The crowds flowed past as Xia Youjie crossed the street against the tide, never looking back.
Even as the arm of Gojo Satoru behind him trembled, his fingers forming the hand sign for "Blue."
[Ding-dong. S-rank Host detected. System installation complete. Checking connection requirements...]
As Gojo Satoru was consumed by frustration and anger, a System appeared from the heavens, inviting him on a journey across time and space.
Gojo Satoru: "I feel like my youth is coming to an end..."
System: [No, no, your youth can't end! Please play an ordinary high school boy, a homeless violent gang member, or a child from a prestigious ninja clan. XOXO.]
Reversing cause and effect, turning around a miserable summer. Gojo Satoru has a chance to turn back the tide of time and return to the turning points that changed his life.
The System helpfully reminds him: "Once you've gathered enough energy, you can choose to merge worlds."
Just as Gojo Satoru was getting ready to make a big splash, the System issued a mission.
System: "The way to earn points is to become the story's best victim and background character. Please don't go OOC, Host. Love you."
Gojo Satoru: ...
Gojo Satoru: "What?"
[World One: Studying Deduction Can't Save Beika Town]
The serial killer "Collector" has infiltrated Beika Town, putting an entire neighborhood on edge. Just then, a new transfer student arrives at Teitan High School.
The transfer student has an exceptionally beautiful pair of eyes.
"He knew he wasn't dreaming. Though the purpose that had brought him here was despicable, it wasn't hard to accept. He wanted to meet someone: a person whose beauty was an invincible will, a beauty of sin and destruction, victory and tranquility.
He worshiped that beauty as one would worship Aphrodite veiled in white."
Aphrodite*Gojo Satoru is about to leap up and beat the pervert to a pulp. "I'm gonna throw up. I can't take this anymore!"
The System shrieks: Nooo! Young master, ancestor, please! I'll kowtow to you, okay? The detectives, police, and FBI will be here in five minutes! Once we finish this mission, we can draw a card!
Gojo Satoru clutches the white veil and lies back down. "OK."
Being a victim is a skill, too. Gojo Satoru applies himself diligently, maxing out the sympathy of the detectives, police, FBI, and everyone else. At last, he earns his first chance to draw a card.
With a crisp "ding-dong," the System announces loudly for all to hear:
Congratulations, Host! You've drawn the exclusive hidden identity [Heir to the Karasuma Conglomerate].
Now it's not just the criminals of Beika Town. The great detective, the Metropolitan Police Department, and the FBI are all watching him.
[World Two: You All Want to Become Oiran?]
Gojo Satoru: "I don't mind becoming the 'most beautiful oiran,' but are you sure the brothel's proprietress won't care that I'm a man?"
System: "Don't worry, Host. There are three other men like you here."
[The Precious Young Master Adopted by Oda Sakunosuke]
[The Genius Almost Thrown Out by the Uchiha Clan for Having White Hair and Blue Eyes]
[Sukuna's Cousin from the Same Clan]
"Choose the right anchor, merge worlds, and change reality. This is your life of infinite miracles."
"Enjoy the game. Goodbye."
Reader's guide:
This is a product of being traumatized by jjxx. I'll write Detective Conan and Demon Slayer first, and finish with the Heian-kyo era. The order in between is still undecided.
In short, 18-year-old high schooler Gojo is embarking on a quick transmigration journey, bringing a little power-scaling shock and Jerk Cat terror to every world he visits.
