Start By Becoming A Mangaka-Chapter 1: Losing Your Little Brother

He opened his eyes and looked around at his surroundings, he was on a hospital bed and the smell of antiseptics assaulted his nose. He wrinkled his eyebrow when he saw a lot of people.

'Where is this?' He tried to think until someone called him with a loud voice.

"Young Master!"

"The Young Master woke up!"

"Hurry up and call the nurse!"

"Call master and second young master quickly!"

"Hurry up!"

He was frowning at them due to their loud voices causing him to get a headache.

"Shut up! You're going to give me a headache!!!" All of them quickly shut up and talked quietly.

He nodded in satisfaction when they shut up and then addressed them, he told everyone to get out from his room because he needed time to be alone.

They all nodded and left his room.

He stood up from his bed and tried to find a mirror when he found on on a counter, he was shocked at his reflection.

He saw a handsome young man of around 16 or 17 years old, he was quite surprised to see he had become young again.

He shook his head and got rid of his meaningless thoughts and started to think about what was going on.

He was quite a successful marketing consultant in a company, but he had to work overtime a lot. He was very tired today when he left work around 11 pm, but unluckily his car was hit by a transfer truck.

In the darkness, he was given two choices from what he assumed was God. He could go on to the after-life or reincarnate into a new life. God told him that he would have to reincarnate into an anime world as he could not reincarnate back into his earth.

He didn't have to think much and quickly chose to be reincarnated, he was a fan of anime, manga, and other novels, and he was also quite familiar with stories of reincarnation.

He wondered if he would get a cheat or a system that would help him in this life. He tried searching through his memory and eventually remembered something.

'Rescue System?'

He read the introduction, it was as the name said, he needed to rescue someone, something, or keep something bad from occurring that the quest told him about.

There were two categories of skills in the system, life classification, and combat classification. The life classification had already opened, but the combat classification was still closed. He didn't think much about the combat and opened the life classification.

He was surprised there were seven sub-categories inside this life classification and it looked very interesting. There were mathematics, literature, engineering, housekeeping, art, music, and sports. Under each of sub-categories, there were much smaller divisions.

In the literature classification, there was a language branch and under the language branch, it was divided into more detailed options.

For example, he had already opened 5 options: Chinese, Japanese, English, Javanese, and Indonesian. But besides those 5 options, all the options in the language branch were gray and he couldn't access it.

It was worth mentioning, that those options looked like a games skills screen. These opened options were all displayed by numbers. He could see his Chinese, Japanese, Java, and the Indonesian language had a 100 point proficient. Only his English had a 50 point proficient.

He was descended from the Chinese but he lived in Indonesia and spoke in Javanese. He understood why these 3 languages he would get a 100 point proficiency, and his English only 50 points proficient, but why did his Japanese have a 100 point proficiency?

He was an otaku, but he didn't think his Japanese would be this good. What's with this situation?

He thought about it and could only conclude it was a reward from the system. He was reincarnated into an anime world, and it would be difficult for him if he didn't know any Japanese.

The interface of the system was quite simple, besides the classification options that he had opened, there was a personal attribute panel, but it wasn't that important right now as he wanted to know what quest the rescue system gave him.

He opened up the quest category on his system interface.

[Main Quest: Save the world of Manga!]

[Quest Goal: Create an interesting manga within 2 weeks!]

[Reward: System lottery 3x]

[System tips - The world of Manga is in danger because there are no interesting Manga's in the world. You have to create an interesting manga within 2 weeks and save it. If you don't create a manga, your little brother will become dysfunctional and you won't be able to create a descendant. You will both become depressed and kill yourselves. Please, try to complete this quest as soon as possible or else you won't be able to save your little brother and the world of Manga.]

He wanted to scream at how unfair this system was. He didn't care about Manga, but he did care about dying and causing someone else to die because of him.

'Wait I have a little brother?'

He couldn't believe that he would lose his little brother if he couldn't make a manga within one week. He needed to begin drawing manga as soon as possible, but he noticed a small problem.

'I can't draw Manga!'

This was a big problem, he could draw some normal things but it was his first time to draw a Manga. He tried remembering any manga that he had read during his past life and tried thinking for a while then finally he remembered he had a system.

'That's right! I have the system!!'

He hurriedly opened his interface, he then opened the art category - painting branch - manga option. He got a quest from opening his manga option.

[Quest: Upgrade the Manga proficiency to 50 points.]

[Reward: Manga 'Fairy Tail' Script.]

[System tips - After you complete this quest, you will get a 'Fairy Tail' manuscript, however, it is better for you to wait to draw 'Fairy Tail' only after you have gotten 100 points proficiency on the Manga option.]

He read his quest then he read in the manga option that he could draw 1 page of manga and he could raise his proficiency by 1 point.

'So I have to draw 50 pages of Manga?' He wanted to scream but he just sighed. He didn't have time to complain, he needed to start drawing manga as soon as possible.

He was in deep thought until someone opened the door.

"Aniki!!"

"Yuuki!!"

He looked at both a middle age man and a teen.

'Hmm?' He looked at both of them and recognized them. He knew both of them were his father and little brother from the memories in his head, he assumed the system put them there.

"Are you okay?" His little brother asked, but he ignored it. He had something more important than that.

He looked at his father.

"What's wrong?" His father asked.

"Can you buy me some manga drawing tools?"

Both of them were dumbfounded.
