Is it not a galgame?

"Big Sword" is a comic created by neon cartoonist Kyouhiro Yagi.

Since ancient times, demons have invaded the human world, taking the form of humans and devouring human internal organs. Humans, who are helpless against the demons, can only turn to female warriors carrying giant swords for help.

Because warriors gained superhuman strength due to the mixture of demon flesh and blood in their bodies, humans also regarded them as aliens. On the one hand, they relied on them to kill demons, but on the other hand, they feared and rejected them, calling them "Claymore". (Big Sword)".

When the appearance of demons broke the peaceful life of an ordinary mountain village, the helpless village chief had no choice but to turn to the Big Sword Organization for help.

A soldier with a cold face accepted the commission and came here, thus kicking off this magnificent story.

"Big Sword" is undoubtedly a work worthy of attention.

It not only has the visual impact of "Attack on Titan" and "Legend of Blades", but also gives the story a unique depth. This does not simply place women at the forefront of the battle, but depicts how they struggle to survive in a cruel world, grow stronger, and ultimately transform into invincible warriors.

As of December, Big Sword has only serialized 12 issues, but the story already has enough appeal.

Many readers commented that "this comic seems to be very powerful".

In the previous life, "Big Sword" began to be serialized in "Monthly Shonen Jump" in July 2001.

This life may be affected by the butterfly effect, because pokeni founded a comic magazine called Mu Tong, and there is also an annual light novel and comic award with a prize amount of up to 1000 million yen.

In the past few years, it has accumulated a lot of popularity and is gradually catching up.

Although it is not as good as the established large companies such as Kodansha and Shogakukan that have been in business for decades, it has gradually opened up and become one of the most popular comic magazines among young people.

In particular, the bonuses are generous, and many popular masterpieces have been released in recent years.

For example, the earliest "Yu-Gi-Oh!", "Naruto" at the beginning of last year, etc.

This time, Yagi Kyohiro chose to publish "Big Sword" in Mutong Magazine. He probably had similar considerations.

It also shows from the side that the influence of Muchong magazine and the pokeni group behind it cannot be underestimated.

At the same time, it also shows that pokeni has not only achieved success in the fields of games and the Internet, but has also begun to emerge in the fields of comics and light novels.

What is this called?
This is called the power of capital.

Suddenly it spans multiple platforms in the cultural industry.

Moreover, these platforms also have ecological relationships with each other.

Qing Zhiyuan stood in the president's office with a slightly satisfied smile on his face.

Shinji Mikami and Kazuma Takahashi saw this and couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Isn't it just a comic?
Is the president worthy of being so happy?

……

"I always feel like I've seen this comic before somewhere." Shinji Mikami flipped through it and said with some confusion.

Qing Zhiyuan rolled his eyes, how could it not be similar?

"Have you forgotten? That game made by Gen Urobuchi and Hidetaka Miyazaki." Before Qing Zhiyuan could speak, the operations director next to him, Kazuma Takahashi, took the lead and explained with a smile.

"Ah! The Witcher 2!" Shinji Mikami punched his fist and immediately thought of it, "I wonder why it looks so familiar."

It's quite similar. In The Witcher 2, demon warriors gain powerful demonic power by being planted with demon eggs. After death, they become unconscious demons who can only kill.

Among the great swords, each great sword is actually a transformed warrior with demonic power.

Once the demonic power is out of control, they will become complete demons.

The settings of the two are indeed very similar. The biggest difference is that the protagonists of Big Sword are mainly girls.

And the portrayal of each character is quite wonderful.

Rather than saying that the great sword has the shadow of "The Witcher 2", it is better to say that it has the shadow of "Legend of Sword" and "Devilman".

Swordsman Legend, Devilman, the influence of these comics is really profound.

Qing Zhiyuan thought.

But this is actually how human beings are, with future generations stepping on the shoulders of their predecessors and moving forward step by step.

