The sky had turned a deep orange as Akg walked home from Shizuka's house, the evening breeze brushing past him gently.
His heart still fluttered a little from their close moments. Studying together. Her warm smile. That gentle shoulder bump when she leaned in just a little too close. It was hard to believe this peaceful life was real.
But then again—he had died and been reborn by a god's hand.
And now… the system was about to remind him of just how unreal things could get.

Akg stopped mid-step. "Wait… how much?!"
He quickly pulled out his phone—and sure enough, a brand new "System Bank" app was there, displaying the balance:
¥10,000,000
"Ten. Million. Yen," he muttered. "I can buy my own café. Or start an anime studio."
But the system wasn't done.

Akg froze on the sidewalk.
"System, you can't be serious."
But it was.
His mind flashed back to Yukiko's warm eyes, the way she spoke to him like he was more than just a kid. That grace. That aura. That smile.
Then the danger hit him: If Shizuka finds out… this whole thing could fall apart.
Still...

Akg stared at the screen.

"God really dropped me into an anime, huh?" he muttered.
He tapped his choice—
