Hi! I went through a really bad year on the first half of 2024 and reading got me through it. Now on the first month of 2025, Im still on this phase and i think i already have genre that I know i would to read which is fantasy and shoujo/josei romance,

I love

As in the title, does anyone know where I can read this? I have been searching for a long time. Any info would be so appreciated.

Does anybody know of a light novel where the mc gets transmigrated to a cultivation world I think where he lived in a very rural village. Every night he would peep at his adopted family having sex, eventually they became the village head and started practicing martial arts but had to leave and live in the mountains because he had kill a young master of a aristocrat family. He ended up getting involve with the only Dan maker of the city’s daughter along with his child hood friend. Started conquering surrounding islands went to war with a kingdom there was even a pirate woman who only loved woman and mc would occasionally look through the eyes of his spy when they had sex?

please suggest me some good light novels with action and Isekai MC is powered up, the antagonist is badass. a typical love story (no harem)

Doesn’t have to be pure romance. I’m fine if the romance is kind of a side plot, as long as the romance is fulfilling. I prefer stories where they get together partway though and we get to see their life together afterwards/during the story. For example: Mushoku Tensei.

But the most important thing to me is that the romance is fulfilling.

Thanks!

So this is vague I know, but I remember reading a part of what I'm assuming to be a Lightnovel.

From what I remember MC has been captured or turn themselves in (Accused of being a notorious bad guy) and is now being held in orbit of the planet, the planet is a poor one maybe a mining or trash planet? But not often visited.

A officer of some kind is questioning him when this big shot "adjudicator" or judge ( a women) ... something of the sort comes to find out what's going on ( from what I remember it went into how this person is like a noble on another planet only her family can have this role in what ever galactic authority they are and they are basically judge jury and executioner).

She comes basically dismisses it all,against the officers slight protest, then gives the guy some money for his trouble of being detained.

Also she mentioned the guy can't be the bad guy as this is an insignificant planet so this must also have some sort of intergalactic setting with starting planet being poor.

Posted over a year about but it just hasn't left me and really interested to find it I know it's not much to go off but I remember it peeking my interest so thank you for any help.

Just finished reading chapter 70 of the novel where walm is basically by himself and thinks everyone died.

Please someone give spoilers on whether or not he finds out everyone is alive. Basically if he reunites with Ayane the healer girl cause I wanna see that reaction.

Basically what happens now really?

Guy lived a bad life and died young, then reincarnated into a kids body who just got killed with the kids memories, he gets revenge for the kid and then goes into a forest. I remember he eventually goes to a school or something similar and also visits a demon world at some point, also remember that there are summons in this novel and the mc has a demon or something as his.

Hello people. Brazilian here. So I just went in shocked that light novels existed. I've always like anime. I love to read. And than I discovery manga. i thought that every anime began as a manga but apparently it is not the source. Do you guys can educate me on the topic?

Do every Manga has a Light novel?

If LN means light novel, what is the meaning of WN?

Do you guys think it is s good start to learn japonese?

Hello! I am new to the world of light novels. I am looking for some new stories to read, and thought of light novels since I am a fan of visual novels. As for genres, I prefer dramas, human conflict stories, science fiction, fantasy (but not isekai or medieval fantasy). I prefer stories with female protagonists in order to avoid harem and an overuse of female anime tropes. In short, I'm looking for a good josei light novel!

As for refferences: I really enjoyed Land of the Lustrous, Gakko Gurashi, Nana, Kobato, YuruCamp, Madoka Magica... Basically anything where women are either being badasses, having fun or sorting life out together.

Hi People,

i wonder if someone have a place go get the last volume of Sekai Saikou no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei Suru or the english title The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat, Vol. 8. I can't find it anywhere, even in Japanese. Any help?

Can anyone spoil me Ryuuou no Oshigoto(Ryou's job never done) Light Novel from volume 10to volume 15?

