Salaryman Luciel was just moments away from a long-awaited promotion when a stray bullet ended his life, only for a whimsical deity to grant him a second chance in the magical realm of Galdardia. Also known as Seija Musou: Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World, this tale follows a man determined to avoid a second premature death by any means necessary. Choosing the supposedly safe path of a healer, Luciel quickly realizes that his new profession is mired in greed and corruption, with the Healers Guild more interested in extorting gold than saving lives. Refusing to become another predatory cleric, he makes a fateful deal with the local Adventurers Guild, subjecting himself to a brutal "Training from Hell" and the stomach-turning effects of the legendary Substance X just to survive the political and physical threats closing in on him.

What begins as a quest for self-preservation transforms into a high-stakes struggle against a shadowy religious system when Luciel is tasked with cleansing a monster-infested labyrinth that has swallowed countless souls before him. Buffeted by the animosity of corrupt high priests and the terrifying weight of his own "Master Luck", he must balance his paralyzing fear of death with an emerging sense of duty to those the church has abandoned. From enduring bone-breaking sparring matches with the guild master to uncovering the dark secrets of the undead hidden within the church’s deepest vaults, Luciel’s journey is one of relentless grit and unconventional growth. Through blood, sweat, and a lot of foul-tasting medicine, he pursues a singular, unwavering dream: to finally reach old age in a world that seems hell-bent on making him a martyr.
