[The plot has gone off track, updates are irregular, but I promise I won't abandon it.]
I'm Tartaglia, fourteen years old, and from another world.
I'm in Yokohama, just got out of the Abyss, gravely ill, and in urgent need of money.
Looking for a kind soul to cover my medical expenses. No need to pay you back.
(A kind passerby who wishes to remain anonymous, Nakahara Chuuya: "...")
A kind soul took in a homeless me and became my creditor.
The good news: My creditor is super strong! He can fight.
The bad news: To fight him, I have to pay him back first.
So, in order to get strong enough to fight him, I worked hard to make money, debuted as an idol, and joined the Port Mafia along the way.
My Mafia coworkers spread rumors that my kind benefactor was my older brother. How could that be? All my brothers are much taller than me.
Besides, he and I aren't "brothers" at all.
We're...
Take a guess?
Once I had some money, I bought the best fishing gear I could find.
Most of the time, I can only catch a black-mud gremlin wrapped in bandages.
When I'm lucky, I can also catch a green, indescribable giant octopus sleeping in the sea.
All in all, bandages don't taste good, but seafood soup is delicious.
My fishing buddy is the president of the detective agency next door.
He says, "A fisherman can catch anything but fish."
Yokohama is full of all sorts of people. Murder and arson, eldritch god worship, parasitic life forms, monsters everywhere. Life is never dull.
Still, I want to go home.
Mom, Dad, my older brothers and sisters, my younger siblings, and Tonia... How are you all doing?
Reader's guide:
1. The main story is told in third person.
2. The story is mainly set in Yokohama, Japan. There are countless authorial headcanons, and if you spot a plot hole, it'll probably be explained later. If it isn't, then it's an intentional rewrite, so don't scrutinize it.
3. My take on the characters is out of character. No one is perfect, and every character has their own flaws to some extent.
4. Chuuya's five friends will be saved (the 16-year-old Port Mafia executives from the novel, not the Sheep).
5. Pairing: Chuuya (Tartaglia as a clingy, crazy, fiercely loyal top who lives off his boyfriend... actually sounds pretty good).
6. A modified Lovecraftian world setting (Legendary Investigator Tartaglia?).
7. Unless it's an extremely outrageous fishing comment (for example, insulting Genshin Impact or Tartaglia), the author won't delete comments.
I've always thought the youngest Harbinger of the Fatui and the youngest executive at the port make a great pairing! And Tartaglia and Chuuya's color palettes go so well together, don't they?

"My Ability Is Elementary-School Math Olympiad"
See my profile for the blurb.
"What Do I Do After Becoming a School Urban Legend?"
Blurb:
These days, transmigrating doesn't seem like such a strange thing.
But when I see other people transmigrate, at least they still become human;
even when they become animals, they're still alive.
So why did I transmigrate into a supernatural school urban legend?
Becoming a ghost in the legend is bad enough. Please, can you stop trying to exorcise me...
I'm just an ordinary ghost who wants to lie flat, binge-watch shows, and eat fries, popcorn, duck feet, boneless chicken feet, pork belly, potato chips, plum-salt chicken cutlets, corn snacks, sunflower seeds, ice cream, cake, chocolate mousse, spicy hot pot, and nothing but. I really don't have some tragic, bitter backstory!
There's an urban legend at a high school in City X. At the start of each new term, one lucky class is randomly selected to get an invisible ghost student.
It's said that anyone who sees him will suffer either an accidental death or, at the very least, fail their exams.
The victimized students form a club and work together to figure out how to exorcise him.
First, holy water and salt don't work.
Then they try to resolve the ghost's lingering obsession: get his parents to apologize, send his teacher to prison... They've tried all sorts of methods, but nothing works.
Not only do they fail, the ghost even ends up comforting them.
Today is another day of shedding tears over the tragic plight of a kindhearted, beautiful ghost.
Bottom: You just have to offer me some greasy comfort soda.
Top: I'll give you some! I'll give you all of it!
This is a lighthearted, heartwarming, sweet little story.

Only then did I realize that I got a rebate... Two people died on the same day...
Oh my God... I have only met one person in so many years who can come back and finish it after rebate...
Ah ah ah, click on the private message to get three copies of the points, I will really thank you!
Ah, rebate? ? ? Am I dying? ? ? ? ?
If he hadn't refunded the points, I would have forgotten this article.
Woohoo, why did I get a refund? I was ready to stock up and watch it again, but it was all gone.
It's too exaggerated... It's my first time to get Jinjiang's rebate... I can really get stuck and be solved...
Are you still not finished after three months of completing the project? (Crying loudly)
Is it true that there is no archived chapter of the chapter? Can you tell me online when there will be a follow-up?
Ah, my first reaction when I saw this was Dazai, the boss. So, madam, you won't tell me that this is Dazai who has a book, right? Very good, I started crying already

Dazai is so miserable, he eats dog food every day