• Hookup Hiccup
• The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten
• My Stepmom's daughter is my ex
• Days With My Stepsister
• Haibara's Teenage New Game
• Aly Hides Her Feelings In Russian
• A Sister's All You Need
• Chitose Is In The Ramune

Which one has the best romance and worth reading if I want actual romance progress?

Mmm I've enjoyed the anime and am considering to buy the novels

But before buying the novels I usually listen to sample audiobooks and about weakest tamer.. I found the LN of the series is on YouTube so i tried to listen to a few chapters and also read the reviews on google

Here's what i think right now : by listening to the audiobook I think the writing is not so great and also by google i found out that the writter doesn't actually do anything but only follows a common pattern to write the story so the story isn't very good either

Is this correct or do i have the wrong idea

Because if it's true then for me personally it will be the poorest LN of a great anime

PROLOGUE: GOODBYE, THE HERO PARTY

The Party Leader, Zect, who also happened to bear the title of the Hero, announced it completely out of the blue on one day.

「Ceres! I’m sorry to say this, but starting from today you are banished from the party!」

「Hm, I see. Oh well, I don’t really mind it all that much.」

Zect and I might have gone quite a while back, being childhood friends and all that, but I always had a vague suspicion that things were going to end up this way sooner or later.

The Hero, Zect.

The Sword Saint, Lida.

The Lady Saint, Maria.

The Grand Wizard, Mel

And the Magic Swordsman, Ceres.

Together, the five of us were known as the S-Rank Party, the 'Light of Hope'.

The name of the party itself was a little bit on the delusional eighth grader’s fantasy side of the spectrum, but it was actually not even all that strange since Zect was the bona fide Hero. Not to mention that we also had the Sword Saint, a Lady Saint, and a Grand Wizard on the same team.

However, that being said, there was one huge problem that this Party had going on for itself.

Namely, the fact that the three of its five members were young women.

Now, in general Zect was actually a pretty decent guy, not all that bad at all.

However, he had one trait in particular that in my opinion was making him into the absolute scum of a human being.

It was the fact that Zect was extremely “Weak to Women”. As in, he could not resist their wiles and charms like, at all.

As I was also a healthy adult just like Zect was, normally I would never perceive that as something even remotely bad.

Certainly enough, he would always be there to help his comrades when they would be in need, but…… Zect was actually someone who would always put the notion of “love” before the notion of “friendship”.

That was just the type of a man that he was.

As Zect’s dear friend, I would like for him to go and see the doctor regarding that issue of his, but if he does not want to do that, then there is literally nothing that I can do about it.

And lately I was being left more and more behind by the rest of the Party.

It was true that because of the differences in our Jobs, I have not been able to keep up with the rest of the Party both power and skill-wise, so there was really no helping it.

Because of that, I did not really mind being kicked out of the Party all that much.

I mean, it’s only natural for me to think that way, wouldn’t you agree? If the only thing that we are going to be doing from now on is to argue with each other constantly, then what’s the point of traveling together? And besides, even if I am no longer with the Hero’s Party, I am still an S Rank Adventurer at the end of the day.

So even if I leave this party and go my own way, there are still plenty of opportunities waiting for me and things that I can do.

Even if I was unable to properly keep up with the Hero’s Party, there are plenty of other S Rank parties out there that I could become a part of. Heck, even if I was to drop down a little bit and try some A Rank parties, I would still have plenty of options to choose from.

So I did not have a problem with that in the least.

「Ceres, you do realize it yourself, right? That you can no longer keep up with the rest of us?」

「Yes, I guess that’s right. Lately it has become really hard for me, a Magic Swordsman, to keep up with everyone else…… And that’s a fact.」

This is all good. Everything is fine.

I know what it is that Zect really wants in life. What he really wants is to have a Harem Party all to himself.

But in order for him to be able to do just that, he would have to get rid of me, since apparently I was getting in the way of him being able to make his dream a reality.

