In the Ordinary Streets of Tokyo, I Awakened as a Player

Utsunomiya Asagiri has already lived through the kind of backstory that screams “main character.”

After being swept through countless anime and manga worlds, he grows up in Tokyo into a handsome, perfectly average protagonist template: dead parents, no relatives, and a household registry with only one name on it. His own.

Just when he’s ready to finally enjoy a quiet, normal life, reality pulls the rug out from under him.

He’s dragged into a reincarnation game similar to the so called Main God Space where every mistake can cost you your life.

And in the same hospital ward where players first awaken, he meets another new recruit: Yuuki Asuna, a freshman who entered Shuchiin in the same year as him.

Bad news: this game is brutal, and death is permanent.

Good news: the rewards are insane and Asagiri genuinely enjoys the challenge.

A born reincarnation gamer and Shuchiin’s rumored “Demon King,” Asagiri forms the strongest strategy squad and makes his entrance under his infamous mask and codename: Leader. Unruly, sharp tongued, and absurdly competent, he treats lethal dungeons like a playground and everyone else like supporting characters who need better teamwork.

Initial teammates:

Yuuki Asuna (Sword Art Online)

Iwanaga Kotoko (In Spectre)

Kato Megumi (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend)