"I actually asked Yagi Kyouhiro, and he said that part of the inspiration came from The Witcher 2. Of course, more of them have a little bit of the shadow of "Sword and Wind Legend"."

Eh?
This time it was Qing Zhiyuan's turn to be surprised.

He couldn't help but smile to himself.

It’s also very interesting to say that it was obviously us who copied the Great Sword, but in turn it promoted the creation of “Big Sword”.

Just like pokeni developed games before, which in turn promoted Capcom's "Onimusha".

This cycle of fate can't help but shudder.

……

"Let's see if we can develop "Big Sword" into "The Witcher 3"." Qing Zhiyuan looked at Shinji Mikami with a smile.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"President, you are really discerning. "Big Sword" and "The Witcher" have a close relationship.

And it seems that so far, we have indeed never released a witcher work with girls as the main body.

The character of Da Jian is also well portrayed and fits the role very well. "

Shinji Mikami's flattery made Qing Zhiyuan feel quite comfortable, and he couldn't help but turn up the corners of his mouth slightly, and he even had some doubts about whether this guy really thought so or just because of the president's face.

But his expression was particularly sincere, and every word he spoke was professional and appropriate.

I have even begun to think about what skills each of these characters should be given in the game.

"It is almost impossible to achieve the kind of close-to-hand combat in comics, let alone cut off certain parts of the body, which will cause the character to wear the mold.

We can first study this as a topic. "

Shinji Mikami talked a lot and finally concluded: "However, there are only 4 episodes at the moment. It seems that it is not easy to adapt before the final ending is released. In the future, one of the sequels of "The Witcher" can be reserved for everyone." A sword is a good choice.”

"Well, you can just make plans here." Qing Zhiyuan said it didn't matter.

As long as Lao Xu can continue to produce subsequent scripts, it would be good to wait until "Big Sword" has been serialized for three to five years and its popularity has increased, and then release the game.

A few people were having a good chat in the president's office.

Before I knew it, it was already past 10pm.

"Okay, let's talk about the specific situation tomorrow." Qing Zhiyuan packed up and prepared to leave.

……

"It's not good, it's not good, president!" The little secretary rushed in in a hurry.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned twice, "What's wrong?"

Akane Ayase swallowed silently, and then spoke after a slight pause:
"Something happened in the United States."

"The plane crashed into the Twin Towers and both towers collapsed!"

"What?" Upon hearing the news, Takahashi Kazuma trembled with fright.

His immediate reaction was -

The U.S. stock market is about to plummet again!

……

This day is December 2001, 12.

It has been more than a year since the Nasnak bubble burst, falling from the original 4300 points to 1600 points.

It has started to pick up steadily recently.

For Americans, it is only a matter of time before the stock market returns to its original peak.

Apple brought back Steve Jobs to take over the reins as CEO. After returning to Apple, several new products were released in 01, and Apple's stock price began to rise.

Also rising at the same time are many Internet companies that originally fell to the bottom due to the bursting of the bubble, such as Amazon, Google...

People have sensed the momentum of economic recovery, and the hegemony of the United States in the economic field is unshakable.

At the same time, the news media also released a lot of exciting news——

The coalition forces led by the United States will prepare to march into Afghanistan in the near future to launch a war against the Antarctic Organization and other aliens, with the intention of arresting Ben Ledeng.

Strong national power, strong military, political and economic strength, make Americans full of confidence.

In this case, everyone believes that the future will get better and better.

The whole world is paying attention, and many people are investing in the US market, hoping to grab the bottom when companies with great investment value in the future are at a trough.

Including Buffett, who was later called the stock god, also strongly bought many stocks in the Internet industry.

No one would believe that under such circumstances, the U.S. stock market would fall.

How could it possibly fall?

According to many people in the industry -

Unless, one day, a fireball falls from the sky and hits Wall Street.

Or, if it is occupied by aliens, it may lead to a sharp decline.

