Every Day, I Find New Ways to Die

Amano Koki was a walking disaster.

While studying in the library, his soul was mistakenly taken by the Grim Reaper. As compensation, he was offered the chance to be reborn in another world.

"According to the Book of Life and Death, you were originally supposed to die at twenty-six. You can live to the corresponding age in any world."

"We'll take full responsibility for any accidents before you turn twenty-six and give you a new identity so you can start over."

So said a little System orb, hard at work.

It didn't notice the thoughtful look in the young man's eyes behind his plain glasses.

So if I die before I'm twenty-six, I can keep transmigrating forever...?

After guiding one last wandering soul, the Grim Reaper sat down on his throne. On a whim, he decided to see how that unlucky human was doing.

But as soon as he opened the passage, he was buried in a storm of complaints from the System.

"You're here! You're here! You're finally here!!"

"Please take me back and wipe my memory! Don't leave me here to be tormented by someone named Amano Koki!"

"Do you have any idea what I've been through lately?"

"That guy found a loophole in the contract and restarted more than two hundred times!!!"

Why put yourself through all this after transmigrating? Wouldn't it be better to lie flat and live like a happy little fish?

With that in mind, Amano Koki spent every day looking for increasingly creative ways to die whenever something didn't go his way.

First, he drew a series of identities that sounded like nothing but trouble: a lab experiment, the sixth member of a police academy class, a murderer known as Blackie, a company president, an overworked corporate drone, a broke college student, a famous detective being targeted, and so on. He promptly died and started over each time.

After more than two hundred attempts, he finally drew the identity of a top-tier tycoon.

Though plenty of people around him wanted to kill him, it didn't matter... He was rich!

With the intel he'd gathered through his previous identities, even the Organization had to submit to his "power" and dutifully serve as his bodyguards.

And since time stands still in the Detective Conan world, Amano Koki could stay young and rich forever.

...The only slight problem was that

The System had banned him from killing himself to be reborn.

And because he'd done so much to stay alive earlier on, no faction would now allow him to be put in danger.

As his twenty-sixth birthday drew nearer, Amano Koki began to worry.

Which unlucky person should I get to stab me to death...?

1. A reverse courtship story, meaning that for various reasons, other people pursue the male lead. The reason is revealed in Chapter 1.

2. The main story begins when the male lead starts over and draws the tycoon identity.

3. For now, the story will take place in the Detective Conan world. Whether to add Bungo Stray Dogs, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and others later will depend on how things go.
