Synopsis:

Kinji Ninomiya meticulously planned a life of leisure, achieving self-sufficiency as a NEET and surveying the world from his high-rise apartment. His carefully constructed idyll is shattered when a sudden portal transports him to a harsh new reality. He finds himself indentured to a mining corporation prioritizing profit over worker safety, a stark contrast to his desired lifestyle.

Forced into this demanding environment, Kinji leverages his resourcefulness and social skills to navigate the company's cutthroat culture. He forms alliances with fellow employees while secretly plotting an escape and a path toward financial independence. The series explores themes of corporate exploitation, personal agency, and the challenges of maintaining one’s ideals in the face of overwhelming adversity. Kinji must adapt his approach to life once again as he struggles to break free from the corporation's grasp and build a future on his own terms.
