Chương 6: Writing the novel outline
Lying on the somewhat narrow bed, Hasegawa Kenichi was unable to sleep, but he did not toss and turn on the bed because it was too narrow and if he tossed and turned, he would fall off the bed.
Looking at the crescent moon through the gap in the curtain, he originally wanted to go to bed early and get up early tomorrow, then go to school early.
After all, it was the first semester of school, so it was a good idea to go early to get familiar with the campus, but he couldn't sleep.
The figure of Mrs. Yuigahama kept appearing in his mind. Mrs. Yuigahama's weak appearance, crying appearance, etc.
"Sure enough, after my body became younger, my thoughts became uncontrollable." He couldn't help but shake his head.
In his previous life, he was in his forties and was already a middle-aged man. The difficulties of life and the pressure of society made him steady and mature.
But after traveling through time, everything seems to have changed.
"My body is still too young, and my hormone secretion is a little too strong." He sighed helplessly as he stood up from his bed.
After turning on the light, which illuminated the not-so-large space,. Kenichi sat at the desk.
Since he could not sleep, he decided to start writing a novel. Now that his writing skill has reached level 3, it should be enough to start his novel.
Taking out a notebook and a pen, Kenichi started writing.
Although he had only started writing novels while his writing skill was at level 3, he had actually practiced before and even tried to create an outline.
But the creation of novels is not that simple, especially traditional novels. Kenichi does not know the customs and ins and outs of the Japanese novel industry well, so what he writes may not be adaptable to the local environment.
In addition, his writing level is still relatively low, so what he wants to write now are light novels.
Although he does not have the original memory of the body he was currently occupying, he has read a lot of comics and light novels during this time, combined with the media content he devoured in his previous life.
He had a certain understanding of light novels.
Compared to traditional novels, light novels have much lower requirements for writing and other aspects.
When he was in school, he first read martial arts novels from webnovel and was addicted to them.
Although light novels are different from web novels, they gave Kenichi the same feeling as martial arts novels and online novels.
He had already had an idea of the theme of the light novel, but he had never started writing it before because of his low level of writing skills.
Now he feels that it should be fine with his current level.
Most of the Japanese light novels are about high school romance, isekai, and slice of life. (A/N: The popular and more well-known ones.)
Kenichi felt that although he became younger physically, he was still old at heart, and he probably would not be able to write such themes well.
So when thinking about the subject matter, Kenichi Hasegawa accidentally thought of the anime "Tokyo Ghoul" that he heard about from his colleagues before he was reborn.
To be honest, because of his limited energy, age, etc., he gradually drifted away from anime.
So he only knew the world building of "Tokyo Ghoul," which is a world of cannibalistic ghouls who were natural enemies of humans, and the story of a protagonist who was caught in between the two as he became a half-human, half-ghoul.
But even though he didn't know the full story, Kenichi still felt that the theme was very good.
If he could tackle this well, it could be written with a certain depth.
With that in mind, Kenichi started working on the outline of Tokyo Ghoul.
"Tokyo Ghoul" will still be the same name for his story.
The background is a world where ghouls and humans coexist. Ghouls feed on humans, and humans hunt and kill ghouls in order to protect themselves.
The orphan protagonist of the book, whose parents were killed by a ghoul, swore siblinghood with another orphan girl.
Inadvertently transplanting ghoul organs causes the main character to turn into a ghoul. Nonetheless, he will not eat humans due to his dislike and fear of ghouls.
Even if he were about to lose his mind due to hunger, he still did not attack humans. His sister discovered the protagonist's condition and secretly cut off her own flesh for her younger brother to eat.
Because they are siblings who grew up depending on each other, even if her younger brother turned into a ghoul, the elder sister did not give up on him.
After the protagonist learned about this, he decided to go out to find food in order to prevent his sister from cutting her own flesh for him. After that, he embarked on a whirlpool between ghouls and humans.
At the same time, the protagonist also began to have a deeper understanding of ghouls. Although ghouls were synonymous with terror, in fact, ghouls are just creatures yearning for survival as they cannot consume human food.
From the protagonist's transformation into a ghoul to his acceptance of his identity, etc., a series of plots were listed by Kenichi in a not-too-detailed outline.
Looking at the outline he had written, he nodded with satisfaction as he put down the pen in his hand.
As he started to feel drowsy, he went to bed.

When Kenichi woke up the next day, he found that he had overslept, and it was almost seven o'clock.
After a brief tidying up, he went out directly without eating any breakfast; he would buy something to eat on the way to school.
However, just as Kenichi was walking towards school, he happened to meet Mrs. Yuigahama.
Mrs. Yuigahama was in a bit of a bad mood; there were faint dark circles around her eyes, which she couldn't hide even after putting on makeup.
But it's normal; after all, with what happened at her house yesterday, it would be strange if she had a good rest last night.
"It is you."
When he was thinking about whether to greet Mrs. Yuigahama, she recognized him and talked to him first.
A trace of gratitude appeared on her face: "Thank you very much for your help last night. I was a little confused, and I forgot to ask for your name. I'm sorry for my rudeness."
"It's nothing; we are neighbors after all; my name is Hasegawa Kenichi."
With a smile on his face, he calmly told Mrs. Yuigahama his name.
"Huh? Neighbors? Does Hasegawa-kun also live near here?"
She was genuinely surprised.
"My school is not far from here, so I live in that rented apartment." Kenichi pointed to the apartment, which was not far away.
"No wonder Hasegawa-kun looks so familiar to me; it turns out we are really neighbors. I'm so sorry; we are obviously neighbors, but I didn't even remember Hasegawa-kun. It's really rude of me."
Mrs. Yuigahama apologized again.
"No, because I rarely go out, it's normal that you haven't seen me much. By the way, Mrs. Yuigahama, last night-"
Hearing him mention what happened last night, her eyes dimmed again.
"He is my husband; he was originally a very good person, but unfortunately, he got involved in gambling. As a result, he ended up like this."
Probably because Kenichi helped her last night, she was willing to tell him this. In fact, this was not a secret; you can easily understand what was going on after asking around.
"It's really unfortunate; as a neighbor, if Mrs. Yuigahama needs any help, she could come to me regardless. I can help where I can."
"Thank you, Hasegawa-kun; you are such a good person." Mrs. Yuigahama said with a grateful face.
"We are neighbors, after all."
