In Another World, I Must Defeat the Demon King
In Another World, I Must Defeat the Demon King by Miles English
A bit different. Shana is working the Sunday shift at the diner when someone appears, throwing fireballs. Followed by a sword-wielding hero looking like a Disney prince. She, the hero, and the diner's owner take the sorcerer down with sword and guns.
The new arrival, Henry, finds he has just become a [Knight]. He's on a Quest to destroy the Demon King, which makes it a bit interesting to land in a world where no one levels up. But after Shana helps him and he helps her with her new Status screen -- as in, assuring her she's not mad -- she and some friends help him oriented himself. (He shows a remarkable amount of sense for someone in an isekai, even if it's reversed.)
It involves a sewer dungeon and the classical rat; sorcerers and their crystal hearts; questions about experience in this world; Henry's impoverished family; skills and lore; and more.
