No Heroics, Just Coffee

Overpowered cheats? A harem? World-saving heroics? …Take that noise somewhere else.

Renji Soma, forty-two, worked himself to death as a sales manager at a soul-grinding company — and woke up in another world, handed a "god-tier" All-Purpose Creation skill he never asked for. Most men would go and conquer something with it.

Renji just wants a good cup of coffee, a quiet smoke, a book, and to be left alone.

So he settles at the edge of a sleepy frontier village and builds the life he never got to have: roasting beans, curing his own tobacco, cooking slow meals, and losing himself in the small, satisfying craft of camping, farming, smoking, woodwork, leather, pottery — the honest pleasure of making things with his own two hands. No leveling montages. No destined battles. Just steam rising off a fresh brew, and the wry contentment of a man who's finally, finally off the clock.

A quiet, sensory isekai slow-life for anyone who's tired of being busy.
