#if idea

I wasn't sure if by new IF, the anon meant TSR or the janitor (cuz I doubt I'll be writing the janitor one given how I'm already writing Silverking, TSR and also did a liiiiittle writing for the dragon-parent one [One Small Scale]) but I'mma entertain this idea a little bit with my brain going overdrive ( •_•)>⌐■-■ | (⌐■_■)

SO

Imagine a tired asf MC, working for a janitorial company that cleans up the battles between the hero and villains (especially the #1 Hero and their team + one of the most nefarious villain and their crew). MC, unknowingly, helped the villain when they're in civilian mode by assisting them to get rid of a stain on their coat (I can picture the MC has a cleaning compulsion that they try to reign in to avoid annoying people into confrontation) and the villain is a little touched at MC helping them out.

Then one day, MC was cleaning the latest battle site between a different hero and bad guy when the same bad guy, who escaped from the attempted arrest, grabbed MC and held them at knifepoint or something similar. This, of course, does not sit well with the villain and he ends up leaving an injury on the bad guy and pulling MC to them...in their villain form. Then the hero comes to the site and not only do they end up intrigued by seeing MC being exasperated despite being in a life-or-death situation, but they're also shocked the villain saved MC from a bad guy. Nevertheless, as a hero, they have to save the hostage and stop the villain!

Just when the two were about to fight, MC, annoyed at how they just cleaned up the mess in the area, ends up blurting out "Can both of you fight on a different day? I have clean up to still do."

This leaves the villain and hero stumped, staring at MC and wondering why is a civilian not panicking or trying to get out of range. Annoyed at it all, MC just goes "Look, I get you two to have a grudge, vendetta or some mysterious back-to-back feud with each other, but gods above, take a damn break once in a while!"

"You...do realize you're in a life-or-death situation, right?"

"And? I'm going to be in a dead situation if I don't do my job and clean up the messes you two, and so many others, left behind. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to scrub off the slime and charred bits splattered on that wall over there."

Thankfully, the hero and villain didn't start a fight, just staring blankly at MC. Then MC probably got reamed out for stopping the villain and hero from fighting and preventing the company from getting another potential cleaning job for the number #1 hero and MC just comes home, exhausted from it all...when a knock comes to the door.

MC opens it up and finds the hero's civilian form/actual appearance and the hero, enamoured by MC's traits (bravery against dangers? Hard work? Casualness with all these hero/villain stuff?) and immediately ask MC if they would be interested in hanging out...then villain's civilian form came to MC's apartment and 'conveniently' found out MC lives here...which MC just ends up realizing who they really are and now MC has both the villain and hero be completely oblivious of each other while at the same time yeeting oil into MC's life to set it on fire.

And all MC is thinking "No shoes in the house!"

Isekaied into a world of horror you must find a way to survive as you are hunted by cultists, eldritch monstrosities, and other survivors of the apocalypse that brought madness to this world.

Horror Isekai takes place in a world that has fallen to insanity after, in 1931, a cult managed to awaken H' ahf' gokln'gha fhalma ot mgehye'lloig uh'eog ot lloig, an Elder Goddess who had been sleeping in the moon. In the course of twenty four hours the world was driven to madness as the moon's reflection touched each part of the planet.

During the day people do their best to live a relatively normal life, or as normal a life as one can live under the watchful eye of cultist enforcers. But at night, once the moon rises, it all goes to hell. Not only is the night stalked by raving cultists but the children of the Goddess roam the dark hunting for any who would fill their mother’s insatiable hunger, She craves the madness She brings in all its forms.

It will be called "Tide of Stars". The eldritch horror entity RO and worshipped by the community is commonly called Blood of Stars. It is in the same universe of Walking on My Grave. The aesthetics will be all about reds and purples.

LOL XD I'll be honest, I do love the idea of MC being strong. But I also love them being in the opposite position of heroes or heirs and heiresses. (Check out @disenchantedif if you haven't - it's so 👌🏻)

So yeah, I love my MCs underdogged and in need of a found family, in a sense XD Thank you, anon!

then there's this little human baby and somehow, MC ends up adopting them without realizing they're of royal blood.

So there's a party (all of them ROs) who fought their way to the dragon's domain/lair and just when they're about to challenge MC, the baby starts crying. The almighty dragon, foretold to have no love for humans, had to excuse themselves and go soothe the little tyke and display a massive contrast to what the reputation precedes you as.

It's a win-win!
