A second life in another world with cute girls by your side and video gamey powers-sounds like a dream, right? Not so for a certain melancholy author, who would quite literally rather drop dead. Honestly, all the fantastical adventure is just getting in the way of his poetic dream of finding the perfect place to die. But no matter how much he risks his hide, everything seems to keep turning out okay. Will our terminally depressed hero find a new lease on life in this cheerfully bleak isekai comedy?
"A BROKEN MAN? I WOULD WELCOME SUCH AN OUTCOME."

Together, heroes summoned from another world defeated the dreaded Dark Lord-but those very same heroes have become an even greater peril. They've made the world into their playground, using their skills and powers for personal gain.

But the melancholy author known as "Sensei" is different. He alone has the power to send his fellow otherworlders back home to Earth. Trouble is, he's an unreliable, unpredictable, and deeply moody fellow with absolutely zero sense of self-preservation. When his party encounters a town with an exploitative casino, Sensei develops a fascination with a woman unjustly vilified as a "witch." Holding pen in hand, he spins the tale of a complex world where not all things are black and white.
