[Comedy focused Story adjacent to “The wandering Inn, but more fast paced] Who’s this story for system? [Good Question, Greg. I’d probably say it’s for those who like a good underdog story, with earned progression through repeated failure. Some call it “character building”] So in other words, I won’t be OP? [More like, you’ll become competent… with time] But I’ll be OP eventually, right? […] …right. Onto the blurb then I guess. Book 1 blurb: In a world… Screw that noise. Hi, name’s Greg. I run a Safezone. Why? Because some system bricked my phone and dropped a portal door into my living room. Unlike most video-games and/or comics, I received ZERO combat abilities. Bullshit [That’s not true, Greg.] Fine. I can level, hire, and build stuff… I just have to pay for everything. [And?] And the “Safe” part of Safezone is more of a suggestion. [No.] And the bank’s trying to seize my house because I missed the fine print? […] Look, the point is, adventurers keep showing up, breaking my stuff, and somehow this is now my job. A litRPG with a heavy focus on comedy, slice of life, and money-based progression. Follow Greg as he tries to run a business, survive bad decisions, and maybe not go broke in the process. What to expect: • chaotic start —> steady growth • strong character focus • long-term progression (the cozy kind) • modern knowledge vs fantasy problems What not to expect: • OP protagonist • harems • excessive gore Updates: Paused, please see latest update. Thank you for understanding. Mondays—Wednesdays—Fridays. Story published on: - Royal Road Under the Author ZeroGuilt
