Rise Again, 2.5 Satoru Gojo!

This novel is expected to be completed and go on sale on February 6. Thank you all for your support!

The full title is too long to fit: On February 5, Did Gojo Satoru Make a Mistake Trying to Revive Himself Amid Gintama's Attacks?

Also known as: A Grand Gathering for an Anime-Character Tabletop Game

On his way to heaven after getting killed off, Gojo receives a strange text link.

After clicking it, he loses his memories. When he wakes up, he's already in a special game space.

"Mr. Gojo, welcome to the game market."

"Here, you can play games alongside players from various parallel worlds, eras, and backgrounds."

"Your win or loss determines how many points you earn in this game. Once you have enough points, you can exchange them with the System for any wish you want."

"Mr. Gojo, or rather, Mr. 2.5 Gojo Satoru, you can even wish to be resurrected."

Gojo: "..."

Gojo: I get it, but could somebody please get this silver-haired natural-perm guy, who's flicking a booger at me, to die already?

A certain silver-haired natural-perm protagonist is trying to wipe the tiny finger he used to pick his nose on the other man's clothes.

A certain silver-haired natural-perm protagonist realizes he can't touch the other man at all.

A certain silver-haired natural-perm protagonist: "..."

Gojo: ^-^

Gintoki: Actually, I'm your teammate.

So Gintoki grabs his Toyako and runs for his life. He can feel murderous intent drilling straight into his skull.

Gintoki: You have to believe me-

Gintoki: Ah!

Gintoki falls over, a javelin Gojo found lying around stuck in the back of his head.

But then Gojo is surprised to discover that this foul-mouthed, sticky-fingered, dead-fish-eyed, silver-haired natural perm, who picks earwax and flicks it everywhere... really is his teammate?!

Gojo: I thought the original author losing their mind and cutting me off mid-story was the unluckiest thing that could happen to me, until I met a silver-haired natural perm.

Reader's Guide:

1. No pairings for any characters.

2. The timeline follows the anime. No events that haven't been animated are included (except Gojo Satoru getting killed off, which was trending everywhere, so surely nobody doesn't know about it).

4. I'm writing this purely for love of the series, so please add it to your collection and leave comments. I bow in thanks, qaqqqqq. Since the author wants to smash through the third wall, your excellent mental states and comments may appear in the story.

5. Apologies to all the fans if anyone is out of character. (bows)

6. For now, updates every other day before the rankings list, and daily when the novel is on the list.

Theme: Compete earnestly, make lots of friends, and strive to improve.
