They say you can't escape inflation. They were right.

My greatest ambition was financial freedom, a decent job, and a life without stress. A simple, achievable dream for a simple man.

I never asked to be a hero. I certainly didn't have a savior complex. But when I overheard a man with a knife promise a terrified woman a gruesome end in the river, my stupid feet moved before my smart brain could stop them. Why? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe it was her face.

The consequence for my momentary insanity? Death by isekai express. Thanks, truck-kun.

I expected heaven, nirvana, eternal peace. Instead, fate dumped me into a brand new world, ready for adventure!
