「This is our first meeting, in this form... right...?」

A rookie nurse and closet otaku, assigned to the Extreme Ward, somehow gets lost in another world—one that resembles a zombie game popular long ago—while on a shift that's pushing her to the brink of death from overwork.

She should have lost all leisure and energy for getting into games ages ago... Yet, her body moves on its own! Annihilating every zombie in sight!!

Together with a game developer—who, like her, got lost in the same alternate world and is strangely well-versed in otome games (he's barely awake, having been transported while working himself to death as a corporate drone)—she desperately utilizes their combined specialties and memories. These include nursing techniques, bug exploits, common otome game tropes, and even recollections of scenes often found on old fanfiction sites. Their aim is the survival of themselves and the other corporate drones who, like them, have also been transported to this alternate world.

...But...

＊ After escaping the other world, it becomes an awkward pure romance between an age-gap couple of working adults unaccustomed to love. Until then, it's a horror-flavored suspense story infused with the sheer will to live of corporate drones.

＊ This is a repost of the old title, "Crowbar Nurse". The continuation is being serialized on Kakuyomu. Updates are extremely slow because a certain infectious disease forced me to rethink the planned developments... https://kakuyomu.jp/works/1177354054888779415

Crowbar Nurse, my web novel full of Japanese game parodies, has been translated by Osm-san, Arashi-chan12-san and Coffeen-san. The English version can be read below:
