An 18+ comedy isekai. Julian wanted a quiet life. The gods had other plans. Reborn into the fantasy world of Veridia as a broke F-rank adventurer with a "useless" light affinity, Julian's plan was simple: keep his head down, pay his dues, and stay out of trouble. There's just one problem — his light magic isn't weak. It's SSS-rank. And the pervy god who granted it won't stop "blessing" his inventory with the worst possible items at the worst possible times. Now he's stuck carrying a party that thinks he's dead weight: Rowan, the too-pretty sword fighter with a secret of his own; Kess, an elven archer old enough to know better; Donn, a shieldbearer with more heart than sense — plus Vane, a snarky fox familiar; Caspian, an emerald dragon familiar; Dimitri, Valen's long-suffering fox acolyte; a goddess of whimsical relocations; and a guild bureaucracy that runs on paperwork and spite. The pay is terrible. The quests keep getting weirder. The god won't leave him alone. *Overtime in Veridia* is a comedy isekai about a burned-out hero, the found family he didn't ask for, and the divine HR department from hell.
