The protagonist wakes up on an ordinary grassland in another world, wearing his usual sneakers and with no memory of how he arrived. He walks to a nearby village, where guards stop him and register him with the temporary name Tadano and the occupation unemployed. He stays at a cheap inn, paying with a few unfamiliar silver coins. The innkeeper is indifferent but lets him stay. His first days are spent observing the village: the market, a blacksmith, children playing, and adventurers complaining about low rewards. He refuses to register at the Adventurer Guild because he fears danger and death. He decides to survive by avoiding all quests.
The innkeeper warns him he cannot stay without working. On the second day, the protagonist still avoids the guild, but when he sees a missing sheep quest he feels a temptation and backs away. He is called a person with a talent for doing nothing. He spends the afternoon sitting on a bench, eating bread, and watching other adventurers get attacked by bees during a grass-cutting quest, confirming his caution was correct. The innkeeper gives him a deadline: by tomorrow he must earn money. That evening he checks his wallet and finds only one silver coin and two copper coins. He decides to drink water instead of buying food. He passes by the guild but does not enter, reading the board from a distance. He fantasizes about easy work but rejects every possibility as dangerous.
On the third day, with no money left, the innkeeper refuses him breakfast. The protagonist wanders the village, sniffing bread from stalls but not buying. He considers begging but holds on to his pride. He spots a child who dropped bread, helps the child return home, and is invited to dinner by the grateful mother. This gives him one free meal, but it is not a sustainable solution. That night the innkeeper turns him out. He gives him a piece of bread as charity and the protagonist sleeps under the eaves, cold and hungry. He vows to make a real decision tomorrow.
The next morning, stiff from sleeping outside, the protagonist finally enters the guild to accept a quest. He chooses warehouse organization, the safest job available. He signs the contract despite trembling hands. The warehouse is old and wooden but contains nothing dangerous. He spends the day organizing boxes and completes the task without incident. He receives a reward of several copper coins and returns to the inn, paying for another night. The innkeeper even adds extra bread to his breakfast. The villagers start to treat him with respect because he did his job properly and came back alive.
Encouraged by his success, the protagonist takes a new quest the next night: field watching, to guard crops. The danger level is listed as low. At the field, he has no weapons. A giant rabbit with red eyes and sharp teeth appears and begins eating vegetables. The protagonist tries to chase it away, slips in the mud, and falls flat. The rabbit finishes eating and leaves. The next morning the farmer thanks him and pays him anyway, claiming the rabbit will not return. The protagonist is confused but accepts the four copper coins. Back at the guild, he sees a new request for an experienced field watcher. The receptionist praises him for being safe and reliable. He realizes that in this world, simply surviving a task without dying or complaining is enough to earn a reputation as a capable handyman.
The story follows a petty protagonist who desperately tries to avoid heroic adventures, conflict, and danger. He aims only to survive day by day using minimal effort and maximum caution. However, his small successes draw attention and gradually drag him into low-level work that may escalate into greater demands. At the end of the given narrative, he worries about his future as the village begins to see him as someone reliable, a role he never wanted. His ultimate goal remains pure survival, but he senses that his luck will not last and that the story of a heroic calling may eventually force him into action, no matter how much he resists.
