Akira Tennou, an unremarkable thirty-five-year-old man, gets hit by a truck on his way home from work and, after a brief experience in some mystical limbo, wakes up in a gloomy forest. This forest is beset by a sinister black mist—his memories of his little sister’s lectures about fantasy novels tell him that it’s probably under an evil curse. He soon encounters one of the forest’s residents: an enormous silver wolf. At first the creature is hostile, but he finds that it’s been corrupted b...

From the Vigilance Corps to the Lightning Nobles to the Sword of Flames, the adults rise up, bound by Ivy's courage.

The king is soon to discover the futility of his quixotic quest, but not before the plot to overthrow the despot gai...

Akira Tennou—an unremarkable thirty-five-year-old janitor—has got a lot to complain about. He was hit by a truck, unintentionally dragged into a hero-summoning spell, and now he’s stuck in some random gloomy forest in a parallel world. And he’s probably afflicted by a dark curse now, if his sister’s beloved fantasy manga are to be believed. The ominous shadows everywhere don’t give him much hope for his new life, especially when they’re also attached to the giant wolf that just snuck up be...

Akira’s starting to get used to life in the parallel world he was unwillingly dragged into, even if it’s not quite what he expected. Instead of hunting dangerous creatures, he keeps befriending them—and forget building shelters or foraging for food: the clay dolls he accidentally brought to life have that covered. With the gross curse no longer causing much trouble, Akira’s biggest problem seems to be that he’s inadvertently made himself entirely redundant!As the seasons change, Ak...

Together, this unlikely pair begins salvaging other people's rubbish in an attempt to turn their lives around!

Post-reincarnation magical powers in tow, Akira Tennou sets off to explore, acquire necessities, and purify the land of its sinister pall. His first priority is, of course, food–which will hopefully include something besides monster meat! Next is shelter, then eventually new clothes and other luxuries. But while Akira is busy excavating a seven-floor mansion out of a mountain, the other human denizens of this new world are engaged in less wholesome pursuits. Unlike Akira’s pacts with the a...
