[A story about an original character who accidentally gets bound to the world of Detective Conan to save it, then inexplicably starts pushing the main plot forward.]
[In this novel: original character = kid = OC; self-insert = a fictional character created by the author based on their own traits and the person they ideally wish to be.]
As a soon-to-be university student, the greatest passion Wu Jin had developed over his first eighteen years was creating original characters of his own.
To him, the most terrifying thing in the world would be waking up one day to discover that six years of painstaking work had gone up in smoke, every trace of its existence completely erased.
The only person in the world who still remembered them was their creator, Wu Jin.
Wu Jin: Where are my kids?
The good news was that after an intimate encounter with a truck, he and his kids had transmigrated to the same world.
The bad news was that this was the legendary Detective Conan world. And according to the theory that “one day in heaven equals one year on earth,” its timeline had already advanced by seven years. His mischievous sons had lived up to expectations and left their mark in a big way.
But no matter!
Wu Jin waved a hand and brought out his self-inserts. “I gave each kid a self-insert in their story. All I have to do is get them to connect the self-inserts to me!”
So, on the second day after transmigrating, Wu Jin successfully found himself working for Kid Number Two.
On the third day, he learned that Kid Number One, the only one who recognized him, was missing, and had even been confirmed dead not long ago.
On the fifth day, he witnessed firsthand how Kid Number Two, who had spent his adolescence in another world, had grown from a fake little boy into a troublesome teenager who talked utter nonsense.
On the sixth day, he discovered that his kids were already buddying up to the Black Organization. There was no way they could break away until the main plot was over, and one of the organization’s special advisers was none other than his beloved Kid Number Three.
Wu Jin: .
Much later, when the unmasking progress finally reached 100 percent, Wu Jin was so moved he nearly shed tears of joy.
But in corners he knew nothing about, his kids had already gone too far down paths he never could have imagined.
On unmasking day ?: Kid Number One gave Wu Jin a love letter.
A certain handsome, exhausted man in sunglasses stood nearby with his arms crossed. He was already too tired to keep meddling in the affairs of this pair of troublemakers he cared about.
On unmasking day ?: Kid Number Four read his courtship plan aloud to Wu Jin.
Zero: “Actually, this plan has been underway for six months... You didn’t know?”
On unmasking day ?: Kid Number Two climbed into Wu Jin’s bed.
A certain high school detective: “Nobody learns how to date from detective novels, but you know, he’s not human.”
On unmasking day ?: Kid Number Three said he would give Wu Jin the organization, which had been left in tatters after the crackdown.
Hiro: “...I tried to stop him, but unfortunately, I failed.”
After struggling in vain, Wu Jin took a deep breath and yelled at the System, “This is all your fault!”
The System coolly shifted the blame. “Then let me ask you something.”
“What were you thinking when you raised kids using your self-inserts?”
Content warnings before reading:
1. The protagonist is a magnet for admirers. Between his original self and secret identities, there are plenty of one-sided crushes of various kinds. The protagonist notices them and does occasionally give them serious thought, but he has bigger things to deal with. Since he’s loosened up a little, the endings should be separate routes with the kids.
2. The original characters consist of the protagonist himself, his three secret identities, and the four original characters corresponding to them, one each (the kids).
3. This is a fix-it fic, and the timeline changes considerably because of the original characters’ involvement.
4. The logic is hanging by a thread. I’ll do my best to make it airtight, but I don’t know if I’m up to the task (bows deeply).
5. Hope you enjoy reading!
6. The central idea is adapted from Alain Badiou’s In Praise of Love.
Theme: Love means using everything the world already has to break through and overcome loneliness, and reach a better tomorrow.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! We are saved!!
I felt relieved when I saw the leave request 😭 Take good care of yourself 🤗
I promised to update V later. I have something to ask for leave. Where is your leave note? Don't you disappear suddenly? I don't have time to update, so I'll let you know. It's not like I haven't kept up with the updates every week, but don't disappear suddenly. I'm even afraid that you've tricked me 😭
Where are the people, Dad, where is my food?! 😭
Why did he go directly to it later? Because he fought and fought for Xuecun 🐶
It's too much.
I actually tied it, what a big trap
Welcome back - I will continue to taste [sunglasses]
Now that the author is back, can you tell me whether the setting has been changed or not, or you just forgot about it after writing it down. Akai Shuichi suddenly changed from the class teacher to a classmate [question mark]
Teacher, I will always wait for you to come back and update - I really like the subject matter of this article. It doesn't matter if I have enough rest and come back to write again.
