The Villain Support Hotline

Rikuya dies in a accident. After that, he expects a random bunch of afterlife clichés: heaven, hell, or maybe reincarnation with cheat powers. Instead, he awakens in a dimly lit office with demons, orcs, and imps in business suits. His new job? Answering calls on the Villain Support Hotline, a mysterious service providing advice and assistance to villains from countless worlds. It does sound ridiculous—until Rikuya notices that everything he says during those villain support calls changes history. You comfort a crying necromancer? That could save an entire kingdom. Give a wrong set of instructions? That could bring the deaths of thousands. Somewhere between the dreadful paperwork, the villains, and a cup of coffee with the most peculiar of monsters, Rikuya ends up caught in the game of cosmic balance. The manual on his desk somehow starts writing rules unseen by anyone else. His coworkers are demons that keep their own secrets. Beyond every mundane villain complaint lies more than just customer service—fate management. But why him? Why did a human get dragged into this endless cycle? Bound to keeping his job and life expectancy from hitting zero, Rikuya will face rival agents and cunning villains. In this office everything could be decided by one bad call.