「In order for us to make an even greater name for ourselves as Heroes, we need some great achievements under our belt. But with you constantly dragging us down and holding us back, that is sadly impossible. Please, do try to understand that. But hey, even if you are no longer in the Party, this does not mean that we won’t be friends any longer.」

If Zect, the leader of the Party, was saying so, then I guess that there was nothing I could really do about it……

 I was sure that the others must have been feeling the same way.

I quickly looked into Mel's eyes, the woman used to like so much, and I realized that she no longer had the same kind eyes that she used to have when she would look at me. I then realized that right now she has completely become Zect’s woman.

「I agree with Zect! You can no longer keep up with this Party the way you are now! At this rate, you are surely going to die or become seriously injured in the near future. So you’d better quit now before it’s too late…... Please, this is for your own good.」

「Mel…… Yes, that is exactly right, I knew that you would understand…… Thank you!」

Well, go figure that this would be what she was going to say! Though she never made even the slightest  eye contact with me this entire time. Because all this time she has been looking at Zect and Zect exclusively.

Anyway, I don't really care if she is sleeping with Zect or whatever…… And even if I did, there was nothing that I could really do about it.

But it was then that my eyes fell down on Mel's neck.

There was a mysterious-looking necklace that she was wearing on her neck, which was most probably something that Zect bought for her recently.

She was not even wearing the necklace I gave her a while back as a gift…… Realizing that fact made me feel a little bit sad and lonely.

 Looking at the other two party members, they were also wearing the same kind of necklace on their necks.

So, I guess that there really was no need for me at this Harem Party.

But be that as it may, should I perhaps check it out first? Confirm how things are standing?

「Mel…… You don't need me anymore, right?」

「.........」

「Mel, I would like to hear it directly from you if that is indeed the case.」

「Geez, I no longer need someone like you!」

That's just... Yeah, that feels just as I expected it to feel.

I knew it all along for a while now. It’s just that…… I guess I just needed a confirmation. That is all.

「Oh well, Zect is a really good guy, so I wish you both happiness!」

「D-Does that mean that…… you knew this entire time?」

「Oh, please! It was pretty easy to see, almost as plain as day. But yeah, since you are such a good guy, Zect, I don’t have to worry too much…… and I can just give up and step down.」

「I’m really sorry!」

「Hey, it’s alright. Don’t worry about it.」

Mel looked pretty sad and depressed right now, but in truth, there was hardly any reason for her to feel like that.

Although seeing my childhood friend parting ways with me made me feel sad, it was only making me feel that way a little bit. 

「You should probably go back to the village and become a local Adventurer…… Or you can always try your luck and find some other, weaker party with which you could join…..」

「Yeah, I guess so. I will be sure to take my time and think about what my next step should be.」

I guess that Zect mistakenly thought that Mel and I were actually dating, and so he thought that he would steal her away from me.

However, in fact, I did not have any special feelings for Mel. Rather, it would have been  a little bit of a problem, but oh well……

But still, for someone who I would get to call my best friend, that constant womanizing habit of his was really annoying…… I wonder if he is ever going to get around to do something about it?

Zect then looked at me with a triumphant look on his face.

Come to think of it, he’s always been looking down on me, has he not?

Couldn’t he just do something to get rid of that nasty habit as well, perhaps?

Like, seriously…… He was good at everything he did, he had a good-looking face, he was strong, and he was chosen to be a Hero, to boot.

So there was hardly any need for him to look down on others, as if he was trying to pick up a fight with them.

If he would just do that and keep his mouth shut, everyone around him would say that he was great and adore him even more.

But these two bad things about him were ruining his overall character, and it was something that was worrying me a little bit.

For the record, Mel and I were not really an item or anything like that. I just kind of naturally took care of her since Zect was always hanging out with Lida and Maria most of the time.

Didn’t Zect even realize that this was making Mel feel sad and lonely?

If he would ever want to build a harem for real, he should learn how to love all of his partners in an equal manner.

