ALL NOVEL Chapter 30 – End of Prologue
Then three years passed, and 2019 came to an end. Unlike in my previous world, there was no pandemic here. In other words, this world will be different from my previous world. I wonder if the amount of investment I know will be the same. Well, to be honest, no pandemic was better for everyone.
So what happened over three years...
Although there was a lot going on, the year after the stabbing was full of treatment and consultations. I could indeed say that I had tasted death. The thing that happened this time was an experience I never wanted to go through again.
No matter what happens, experiencing death and rising from the dead is an absolutely terrifying thing. Therefore, it honestly took me a long time to completely heal, both physically and mentally.
Especially in the early months after the stabbing, I felt fear when I saw sharp objects, the same thing happened to Ai too. It even seemed that Ai was quite traumatized by the sight of blood.
Even Ai herself once again took a one-year break from idol activities and other things. Then she spent her time resting and healing from her trauma. One of the things I did the same as her was take a break from doing work as an actor and the like.
You could say that in that one year, what I focused on was overseeing the progress of the development of the business that Miyako and I had planned, which was a V-tuber with a unit called Kizuna Ai, and it had been a success. In three years, we have already made a lot of generations and even overseas.
The other thing, of course, was about the new gacha games that I used to love to play and that make billions of dollars in sales. It was none other than Genshin Impact, I don’t think I need to change too much. Since, in the end, most of the work was done by the team or developer, we invested while they were making the game under my instruction. In the end, the story, art, and gameplay, even though similar, still had some differences. Even so, it became such a hit as one of the first open-world action RPGs that were free-to-play with gacha monetization, and could be played on multiple platforms, from PC to Android and iOS.
That’s why most of my time in there was just to explain the concept, some parts I remember and like, and of course, the big money to invest in and make the game before publishing it. Either way, the game was released in the middle of this year or during the summer vacation, and within a few months, it had generated enough sales to be phenomenal.
Of course, in that time, I wasn’t just recovering, but also starting to study many things. Like the lesson program had everything; basic acting, singing, voice training, dancing, Japanese dance, conduct, action scene practice, and more. Also in addition, I received lessons in martial arts, horseback riding, swordplay, archery, and other stuff too.
Well, to be honest, after experiencing those, of course, I started to learn stuff like martial arts and others. I don’t know if I would master it to a high level standard, but learning at a young age would be an advantage, right?
In the end, I learned a lot, and I felt like those would be useful in the future. Oh, I didn’t forget that I learned other stuff like writing, scripting, and video editing with Director Taishi.
One day, Director Taishi even asked me something.
"With all of the money you had… What is the point of all of this?"
"Well, I want to become the best. I guess…"
I replied with that lukewarm answer, as I couldn’t just say to him that I wanted to make my father, Kamiki Hikaru pay for what he did. In those three years, he was also rising more than I would have thought.
Especially, not long after the incident that happened to me. He really made a very successful movie and when I heard the title, I could only frown because, even though the title was different, I felt very familiar, and the theme was the same as the movie from my previous world that I never watched before. I knew those movies as famous ones. Yeah, the title of the movie was Train to Osaka, and it was a zombie movie. So I knew where the inspiration for those movies came from…
This makes me wonder if the bastard gained anything else from killing starry-eyed people. In addition, this also makes me wonder if Hikaru gained knowledge from the previous world, especially about movies and other entertainment.
"That answer is kind of like you…But to see someone your age have this kind of schedule makes my head spin."
"Well, to be honest, if you have an interesting movie, I can invest too, you know…"
"That sounds like an interesting offer. However, this one is also very good."
Taishi answered my words while showing me the paper containing the finished script. The script he was holding was something we had made together in the past few weeks. The idea for the movie came from one of the movies I liked as a child. It was a movie that I saw in elementary school and actually watched in elementary school.
The movie is called Children of Heaven. It won several awards in the previous world. Of course, the idea came from me, but since I am still learning to write scripts and also since most of the concepts were quite the same. But I also needed to change the setting and other things to familiarize the movies with Japanese itself, which was something Taishi could most easily do.
Well, one of the reasons I chose this movie, because I can become the main character in this movie. Also, I was quite confident of success, and it was a good one to come back to the acting world after rehabilitation for years.
"Anyway, we will go with this… We will do casting and schedule the production."
"Yeah… I can’t wait…"
It was my conversation with him not a long time ago, or several days at least. Which means shortly I will be starting to act again. I feel like I couldn't wait for myself.
Ah… and the last thing I did in these spam three years. Was something I did with Miyako, of course…
After what happened three years ago, I didn't want to rely on an outside company to take care of my family's security. After earning a lot of money and having the three of us live in a better-secured house rather than an apartment or condo.
Then I also allocated some money to make a special budget without thinking about how much I was spending. That was to create my own security company. Mainly, we try to find and train our own security guards, especially if the people we approach are people I can trust.
And why I could trust them, would be because they were loyal to me or Miyako, and how we do that… Well, the power of money really helped. Since we could recruit difficult people and train them while, of course, putting emphasis on making them loyal to me or Miyako.
Especially a young one to make it easier…
Well, in the past, Miyako wouldn’t let me do this stuff, but this time… she was easily pretty agreeable, and in these three years, several people have already come from our project and been positioned in several positions to increase security for the three of us.
Anyway, three years have passed since the incident that made the entertainment world in Japan quite hectic. Finally, once again, I returned to the showbiz world.