……

12 month 11 number.

On this day, although there were no fireballs, there were no aliens either.

However, a passenger plane appeared from the sky, dragging a long stream of clouds from its tail, and crashed straight into the Twin Towers.

Those who witnessed all this could not help but cover their mouths in surprise and let out a sigh——

“oh my god!!!”

……

In previous lives:

If you want to ask about the darkest day in modern American history, I believe many people will answer - September 2001, 9.

911 was originally the emergency alarm number in the United States and was born in the 20s.

The entire number can be said to be known to everyone in the United States.

No matter what kind of troubles American people encounter, they can get assistance from the American police as long as they call this number.

But since September 2001, 9, this number has almost become synonymous with terror.

Because in the early morning of this day, the 911 terrorist incident that shocked the world occurred.

And this time, it’s December 12th.

A seemingly ordinary and ordinary day without much symbolic meaning.

This day is Tuesday, and coincidentally, September 9th in my previous life was also a Tuesday.

The sky above the capital of the United States, where I feel so distressed, is still clear, but over the largest international metropolis, New York, there is a dark cloud hanging over it.

Everything indicates an ominous beginning.

The U.S. stock market opened for the second day this week.

A plane took off from Boston's Logan International Airport at 7:59 a.m. bound for Los Angeles.

The name of the flight is [American Airlines Flight 11].

8:14，飞机攀升到了26000英尺（约8000米）高度，低于最初指定的29000英尺（约8800米）的巡航高度。

At the same time, the aircraft conducted its last routine communication with the air tower to confirm that it had received navigation instructions.

Sixteen seconds after the communication, the air tower ordered the aircraft to climb to 16 feet (about 35000 meters), but this message and all subsequent attempts to contact the aircraft were not confirmed.

Passengers sitting on the plane did not realize what would happen in the next two hours:
Then a group of gangsters stood up, holding weapons in their hands, and quickly took control of the first-class cabin of the plane. They began to release tear gas, spicy mist and other irritating gases, forcing passengers and flight attendants to move towards the back of the plane, claiming that they had bombs.

Five minutes later, Petty, the flight attendant, contacted the southeastern reservation office of Mi Air via the onboard phone and reported the emergency situation on board. The call lasted for about 5 minutes.

After receiving the call for help, a MIAL employee immediately called the police to the MIAL Operations Center.

The hijackers tried to talk to the passengers, but mistakenly switched the call channel to the tower.

The operation center that received the alarm notified the American Airlines dispatcher and reported the abnormal situation of the aircraft to the tower.

Afterwards, flight attendants Patty and Amy Sweeney repeatedly reported the situation on board to the tower and the MIAL flight service office: the hijackers had stabbed two flight attendants, the cockpit could not be contacted, and there was a bomb in the cockpit.

8:26和8:38，佩蒂均称飞机“飞行状况不规律”，并在8:44中断了通话。

At the same time, Amy Sweeney was reporting to the Airline Flight Services Office that the plane was "descending rapidly" and "flying very low."

8:46:40，米国航空公司第11次航班以大约每小时490英里的速度撞向双子塔一号楼（亦称“北塔”），撞击位置为大楼北方94至98层之间，导致机上所有人员及楼内未知数量人员立即死亡。

The building immediately caught fire. Thick smoke billowed from the entire 94th floor and above, and could be seen from a distance of 1 kilometer away.

Countless people screamed in terror.

At 9:03:11, United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into Tower of the Twin Towers (also known as the "South Tower"), resulting in the immediate death of all people on board and an unknown number of people in the towers.

The building made a violent explosion, like an artillery bombardment, and a huge plume of smoke was emitted.

The building was penetrated by the plane, and then there was a violent explosion.

9 points.

The entire building was cut in half and began to collapse.

Countless citizens screamed in panic and began to evacuate, causing chaos on the streets.

