Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 — You Have Chosen the Road to Death!

A human's limit is four thousand words a day.

Clearly—

Fuuka Shirayuki had already reached the edge of that limit.

If she pushed any higher… she'd only enter the realm of a humanoid limit—

Meaning:

Pretending to be human— even just maintaining a human form—would become extremely difficult.

After she posted the chapter, Fuuka Shirayuki watched red notification dots pop up in the comments section like crazy.

"Is this a sign I'm about to blow up?" she murmured.

Her lips curved into a faint, amused smile as she thought it.

But she knew perfectly well what kind of "blowing up" this was going to be.

Without hesitation, Fuuka Shirayuki steadied her mindset and clicked into the comments to see what kind of battlefield it had become.

The first thing that hit her eyes was practically scripture:

[Are you out of your mind? Tokai Teio can't win her debut race? Why don't you say RNG will drop in quarterfinals or round of sixteen too!]

Then came the comment section—each with its own flavor:

[I am a historian. This is history—meaning it's pure shit. Delusional author, diagnosis complete.]

[If you want to fool yourself, fine—don't try to fool the rest of us, brother.]

[Four thousand words a day? Even if it's a pile of crap, I still have to praise it as a fragrant pile.]

[Author, stop writing for a sec—got a question.]

[Nah, no way. Author Old Feng is out here "riding the wind," drifting free with nothing to rely on.]

If, back at the start, she'd written the Noblewoman's "broken engagement" story…

Readers had mostly held the attitude of: This is bad, but I can accept it.

What if that part of history really existed?

Like those wild "unofficial histories" claiming Kangxi was Hong Chengchou's son, or that Ying Zheng was Lü Buwei's biological child…

Official history isn't necessarily "official" enough— but unofficial history is always wild enough!

And besides… those Uma Musume at the top looked so dazzling and glamorous. If they had some messy "history," it would add a whiff of humanity to them.

But if what came before was "unofficial history"…

Then what was this now?

Holy hell.

This is actual dogshit!!!

A massive, incomparable steaming heap had been dumped right in front of everyone!

Even pinching your nose wouldn't let you take a bite and judge whether it was salty or bland.

Tokai Teio—who was she?

Do we even need to explain?

As the heir of the legendary "Emperor," Symboli Rudolf, Tokai Teio had been watched and expected from the moment she was born—expected to become the eighth Uma Musume in history to win the Classic Triple Crown…

And it didn't stop there.

What Tokai Teio pursued was something even stronger, more perfect, more flawless than the Classic Triple Crown—

The Unbeaten Triple Crown!

If anyone else said that, it would be pure bragging.

But she was Tokai Teio.

So it wasn't bragging—

It was something that could genuinely happen!

Tokai Teio still hadn't even become a pro Uma Musume yet, but ever since she entered Central Tracen Academy, the most common news was:

"Another record got smashed by the Emperor again!"

Why "again"?

Because it wasn't the first time.

As the most promising Unbeaten Triple Crown candidate since the Emperor, the spotlight on Teio was dazzling beyond compare!

And now—

Some random author suddenly jumps out and writes a storyline where Teio fails her debut race.

Do you seriously think that could happen?

Even if Uzi came out of retirement, joined T1 as a top laner, and won Worlds; even if NiKo lifted a Major trophy; even if Ame's "sword heart" remained and he hard-carried Medusa to a championship; even if those old legends from '97 each took one title—

All of that would still be more likely than Teio failing her debut race.

Because—

Tokai Teio never even said when she would run her debut race!

So saying "Tokai Teio will debut in six days and lose"…

Isn't that just pure delusion?

Case closed: FAKE.

So naturally the comments section erupted into chaos. Even the few people defending Fuuka Shirayuki got flamed so hard they didn't dare show their faces.

Honestly, this time, Fuuka Shirayuki's shameless hype move was a little too big.

She felt like she'd soon see her book—and herself—showing up in other places.

But…

"It's normal for humans not to believe in a god," Fuuka Shirayuki said, the same playful smile still on her lips.

As an author, her emotional control was excellent.

She wouldn't be like some device and start punching the monitor to death first.

Fuuka Shirayuki just thought these people were interesting.

She fell silent for a moment.

"Daring to defy a god!"

"Good!"

"You have already chosen the road to death!!!"

Fuuka Shirayuki let out a cold laugh.

"Then watch carefully—the debut race six days from now."

But speaking of it…

Fuuka Shirayuki had noticed her Popularity Points in the system kept rising.

She thought: even if she'd see herself spreading elsewhere, this shameless hype was still worth it…

Japanese light novels were written in "volumes."

A single volume could take months.

And at this point in time, even the webnovel world next door hadn't been pushed into the era of "everyone writes 4k a day" by someone called "Xue Hong"…

So an author like Fuuka Shirayuki—so hardworking she could update 4,000 words daily—

Even if her writing was a little… floaty.

A little… wildly unrestrained.

She still attracted a specific audience.

What if they liked exactly this kind of thing?

Back in her previous life's QQ groups, there were people who posted "history" every day, rolling around like dedicated shitpost historians!

So—

When Fuuka Shirayuki opened the "Divine-Brush Uma Musume" system again—

[Popularity 67/100]

[Popularity 69/100]

Her popularity climbed violently from the original 33.

It looked like she'd soon hit the 100 Popularity requirement for the beginner task…

Now—

Only one last question remained.

"System, let me confirm one thing again… as long as my popularity reaches the requirement, no matter what happens, you can make it come true, right?"

Fuuka Shirayuki tilted her head up at a dramatic forty-five-degree angle and stared into the void.

The system replied quickly: "Yes."

In other words…

Even if Fuuka Shirayuki wrote something like Tokai Teio starting with a huge escape, then losing speed, then surging back with a killer finishing kick, then losing speed again, then bursting again…

Or Tokai Teio getting thrown sixty or seventy lengths behind by Amatsuki Ruri right from the start—

No matter how ridiculous—

It would still happen.

The only problem was—

Fuuka Shirayuki still hadn't written the script for Tokai Teio's defeat.

The system seemed to detect what Fuuka Shirayuki was thinking, and hurriedly added:

"If you write an extremely complex script, it requires more popularity… I mean, the more outrageous and complicated the plot is, the more popularity it costs."

Fuuka Shirayuki asked, feigning confusion:

"But… isn't this a beginner task? Beginner benefits—what you're talking about is later stuff, right?"

"And don't I get a Perfect Recreation Card for completing the task? So right now, I can write this race however I want, can't I?"

The system suddenly felt a bit emotional.

This host's logic makes way too much sense…

For a beginner task… it really couldn't demand too much.

So the system compromised.

"Only this once!"

"Remember—only this once. For the beginner task reward, you can write freely. After that… you'll need popularity points and your own physical qualities."

"Even actors need the 'stamina' to keep performing on screen."

A flicker of amusement flashed through Fuuka Shirayuki's eyes.

Right now…

She still hadn't figured out what kind of "falling at Luofeng Slope" script to give Tokai Teio.

But there was still time, wasn't there?

Fuuka Shirayuki stretched lazily and decided she'd think about it later.

As her first enemy in this new world…

She thought—

I'll give you a grand ending.

As she thought—

[Popularity 100/100]

[Beginner Task: End]

[Please arrange a race with any Uma Musume as soon as possible, and fabricate her outcome. Reaching 100 popularity and completing the plot will be considered completion.]

[Reward: Perfect Recreation (one use).]

[Reward: Random Hex Card draw (one time).]

[Task Complete.]

[Distributing rewards…]
