I Really Don't Want to Start Over

[Pre-order for the danmei spin-off, I'm Really Just an Unknown Little God, pairing with Geto. Blurb at the very end]

Main story blurb:

Hiruma Kanata realized he had arrived in a strange world.

The people he met had inexplicable dialogue boxes floating above their heads. After speaking a few lines with someone, dangerous-looking options would appear in front of him. Sometimes he would hear a voice from somewhere beyond the heavens tell him how much a character liked him.

He could put all of that aside for now. The most important thing was that if Kanata said the wrong thing or made the wrong choice, he would die in some bizarre way within the next five minutes, then return to the moment he had transmigrated.

After being killed by falling objects while walking, choking to death on bread, and dying of rage when he opened a cup of instant noodles only to find there was no seasoning packet, he returned to the beginning yet again. Hiruma Kanata, eyes brimming with tears, finally let out his heartfelt cry to the heavens

"Please, just let me die! I really don't want to start over again!!!"

When they realized they had each gone through several time loops

The Boss Dazai was miserable because every time he was reborn, it was Monday, and he had to attend the same boring weekly meeting all over again.

The curse-user, the King of Curses, was miserable too, because every time he was reborn, it was the instant before his best friend killed him.

The strongest sorcerer was just as miserable, because every time he was reborn, it was the moment he had to kill his best friend with his own hands.

Then one day, they met the culprit behind it all.

Hiruma Kanata: ?… It wasn't me! I didn't do anything! Don't come any closer!!!

Pre-order, I'm Really Just an Unknown Little God:

Among Japan's eight million gods, Chengsi was an obscure little deity, the kind who couldn't even afford to pay his divine weapon a salary. After sending off the last divine weapon in his household, who had quit and changed jobs, he chose to sleep in his dilapidated shrine to conserve energy.

Then he woke up…

Chengsi was roused by a wandering spirit who had accidentally entered his home, only to discover that the whole world had changed beyond recognition!!!

What was that little square everyone was carrying?!

What were those monsters with four wheels that could move?!

Why did people live in such tall places?!

You mean humans can fly in the sky now? That's impossible!

The wandering spirit answered all the questions of the antique who had slept for several hundred years. He was gentle and mature, and the power of his soul surpassed that of every human Chengsi had ever seen. He even had memories of his life as a human.

Chengsi took him in and gave the man a beautiful name: Chengyu.

From then on, he would live in this world under the name of his divine weapon.

One day, Chengsi grew interested in the human world after listening to Yuqi talk about it. After several hundred years, he finally came down from the mountain.

But he encountered a major incident as soon as he arrived.

Staring at a human monk who looked exactly like his own Yuqi, Chengsi stroked his chin and finally understood.

No wonder Chengyu could still remember his life as a human. It turned out he wasn't dead at all! An outsider had taken over his body, leaving him unable to return home!

The deity decided to stand up for his poor little divine weapon. He pulled open the man's skull and plucked the brain flower lodged inside the little divine weapon's head right out.

A thousand years ago, curses ran rampant and evil spirits held sway.

Amidst the chaos, millions of people prayed for the gods to answer them and protect the world.

Their wish came true, and a god descended into the world.

His name was Chengsi.
