Henry Savoy was a mixer—not bartender!—and the owner of a little local dive called the Walking Stick. After a particularly great night, just as he was about to close up, a sudden storm hit his bar. But—he didn’t die. Or... did he? No, I'm just fucking with you. Much to his surprise, he was transported into the world of Tearh—one right out of a fantasy novel. When he awoke, monks immediately declared him the Chosen One. Worse yet, he’s not exactly the hero type, and worse still, this world has no idea what an alcoholic beverage even is. All Henry wants is to get back home to the Walking Stick. So that’s what he’ll do—if the calamitous daemon lords, knights, saints, aristocrats, and a few meddling gods don’t get in his way. If there’s no way home, Henry will make one, because the Walking Stick will always need her mixer. "Or you know, I might stay here because fuck you. That's why."

Life puts them through heartbreak, hunger and hardship. And yet, they still managed to right the wrongs of those long since dead. For it doesn’t matter to them what they lose, as long as they can make the world a better place. Follow Lars, Nate, Mike and Jean on their F Rank Journey. A journey which tests them, but fails to mar their souls.

Most people don't choose reincarnation. Reincarnation finds their way to them. Perhaps they did something great in their life. Or maybe truck-sama wasn't looking where it was going.

Sometimes you just draw the short end of the stick. Di Tou just happens to have drawn the shortest stick. Pulled out of his life randomly. Taken by a crazy old eccentric man not as a disciple, but as a body double?! And a janitor body double no less?! Grasping a system to find... It's a JANITOR SYSTEM!? Truly, how unlucky can one get?

Until then, I’ve got to survive in this Insane world, a plot to follow, and one hell of a story to write... by living it.

I'm scared you'll turn your back on me like everyone else. I'm scared I'll lose you like I do everyone else."

What is worse than being the worst team in the world? For Dave Richards that was a very easy but heartbreaking question to answer, a goalkeeper who performed poorly between the sticks, he was still available as a first-choice goalkeeper because Unique FC didn't have any other goalkeeper. He was slow on his feet, couldn't jump properly and worst of all, he didn't know how to hold the ball properly. The only way that Unique FC was able to survive taking in a massive goal-fest sometimes was because of the extra effort they put in their defence. After a terrible match in which Dave wasn't able to make any saves and also made a lot of mistakes, he was seriously scolded by the managerial staff and almost received a beating from his angry teammates. He got home sad and also angry at all those who told him he looked like his grandfather and would therefore inherit his goalkeeping skills. He discovered a hidden door below his room and when he got down there the only thing he could see was a black box. He found the box to be quite familiar and when he opened it the last thing he saw was a bright white light when the light was gone he could see something in his field of vision. [ Welcome Dave ] [ You have activated the Goalkeeping system ] A female voice read out the messages. This is a story about how an ordinary man who didn't know his place between the sticks went from nothing to pro and beyond that.

Based on true life events, Oliver finds himself on the short end of the stick, and he navigates life from being an infant to a burgeoning teenager. Right before our eyes, Oliver battles a strange illness, meets a stalker, falls in love, battles bullying, and survives in High School which is like a KDF camp.
