Asagao Usuba, a famous Japanese novelist, has a secret: once a month, he transmigrates to another world in his dreams.
Thanks to these dreams, Asagao Usuba enjoys a happy life of gathering material without ever leaving home, and writes one novel after another
1. "Calvary"
When he was young, Chuuya Nakahara once met a strange man.
A young man who claimed to be a nameless novelist spoke in a pitiful voice, shamelessly moved into his room, and then unleashed a storm in Yokohama.
"Numbness is no cure for suffering, and weakness is no reason to surrender."
"The lambs will not remain silent forever. Everyone will hear the voice of freedom rising from this bloodstained holy ground."
2. "The In-Between"
According to country folklore, evil spirits roam when night falls.
What no one knows is that the legends are more than just stories, and evil spirits do not wander only in the countryside.
"The flower has yet to bloom, its beauty already faded. Beneath Rashomon Gate, the willow still stands."
"All living things suffer, with no freedom in sight. All we can do is sigh in vain; salvation is out of reach."
", I see the world of men as the Avici Hell. Where is there a paradise?"
3. "The Gray Ghost"
Rei Furuya has a senior who exists only in the stories told by the instructor who trained him for undercover work.
According to the instructor, that senior was upright, noble, and exceptionally capable. Had he not joined the world of undercover operations, he would have been a rising star in the police force, a brilliant beacon of hope.
Rei Furuya can't help but grow curious about this senior, but when he asks, he is told that the man died long ago. Deeply disappointed, he can only mourn him.
He never imagined that a year later, he would see the man in the very organization he had infiltrated.
"Don't trust me with your back, because I'm not your ally."
"Don't point your gun at me, because I'm not your enemy."
"I'm just a ghost, a ghost who died and returned from six feet under."
"Calvary," "The In-Between," "The Gray Ghost," "The Sibyl Gospel"...
Asagao Usuba happily turns in his manuscripts, then suddenly realizes something is wrong.
Why are all my friends villains?!
Please note:
1. The order of the arcs in the main story may differ from the order in the blurb.
2. Although it says all his friends are villains, there are exceptions.
3. You could call it quick transmigration, though it doesn't quite fit. The protagonist has a new identity in every world, and some worlds get a second run.
4. The worlds will not merge.
Theme: Life is full of variety
