I am the Entertainment Tycoon

Yukihime High School, Elffire City.

As soon as the clock hit 11 am, Theo received tons of notifications.

Some were on his phone and others were inside his mind.

But he brushed them off and continued his tour around the school with his sister.

He could check these things afterward.

Plus, he was having fun as he toured around the school with Aurora.

By the end of the tour, they arrived near the school entrance.

"Let's have something to eat?" Theo asked as they walked toward their car.

"Yes! I'm famished!" Aurora exclaimed with a smile on her face.

She was so happy!

She had gotten first place on the rankings and she toured the school with her brother.

It was the perfect morning.

That was the case even more because her brother's album was released that morning too.

She was so proud of him.

"Okay, let's do this." Theo laughed as they arrived near their car.

"I'm gonna check the album!" Aurora exclaimed as they entered the album.

She picked up her cellphone and started checking her brother's album.

Theo chuckled when he saw her actions as he turned on the car.

He drove through the city streets as Aurora checked his album.

Suddenly, they stopped at a red light, and finally, Theo was able to check the notifications he received.

The system notifications!

On October 20th, Theo received two missions.

[Mission - 'Anime is the Way'

As soon as Theo received them, he knew that it would take a while for him to complete them.

That's why Theo took more than two months to complete just one of them!

And the anime mission would only be completed 3 months later when the [SAO] Anime was launched.

Obviously, the mission that Theo completed that morning was the one related to music.

Theo had shining eyes as he read the notifications.

[Ding! Congratulations! You completed the mission 'I wanna be an Artist!']

Theo froze in place as he read the notifications.

He received an SSS-Grade!

Just by the look of it, he knew that this was the max grade that he could get from the system.

He also noticed that the system didn't care that he had copied the songs from artists from his past life.

But the thing that made his eyes shine the brightest was this one.

Theo could not believe his luck.

This was the reward he most wanted since started thinking about opening an animation studio.

He still remembered the times he watched My Neighbor Totoro with his brothers and sisters at the orphanage, everyone was enchanted by the film.

Everyone in the orphanage loved the movies from Studio Ghibli, even more than the Disney movies.

Theo's childhood was spent watching these movies, so Theo was a little emotional when he saw all these movies.

He would be able to bring these masterpieces to Azure Star!

Theo was so happy that he almost could not contain himself.

He started having several ideas on how to proceed onwards with these movies in hand.

'It seems that I will have to accelerate the schedule of the studio.' He thought as he started driving again when the green light lit up.

Theo was planning to start the production of one Studio Ghibli Movie after he released the [SAO] Anime.

That was because he would receive one Studio Ghibli Movie as a reward when that happened, but now that reward became irrelevant.

He didn't know yet how the system would proceed with irrelevant reward, but he knew what he would do.

He would start the production of the movie by himself!

And when the animators got free from the [SAO] Anime production, he would start the division of the studio.

He would open an attached studio and name it Ghibli!

In honor of the amazing studio from his past life.

This attached studio would only have one objective, produce Studio Ghibli movies!

'System, show my status.' He asked inwardly when he stopped the car at another red light.

Theo analyzed his status with attention as it had been a while since he checked it.

First, it seemed that the net worth of his companies received a huge increase. Which meant that Theo had a lot of money.

Just his net worth was 25.6 million dollars!

That was a huge amount of money!

And Theo was sure that it was more than that because the system calculated the net worth based on the monthly profit of his company, that's why the Tokyo Animation Studios had zero dollars listed as its net worth.

After all, until the anime and the streaming service were launched, the studios would earn nothing back.

But in the business world, it was more common to calculate the net worth of a company based on the yearly profits.

And if Theo maintained this level of profit, he would earn more than a hundred million dollars in a year!

But only if he maintained, but Theo was planning to increase the profits!

After all, he had several projects to be launched yet.

'System, assign 3 Free Points to Intelligence and 1 Point to Strength.' He said inside his mind.

As soon as he said that, he felt his mind clearing and his body tightening.

After a while, the sensations stopped and he felt so much lighter.

He felt stronger and smarter.

It was in a good mood that he said inwardly, 'System, spin the lucky bracket.'

Even though he expected something good, he wouldn't mind even if it was garbage.

After all, he was happy with his life and with the way he was living it.

[Opening Lucky Draw Roullete...]

Theo observed the roulette spinning without much attention to it as he drove the car.

Soon after, he heard a ding inside his mind.

[Congratulations! You won...
