Kentaro Yamada, an office worker, lived a peaceful life with his dog, Max, and his cat, Nini. One day, he had an accident while out for a walk and woke up to a spectacular natural landscape. Suddenly, a squirrel-like creature, the self-proclaimed "Creator," appeared and said that they were in another world. He said, "Thanks to your coming here, this world has been saved!" and that we could live freely. With that explanation that he didn't quite understand, Kentaro Yamada ended up living in a medieval fantasy, RPG-like world, with fluffy, chubby, and precious friends. He became a cheat monster-using savior, together with Max and Nini, who grew to giant sizes and could suddenly talk! **Official JP**: [Comic Earth Star](https://comic-earthstar.com/episode/14079602755509017215), [Official channel of Comic Earth Star](https://manga.nicovideo.jp/comic/62978) in Nico Nico Seiga **Original webnovel:** [Shousetsuka ni Narou](https://ncode.syosetu.com/n2245fj/)

"What awaits you at the end of your patience? To hell with doing things for others," says light novel author Arisue Ryo, who rejects Hirono's way of life when they first meet. She has always put others first and has always drawn the short straw. After being fired and her boyfriend leaving, Hirono sits alone in her room and remembers Ryo's suggestion: "If it can bring about change in my shambles, I'm prepared to take on the devil's hand." A heart-wrenching fateful choice, the first step towards new courage, now unfolds before Hirono. (Source: Shinshokan, translated)