He should learn to be more honest with me. Since we were “best friends” and all that.

He should have come to talk to me at night, sharing his dreams and worries with me, and maybe say that he was dreaming about having a harem of his own one day.

If he had only done that, things would have been much clearer between all of us.

「Goodbye, Ceres.」

「Goodbye.」

「More importantly, rather than worry about you, I do feel bad for poor Zect. I’m sorry……」

Oh wow, four of your childhood friends saying goodbye to you all at once…… This is actually way more painful than I initially thought it would be.

I do not want to say it here, but it is true that I have spent the better portion of my life together with those guys, so it would be a lie if I was to say that I would not miss them a whole lot.

「See you!」

「Now, please don’t be too mean to him like that, Mel! After all, Ceres IS also my best friend out there!」

「Please, do not worry about it, Zect! Next time we see each other, we'll smile and talk... also, thank you for your help until now. I hope you four live happily ever after!"

「Alright, so with that being said, you are to leave the Party immediately!」

「Yeah, that’s right. You guys can go on and save the world or whatever, while I am going to take it nice and easy and do my own thing.」

Everyone, I guess that this is a goodbye……

***

Phew! Now that everything was said and done, I felt a slight sense of loss coming over me.

After all, I used to “love” those guys while we were still together.

However, I guess that my idea of “love” in this context was entirely different from their understanding of the term.

Simply put, the love I was feeling towards them was more like “paternal love” rather than “romantic love”.

Also, there is one other thing that I never actually told those guys.

The fact that I am actually a “Reincarnee”.

Was I also a Hero or something else like that in my previous life? Of course not. It was nothing like that. For you see…… in my previous life, I was just a plain and simple forty two-years-old father and husband.

And as a matter of fact, the memories of that past life were still pretty strong inside of my mind.

In that previous life, I was an elite salaryman with a family consisting of a wife and a single daughter.

That being said, none of that would be of that much use to me in this another world.

I do realize that people are constantly saying things like: "Don't let your previous life drag you down.” or “Since you are already reincarnated and living a new life, you might want to do things differently." but…… There’s no helping it, you know? 

Because of that fact, I could not help it but to perceive people of my current age to be nothing but children in my eyes.

To be clear, it’s not that I was trying to make excuses here, but it was just something that was impossible to me.

In this world, the age of legal adulthood is fifteen years old, but in a previous life,fifteen years old would still have you considered a mere student or a child.

Yes, that’s right, I must admit it…… In this world, I guess that you could call me a “MILF Lover”.

Because of this, other men in this world seemed to be total lolicons in my eyes. Technically speaking, in this world being seventeen means that you get to be called an adult, but…… In Japan, that would only mean that you would be a high schooler at best. In other words, an underaged person. But here it would make you a mature person.

And what's more, once you get to be over twenty years old in this world, you are no longer treated like a young girl anymore.

What a waste this is.

In my previous world I died as a forty two-year-old old man, and I have spent fourteen years in this world already. So to me, you would have to be at least in your late twenties to be considered a romantic interest in my eyes.

As the title says. I just finished Kijin Gentoushou up to the latest English translation, and I NEED MORE! I need me some titles with a similar atmosphere and genres (Action, seinen, mystery, drama, historical, dark/regular fantasy, supernatural, heck just the first four would suffice).

No RPG elements, No OP character, NO DUNGEONS!

Examples: Fremd Torturchen, Grimgar, Apothecary Diaries, hmmmm Holmes of Kyoto I guess? I've been eyeing Raven of the Inner Palace for a while now.

Appreciate any and all inputs!

I the My Happy Marriage light novel good?

I'm thinking of buying some volumes since I loved the anime but I'm conflicted.

Since I read some samples I felt that the first book was well written and smooth and fleshed out.

Then found out they changed the translators so the other books have someone else translating it.

As I read the samples from the other book they just felt dull and too much world building or like describing unecessary things.

