Dear Inspector,
Please accept this letter as my formal resignation from being a Player.
Hey! Laugh all you want, but I had to try. With no rules down here, who's to say that I can't resign?
Anyway, my reasons are simple: I'm neither a gamer nor a hero. You got the wrong person for the job. Sure, the pay is decent and I could pretty much live like a king if, you know, I wasn't so busy trying to survive. I have major concerns about the demonic dagger bound to my soul too. Come to think of it, I've never asked to be transported to this fantasy land either and would like you to return me home, thank you very much. I don't want supernatural powers, I don't want to complete quests after quests, and I don't want to be your test subject anymore. What? I'm not whining, you're whining. Stop making excuses and let me leave already.
Thank you for your understanding, and I hope you'll find a better replacement after I'm gone for good.
Sincerely,
Randel, the Mad Painter
This is mainly a story for people who are a bit over-saturated with Gamelit/RPG System/etc stories but still like them, so expect a lot of satire and subversion of cliches without lacking a interesting story. The MC has a lot of quirks and unreliable narration which is interesting and infuriating at the same time (and the author knows that), an important thing about his character is that he doesn't want to "play the game", he actively avoids fighting when he can as well as upgrading his powers and using the game system in general (which the Author uses to avoid using "system windows" too much), so if you dislike protagonists who care more about having a normal life than becoming OP and having an adventure I don't think you'll like this story very much.
