Author's Reincarnation in a Fantasy Setting

Before I died I was of fourteen years of age. I had completed my middle school recently and had shifted to a new city to join a good high school. However, due to that, I had to live alone in an apartment. 

My parents did it for me so I could have a comfortable place to study and improve myself, but I did everything except study. It was mostly because I got into anime and games so much. 

I indulged myself in watching anime all day and then pulled all-nighters to play games and harass people online. Due to that at some point, I even stopped going to school. 

All I would do was wake up, order food online, watch anime, eat food, watch more anime, eat more food, masturbate, play games, and then sleep. I had stopped going out of my room completely and had shut myself out from the outer world. 

My parents started to worry about me when they found out about my condition after they got calls from the school. The city I lived in was far from our home so they couldn't come to see me but they started to call me every day. I answered them for a few days and then smashed my phone. It was irritating, after all. 

In the midst of all that I picked up loli_pop's novel. There wasn't much story in it but it had hot girls and lots of sex scenes so it was good enough to keep me reading. 

Although one day when I was busy reading the novel someone knocked on my door. I tried to ignore it at first but it didn't stop so I went and opened the door, and there I saw my parents. They had finally arrived. 

Right after I opened the door they began to scream at me, accusing me of how I had wasted their money and was a disappointment as their son. 

It made me angry, really angry. I brushed my father aside and left the room. I thought about going outside and breathing in some fresh air to calm myself down, so I went downstairs. 

However, when I was walking down the stairs I slipped and fell. Hitting my head on a sharp spot on the stairs I died on the spot. 

After that, the thing I wished for every single night finally happened to me. I found myself reincarnated in a world of sword and magic. I had seen tons of anime and read dozens of light novels about this thus I knew the scenario very well. 

That's why I was able to figure out that rather than being reborn as a baby and restarting my life from zero I had just been summoned into this world with a new body. I had no family here, nor anywhere where I belonged. 

Soon after that, I found out about my powers. I had Excalibur with me and a good status, which made me quite a lot more powerful compared to a normal person. 

A month or so later in this world I finally figured out that this world was the same as the novel I was reading. And up until you pulled me out of it I was in the illusion that I had somehow jumped inside the novel and that this world was not real. 

I found out about the Zaforths Magic Academy and got myself enrolled. With the powers I had getting in was no tough of a task. And there I saw Anya and fell in love with her.

"And since you knew the plot of the novel, you knew you could use that to your advantage. However, when you saw that the plot was straying from its original direction and Anya was not falling in love with Leon, you crafted a plan to make it happen," I said, interrupting Akumi. 

"You sent Anya a letter telling her that she had to get together with the person who saves her or me— her brother will die, and then you hired and sent three students to harass her at a time when Leon would be passing near her. He ended up saving Anya which forced her into a tough mental state since she was being forced to enter a relationship which she clearly didn't want."

That was right. I knew the moment I recognized who he was. Akumi was X, the person who sent Anya that letter back in the academy. He was also someone originally not from this world and knew about the plot of the novel, that's how he was able to plan it all out without leaving any trace and execute it flawlessly. 

"What? No," Akumi stated, looking at me. The answer was rather surprising. Had I miscalculated something?

"It's true that I sent her that letter and that I arranged for those students to corner her, but I didn't plan for Leon to save her. Nor did I want to get him and Anya in a relationship to have the advantage of knowing what's going to happen in the future," he clarified. 

"What do you mean? Why'd you do it then?" I asked, trying to confirm my doubts. 

"While it's true that I did all that, I did all of it so that could be the one to save her from those students and then get in a relationship with her. 

"Although when the time to do that came, I suddenly had a bad stomach ache due to the food I ate in the morning and I wasn't able to reach there in time to save her. That plan was a total failure," he explained. 

"I see," I mumbled as I nodded my head. "So that's why you did all of that huh."

There was no way for me to know it at that time, I had severely misjudged something important. All the time I was trying to figure out what the intentions of X were, I thought of all the things he could try to accomplish yet I wasn't able to reach a satisfying conclusion. 

Why?

Because the thing I had miscalculated, was the fact that Akumi was a fucking idiot.
