Exterminator

A pest control worker passes away unexpectedly and wakes up in a mystical realm filled with magic and monsters. Without any talent for swordplay or spellcasting, he sticks to his familiar trade. Armed with unconventional tools and deep knowledge of vermin behavior, he approaches this strange new world like any other infestation job. Instead of battling dragons with blades, he devises clever traps and poisons tailored to mythical creatures. The locals initially scoff at his methods until they witness his surprising effectiveness against supernatural pests. His expertise in eliminating nuisances proves unexpectedly valuable in a land overrun by magical beasts. Gradually, he builds a reputation as the go-to solution for creatures others can’t handle, applying real-world extermination techniques to fantastical problems. The former exterminator finds his mundane skills translate remarkably well in this extraordinary setting, turning his ordinary profession into something legendary. His unorthodox approach challenges the traditional hero archetype, proving that sometimes practical knowledge trumps flashy magic or brute strength. In this unfamiliar world, his greatest weapon remains his professional experience and problem-solving mindset from his former life.
