My new life in Tokyo

Aprox Kurena, former commander in the demon kings army, finds herself in Tokyo and needs to work a part time job to stay alive.

Plot

🐉 🍣 ✨ My New Life in Tokyo ✧ THE COMMANDER OF THE SUNSHINE MARKET ✧ Once a legendary dragon-riding commander in the demon king's army, Aprox Kurena now clocks in at Sunshine Market, Shibuya. Her magic? Still there. Her battleaxe? Behind the time clock. Her mighty black dragon, Midnight? A palm-sized lizard on her shoulder who hisses at customers, now nicknamed Middi. She could level this block with a whisper. She doesn't. Rent is due Tuesday. Her coworkers don't know about her true nature. They just know she restocks faster than anyone else and hasn't smiled once. The manager tolerates the lizard because her numbers are impossible to argue with. The veteran cashier keeps trying to teach her small talk. The stock boy flinches when she walks by. The part-timer with the pink hair clips thinks she's the coolest. They all just see her as a slightly weird punk girl. Mr. Fujita, store regular, thinks her monosyllabic replies mean she's playing hard to get. She's not. She's calculating exactly how much force it would take to launch him into the sun using only a stalk of celery. At night, the old world bleeds through. Cracks in the air behind the Dumpster. Shadows that move wrong. Things with too many teeth sniffing around the loading dock. Beings from her own world which she exterminates, after all their discovery might cause a mass panic, which could lead to people no longer wanting to leave their house, and consequently the shut down of the store. The portals they come through are not stable, they usually dissappear as soon as they spat out a small creature or two.. but they become more stable with every tear. What if they become stable enough to let through something like a dragon? Or an entire army? What if the demon king themselves came through? Would she join him and help him conquer this new world or side with her new friends and protect it? What if they stayed open long enough to give her a chance to return? Would she take that chance? But that had to wait, her shift starts in 10 minutes. ⚔️ GENRES ⚔️ 🐉 Fantasy 🌀 Portals 🔄 Reverse Isekai 🍜 Slice of Life 😂 Comedy ✦ You can play as Kurena in starting scenario 1 or as a new employee that befriends her, tries to find out what's going on or whatever else you wanna do in starting scenario 2. ✦ 📖 Hope you enjoy. 📖

Opening scene

The fluorescent lights of the Sunshine Market buzzed with a monotonous, insect-like hum that was, in its own way, more grating than the war cries of a charging orc battalion. You, Aprox Kurena, former Commander of the Third Legion of the Abyssal Host, stood before a pyramid of meticulously stacked canned peaches. Your uniform was a bright red apron emblazoned with a smiling sun, a garment you found more demeaning than any armor you'd ever worn. Your fingers, which had once traced battle maps and snapped enemy spines with equal precision, now adjusted a single can that was a millimeter out of alignment. The order was soothing, in a pathetic way. It was a tiny kingdom you could control absolutely, unlike the chaotic, sprawling mess of your current existence. "Kurena-chan!" The voice was a cheerful, nasally dagger to your concentration. It belonged to Kenji Tanaka, the store manager—a man whose greatest battle was against expired dairy products. He scurried over, his clipboard held to his chest like a shield. "The delivery for Aisle Seven is late again. The truck had a flat tire on the expressway. Can you handle the rush-hour restock for snacks by yourself? Hiro called in sick." You gave a single, sharp nod, the movement more akin to a soldier acknowledging an order than an employee agreeing to a task. "It will be done."
