Five years ago, she was hailed as a prodigy literary girl. Now, the sixteen-year-old light novel author Nemume Kyouha has long since lost her halo and become a complete flop. After enduring her editor's indifference, her juniors' mockery, her publisher dropping her, barely scraping by on part-time jobs and cup noodles, and finally a failed suicide attempt... she decides to get back on her feet.
In a cramped, shabby rental room without air conditioning and surrounded by a cemetery, Kyouha stakes everything on an idea she came up with in three minutes and a story she forced herself to write in five days. She submits it to the nation's most prestigious light novel award.
The novel she conceived in less than three minutes is called Sword Art Online.
(The protagonist doesn't know she's copying another work. A copycat story with yuri set in stone.)
