Question: What can an ordinary person do in a grimdark fantasy world?
Answer: Work hard, retire, and enjoy a peaceful old age, of course!
That's what I thought, too, until I got shot in the knee (not really).
This was supposed to be the everyday life of a worker in another world. No scheming, just gossip and snark.
But will someone tell me who all these weirdos appearing one after another are?!

Handsome guy: I am the Demon Lord's foremost general. The Demon Realm is in chaos. Would you help me...
Me: No.
Handsome guy: ???
Me: This is obviously a new kind of scam. I have the anti-fraud app, so I'm not falling for it.
Later, a black cat knocked on my door.
Black cat: I am the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm. The realm is in turmoil. Would you become a magical girl and save the world...
Me: Hello, police? There's a scam ring here.
Black cat: ???
