Unknown female protagonist:
++++++++Thanks for the invite.
++++++++Here's what happened: One day, a truck from another world hit me and sent me flying. When I opened my eyes again, I was standing on a street in another Neon that was at least ten years behind in its history.
++++++++I was more or less still myself.
++++++++Because apart from somehow having moved back to my home country after graduation instead of trying to stay in the neighboring country, settling in Yokohama, and changing jobs, my property, car, diplomas, ID, and even the last few decimal places of my bank balance were all unchanged.
++++++++Where did I come from? Where am I going? And why did I end up in this world?
++++++++Just as I tilted my head up at a 45-degree angle and pondered the meaning of life, I got a call from my new boss in this new world, reminding me to show up at the office on time tomorrow.
++++++++Who knew that even in another world, I still couldn't escape the fate of being an office drone :)
++++++++I thought my life from then on would go something like this: keep working 996 and then get promoted and a raise.
++++++++Instead, it went like this: working 007 with no weekends, trapped in an overtime hell.
++++++++This shitty job and shitty boss wouldn't even give us a single public holiday!!!
++++++++But what could I do? People have to eat. I'd been thinking of quitting and running away, but when I heard the salary and overtime pay my new boss offered, tears of joy instantly ran from the corners of my mouth.
++++++++Thank you. As a young person brimming with enthusiasm and a spirit of self-sacrifice, from now on I'll live at the office. The company is my home. If I never clock out, I never have to clock back in. I'd be perfectly fine living and dying with the company.
++++++++With the skills I'd honed through the cutthroat world of exam-oriented education, I managed to outcompete every one of my coworkers.
++++++++My boss was moved by my outstanding work ethic. He told me that his boss's boss thought it was rare to find such a hardworking, selfless talent, and wanted me to use my abilities to their full potential in a suitable position. So they transferred me to the newly rebuilt head office.
++++++++Of course, that came with a better salary.
++++++++
++++++++Then I absolutely had to go.
++++++++Honestly, I felt a little bad for constantly bullying coworkers who barely even had a junior high education. And for a supposedly major international logistics company, wasn't it strange that there were so few highly educated people around me?
++++++++Even though this ridiculously well-paid job made me feel like I'd stumbled into some kind of pyramid scheme, I decided to accept the explanation that, since this was Neon more than ten years ago and everyone was practically illiterate, they had no choice but to entrust me with important work, and more work meant more pay.
++++++++As I said: I couldn't help it. The boss was paying too much.
++++++++But on my first day reporting to the head office, as I looked at my brand-new workplace, I finally understood why our company had so much money and was so generous.
++++++++Oh-ho-ho. These five newly built black towers at headquarters sure look familiar. Is it too late to decide I don't want to go in?
++++++++...
++++++++…
++++++++Well, goodbye to you!
++++++++So that's what it means to be paid well but not live long enough to enjoy it. I'm just an ordinary person, and I want to live a few more years! Those evil, greedy capitalists deserve to be strung up from lampposts. Don't even think about making your worker grandpa keep working for you!
Afterword:
++++++++Thanks for the invite. It's me again.
++++++++I thought it was bad enough that the streets were full of gangsters and terrorists. My legs work, don't they? Can't I just leave? Surely I could at least move farther away from Yokohama?
+++++++++
++++++++After going through hell to finally get out of the Mafia's mud pit, I found out that this is freaking a crossover world :)
++++++++Where the hell are you digging potatoes in Siberia, Decay of the Angels? Why haven't you shown up yet? When will this trash country and this dumbass world finally be destroyed?!
Read this part carefully:
#This is a crossover world. You never know who's going to go out of character next, and everyone will be put through the wringer, including the heroine
#First-person perspective. The heroine excels at the French military salute and showering people with praise. She smiles on the outside and curses them in her head
#No real romance. The whole story is about staying alive
#She isn't a player and has no special abilities. She's just an ordinary person who's relatively good at studying and working. She can't do anything else. This really is the world seen from an extra's perspective
#Jujutsu Kaisen doesn't feature much. The main series are Bungo Stray Dogs and Detective Conan
Theme: Staying alive
