I Died On My Way to Work and am in a Crappy Isekai Anime

Loading…

You decide to take a shortcut by cutting through the woods. Everything seems normal and in fact everything goes smooth. You make it to work on time, punch in and head up the stairs to your publisher's office with 5 minutes to spare. As you walk up the stairs you notice your shoes are untied. As you go down to fix them you trip on the stairs falling down to the bottom level and snap your neck [[dying|Judgement]]. You were so close to success yet so far away.

You decide to take your normal route to work. You run through the busy streets of the city making sure to not bump into anyone and drop your manuscripts on the floor. This isn't a romance anime you don't got time for that! You notice the crosswalk is green and you speed forward only to realize it changed to red halfway through. You are in the middle of the street and cars are zoooming by. A drunk driver then hits you and BAM [[YOU DIED!|Judgement]]. Your body omically flies across the road and everyone looks in shock. Your manuscripts fly all over the place covered in blood.

You wake up in a void of emptiness. There is nothing except for you and a cloaked figure. This figure emmanates a familiar aura so you approach him. The figure say "Oh you're approaching me?!" And he meanacing walks towards you. You feel a chill as he speaks. "You have died far before your time. You were supposed to die due to overdose after losing your job and all your money as a drugged up hobo, but you went up and screwed up the timeline. Your novel was set to be a hit for the publisher, however you would lose your rights to everything and die miserably. As punishment for screwing up the timeline [[I shall force you to suffer inside the world of your own creation|Hello World]]!!" You look very confused as he says this but a vortex appears under your feet sending you to the world.

You land in a generic medieval fantasy setting where magic is common and is used for everything, even the most mundane of tasks. You are in the town square of the biggest city in the world, so you see all sorts of colorful figures doing all sorts of crazy things with magic. You push your way through the crowded streets to try to get a bit of a look at this new world. You end up seeing a group of adventurers coming out of a bar heavily intoxicated. There is a tall heavily armored scruffy haired human boy with a comically oversized sword, a young woman in oversized mage robes with a hat too small for her head, and a cleric with a staff so overdesigned,the little tassles on it would jingle every 5 seconds as she walked. You have a realization that these strange figures aren't just any joe schmoes but are the heroes of your crappy novel that you were writing. You relize that the cloaked figure sent you to the world of your light novel and its terrible inevitable anime adaptation where every 5 seconds there will be some fanservice shlock. What will you do? [[Follow the Heroes|Creepy stalker]] [[Go to the Bar they were at and ask some questions|Exposition Dump]]

You begin to follow the heroes from a distance hoping not to be seen. You decide to pull out a barely convincing cardboard cutout of a bush and sneak behind them following them. The cleric says to the sword weilding boy, "Hey don't you fell as if some creepo is following us." The sword weilding boy looks back and forth and says "Hahahahahhahaa no." "Oh, okay then," the Cleric says still feeling uncomfortable. You let out a sigh of releif as you [[havent been caught|Stalky2]]

You decide to enter the bar in where the heroes have just emerged from. All sorts of colorful and wacky figures are there getting wasted and harassing the employees of the establishment. You look very out of place in your work clothes as everybody looks like low detail background extras with interestingly designed clothing to add some depth to the world. You decide to ask around about the world, so you can get an insider perspective, and everybody looks at you like you have -420 IQ. You learn that you are in the land of Excaznia in the city of Shmaerdorf. This is where the first volume that you wrote just ended and the heroes are off to kill the demon lord and get into all sorts of crazy comedic situations that the average reader will forget about in the next chapter. You are in shock as you realize that anything can happen now that editorial is probably in charge of your story and can mess it up however they see fit! What can you do to help set your story right!? [[Try and set off on your own adventure]] [[Stalk the Heroes and try to help from the shadows|Creepy stalker]]

You begin to run out of the bar super fast towards the fields. You then encounter a vicious wolf monster what will you do? [[Attack]] [[Run and scream]]

You continue to follow behind the heroes and watch their every move to help from the shadows. This goes alright for a while until you her a sniffing behind you. It is a vicious wolf that begins to growl at you. You don't want to alarm the heroes so what will you do? [[Attack]] [[Run|Run and scream]]

You try to cast a spell on the wolf only to realize that you do not know any magic spells. "Uh-oh!" You say as you begin [[running for your life as it tries to maul you|Run and scream]]

<<set $Klaratrust to 0>> <<set $Elizatrust to 0>> <<set $Aarontrust to 0>> As you run for your life and the wolf chases you, the heroes come and begin to beat the ever loving snot out of it. This animal abuse has saved your life and they look at you very confused. The sword weilding boy says "What the hell were you doing!? You almost got yourself killed!?" <<if $male == true>> The mage looks back at him and says "The real question is why didn't he use magic to get himself out of it? Literally everyone can use magic so why can't he do it?" The cleric nods and says with her calm voice, "Most puzzling indeed, this guy is most unusual." You look very confused and shocked as you were just saved by your own creations and feel dumbfounded. "I umm can't use magic. I am not from this world, in fact I created you guys!" The heroes are in shock and the cleric bonks you on the head with her jingly staff. "Impossible! The Goddess of Light created us and nobody denies that! You cannot have created us you HEATHEN!!!!" The age holds back the cleric from contniually bonking you on the head. "Thats enough Klara! This guy is clearly unusual. I mean look at his clothes, they look so odd. And they clearly can't perfrom any sort of magic either so what they are saying must hold SOME slight truth, even if it is rather preposterous." The sword weilding boy looks at you. "Don't mind them, just what the hell were you doing here? We noticed you a while back and we were curious about you. Just who and what are you?" <<else>> The mage looks back at him and says "The real question is why didn't she use magic to get herself out of it? Literally everyone can use magic so why can't she do it?" The cleric nods and says with her calm voice, "Most puzzling indeed, this girl is most unusual." You look very confused and shocked as you were just saved by your own creations and feel dumbfounded. "I umm can't use magic. I am not from this world, in fact I created you guys!" The heroes are in shock and the cleric bonks you on the head with her jingly staff. "Impossible! The Goddess of Light created us and nobody denies that! You cannot have created us you HEATHEN!!!!" The mage holds back the cleric from contniually bonking you on the head. "Thats enough Klara! This girl is clearly unusual. I mean look at her clothes, they look so odd. And she clearly can't perfrom any sort of magic either so what she's saying must hold SOME slight truth, even if it is rather preposterous." The sword weilding boy looks at you. "Don't mind them, just what the hell were you doing here? We noticed you a while back and we were curious about you. Just who and what are you?" <</if>> END OF CHAPTER 1. Go to [[CHAPTER 2]]

<<set $male to true>> [[Thank you for your input, now we just need one more thing|NameEntry]]

<<set $female to true>> [[Thank you for your input, now we just need one more thing|NameEntry]]

HOLY CRAP... I GOTTA TURN IN MY MANUSCRIPTS!!! You say as you run out of your house at the speed of a bullet train. You are $playerName , an author who writes very bad light novels for a mega corporation being underpaid and barely being able to get by. Your spouse left you and took the kids as they couldn't deal with how you could barely afford rent. You will lose your job if you don't bring the manuscripts in on time and you will be homeless as you are 10 days overdue on your rent. YOU GOT TO MAKE IT ON TIME! You think taking a shortcut might be a good idea, but it is a bit risky. [[Take Shortcut]] [[Take Your normal Work Route]]

Can you tell me what name you want to go by? <<textbox "$playerName" "Enter your Name Here">> [[Then We Can Begin|Intro]]

You begin to explain to the party of adventurers that you are $playerName an author of crappy novels who died on your way to work and are stuck in your most recent novel after the final chapter meant to urge people to buy the next book to give your corporate overlords mroe money. Klara still looks pretty unconvinced as it just sounds preposterous to someone who has grown up very religious and follows the word of the Goddess of Light. The mage and the sword weilding boy however seem to be more understanding. The sword wielding boy puts a hand on your shoulder and says, <<if $female == true>> "You're a very pretty young lady and the way you are speaking gives me a hunch that you are telling the truth. You said you wrote our world for a novel? That sounds pretty ridiculous, but if you know a lot about our world then maybe you casn help us out! What do you say, wanna join the party?" Klara then bonks the sword wielding boy with her staff saying "Aaron you dumbass! This girl clearly is smoking something! Nothing she says makes any goddamn sense! Stop flirting with every girl you see and think logically for once you stupid playboy!!!" Aaron then playfully jokes to Klara, "Well maybe thats how Miss Writer made me! Ever think of that?" The mage then slaps both Aaron and Klara and screams, "BOTH OF YOU QUIT FOOLING AROUND!!We seriously need to consider how to proceed on our Quest!" "CAN IT ELIZA!!" Klara screams before bonking her mage friend on the head as well. <<set $Aarontrust to 2>> <</if>> <<if $male == true>> "Well I think you're story is pretty funny actually! Thats kinda ironic that you ended up in your own story! I like your funny words magic writer man!" The sword wielding boy doesn't seem to be taking you very seriously but he seems to at least think that you aren't insane unlike Klara. Klara then bonks the sword wielding boy with her staff saying "Aaron you dumbass! This guy clearly is smoking something! Nothing he says makes any goddamn sense! Also Magic Man!? Seriously!?! This bozo can't even use magic stop rubbing it in!" The mage then slaps Klara across the face and screams "Shut up Klara!! Just let Aaron finish what he was saying!!" "CAN IT ELIZA!!" Klara screams before bonking her mage friend on the head as well. <<set $Aarontrust to 1>> <</if>> Aaron then sighs and begins to explain "So right now we are on the next leg of our quest and are on our way to a camp of the demon lord's minions to take them out. Since you wrote our world maybe you can help us strategize when we get there! What do ya say?" [[Agree to Help|Head there with confidence]] [[Decline|Head there with reluctance]]

You accept Aaron's offer saying that you have played lots of stealth games and watched a crap ton of action anime so you know what you are doing. He looks perplexed not understanding such otherworldly concepts like anime and video games, but he can see your confidence irradiating from your soul. "If you are confident that's good enough for me!!" Aaron exclaims. <<if $male == true>> Klara disapprovingly screams at Aaron of them screeching that "This guy has 0 Magic power, 0 Combat experience, and almost got killed and YOU think he has a SLIVER of a chance!? He has 0 CHANCE of taking out any of the guards! His only experience seems to be some stinking game for crying out loud! He's gonna get killed! Eliza then interjects explaining that "It might work out if they aren't the most intelligent of demons, but if they are of the more intelligent variety, he could be in grave danger. One of us would have to buddy up with him and make sure he stays out of danger." <<set $Elizatrust to 1>> You then interject with a strategy talking about how a very famous soldier in your world was well known for hiding in boxes to trick enemies and say that it might just work if you replicate it. Klara doesn't seem to like this and bonks you on the head with her staff. "That has got to be the most scatterbrained thing I have ever heard! No idiot would ever fall for that!" She screams Eliza interjects with her thoughts stating that "Well it could work, but we could also knock out one of the guards and steal their clothes and dump the body." You look really puzzled, but play along with them and begin to laugh along with Eliza at the sheer absurdity of this situation. You then exclaim "Alright that may be a gutbuster but wait until you hear about the guy who turned himself into a pickle! NOW THAT'S THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN!!" Everyone in the party now begins to laugh as you tell them the story walking towards the enemy camp and everyone seems to be in a much better mood. <<set $Elizatrust to +=2>> <<set $Aarontrust to +=2>> <<set $Klaratrust to +=1>> <</if>> <<if $female == true>> Eliza then interjects explaining that "It might work out if they aren't the most intelligent of demons, but if they are of the more intelligent variety, she could be in grave danger. One of us would have to buddy up with her and be her knight in shining armour." <<set $Elizatrust to 1>> Klara disapprovingly screams at both of them screeching that "This girl has 0 Magic power, 0 Combat experience, and almost got killed and YOU TWO even think she has a SLIVER of a chance!? She has 0 CHANCE of taking out any of the guards! She'll probably end up sneezing and the guards will be like 'STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! NOBODY BREAKS THE LAW ON MY WATCH! I'M CONFISCATING YOUR STOLEN GOODS. NOW PAY THE FINE OR IT'S OFF TO JAIL.'!" "Oh yeah? Well even if this fine young lady gets her stolen goods confiscated I can rip and tear the demons with my big ass sword until it's done!!" Aaron boasts to Klara confidently. Eliza looks very confused at this whole conversation and asks Klara, "What would she even be stealing? We're destroying the base not looting it. I'm copletely thrown off." Klara screams again more agitated, "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN YOU DINGUS!!" You begin to laugh along at Klara and her pretty lame insult. "Dingus!? What kinda insult is that?! That isn't strong enough you gotta truly make them feel like shit and hit them where it hurts!" You jokingly say trying to lighten the mood Everyone in the party now begins to laugh and throw progressively stupider and stupider insults at each other to see who can make the dumbest sounding one. <<set $Aarontrust to 3>> <</if>> You then begin to get close to the [[camp]] <<set $time to 0>>

You decline Aaron's offer saying that you aren't really good at confrontation. After all you did almost get mauled to death by a low level wolf of all things! However he persists saying "Look you don't have to fight, you can just hide and tell us who to take out! That'll work right?" <<if $male == true>> Eliza then interjects explaining that "It might work out if they aren't the most intelligent of demons, but if they are of the more intelligent variety, he could be in grave danger. One of us would have to buddy up with him and make sure he stays out of danger." <<set $Elizatrust +=1>> Klara disapprovingly screams at both of them screeching that "This guy has 0 Magic power, 0 Combat experience, and almost got killed and YOU TWO even think he has a SLIVER of a chance!? He has 0 CHANCE of taking out any of the guards! He'll probably cause us too many problems he's too dummy thicc and the clap of his ass cheeks will alert all the guards in the Camp! "Oh yeah? Well even if this thicc sack of ass alerts the guard I can penetrate the demons with my big ass sword!" Aaron boasts to Klara confidently. Eliza then laughs really hard and exclaims, "You guys QUIT IT! THIS IS TOO FUCKIN FUNNY! DUMMY THICC! THICC SACK OF ASS! THAT HAS GOTTA BE SOME OF THE DUMBEST YET MOST HILARIOUS PHRASING I'VE HEARD! AND OH MY GOD AARON STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR SWORD LIKE ITS YOUR (CONTENT REDACTED)!!" You look really puzzled, but play along with them and begin to laugh along with Eliza at the sheer absurdity of this situation. You then exclaim "Alright that may be a gutbuster but wait until you hear about the guy who turned himself into a pickle! NOW THAT'S THE FUNNIEST SHIT I'VE EVER SEEN!!"
