Chapter 0:

Daily life of society loser

Love Beyond The Closet Door

Inside a dark room with only a source of light coming from a smartphone screen.

*Tak tak tak tak!

Victory!

Inside the scene, A male warrior in pixel art style character wielding a sword pose heroically after slaying the Gigantic black dragon, a Large number of glittering items dropped from the boss's corpse, and the intense battle spans over hours finally comes to a close.

“Phew, I finally managed to slay nightmare level boss, Kaiserous of Wrath, one of the highest level bosses in the game, the 7 Deadly Sins.”

‘Who in their right mind designed a boss that has 5 phases with absurdly high stats and make it solo challenge-only content in a gacha game seriously…being free to play player sucks without being able to get good stuff…’

*Beep beep beep beep!!

“Eh…it already morning? Ah…I left the cloth hanging outside overnight too…”

Put aside the 7yrs old smartphone (almost 8 soon)

My body feels very stiff from staying in the same position for a long time, and fatigue from overnight gameplay makes me want to go to sleep right away.

‘But I'm hungry to go sleep right now, need to finish today's housework and get something to eat first’

Rotating my shoulders, and lightly snapping my neck and back, help my muscles feel slightly better.

I search for my clutch placed near my bedside.

“Up we go.”

Lift myself up from the bed, placing strength on the clutch.

I slowly move toward the kitchen area, turn on the electric kettle, grab cup noodles from the cupboard place them on the counter, then move toward the small balcony, open the door, grab the laundry bucket on the side to place below the hanging rack and gathered the already dried cloth with one hand. Throw them all toward the bucket.

Pick up the bucket again, and go back inside after closing the door.

*Ding!

By the time I finished picking up the clothes, the kettle finished heating the water.

I placed the laundry bucket close to the closet and then moved toward the kitchen.

Pour water into my favorite tonkotsu flavor cup of ramen. Set 5 5-minute timer, while waiting for it to cook.

Grab some cola from the fridge and Voila! My usual breakfast meal is done, quick, and simple.

Picked up the phone on the bed, and I checked if there was anything I missed while doing a boss raid.

As usual bunch of missing calls and overdue bill message spam filled the phone notification center.

“Even if they keep spamming me like this, it's not like I have money to repay, to begin with,

*sigh”

I place the phone back on the bed, feeling depressed about my financial situation like always.

“It's so hard to find a remote part-time job without required experience or qualifications this day. Even if there is one, most of them end up being scams.”

‘Why can't the government set up a way for people to earn a bare minimum salary money online even as low graduated or disabled’

Quietly grumble about this world's unfairness and economy.

*Ding!

‘At least, I still not ended up on the street just yet and still can enjoy some cheap food and games’

I'm glad for another modest breakfast today.

………………………………………………………………..

*Clang

Finished cleaning up the plate, took a shower, and brushed my teeth.

Drowsiness due to all-nighter gaming comes.

‘Ahhh…I will just do the daily quest and grinding on auto before taking a nap’

Wish, I have money to buy pc or laptop like those pc supremacists too.

‘The amount of stuff, I could do will explosively increase by a lot + more games to enjoy wasting my life away.

Although, the majority of them is still locked behind these countries only hah…’

Ah! Before that, I need to check out if there are any game new or website events on social media…

Slumping back on my bed, I checked if there was any interesting news.

Only to find that most new games out this year will require way above the spec of my phone.

‘This phone will become completely useless for even casual gaming or web browsing now huh? Everything requires 8 GB RAM nowadays to not crash or freeze every time you open the menu, talk to NPC, or open the bag’

Then again, I don't have a spare 300-500$ to buy an entry-level phone.

Well, no other choice, I can only keep playing low-spec requirement pixel games on my phone, and grind some items on MMORPG sell for some real cash.

……………………………………………………………

*Victory Music

Victory!

‘Too…tired, I need rest…’

I don't think, I can force myself to stay awake any more than this.

I struggled to set up auto farming and plug in the charging cable before collapsed on the bed too tired to bother with anything else.

‘I can just put the cloth back in the closet later…’

…………………………………………………………..

