Writing Manga in a Fantasy World
novel
Raphael spent years trying to make a living from art - but after countless rejections and shelved dreams, he gave up the pencil... and hope. Until he wakes up in a fantasy world in the body of Raphael von Kaelen, the third son of a bankrupt noble family. Exiled to a forgotten castle, Raphael felt hopeless until he found a magical grimoire where anything he drew would take shape - as long as he had enough mana to pay the price. Starting out by copying ordinary books to survive, Raphael soon realized something even stranger: the more his stories moved people, the more magical power he gained. Now, with a paintbrush in his hand and references from a thousand worlds in his head, he decides to rewrite reality itself: "No talent with a sword? Then I'll redraw and learn a master swordplay." "No magical aptitude? How about recreating and mastering Dragon Slayer magic?" There's just one problem: the people of this world are beginning to believe that books are autobiographies... And Raphael, for convenience (or survival), isn't too keen on correcting that impression. After all, if the world needs a hero, he might as well invent one.