I also felt the pacemaker was really slow and the dialouge between the lovers were so short like what they're lovers shouldn't they talk more. I get that Miyo is shy but I feel like other LNS I've reaf have mixed and matchen dialouge with third person storytelling better.

I feel like they could've done it better

and thw few dialouge we get is just like:

Kiyoka: Let's go || Miyo: ok

I just feel like the first book was done the best.

And sometimes when they describe it almost like poetry like this sentence that was in one book.

"It was like a paintbrush strokes painting a canvas".

When that describes that autumn is coming and that it's a windy day, when they write like that almost like poetry then I feel more emotions atleast.

Just read the manga and just need a convulsive ending but can’t find anything about the series online

Hello Everyone, hope you all are fantastic, if not en route to be xD. Wanted to know where the actual f**k can i get light novels aside from Amazon? I mean - i recently started to collect LNs and i thought - which better to start with than COTE! fun face volume 1, 4,7 and 8 can average 750 INR - volume 2 and 3 are 1200+ ane 890+.

At the moment i have the following 1,4,5,7.5,8,10,11

I know (at the risk of sounding broke) the LNs aren't mainstream in India - but I am will to pay the average price for the whole set. At the moment i ve got the ones in the image. Need more but the freakin price.

So, i humbly ask you all for suggestions

PS- NO EBOOK SUGGESTION

Loved the magic maker anime but hate how it feels like it is blue balling me with the magic research to focus on the MCs relationship with his sister so I decided to read the manga. Then I promptly found out that got axed 19 chapters in so I am trying to figure out how to read a translated version of magic maker that I can load onto my kindle because I find the concept of basically discovering magic interesting (though depends on how it goes from where the manga left off).

Granted one has to translate the books (I'm thinking of buying one even if it's japanese since none is available online) but one of them had "This work is available for download only."

What does that mean?

Does fanza have an app? (I bought the ebook version so wouldn't I in theory have the "download only" immediately but among the 6 only this one has that specific clause.)

I was wondering if anyone has bought from fanza and has encountered that issue?

I read I'm a evil lord a while back and that's a 10/10 and then I read space mercenary and it was ok.. started off pretty good just went hard into the Harlem territory and less adventure lol

Are there any other great space adventures ln that are good?

Any fantasy series with a bad ass female love interest that isn't a harem at all? Anything with femdom vibes would be great. Slow burn romance is also appreciated if possible!

What follows is rambling & spoilers for Raven of the Inner Palace:

Okay so I just finished Raven of the Inner Palace light novels. I absolutely loved it. Yet I was struck by a question or idea. If you've read/finished the series, do you think Jusetsu & Onkei could have a budding relationship? Now the reason I say this is because the scenes between them are also soft.

When Jusetsu thinks of him, she says he's beautiful or that his hands are warm. When she visits Yamei palace for the last time, he's with her & she says "Thank you for waiting." With the text saying they're leaving together. It feels so intentional. Which I know technically she's still with all her attendants (Jiujiu, Tankai, and Onkei) I could definitely be reading into this. But I don't know they're relationship feels different & soft. Not in a platonic way or in a way a protector wants to take care of their charge. Idk I could be grasping at straws but I wanted to know if anyone else got those vibes.

Prologue: The Desire to Be Transferred To a Different World

My name is Machio Hiraku. 

After graduating from College, I began overworking my body in some Black Company during my twenties and lived in the hospital throughout my thirties. Gender: male. And this year I have turned thirty nine years old.

And right now, I was meeting God.