By the time I woke up, it already passed noon.

I check the time on my phone.

2:48 pm

Ah…I completely overslept and missed the noon raid boss spawn.

In the end, I wasted way too much time and missed my chance to be done with work once again.

*Sigh

I will just do it after ordering groceries.

I placed an order on the delivery app, bought cheap meat and bean sprouts, and also ordered some more cup noodles in different flavors.

I laid back again on top of a bed, feeling lethargic as ever.

‘Another day, another meaningless life, without any desire nor motivation to do anything'

*Chuckles

‘Not like even if I have one, finding the job is still incredibly hard due they only looking to hire perfect candidates (slave) or easy-to fool for quick cash scam’

Meaningless life that only leads toward my own destruction and solitude death.

Remain in that usual depression state I have every once in a while for some time.

*Ding dong, ding dong

“Delivery from OO21 Supermarket~!”

Ah!, Snap out of it! I can't let them wait for too long!

I hurriedly grab my clutch again and move toward the front door to receive the goods.

*Clack Clang

“Sorry, for taking a while, can I check the goods before confirming the order?”

‘The frequent wrong delivery from staff, is very high, please just not send others stuff with same or lower price range again’

A bad-mood-looking guy wearing a store uniform holding out a plastic bag filled with items to me.

“What? It's not my business, just take the stuff and shut up!”

He just shoved the plastic bag to me, then turned to the left right away.

“Tch, wasting my time…”

I look at his back for a short while and feel humiliated.

“Another bastard, despite bad work attitude still has a job…Hahaha...I'm seriously curious what managers think when they usually hire these types of people.”

I closed the door, headed toward the kitchen area, take out the stuff from a plastic bag to check if it was what I ordered or not.

Almost expired meat in 2 days, Bean sprouts that are discolored And the Wrong cup noodles flavor different from what I ordered.

‘This is why, Damn delivery again!’

I placed a 1-star review and completed the order in the delivery app once again.

‘It's 6th times this month already…’

*Sigh

I can't eat spicy flavor, another eat them dry then.

The meat is almost expiring too, today lunch is this then.

……………………………………………………………..

Ate and clean plate, and I no longer feel sleepy too.

‘Time to finish this soon, so I can go back to looking up remote jobs, send applications, and 99.99% get rejected again, then gaming time~!'

The only housework left today is just to place back the dried cloth in the closet.

(Cleaning the room is too bothersome, So I Skipped!!)

‘Although I didn't get any rare drops from Kaiserous grind, I still can craft good equipment and options with materials I got from my boss to sell them on the market for some cash~

With only selling game loots and accounts, taking care of game daily/weekly accounts being my sole income as jobless and still failing to find an online job, this is the best I could do to keep living.

Humming along to some popular anime music.

‘Let's finish this then go for another raid! Then have chilling time fishing afterward~’

Carrying the laundry, I open the closet door.

And before I even notice it, A mysterious vortex inside the closet sucks me inside immediately.

……………………………………………………………..

*Crash!!

“Kyaaaaaaa!?”

I landed head-first on the ground and scattered all my stuff around on the floor.

“Argh!!”

I took quite damage from the sudden impact and let go of my clutch and laundry.

I can hear the girl scream nearby.

Looking up, I saw a Luxurious room with Western-style aristocrats commonly seen in those shoujo manga. Sitting there while hugging plushies doll on an expensive fluffy-looking bed.

A Beautiful fair-skin girl with black lustrous hair and onyx-gem-like eyes opened in shock from the sudden intrusion.

“Y-you, Who're you!? How did you get in here!? O-oh great spirit of wind smash away th-”

A magic circle appeared in front of the girl's outstretched hand and directed it right at me.

I sensed something dangerous would happen if I didn't do anything soon!

“W-wait!, Let me explain-”

“Raging Gale!”

*Crash!!

I feel like my back got smashed toward the wall, the pain made me slowly lose consciousness from the impact.

Before, I fall toward the ground, I think I heard something….

“Eh? H-he not assassin?”

*Knock knock!!

“Milady!! Are you okay in there!?”
