Chapter 1

With the sound of the dismissal bell, the first morning of Senka's first year in high school came to an end. It was now 12:30 PM on April 7, 1997.

"Really, what a mistake. If I had known, I shouldn't have chosen to come to Sakuno Academy for the sake of convenience..."

He tugged at his stiff tie and looked around. In the high school section of Sakuno Academy, the boys wore dark suits, and the girls wore black long skirts, creating a somber and solemn atmosphere in the classroom, though it lacked vitality.

Senka, sitting in the second-to-last row by the window in Class 2-1, sighed deeply and turned his gaze to the outside.

Unlike the dull classroom, the environment of Sakuno Academy was very beautiful. Various flower beds and an artificial lake adorned the school, making it look like a dreamy place.

In April, the cherry blossoms outside Sakuno Academy had all bloomed. Looking out the window, it was a sea of pink.

Then Senka summarized it in two words: "F*cking."

If it weren't for the pleasant scenery and the prestigious name of Sakuno Academy, he wouldn't have been deceived into choosing this place. There were no white thighs, no sailor uniforms, and the school even prohibited students from dating... Is this even a Japanese school?!

As a穿越者 (穿越者 means "time traveler" or "穿越者" in this context, but it's better to use "time traveler" for clarity), Senka, who had made such a mistake, was indeed at fault. No wonder Confucius said that judging people by their appearance leads to missing out on Ziyu.

Tokyo Sakuno Private Academy, a prestigious school in this timeline's Japan, had a "high deviation value" in Japanese terms, meaning it was highly selective. Due to its history as a British-style aristocratic school, it was stricter than most Japanese schools. The school was located in Setagaya, a wealthy district of Tokyo, and the students here had high levels of cultivation, each one being very proper.

Turning his head, Senka looked back at the classroom. Most of his classmates had already left for the student cafeteria, and there were very few people left. The remaining few were holding bento boxes, chatting and laughing as they walked out.

Bento boxes were quite rare in China, as people either went to the cafeteria or went home for meals. In Japan, however, bento boxes were almost a part of the culture. At Sakuno Academy, due to its prestigious status, fewer students brought bento boxes, but in ordinary Japanese schools, this was more common.

Senka also took out the bento box his sister had made for him. The food, which was hot in the morning, had cooled by noon. In Japanese schools, everyone ate cold bento boxes, which was fine in summer but terrible in winter. Senka couldn't understand why, in a country with a bento culture, they didn't install microwaves in the classrooms. Even convenience stores heated their bento boxes, so why were they so f*cking?

I miss Laoganma, I miss the steaming hot rice.

People are always so sentimental, only realizing the value of something after losing it.

Japanese food was generally very bland. Even after being in this world for so long, Senka still felt that Chinese cuisine could easily surpass Japanese cuisine.

While chewing on the cold rice, Senka took out the club guidebook and started flipping through it.

Sakuno Academy had many clubs, so every new student received a guidebook with basic information and the locations of each club. In anime, when the protagonist needed to find a club, they would suddenly pull out a guidebook, which was similar to this.

In 21st-century China, there were also clubs, but Japanese clubs were different. They were formal, with school-appointed advisors and funding. In some places, clubs had daily activities, and missing too many would result in expulsion, similar to missing classes.

In short, clubs were places to sweat and spend your youth, and sometimes to flirt with girls. Many anime used school clubs as themes, like "Slam Dunk," "Touch," "Killing Tennis," "Yaoi Swim Team," "Yaoi Basketball"... something seemed off...

In any case, Japanese clubs were like that. Moreover, Senka had his own goals, so he was very purposeful in choosing a club and didn't plan to join a random one.

Senka's goal was to join a club related to animation, comics, or games and light novels. In recent times, such clubs were called "ACG clubs" in Japan.

As a time traveler, a perfectionist, and a half-perfectionist, Senka had made detailed plans for his high school life, intending to gradually implement his plans through the ACG club.

However, after finishing his bento, Senka still hadn't found an ACG-related club.

Senka had a bad feeling. Could it be that this school didn't have an ACG club?

"Amami-kun!" The guy sitting behind Senka tapped his shoulder.

"Is there something you need... that...?" Senka turned back to look at the guy with dyed yellow hair.

The guy had yellow hair and ear piercings, looking very imposing and intimidating at first glance.

In most Japanese and Chinese schools, boys were not allowed to dye their hair, but this was a private school, so there were no such rules. However, since these students came from prestigious schools, their upbringing was strict, and even without rules, few dyed their hair. The case of the yellow-haired guy was extremely rare.

Even so, dyeing hair in a prestigious school like Sakuno Academy was still very out of the ordinary. Such people were often troublemakers or second-generation rich kids, and it was best to stay away from them.

"My name is Kiriya Takashi," the guy said.