「You are going to reincarnate me to a different world?」

「No, not reincarnate. Strictly speaking, I’m going to transition you to a different world.」

「Transition? Even though I thought that I died already? 」

「Yes, that’s right. And that is why I’m going to revive you in another world.」

「But my body, it’s……」

「No need to worry about that. I am going to get rid of your illness and regenerate your rotten and broken organs. Otherwise, you would die soon after your transition, and that would make it pointless. Also, while being at it, I am going to make you slightly younger than you are now.」

「Thank you very much.」

「No need to thank me. I will benefit from sending you to another world myself, you see. So in other words, you will be resurrected in another world for my sake.」

「Hmm, I see. So, I…… Is there something that you require me to do once I get there?」

「Oh, no need to worry about me and stuff like that. No, you just go live there as you please. Just go wherever you want and enjoy your second life the way you see fit.」

「I-Is that so?」

「What? Do you have any complaints?」

「No, not really.」

「Oh my, how obedient. But…… Are you really sure about it?」

「Yes. I have lived in the hospital bed for nearly ten years now. So there is really nothing to complain about when I am offered to be younger and have a healthy body.」

「Oh, is that right? I see. …….Ah……. But you see, the thing is…… I have no excuse for myself for pressing my own convenience onto your shoulders, so I will grant your wish in order to make up for that.」

「My wish?」

「Yes, that’s right. For instance……. I can grant you some special, powerful skills or bless your fate with only good encounters, and so on and so forth.」

「Well then, please give me a body that does not get sick.」

「…… A body that doesn’t get sick?」

「Yes. You see, during my lifetime, I have suffered from many different illnesses. If possible, I do not want to experience that kind of thing ever again.」

「Y-Yes, that’s right. That’s understandable. Then, a body that does not get sick…… I think that we can write that up under the “Healthy Body” category.」

When God said so, my body lit up all of a sudden. Despite that fact, for some reason I was able to realize that I had just received the blessing of a ‘Healthy Body’'. Much appreciated.

「Thank you very much.」

「Hmm…… While we are being at it, you can ask me for another wish.」

「H-Huh? But……」

「It’s alright…… Just say it.」

「W-Well then, if possible, could you send me to a place that has as few people in it as possible? That would be great.」

「A place with not that many people in it?」

「Yes, that's right. Umm...... You see, when my parents died, there were various people who introduced themselves to me as relatives, but those people...... Also, even in the company that I entered after school, those people were just...... T-That's why I...... I tend to distrust humans a little bit too much...... No, that's not it. Perhaps, what I lack is sufficient ability to communicate with others. And while I know it's something that I need to work on, doing so right off the bat is just a little bit......」

「Therefore, you want to go to a place without other people? I understand. I shall consider it when I am going to pick the place where I will transfer you to.」

God then reached out his hand to an empty space and made some strange set of movements. Perhaps he had just adjusted the transfer destination with those actions. I have nothing but gratitude to him for doing that.

「Once again, thank you very much.」

「That being said, I don’t mind if you tell me another wish of yours.」

「Huh? No, but that's......」

「It's alright. Just say it.」

「Umm, let's see...... Ah, that's right! Please make sure that I will be able to speak the language of the world I’m going to end up in.」

「You don't have to worry about that, I got you covered. The ability to speak with basic human beings is a given during a transfer like that. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any point in doing that, right? Think of it as a part of any standard beginner's kit.」

「I-Is that so? I see.」

「Come on now, hurry it up and tell me your wish already.」

「Even if you say that...... I have been bedridden in a hospital bed for such a long time that being able to move freely once more without any pain makes me more than happy enough. The thing I wished for the most has already come true, so......」

「Alright, then how about this? Is there something else that you always wanted to do? The destination for your transfer is going to be a world of Sword and Magic, a common setting for many fantasy RPGs, you know? Do you want to become the world’s best Adventurer? Or do you want to become a Mage possessing unique and rare abilities out there? Or do you perhaps want to be a king with a nation of your own?」

「Ahaha, no, thank you. All of those options are way too overbearing for me. Let's see...... Is there something that I always wanted to do if my body could move again......? Ah! Wait! I think there actually is something like that!」

