Playing the Protagonist in the World of Bungo Stray Dogs

Perhaps the transmigration craze had gotten out of hand, because Takei Shikawa got swept up in a wave of transmigration, too. If he were an orphan like those protagonists whose parents had to die for them to become all-powerful, he would probably be quite happy to be sent away.

But his parents were alive and well, and his life was happy.

There was no choice. He could only rely on the strange powers he gained after transmigrating and try to return to his hometown...

(If I have to transmigrate, fine, but couldn't you at least leave me some memories!)

However, there seemed to be something off about his ability.

Role-playing?

Help! I'm a socially anxious shut-in, and you want me to pretend to be awesome? That's just asking me to make a fool of myself! You might as well just kill me outright. At least that would be simple and direct!

PS: The protagonist has never read Bungo Stray Dogs. Everything he knows is hearsay.

PS: There is an amnesia plot!

PS: The protagonist's social anxiety manifests as cold indifference.

First world (unofficial): Role-playing as Dazai Osamu as a child (a transitional arc to give the protagonist time to adjust)

First world (official): Something's Wrong with This School (Dazai)

Second world: Salvation and Destruction in the Apocalypse (Chuya)

Third world: The Mysterious Magician Is a Phantom Thief (Ranpo)

Note: Ship whoever you like. Ranpo is happily single, and Akutagawa is rational... (This story may be quite long.)

[Bonus/Extra World] World Three and a Half: Fun and Games at Kindergarten (Mori Ogai)

Fourth world: To be decided

Fifth world: To be decided

[Note: I've decided to write only these five worlds. Once they're done, the story will end!]

Any chapters posted after midnight are bonus updates.]

● I'll do my best to update daily. If I don't manage it, it means I'm busy with schoolwork~

● All the worlds in this story are parallel worlds where people from Bungo Stray Dogs exist.

● I originally wanted to write a watch-along story, but I couldn't come up with a plot, so I'm writing a story first, followed by bonus chapters about watching it or transmigrating.

● My writing is terrible (and bland), so please don't flame me if it's not your thing. (You may see me trying to be funny in this story, failing, and getting helplessly angry about it.)

● If you have any good ideas, leave me a comment. I'll definitely take your advice!
