive with only a wooden stick?!!!! YOU STUPID SYSTEM!!!"
『 .....Host, Be strong..... 』
Hanashi: "..."
