My name is Aiko Yamato, a 16-year-old studying a Shuchi'in Academy. I was formerly a NEET in her 20s before dying from sleep deprivation due to pulling all-nighters to grind a game.
After my death, I found myself as a baby. It took quite a while for me to adapt to everything, but I was a lot happier in this life since my parents were alive. My mom worked as a Director for the Shinomiya Investment Bank, whilst my dad was the head of a large Yakuza group with a few large companies under its wing.
All of this money meant that I could buy as many mangas and light novels as I wanted!
Anyways, being a NEET, I was terrible at communicating with people. Social interaction was a very tiring thing. I was horrible at talking with strangers. I just stared blankly at whoever came up to me, eventually scaring them off. My social awkwardness was misunderstood and earned me the title of 'ice-cold princess' similar to Shinomiya. At that point, I just gave up socialising and just read light novels during breaks.
Unfortunately, being the daughter of a massive Yakuza clan head and Director of a major global conglomerate, I was targeted quite a lot. After deciding that it was too troublesome to deal with high society, I opened a small peaceful manga cafe to relieve stress.
I opened the cafe at 4 pm and closed it at 8 pm on weekdays, which meant there were barely any customers. Most customers came in during the weekends or holidays, where I opened the cafe at 9 am and close at 7 pm.
Anyways, it was just an average Saturday for the cafe. When the last customer left the shop, I locked the door to the cafe and flipped the sign from open to close. When I turned around, a notification popped up on my phone.
[You have been invited as the Administrator for the Dimensional Group Chat!]
The notification was from an unknown app, which I never installed at all. Considering my reincarnation, I shrugged it off as something normal and clicked on the app.

{Blank Sister-Brother: I agree, my dear sister.}
{Dragon Magnet: What is going on? I just got a dragon maid, and this phone just appeared in front of me.}
Looking at the group chat, I was surprised at the members' nicknames.
This group chat might be real since reincarnation was real. I clicked on the top right-hand corner of the screen. There was an icon with the top half of a person, which led me to my profile.
I changed my name and profile picture before returning to the group chat.
{[Admin] Socially Awkward Ice Queen has changed their name to [Admin] Aiko Yamato]
{[Admin] Aiko Yamato: Hello?}
{Bastard Teacher has changed their name to Glenn Radars}

{White Fang With A Sharingan: Tell me what this is first. Also, tell me how did you find where I was?}
{Blank Sister-Brother has changed their name to Blank}
{Blank: We prefer this name; we are one after all.}
{[Admin] Aiko Yamato: I have no idea what this is nor how it found you. All I know is that there is probably a guide in the left-hand corner.}
I clicked on the top-left corner of the screen, which had a book icon.
[Welcome To The Dimensional Group Chat!
Here Is Your Introduction:
This is a group chat for people from different universes. You need to complete some missions to gain something called CP(Chat Points). There is a Chat Shop where you can buy things using CP. You can also travel between worlds, but a one-way trip will cost you 50 CP unless you have a dimensional travel ticket.
Rules Of The Group Chat:
1. Users of the group chat cannot disclose information about the existence of the group chat itself.
2. Users cannot harm other users with the intent of seriously injuring or killing.
3. The group chat can only invite five people per month.
4. Users can only travel to worlds they've been to before or the worlds that other Users live in.
5. You cannot travel to other worlds when you're on a quest.
6. Only the Admin can kick and invite users.
Note:
When a User dies during a quest, they will return to their original world. The quest will automatically fail once the Users in the quests die; Users will incur a penalty when they fail a quest.
If there are multiple Users on a quest, the mission will only fail those who have died.
All new Users will have 200 CP. As the group chat expands, there will be more uses for CP. Any questions will likely not be answered by the group chat.]
As I finished reading the guide, a knock sounded from the back door. I walked towards the back door to welcome my Butler, Sebas.
"Ojou-sama, it's 8:00 pm, you need to return to the manor."
Sebas said in a stern voice. I looked at my phone to see that it was already 8:03 pm! An hour passed without me even knowing it.
I turned off my phone and followed Sebas to a car after locking the back door to my cafe. Tomorrow will be a long day…
