62 Accel World

"The story of > occurs in the future when everyone has a microcomputer called NeuroLinker that connect them to the network directly and because of some program, the user can accelerate their brainwaves to the point that time seems to stop."

Haruyuki "Haru" Arita is a short, overweight boy who is frequently ridiculed by delinquents at the Umesato Junior High School. Using his Neuro Linker to escape the torment of real life, he logs onto the school's Local Network cyberspace where he always plays virtual squash alone.

In today's novels and Animes, Taking fat people as the starting point of a story is definitively a big taboo. After all, people who read novel can probably imagine their favorite characters in their hearts, but if the protagonist is a fat person, I'm afraid that people won't be able to persist on reading.

Not to mention that fat man is relatively weak and incapable of doing anything except being bullied.

…

However, because of the protagonist being so weak, He wanted to see his counter-attack to resolve all of the bullyings. As Tomoya continued to read, He didn't notice that he was completely Engrossed in reading.

Although he was weak, his personality was the greatest strength this novel had.

The next day, Kuroyukihime, the school's popular, highly intellectual and attractive female Student Council Vice-President added him to the ranks of Burst Linkers, a secret program that is able to accelerate the human cognitive process to the point at which time appears to stop. And using this same program Kuroyukihime helped him get rid of the bullies.

Haruyuki soon learns that Brain Burst is more than just a program, but an Augmented Reality Massively Multiplayer Online (ARMMO) Fighting Game where people fight each other in fierce duels in order to obtain Burst Points which can be spent for acceleration abilities in the real world. Kuroyukihime then enlists Haruyuki's help in reaching Level 10…

The story comes to an end with more than 40,000 words.

After watching all the current plots, every competitor and novelists were completely stunned. This kind of novel where you can accelerate and affect the world can't be found in any novel nowadays.

"Master. Hahaha… I'm already predicted this, you are the God of Destruction. This novel, Accel World will be great. I'm not wrong to become your disciple." Zaimokuza said

"How did you know I'm the God of Destruction?" Kuroko said

"This is one of hidden my ability, master"

"Do you like my novel, my disciple?"

"Yes, he seems similar to me"

"I'm writing this novel, one reason is because of you. You are fat just like Haru. You are bullied by everyone just like Haru. But in the future, I hope you can get love from a beautiful girl like Kuroyukihime, and shock the world just like Haru"

"MAS….. MASTER" Zaimokuza was crying happily. He hugged Kuroko, but Momoi stopped him.

"Tetsu-kun is mine, don't hug him"

"Yes, Maam"

"Let's accompany m to ASCII Media Works tomorrow, I want to meet an editor."

Of course, his novel didn't get the first place because of the good story. Kuroko used his hacking skill too.

...

Zaimokuza followed Kuroko to Tokyo, Momoi didn't follow them, and practiced at Dojo. Zaimokuza was similar as his previous character, Ryu. He was bullied since Junior High School. He wanted to help Zaimokuza to cure his problem and make him one of his partner to conquering ACG industry. Kuroko wanted to become number one in the world just as the true Kuroko's hope.

When they walked to ASCII Media Works Building in the Tokyo, they saw a huge TV news screen.

Kuroko was speechless.

The next news attracted Kuroko's attention because he actually saw the name Yuuki Asuna on it.

"The world famous company, 'RECT' was collaborating wih American company ZASKAR, developing the large-scale MMORPG game next season. This game was an upgraded version of Gun Gale Online: Fatal Bullet"

"WOW, WOW, master. She is one of our Goddess, Yuuki Asuna. She is beautiful, rich and otaku like us. Now she became the mascot of the new games"

"Of course, RECT company was her parent's company. Moreover, don't hope to get her, she has a boyfriend and in-game husband. Maybe she had lost her first time too. Forget about her, 'Haru' Zaimokuza, in the future you would get your Kuroyukihime"

"Yes Master"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at their destination.

"This is the ASCII Media Works."

Zaimokuza pointed at a 20-story building in front of them and said to Kuroko.

"Yes, you would come to this building recently in the future. You will be one of the professional novelists in the future"

"Yes master, I'll not betray your expectation"

"Don't talk before I gave you a chance, we want to meet an editor"

Under the lead of Kuroko, Zaiokuza entered the hall of the ASCII Media Works building.

"Hello, Welcome to the ASCII Media Works. What can I help you with?"

As soon as they entered, a lady at the front desk wearing a black uniform welcomed them with a smile.

"Excuse me."

Kuroko said with a smile: " I already have an appointment with Editor Kagurazaki-san. Is she here now?"

"Please wait for a moment."

The lady turned around and picked up the phone and dialed a number. After asking, she said to Tomoya and Mu Fan apologetically: "We're sorry, Kagurazaki-san is in a meeting right now. Her office is on the seventh floor, you can go there and wait for her. The meeting will be over in a few minutes."

"Okay, thank you, will go there now."

"You're welcome!"

…

"Master, you said, Kagurakazi-san? The editor that was responsible for many famous writers?

"Yup. "She is responsible for many famous writers, for example, the author of the bestseller light novel is someone she's responsible for. In the future, she would be your novel editor too"
