What Kind of Living Hell Is It to Outwit Your Own Side?

Synopsis:

People should know that novels are all lies, thought [Edgar Allan Poe (Female)] solemnly, one of the people who had transmigrated after their whole group cosplayed characters with their genders swapped.

Other people's transmigrations come out of nowhere. Other people get to have fun and act silly while messing with the original story. Other people all reunite and face the world together. But what about them?

Transmigrate: First, die once.

Silliness: They can't manage to be silly. Life just feels exhausting.

Reunion: ...That's the biggest problem, okay!

Except for two people, everyone who transmigrated as a group had lost their memories from before transmigrating. They only knew who they were in this world. Forget reuniting, they might even go straight for the kill... Yes, I'm talking about you, that kind-hearted Russian woman.

[Edgar Allan Poe (Female)] and [Ayatsuji Yukito (Female)], the only ones with their memories: ...

They have to keep the original characters from noticing anything is wrong while finding their scattered teammates and figuring out how to restore their memories. What kind of miserable life is this!

Author's Note:

This is a product of letting my imagination run wild. It probably contains all sorts of strange elements, including some references and settings from Lord of the Mysteries, but everything will be explained. It won't touch on the original plot of Lord of the Mysteries or feature any of its characters, so you can read it even if you haven't read Lord of the Mysteries (√)

Updates when inspiration strikes, updates when inspiration strikes, updates when inspiration strikes. Important things must be said three times.

Updates should be regular on Saturdays, so if there's no update on Saturday, there's probably no update that week.

My name on Lao Fu Te is Qushui. I'll be publishing there and here at the same time, under the same title.

I'd love comments. It would be especially great if you could comment on the plot (starry-eyed . jpg)