What a cool surname, Senka was surprised: "Kiriya-kun, do you have a relative named Kiriya Kazuto?"

As soon as he said it, Senka regretted it. This guy might stuff him in a toilet or something.

"Eh, no, I'm an only child. What's up?" Kiriya Takashi shook his head, not seeing anything wrong with it.

"Just an acquaintance, don't mind it," Senka said, changing the topic, "Do you have something to ask?"

"Amami-kun, there's a girl in Class 1 who looks a lot like you. Is she your relative?" Kiriya Takashi smiled lecherously.

"Yeah, my sister," Senka said, looking at Kiriya Takashi.

This guy didn't seem like a delinquent at all.

Although his first impression was intimidating, after a few words, Senka found that he didn't seem strange.

When Kiriya Takashi heard Senka's words, his eyes lit up, but before he could speak, Senka continued: "If you're thinking of asking me to introduce my sister to you, forget it. I will never do that."

Even if you're a delinquent, if you mess with my sister, I'll show you why the flowers are so red!

However, Senka thought that even if Kiriya Takashi was a delinquent, he wouldn't do anything too extreme in a prestigious school. Senka and his sister chose this place because it was close to home and had a good learning atmosphere and reputation. Plus, the former aristocratic school gave him a bit of excitement.

"Okay," Kiriya Takashi nodded woodenly, having been rejected before he could even make his request, and sat back down.

Director, this reaction is wrong!

"Um... Kiriya-kun, what's with your hair?" Senka pointed to Kiriya Takashi's head.

"Oh, I have a quarter British heritage. Cool, right?" Kiriya Takashi was proud of his yellow hair.

What kind of game setting is this? Senka initially thought it was "Sword Art Online," but now it seemed more like "My Friend Few" and "CLANNAD"...

"Amami-kun, are you planning to join a club?" Kiriya Takashi saw the guidebook in Senka's hand.

Senka nodded: "Yeah, and just call me Senka. I might get confused if you call me Amami-kun."

Senka let Kiriya Takashi call him Senka not because of the confusion but because "Senka" was his name in his previous life, and the pronunciation in Chinese and Japanese was similar.

Amami Senka (あまみ しんか, Amami Shinka) was Senka's name in this world. As for why he was in this parallel world, he could only blame the two onion-headed aliens who used him as an experiment and brought him here.

Senka never imagined that the two otaku living next door and discussing galgames with him were actually aliens, and even more, that these f*cking aliens would use him as an experiment.

This parallel world was similar to the original world, with most of the history being the same. The two onion-headed aliens had arranged for Senka to be "reborn" in this world, optimizing and correcting his and his family's genes, making him the "parallel version of himself."

In this new world, not only had Senka's nationality changed, but he also had a sister.

Having a sister and a house, with both parents deceased and the guardian living outside, it was a classic galgame setup. Well, considering this, Senka forgave the aliens.

In this world, Senka's original father was a descendant of Chinese laborers who had been stranded in Japan during the war, and his mother was a well-known female fashion designer who had been famous in the fashion industry.

"Amami" was Senka's Japanese surname. Japan had a strong undercurrent of xenophobia, and it was difficult to succeed with a foreign surname. The rare cases of Chinese people being popular, like "punching the nursing home in the south and kicking the kindergarten in the north," were few. Of course, Japan admired strength, so if you claimed to be Bruce Lee reincarnated, it might work, but most of the time, the "reincarnated" were failures in their previous lives.

Senka's life was like this, but unfortunately, a few years ago, his parents died in a plane crash while traveling in South America. According to Japanese law, after a year of being missing, they were declared dead. So now, Senka lived with his sister.

According to the two onion-headed aliens, this world was not much different from the original world, with most of the history being the same. Only small details were different, like how Zhang San's child in the original world was Li Si, but in this world, it was Wang Wu. Senka's background was similar, though the example might be a bit off, but the meaning was clear.

Senka was flipping through the book, and Kiriya was watching. Seeing Senka's quick flipping, he was curious: "Senka, which club are you planning to join?"

"I'm looking for an ACG-related club, but I haven't found one yet," Senka shook his head and looked at the guidebook.

He saw three literature clubs, but none of them were related to light novels.

The literature club studied classical Japanese literature, and the Western literature club and the mystery literature club focused on serious literature...

As for animation, comic, or game clubs, there was not even a hint of them. There was a computer club, but they didn't do games, and the club description even specifically mentioned this.

To be honest, Senka had always wanted to make 18+ games, write 18+ novels, and watch 18+ anime.

18+, for men, was such a romantic word!

Unfortunately, ideals were beautiful, but reality was harsh, and Senka's heart was cold...

...

PS: Finally, I've started a new book, using my old pen name. Please support me, thank you!

The book has many references and jokes, but they are not related to the main story, so if you don't understand them, it's fine.
