Web serial by Mark Arrows
Jump into a fantasy deathworld. Smuggle magical loot and refugees back to Earth. Try not to die. Michael Wade's only goal in life was to get rich — and that's gotten a lot more literal recently. Stuck in retail hell and living paycheck to paycheck, his circumstances change dramatically when a desperate god offers him the ultimate side hustle: running a nightly smuggling operation between his bedroom and another world entirely. One filled with spells, treasure, and as much magical contraband as he can stuff into his pockets. There's a small problem: the band of heroes destined to save that world failed centuries ago, and the place has become a goddamn deathtrap. With a reality-bending video game System to exploit, years of min-maxing experience, and a chaotic god texting him questionably useful advice, Michael might survive long enough to make the operation actually work.
