Friday Evening, Earth-
"Roby, good job, u can go home now, no need to push yourself so hard." the manager said.
There's absolutely zero response from the man named Roby, if he can be still considered human, as if he has fused perfectly with his "workspot", creating the perfect human-machine couple of production.
"ROBY GET YOUR ASS UP AND GO HOME!! IM NOT PAYING YOU EXTRA, IM TIRED AND I WANT TO CLOSE AND GO HOME! " the manager shouted on top of his lung. Finally Roby awake form his state of limbo and after changing clothes he starts walking towards his house.
But Just as he's about to cross the street in front of the agency, the world-famous kill streaking, life-ending, other-world-sending truck appeared before him and bash right into him, sending him flying across the street where the brother of the truck, another truck bash into him as well and sent him right into a furnace that is strangely opened and working.
Same Time, Gods Domain-
"Don't you think you are getting too creative these days, Amber?" a red-haired young girl asked. "I don't want to hear it from you, Ruby 'The Cryomanic'." responded a teenage-looking girl with brown hair, "at least you could think of ways with fire, you know, the same color as your hair and name suggests." "And who said that red is always associated with fire?" "Oh, you know tha- " "DING DONG!" "Oh the new hero's here, have fun Amber, I'm outta here." and then she disappears in a column of flames.
"Welcome to The DimSaver Ink, traveler, where we especially select people to send to the dimension as heroes and save the world. (disclaimer: prices can vary, we do not guarantee the success of the operation); Now any questions?". "Why me?" "You are surprisingly quick to accept the fact you are dead." Amber responded "Anyway you ever heard of random name generator? That tool is surprisingly good to take people to. Anyway, where do you want to go? We got plenty of worlds that need to be saved." "I don't know, I am kinda hungry right now, I just finished work and died so I haven't eaten dinner. Is there any ch-" "DRINNN..." "Oh sorry my phone just rang, let me answer for a moment." "Oh hi Boss nice to hear you," "Yea yea I'm working, ye ok lemme search up he's hungry, oooh Foodlandia I can send him there bye bye new hero have fuuun!" "What, Boss? Yes, I'm coming right away."
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Let's take time to talk about the sending ritual: the gods at work have 3 goals to fulfill when sending people to another world: 1. make them heroes, 2. give them a special ability 3. teleport them to the summoning altar. Because of the phone call from the Boss, Amber failed to accomplish the last 2 points.
Foodlandia, in a wall at the starter town-
"Where am I? I can't see anything!." 'CRACK!' "What just happened?" "Boy are you ok? You suddenly appeared in my inn's wall " a feminine voice said. Roby looked up and saw a muscular woman and the funny wall dress he was wearing. "I'm sorry for causing you trouble ma'am. I just got to this world and I don't know how I got here." "It can't be true right? If u just got here you must be the new hero the king was summoning, but aren't you supposed to appear at the altar? what are you doing here? Maybe the wall has interfered with your memory." "I am truly sorry ma'am, please can I repay your wall in some way, I can work at your place, for free if you want," said Roby while trembling in fear as the woman scares him to the core. "You aren't even listening to me, young boy. LISTEN!" "YES MA'AM!" shout Roby even more terrified; "You probably don't know even who you are, and based on my instincts, i think you are a good guy; so let me make you an offer: You, starting today, will be working here, and I will be offering you food and accommodation and some spare changes, how does that sound?" "THANK YOU, MA'AM!" Roby responded, less afraid. "Oh, we still haven't presented yet, I'm Joanna V. Jam, you can call me Jo. What's your name?". "I am Roby Banks, pleased to meet you!".
So our hero's strange journey finally starts.
Demon King Castle-
"I can feel it. Another one has come." the demon king smiles while continuing to drink and relax on a bean bag. "Damn, it's too comfortable to move, Lily! Talk to your sister, she's going to hero hunting."
