#The story of a top-tier undercover agent getting confused, losing his memory, and 'descending to the mortal world to undergo tribulations'#
#A deep dive into that little drama queen's many-layered secret identity filters#
#Why does Chi Lian know someone everywhere he goes?#
One moment of confusion, and everything descends into chaos! A super cool, extraordinary life turns into a comedy about a goofy guy having a breakdown! Chi Lianchi is a tragic, beautiful, and brilliant big shot with countless secret identities belonging to countless 'organizations.' He has more filters than anyone can count, but one day, overnight, he finds himself back at square one!
Chi Lian wakes up in an alley with nothing but a shattered student ID. He's weak, pitiful, and helpless! With the help of a kind police officer, he finally finds his way home, only to discover that his house is an arms depot! He even digs up a stack of SSS-rank certificates naming him 'Undercover Agent of the Year'!
A certain stammering Chi Lian: I-I-I'm so awesome!
But then he looks at his pretty-boy face and stutter, and feels so miserable he wants to bang his head against a wall!
Chi Lian: I-I-I don't know anything!
He'd planned to keep his head down and be a good-for-nothing nobody, but his social network explodes into dazzling fireworks!
A black-and-white-haired fourth-year delinquent tries to snatch him on the sly:
He's my errand boy/our church pastor!
A little guy in black and a bandage-wrapped weirdo fight for his attention:
He belongs in our department!
A bald guy in a cape, full of wisdom:
Chips are half price at the supermarket! Let's go grab some!
The track club and volleyball club tug him back and forth:
The coach says he wants to see you run track/play volleyball!
He gets carried off halfway through a school trip to Hakone:
You're the eleventh member. Go run the ten kilometers you never finished!
A smooth-talking street vendor and a supposed psychic get into a fight:
He's my disciple/follower!
A super-strong Rabbit girl teams up with a dragon-tailed maid to blow things up:
Our idol wants your autograph!
Doing a good deed and giving a statement at the police station:
You're the super-prisoner the warden has a bounty on!
At a mixer with the boys' and girls' high schools next door:
Ahhh! My ex-girlfriend/boyfriend has finally shown up!
Visiting the Demon Public Safety Bureau:
Welcome home, the mysterious sixth senior of the five-person team!
The fierce-looking dragon uncle next door who cooks for a living:
Supplier, where's today's shipment?
Mysterious organizations from Yokohama and Ikebukuro all come calling:
Hamatora/Spicy Chili needs you!
Chi Lian trembles: I-is the world ending? QAQ
*Life in a parallel world is a chaotic mash-up: a series of silly, nonsensical daily-life bits, with no heavy angst. There may be serious OOC, and none of the settings are reliable or stand up to scrutiny. Our little lotus-flower protagonist is the book's most devoted witness and commentator. He's neither a white lotus nor a black lotus; it's just a nickname based on his name. In reality, he's surprisingly a good kid.
*Comments, bookmarks, and gifts are my greatest motivation.
