Mr. Furuya Is Drawing Cards Again Today

Thirty-year-old Furuya sacrificed his life on the night all the Red Faction members launched their final assault on the Organization.

When he opened his eyes again, time had turned back, and he had returned to a year earlier.

A secret identity card-drawing System came to him. "The world is under invasion. Help me drive out the outsiders, and I'll reward you when you complete your missions. Anything you want is possible, whether it's turning back time or bringing the dead back to life."

The System said, "Every card in my secret identity pool is someone you know who has already died in this world. As your synchronization with each secret identity increases, their own consciousness will awaken, and they may even be temporarily revived."

"But the deeper your bond with someone, the harder it is to draw them."

To draw his childhood friend, Furuya diligently completed his missions.

If he didn't have enough luck, he'd just have to rely on the guaranteed draw.

The open beta for the 100%-freedom full-dive game Scientific Life opened, and players flooded in.

Contrary to the advertising, the worldbuilding now included supernatural elements.

A mad scientist couple who had been dead for seventeen years sent out an invitation: "Would you like to join us in uncovering the secret of bringing the dead back to life?"

The twin stars of the Bomb Disposal Squad, who had died in an explosion, wandered the streets late at night. "You carry the scent of death."

A First Investigation Division police officer who had died in a car accident and his wife ran an everything shop that only served those destined to find it. "You can't afford the price of this item."

A blue-eyed ghost who lingered on a rooftop smiled gently. "Want me to teach you a skill? Sure."

The native residents temporarily living in Furuya's consciousness had no time to care what players thought of the new settings.

"Hey, why is Mister Kei's script the only normal one? You definitely put your own preferences in there!" one of the twins, the curly-haired one, demanded indignantly.

Furuya didn't hear him.

He was busy. Had someone just said something?

No.
