Buried in debt and seeking an escape, I chose to end it all; only to be reincarnated as an ordinary girl named Torie in a world of swords and sorcery.
“Who cares about magic and all that stuff? All I think about is making money! I want cash, you hear me?!”
With that sole purpose in mind, I became a potion merchant. I was supposed to use my knowledge from the other world to make a killing and join the rank of the elites. Instead, I ended up crossing paths with a classic “underdog” protagonist fresh out of a “broken engagement” story arc.
“Torie! You go first! I’ll hold them off!”
“Here, take this. It’s on the house.” I forced a smile as I handed him a potion. Everyone knows that if I actually leave him behind in a generic plot moment like this, I’m the one who’s doomed!
“Torie, I will never forget your kindness! I promise to grant any request you have!”
You’re really hell-bent on maxing out your affection stats with me, aren’t you?!
