Synopsis

A young lad with an odd condition that makes him look bored all the time gets reincarnated in a fantasy world after getting shot in the head by some mobsters (in his words "a bit of bad luck").
A being going by "God - DYN2" grants him a unique magic ability ("teleportation, kind of"), as a boon, because it seemed like a good idea at the time, and it's "standard in this sort of thing."
With his newfound powers and opportunities, he'll mostly just do what other people tell him to do. Because, I mean, coming up with stuff to do is hard, y'know?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know I kind of made this sound like a parody, given the title and description, but that's not really what it is. Essentially, I've been on a fantasy kick lately, and I have some ideas for mildly comical characters with fun-ish gimmicks, so I decided to write a fantasy story. Additionally, I figure that Isekai is good for a starting wannabe writer such as myself, because it's a decent and easy plot hook, and, frankly, I don't anyone expects that much from stories like this, so it's okay when I suck.
Honestly, a lot of this is me looking at Isekai stuff and thinking "wouldn't it be cool if this happened instead?", so expect a lot of standard tropes and clichés.
In summary, expect an incredibly generic fantasy world (almost comedically so), being explored by some mildly entertaining goof characters. Also expect that you quickly realize that the whole bored-eyes thing will come up basically never because the story doesn't have a visual component and I can't think of any interesting ways to implement it into the story in ways that don't feel like I'm just trying to justify the gimmick.
If you ever feel like a chapter isn't particularly entertaining, interesting, doesn't even advance the 'plot', and mainly just exists so that I could say that I put something out that day, you're probably right. That's a problem with writing by forcing myself to write every day, sometimes ya just suck but still need to get something down. It happens. Please bear with me, or just skip those chapters. I probably would, assuming I read this story in the first place.
You'll also come to realize this story probably would have been funnier in third person, because then you could actually see how people react to his condition. Ah well. (Y'know, I've been thinking about this more and more recently. You can only really do misconception based comedy if you have multiple perspectives, right? That means I ROYALLY screwed up by writing this story in first person. I either have to seamlessly jump between multiple POVs, which is hard, far, far too tricky for someone of my skill, or I just have to live with my mistakes and forget about, like, the whole premise of the story.)
Also, minor content warning, there's a bit of blood in some of the actiony parts. It's not super graphic, and I don't go into great detail, so it's not gore-y at all, but it is there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(don't expect updates to be too consistent or constant by any means. I try to get a chapter out at least every 2-3 days, but, again, don't expect consistency.)
