TheTiredDetective

Ryo Kuroda, a 25-year-old former police officer dismissed for his lack of physical strength, hoped to start fresh as a private detective. One night, he saved a very unnatural-looking cat from a pack of shadowy creatures. In return, the cat "blessed" him with a wish — for more clients. It worked. A little too well. What sounded like a stroke of luck quickly became a never-ending nightmare, as his office was soon flooded with the strangest and most unbelievable cases imaginable. But with each strange case comes a lingering unease. Patterns that shouldn’t exist. Clues that feel too intentional. Ryo begins to suspect an unseen hand is pulling the strings behind the scenes. With nothing but his sharp mind, stubbornness, and an ever-growing headache, Ryo is forced to navigate a world where the supernatural is very real and very troublesome. Ever since that cat granted his wish, a normal client might as well be a fantasy. Now, he finds himself dragged into Hidden Lands on Earth and Strange Realms beyond… where every case involves ancient legends, twisted fairytales, and forgotten folklore.
