The Infinite-Flow Player Enters the Mystery-Solving Arena

My name is Shengu Lu. I was originally an amnesiac, not-quite-ordinary ordinary student, and I currently attend Teitan Elementary School. There’s a mysterious app on my phone that lets me read manga. By the way, no one but me can see it, so I often imagined I was the protagonist of some manga. After all, I’d already collected all the usual buffs, like parents whose whereabouts were unknown and a mysterious background. I was just one short of gathering seven and summoning a miracle.

Then one day, while walking home with Kudo-kun, I was hit by some unknown object falling from the sky and sent to the hospital. Along with finally getting my golden finger, I unlocked a new feature on the app: bullet comments.

I have one piece of good news and two or three pieces of bad news.

Bad news number one: In the future, I’ll become a member of some unknown organization with a chaotic evil alignment.

Bad news number two: I’ve been dragged into a game I can’t log out of.

I’ll leave the other piece of bad news for now. The good news is that I can see people’s profiles and favorability ratings, including those of nonhuman beings.

But that’s not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that my dear classmate, aka Detective-kun, is the protagonist of the manga, while I seem to be one of its future villains!

Help! I don’t want Detective-kun to catch me and throw me in prison.

After being made to stand as punishment for zoning out for the nth time, I was deeply influenced by Detective-kun. I was always saying, “That’s just fate,” but now I decided to make some changes, save some people or trip some people up, all so I could escape the “future” that it spoke of.

Years later, the main story officially began.

That mysterious app also released a manga called Detective Conan.

Applause, please. I, Shengu Lu, a not-quite-ordinary ordinary high school student, successfully changed the so-called “future.” Among other things, I rescued the police academy crew, as the readers called them, three times, as well as Akemi and other characters whose fates had left readers heartbroken, and I also tripped up villains like Rum.

I was happy enough that things weren’t following the script, but as the manga continued to update, I discovered that the “future” hadn’t actually changed. The “me” in the manga was probably me from a parallel world, so the “future” described in the bullet comments didn’t belong to me.

Shengu Lu: So what was the point of making myself so nervous I nearly jumped off a cliff at the boundary between black and white?

Shengu Lu, who had nearly driven himself crazy, mourned himself for a second.

***Reader’s Guide***

1) Updates irregularly, no romance, third-person narration

2) Reality and instances intertwine. Protagonist with a split personality, be warned

3) Don’t insult any characters, and don’t take the bullying too far

4) Infinite-loop game + bullet comments/manga. There are quite a few elements, so things might get messy. I’ll do my best to write it well.

Theme: As long as you’re alive, that’s enough.