「Is that so? Let's hear it, then.」

「It's farming.」

「...............」

「When I was a child, I remember watching a program during which some Idol girl was trying their hand at farming. After seeing that, I always wanted to try farming, even if it was going to be once...... Not to mention, while I was watching that program, I would fantasize about swinging a hoe around, just like that Idol did. I even hoped that we would do some farming during field study someday...... That's why I want to give farming a try.」

「I-Is that so? But farming, huh......?」

「Yes, that's right. I would like to try my hand at farming.」

「...............」

「Is that a "No"?」

「No, it's not about that. Now, I say that it's not about it, but to be honest, your wish is actually outside of my jurisdiction. Wait just a moment here, okay?」

「Sure.」

While I was waiting patiently, the God in front of me took out something that looked like an old cell phone from his pocket and after choosing a number he started to speak with someone on the other end.

Now, even though I could clearly hear the words that he spoke, I completely did not know their meaning. Was he perhaps speaking in a different language, one that humans were unable to understand?

However, I could say from their tone of voice that both God and the person on the other end of the call were discussing something while being very excited.

「I kept you waiting, huh? Here, let me give you this real quick.」

That being said, God passed me a hoe.

The handle part was made out of wood, only the blade part was made of what seemed to be iron.

「It's the ”All-Purpose Farming Tool”.」

「"All-Purpose"? While I think that this hoe is surely excellent in its own right, but making it an All Purpose Farming Tool seems like a bit of an overkill to me.」

「Now, it might look like a regular hoe, but if its Master only imagines it, it can transform and change shape accordingly and depending on the application.」

「Transform?」

「Yup, that's right. For example, just try to think that you would like it to become a sickle...... And it will respond to your will and become a sickle! You can also use it as a saw, hammer, crowbar, shovel, and so on and so forth......」

「Oh wow.」

「Furthermore, this tool is for your exclusive use, and no one else's. It will always be by your side. Even if you throw it away or somehow lose it, it will always come right back to you.」

「Talk about being highly efficient!」

「What's more, you can store it inside of your body, so you don’t have to worry about things such as storing it away. You can put it in and out of you as you wish. How about you give it a try?」

As I was told this, I concentrated on putting the All-Purpose Farming Tool inside of my body, and then I tried to get it out the same way.

「Amazing!」

「Please take good care of it for me.」

「Yes, I will do just that.」

「...... Now then, it’s time for you to move on. Are you ready?」

「Yes, I'm ready. Thank you for everything.」

「Don't mention it. Just stay healthy and take care of yourself out there.」

While I was listening to God's words, I suddenly felt as if my body was melting away.

Next thing I noticed, I was right in the middle of a dark and dense forest.

Alright, body check time. My body...... Yes, it moved freely alright. There was no pain accompanying any kind of movement. So it seemed that my body was indeed healthy. Although there was not a single mirror in sight, just by looking at my arms and legs I was able to see that I had become younger. Was I in my early twenties now? No, would late teens be a more appropriate description? Anyway, there did not seem to be a problem with my body whatsoever.

As for my clothes...... I was wearing clothes that I was not familiar with. Wearing some rough coat and pants, I looked pretty much like your standard villager that appeared in fantasy games. As for my underwear...... It was a pair of boxers bound by a string. Anyways, having those things on me surely was nicer than being dead. Now I wonder...... Was that all part of that "Beginner’s Kit" that God told me about earlier?

Next, I tried summoning the "All-Purpose Farming Tool" to my side. And sure enough, a hoe appeared in the grasp of my hand.

Dear God, thank you very much. Speaking of which, I have completely forgotten to even ask God what his actual name was. Without that, I don’t even know who to pray to in order to show my gratitude. Oh well, I guess that feeling of gratitude is what’s important here. So once again, dear God: thank you for everything that you have done for me.

I stood up and had a look around my surroundings.

I was in a dense forest. Looking ahead of me and behind me, all I could see was a dense forest. Same thing with looking to my left and right. There was nothing but a dense forest there.

While it was true that I was hoping to be transported to a place with as few people as possible, it would seem that this place was entirely devoid of people altogether.
