What's it like to have your account stolen?
Tsuna opened his eyes, and the whole world had changed. He had lost his name, his ties to his family and friends, and even his status as the Tenth's successor candidate. He looked around, then at himself. Everything was blank, as though the world had abandoned him.
Just then, a great door opened before him. It bore the words: Welcome to the Protagonist Training Academy.
The gatekeeper held a form, ready to register him.
"But I want to go home," Tsuna said.
The gatekeeper coldly announced, "Someone else has stolen your identity. Your physical condition can't be confirmed, so of course you can't go back."
He froze.
He couldn't go back? Then what kind of existence was he now...? Just who was he?
A voice answered:
You are... the "protagonist."
"Want to go home? Want to reclaim the glory that belongs to you? Then join us and form the Reclaimers Alliance!"
Hey, did you switch channels or what?!
※ Seriously, it's 2022. Are people still into account theft? Is it really so hard to make a new account?
※ There are so many stories about the Protagonist Victims Alliance. I'm going to get the protagonists some better treatment and write something satisfying.
※ Protagonist-centered, possibly with lots of pairings.
As usual, this is about old favorites, including Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, The Prince of Tennis, Detective Conan, and more.
Inspired by a few grievances I just have to get off my chest:
One: Can we stop obsessing over Vongola bloodlines? (Does the impostor really think he's some kind of heartthrob?)
Two: Stop stealing Seigaku's championships. (If Rikkai wants a third consecutive title, then work for it in high school.)
Three: Is it fun to use dimensional superiority to crush people in the Conan universe? (Elementary schooler: We've all turned into elementary schoolers. Do you really think anything can still shock me?)
...More to come.

A little skit:
Entrance exam: Prove you're a protagonist.
The first candidate went up carrying a tennis racket. "I came back from America."
Passed.
Then an elementary schooler with a skateboard: "Someone poisoned me."
Passed.
An unremarkable boy: "This is embarrassing, but I only win thanks to the powerful male friends around me."
He added, "I have a lot of these 'friends.'"
Passed.
Tsuna's pupils shook: "Are you all Disney princesses who escaped the screen?!"
Gatekeeper: "Don't make such a fuss. Next."
A blond boy with the standard protagonist look scratched his head. "I married the second male lead."
Gatekeeper: "Incredible! Pass."
Tsuna: "Uh... huh?! That counts?!"
At last, it was his turn.
Tsuna thought for a long while before squeezing out, "I saved the world."
The gatekeeper exclaimed, "A classic protagonist! Pass!"
