that got to be some messed up electric outlet if you get electrocuted from it by just that, most outlets are safe unless you plug metal pieces into them🤣
also , if someone offerd you a city for cheep, im pretty sure most people who spent more then a day on the internet would realise is fishy as heck. 🧐
but hey, it makes for an interesting premise so who am i to complain. 👺

Indeed, I once touched my outlet with a foot and it turned terribly... I hit the power switch and had to restart my game 
(Luckily no permanent damage to any of the devices)
Aside of that I once touched battery charger that had the casing open and missing from the bottom which I didn't know and grabbed it. The electricity reached an elbow when I let it go and it was quite interesting experience tbh. A bit thrilling 😎

AND THIS, is why you shouldn’t be a retard and put your power sockets so close to your damp-ass feet. Like, have some common sense and have them at a more reasonable distance. Safety first, people! Only put it next to your feet if you have rubber boots or something

Ok, pal, leg into power chord won't kill you unless electricity passes through your chest or head. Which can't happen with this pal sitting on his chair. Plastic chair.
It would be deadly if he placed his two hands, or hand and leg in two separate sockets.
So author sould go and make love to physics book before writing this crap.

The cart's driver seat is very close to the horse. What happens when the horse poops?

@ksenijkot The weird thing here is more to do with how that much electricity just came out of the powerstrip with just a touch or even proximity. Such a thing is supposed to not work that way, generally, and has built in safeguards against various possible forms of failure that could make it dangerous to touch or perhaps even be near. But all that actually means is that in theory, you could get electrocuted by one under fairly specific circumstances that shouldn't happen but maybe could be made to happen.
The part where he died by being shocked through his foot is entirely reasonable. That happens all the time, you can go look up some incidents if you want. People step on a live wire or something that got exposed somewhere it wasn't supposed to and drop like a Jenga tower. Hell, people get killed by electricity without touching anything at all sometimes too. A downed powerline by the side of road can do that sort of thing if you're close enough to one. His chair might help or not, but that's a whole other set of very specific conditions and variables to look at that could also be lined up just right to let him die.
This whole scenario requires a lot of moving parts to be in just the right place at just the right time, but it's technically at least plausible enough to use in a story. Ridiculous and unlikely, but if the universe or some god or something was out to get you, they could probably do this to you if they felt like it. Hell, that's without even getting into whether the god or whatever could just do any of this while completely going against the known laws of physics, so
TL;DR: even if this was impossible, fantasy isekai/a wizard did it/it's magic, I ain't gotta explain shit

@Glomoro By now I completely forgot what the chapter and the manga were about and I had to reread. It was meh.
Challenge accepted.
Point first: You don't die in an instant this way.
If you step on a live exposed wire with one foot, you will exactly fall because of muscles in your leg contracting before being a bit fried, but not die instantaneously because oh no all your body is shocked now. Pfft.
Point second:House appliances are bad at murdering people because electricity at home is weak.
Now, accounting for wire position and location this happens in, contact with the wire will be broken and, even if it weren't , he would just have one leg less. My older brother had to do wiring and got shocked by your pathetic 220v a couple of times, and judging from him being almost unhurt, it is clearly not enough to kill unless gotten through heart or brain. Our skin has resistance good enough to weaken it.
When you speak of live wires, you speak of transmission wires that run at high voltage and create a super-intense field of spreading electrons when touching the ground. Which is not the case at home, because oh no building materials are dielectric and power is puny.
Point third: Surprise, breakers!
If you manage to get shocked, electricity will leak out of system through his leg, let's imagine, into other cable, causing a short circuit. And what will happens when electricity leaks just a bit too much? A breaker click. System just shuts everything off, potentially freeing the guy and preventing him from being dead.
Point fourth and final: No magic for you.
Guy was clearly displayed zapped to death, so whatever you say about magic not applies here at all. No excuses for bad writing will make bad writing good.

i alway sitting and put my foot near the power outlet for my PC. and many time i accident put my foot in it and not get a elecshock or anything. once is my foot hair touch the inside the outlet but it shock a little and the hair burn imeditly and not do any harm to the body lead to dead.
