Mikhail, original name unknown.
Career Synopsis
After being reborn into a two-dimensional world and given a second life, Mikhail finally managed to steer his childhood friend away from the wrong path. Thinking he had escaped the original plot, he planned to spend the rest of his life as a shut-in, doing nothing. Then he heard that his childhood friend was forming an organization of talented people and had invited him to join.
The organization was called the Rats in the House of the Dead.
Mikhail: I was at death's door, then sat bolt upright. The villain is me?!
Fedya, what are you doing, Fedya?! (crawling ominously) (screaming manically) (scratching wildly)
In the end, to his great honor, he was appointed leader of the Rats in the House of the Dead. Heh :)

If you want me dead, just say so. There's no need to be so tactful.
Mikhail looked at the organization's impressively diverse members, and an audacious, half-baked idea began to take shape in his mind.
He, Mikhail, now had a brilliant plan.
Why not get all these bored friends to write books and become literary authors in the world of anime and manga?
And so the world gained a publishing house called the Rats in the House of the Dead, an organization that terrified and drove into hiding ability users in every country who had any interest in writing.
Every editor there was a smooth talker, skilled at chasing deadlines by any means necessary, and a renowned author in their own right.

The publishing house's president, Mikhail, leader of the Rats in the House of the Dead, was especially "dangerous." Give him even one precise, truthful clue, and he could find out where you were. There was no getting lucky.

Mikhail's ability, [Search], let him recite all the major and minor events of your life, like an ascendant who surveyed the mortal world.
Romance Synopsis
The young detective, alias Edogawa Conan, had never seen two people like them. Between them, they listed everything the suspect had done in the past.
One was like a bug, glancing once at the scene and immediately explaining how the crime had been committed, laying the culprit's malice bare in the sunlight.
The other was like a god looking down upon the mortal world, recounting the remorseful, tearful culprit's every misdeed from the present backward, then leaving a review as if he were critiquing a book.
Mikhail, reading it out word for word: :-D
Later, he found out.
The first was the Armed Detective Agency's detective with Super Deduction, and the second was the Rats in the House of the Dead publishing house's all-knowing god.
And they were lovers.
Bonus Scene
Mikhail and Edogawa Ranpo's first meeting was amusing. One thought the other was the only person in the world like himself; the other was intent on recruiting people to write. They talked at cross-purposes, then ended up becoming friends.
Later, Mikhail realized he had become the lover of the world's greatest detective, and half of what their friends called the perfect couple.
Mikhail, whose reaction finally caught up with him after an eternity: Huh?
If this were a battle to win someone's heart, then the tower representing his spirit had already been captured. His love had long since begun to show.
Surrender was only a matter of time.