Under the gaze of everyone, and under the cameras of the American media who rushed to the scene as soon as possible, the south towers of these two famous financial and trade buildings in the United States made a loud noise.

Ashes.

9:37:46，米国联合航空公司第77次航班以高达530英里的时速坠毁在米国国防部五边大楼，导致机上所有人员及楼内大量军官死亡。

At 10:28, the north tower collapsed. From the floors above the impact point, no one survived.

The two iconic buildings that originally stood there suddenly turned into two large chimneys billowing with smoke.

……

"oh my god!"

Countless people covered their mouths.

Many people burst into tears on the spot.

There were countless people running and shouting on the streets.

No one would have thought that such a terrible thing would happen in this world-famous and prosperous city.

The collapse of the Twin Towers was like the collapse of the highest flag in people's minds.

If there is a hell in the world, then hell would probably look like this.

……

Bordeaux is a little-known employee of a financial company in the Twin Towers.

Speaking of which, this day was both his disaster day and his lucky day.

He was sent out by the company because he received a call from a customer in the morning.

When he left the Twin Towers and was about to take a taxi to his destination, a plane roared overhead.

The flight altitude of the plane was obviously out of tune. It was too low. It was so low that it penetrated the low clouds above New York.

A long white line was drawn under the clouds.

Then, Bordeaux's whole body was shocked——

The plane hit the north tower directly.

The entire upper level exploded.

Bordeaux only felt the soles of his feet shaking, and a loud sound came from his ears.

When he came to his senses, he found that everyone around him was looking up at the sky.

At this time, the Twin Towers had not collapsed, but he was vaguely aware of the danger.

94 floors.

It happens to be the same floor where the Bordeaux company is located.

In other words, he witnessed the death of his colleagues and close friends.

Bordeaux's heart was shaken strongly.

A bold idea popped up in his mind.

He didn't even have time to grieve, and didn't do anything else. Instead, in numbness, he called the stock managers with his beast-like intuition, short, short, crazily shorting the aerospace and tourism industries, and then using leverage to continue super doubling. .

"It's over, it's over. The U.S. stock market is going to plummet!"

"This is a bombshell."

"Hurry up and go short! Go short! With leverage, you can do as much as you can!"

"Yes, short all airlines, as many as you want!"

……

At 9:38 p.m. Tokyo time, Masayoshi Son, who was preparing to rest at home, was awakened by a ringing phone.

I picked up the phone and took a look at it, and found that it was a call from a colleague in the United States.

"What's wrong Uesugi-kun?!"

After answering the phone, I heard Uesugi's voice coming from the other side, "Masayoshi Son, have you read the news?! This morning, something happened to the American flight. Two planes hit the Twin Towers, and one plane hit the 5th Five-Year Plan. Side Building.”

"what?!"

Son Zhengyi was so frightened that his fingers trembled and his phone fell to the ground.

……

Qing Zhiyuan was slightly startled when he heard what the little secretary said.

It’s not that I was shocked by the news, I just had a strong sense of fate.

The timeline has been closed, and some things seem to be historical inevitability.

It just changed from 911 to 1211.
This kind of thing would be scolded by readers if written in a novel, but it actually happened in real life.

Not to mention readers who didn’t believe it, even the U.S. intelligence agencies deliberately chose not to believe it when they learned the relevant news, so they did not issue a warning in advance.

This eventually led to a catastrophe.

Sure enough, writing a book requires rigorous logic, but reality does not require it.

Of course, if you look into it carefully, there seems to be a deep logic in it.

In any part of this, from the crew to the tower, to the intelligence agencies, to the senior personnel... as long as one person believed and issued a warning, this would not be the result.

In fact, the butterfly effect still occurs,
It's just that Qing Zhiyuan's personal influence on the fields of technology and Internet games is not enough to subvert the national level, especially the calculations based on people.

……

"It's time to buy American stocks." Qing Zhiyuan said.

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked and thought, President, are you crazy?

This is obviously going to plummet!
