Chapter 26: Chapter 24 – Fighting instinct

If you get first place as the grand prize, you will have a reward of 200 000 yen, that's about less than 2000 US Dollars, Not a lot of money. The only upside you get is being published as part of the JAMP Magazine. Alex knew something was really wrong with this world. The artist here didn't earn as much as he think they could be earning. 2000 US dollars is a trivial matter to many, but getting a serialization in JAMP magazine is the dream of many Manga artists so why is the pay so low?

At this time, Alex, who was only 18 years old but is actually thirty-two can't feel excited at all about this little prospect, he should be very excited, but for this low amount of monetary rewards compared to what the system tells him from before, he fundamentally changed the way he views the concept of the industry, by changing many lives with a single title. There should be more than this. The world can sense it, that is why it felt threatened by it, in retaliation he tried to harm Alex directly, but since it is unable to do that...Alex has already guessed that the World will probably change something external to keep the current world progression in place. 

Whatever it is, The series "Kyoto Ghoul" was not supposed to exist.

Aya Gozen called him on the day she went to register for his Serialization, He knew there would be some sort of backlash, but he didn't know it would be this swift, the world seems to move in a mysterious way to stop him from getting his series published, with anguish in her voice, Alex could felt that she was very disappointed with JAMP for pulling out like that, Alex found out that her sister was also the CEO of JAMP Japan, it's funny how fate weaves its way like that.

"I'm sorry Alex, This is all my fault.."

"It's alright, I'll think of something, go get some rest, Miss Aya, I need to check some things, see if we can salvage this.."

"Alex, we could try and publish on our own on Comiket, it won't be huge..but at least it's a proper debut? i knew some publishing company that we can go to directly, about the money..I.."

"I'll think about it, don't worry, the money too."

Alex could only surmise that the majority of the prize money is held by JAMP, Realistically, he won't be getting that cash. Alex is thinking really hard right now about the path he wanted to take. He's still in High school. Does he wonder if he should just break away from Japan and start up his own webcomic company? He wondered if she could start something new in this world, something that isn't held by Nationality or even Country. A union of industry of Manga, Manhwa, and even manhua to coexist together including American comics, all under one banner.

Alex pop up his smartphone and went to the search engine and typed various things in it.

Right now he's researching some local stuff regarding the Mangaka of this region, he wanted to know if there are any similar cases just like him. This couldn't be the first time that it happened, Unlike the previous world, this current world was still trying to catch up in certain aspects of the culture and technology, the socio-economy and social problems they had will probably be different as well due to the gap in the parallel world.

And he found what he was looking for, several articles of similar things that happened to him, albeit in different situations but the modus operandi were almost the same. They are other victims of this as well. Other mangaka's just like him that has to bow out from the Manga scene due to JAMP's unusual corruption from the forums.

"So I'm not the only one? that's comforting"

He even found one of the names that shared with someone super popular in his old world, it's no wonder their works didn't appear in this world, All of them were either silenced or the original mangaka's simply quit the industry before realizing their potential.

Now that he has the system, perhaps a fighting chance isn't too far ahead, he could even seek justice for all these people as well and perhaps poach their talents to his. He thinks he could really do it. A one-man army that could revolutionize the creator industry. Because right now, the current industry just isn't working for him.

If in his previous life, he have gotten 200,000, yen he would probably blow it all on gacha and figurines. Alex would go to the Internet cafe for one night! and probably blow it all off on games too, after all, what he earned in Marbel was a lot better than this.

Speaking of figurines, he might just make those figurines himself, and create a game based on his works? nothing is off-limits.
In the studio with his phone in his hand, Alex held his chin and thought about it, what he could do to start something off with the world hounding up his ass. he could build a website to host his Manga. and put up a pay per view system? or simply make online ads, that's something that hasn't been popularized yet, feasible, but not reliable.

"Hey system, is this the retaliation of the world for failing to eliminate me?"
