Ivan's life had two major turning points.
The first came when he was six.
That year, Ivan's parents died. At the funeral, a black-clad middle-aged man who called himself Rum found Ivan and took him to a training facility.
Ivan finally learned that he had transmigrated into a famous manga about a grade-school detective, and that his parents, who had often been away from home, were members of the villainous organization known as the Black Organization.
The second turning point came when he was eighteen.
Ivan had been recalled from Russia to Japan. On the way, someone stole his wallet, but a kind police officer named Hagiwara Kenji helped him get it back.
The next day, an explosion occurred in the Asai villa district. As it happened, the scene before Ivan's eyes warped and shifted, finally stopping at the moment Hagiwara handed his wallet back to him.
"Are you all right?" Officer Hagiwara asked with concern.
Holding his wallet, Ivan, who had traveled back in time, stared in confusion. "..."
Is this what they call Conan-style science, too???
After realizing that time could not move forward as long as Hagiwara Kenji was dead, Ivan had to rack his brains to save his life and break the loop. After more than a dozen attempts, when Ivan finally saw the sun rise on the next day, he nearly wept with relief.
However, four years later, he discovered he had celebrated too soon...
He wasn't the only one whose death caused time to turn back.

Black Russia was a notorious code-named member of the organization, known as the Mad Dog.
When Hiromitsu Morofushi, using the alias Hikaru Midorikawa, first met Black Russia, the dark-haired foreign young man wore a sweet smile. He looked like an innocent rich kid, not a trace of gloom in his jade-green eyes.
Yet Hiromitsu sensed a hidden malice coming from him.
Black Russia held out his hand, his voice intimate and cloying. "I'm Ivan, codename Black Russia. It's nice to meet you, Hikaru Midorikawa."
It's nice to meet you... Hiromitsu Morofushi.

No one knew that Black Russia, after going through more than a hundred time loops, was on the verge of losing his mind.
tips:
1. Hagiwara Kenji is successfully saved from the start. The story begins not long after Hiromitsu and the other character joined the Black Organization.
2. The protagonist knows about the manga but has never read it, so he doesn't know the details of the story.
3. Happy ending, pairing with Hiromitsu Morofushi.
4. More will be added if I think of anything.
