When Akutagawa Got a System

The unfeeling dog fighting for survival in the Shanty Town wiped the blood from his face, his expression cold.

Suddenly, two voices spoke.

"Hello, I am the Literary Master System. My mission is to train my Host to become a textbook example of a great writer."

"The Beloved Darling System is the best! Host, you'll become the most beloved person in the world!"

Akutagawa: "...What are you?"

Later:

Akutagawa: "I do not trust unknown creatures lightly. They simply happen to provide classic literature to read, a source of income, and ways to develop my ability."

Beloved Darling System: "Sob, sob. Host, I also have a beauty-enhancing function!"

Akutagawa selectively goes deaf.

Books were a recurring fantasy in Akutagawa's childhood memories.

The six-year-old would read whenever he had free time, even if he couldn't understand what he was reading.

Until a centuries-old clan, consumed by infighting and plagued by mental illness, was destroyed in a single stroke.

Akutagawa wondered if the System was some kind of inherited mental illness from his ancestors.

He had hated it.

But... if they really were hallucinations, would they be this ridiculous?

"Believe me, Host. Become a great writer, and one day you'll have a fanboy named Dazai Osamu. I mean, a devoted fan."

"Believe me, Host. The beloved darling is invincible."

Well, he might as well believe them.

Black Organization Member 1: "Seriously, I infiltrated the school, read Akutagawa-sama's book, and realized I couldn't understand a word."

Member 2: "And I don't get the people online who rave about Akutagawa-sama's beauty..."

There will be a romance, AkuDazai, but the author isn't good at writing romance. Chuuya/Aku and Atsushi/Aku are platonic.

Theme: Akutagawa deserves to be happy every day
