[Detective Conan] I Became a Disaster After Completing the Rescue?

When Cao Xiangwei opens his eyes, he discovers he’s in a different world.

A System named “Xiaobai” living in his mind tells him that he can only go home after following the prescribed plot and completing the rescue missions.

“Let’s set aside the fact that ‘Xiaobai’ is a name with flaws written all over it.” Cao Xiangwei looks up. Strange beings, each drawn in a different style, crowd around the boy, surrounding the lone “player” like the Hundred Ghosts’ Night Parade.

“Are these native creatures, too?”

“…”

“C-congratulations! You’ve received the side quest ‘Sisyphus, Not to Be Imitated.’ This quest is optional, dear~~”

With no other choice, Cao Xiangwei dutifully starts doing the quests. One day, he suddenly asks,

“You said I have to complete the rescue missions, but who am I supposed to rescue?”

“The System is searching… Beep. We regret to inform you that some System data has been lost due to an attack of unknown origin. Please try again later.”

“…What good are you, then?”

Cao Xiangwei doesn’t know

that the so-called System and the missions are all lies,

and that, having trapped himself in his own web, he lost all hope of going home long ago, at a time no one can trace.

[The Kitten’s Claws Are Stained with Blood]

“I’m going to make him accept his fate.”

The fingertip resting on the curly-haired man’s chest is gentle, but the voice is so cold.

The boy shatters the man’s image of him as sweet and adorable, yet his eyes, fixed only on the man, are so captivating,

as if ordained by fate.

For reasons he can’t explain, the man’s heart begins to race, and his ears flush red once more.

[An Unknown Feeling Passes Judgment]

“Friendship? Family? Or love? It doesn’t matter.”

Inside the witch’s barrier, on the verge of collapse, the man who has just escaped death clutches the back of the person in his arms.

“Xiao Wei, you can choose any of them.”

The tall figure cages the motionless body. Beneath his black hair, his violet eyes are full of obsession.

“But I will never accept a future without you.”

No one knows that each word of that vow tastes of the bloody sweetness of a self-imposed curse.

[The Right Way to Raise a Cat]

His dark fingers forcibly interlace with the other person’s, pushing between slender fingers as he pins down their wrist.

“I told you before, didn’t I?”

Looking at the violently trembling green eyes beneath him, the blond man crushes all resistance without the slightest tenderness.

“They’ve all spoiled you far too much.”

In the silent night, the mark he forces upon them is cruel and urgent.

The scarlet collar fastens around their neck, both a mark and a punishment.

[Have You Heard of Equivalent Exchange?]

[Whenever a miracle of great magnitude occurs, a tragedy of equal magnitude is born. That is the truth of the universe.]

[But it’s all right, ]

[You are different.]

[The player is a calamity.]

Reader’s Guide:

1. A nontraditional System story, and a nontraditional everyone-loves-the-protagonist story.

2. The author is letting loose, and there’s plenty of melodrama. Expect lots of out-of-character moments and unclear worldbuilding! Enter at your own risk! Seriously, enter at your own risk!

3. Mutual rescue! New Game Plus from the start. (Though I’m not sure I can pull off the right vibe. I’m stressing over it.)

4. The first and second playthroughs are told in alternating chapters, but chapters involving the first playthrough will be marked~~ (I recommend reading the first playthrough first.)

5. Please bookmark~~

6. Don’t worry, it’s a happy ending!
