Todo Arata, a corporate drone salaryman, died due to a mistake from god.
He was reincarnated in another world as an apology, and received the special perks ‘a strong body that won't get sick or hurt’, and ‘the ability to copy skills and magic just by seeing them’.... more>>

And so, the place where Arata was reincarnated turned out to be a place where races known as the strongest, that appeared in legends and myths, lived. Races like divine beasts, high elves, demon gods, ancient dragons, true ancestral vampires, and more.

This would normally be a dangerous place, but the body given to Arata by god was stronger than even the strongest races, meaning this danger was of no concern to him.

A giant boar was downed in one punch, and turned into a tasty prey, and an ancient dragon's breath felt pleasant. There was nothing that could hurt that invincible body.

And so, Arata, along with the girl and the so-called strongest species he met on the island, eats tasty food, makes a lot of ruckus, and relaxes while enjoying this second chance at life given to him by god. <<less

Qiao Wan has always understood that she is the substitute for Mu Xiaoxiao, the younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, whom they found as a replacement after Mu Xiaoxiao passed away.

Despite how others said she wasn’t as brave, adorable, or smart as Mu Xiaoxiao, Qiao Wan didn’t mind that her own worth was erased. She doubled her efforts, hoping not to disappoint the expectations of her sect.

One day, the dearly beloved and long-gone Mu Xiaoxiao, the true younger martial sister of the Kunshan Sect, returned, reclaiming everything that belonged to her.

As the stand-in for ‘White Moonlight’, the counterfeit Qiao Wan felt embarrassed, indignant, emotionally broken down, she angrily flipped the table and ‘left the mountain’, declaring that she wouldn’t continue this substitute role.

For so many years, she had been living for others. Now, Qiao Wan just wanted to live her life in a dignified manner for once, and not to forget, to crush those foolish people who tried to manipulate her.

Patient B: I am a poisonous mushroom. My spores are highly toxic and can be parasitic. I gave birth to hundreds of thousands of microspores, which made it worse for my already poor family. Dr. Lu helped me practice family planning when he came. This great kindness will forever be remembered!

[Hey guys, I’ve seriously awakened this time.... more>>

So, I awakened as a summoner recently, and my summoned creature is an orc, you know? But this guy is ridiculously sturdy.

Already wiped out a few lizardmen strongholds nearby, and soon I’ll probably absorb another orc tribe. Oh, got another summon as a new addition. This time it’s a slime, and they say it’s an incredibly rare one. Abilities are top-notch, lol.]

[Make some sense, will ya? What? The orc single-handedly taking down dozens of goblins and trolls?]

[This guy’s aggro is insane. It’s not a one or two-time thing. Was a bit quiet lately, but sure enough, he’s back.]

[Seems like he woke up in a dream. I had a dream yesterday where I awakened as a swordmaster and went around cutting down demon spawns.]

“Hmm.”

Taehyung scrolled down, reading all the comments, and nodded satisfactorily.

“Well done.”

This is the story of how a recently awakened hunter becomes a lord without leaving his room. <<less

"Uh......"

Jin-hee rubbed her habitually dry eyes.

Then, putting down her spoon with a clank, she said.

"So from now on, I'm going to quit my job and make some money as a hunter. Oh, and tonight's dinner is the worst. I don't think putting pork belly and bracken in fish cake soup is the way to go."
"......Doesn't it seem like a health food?"
"You'll get sick eating it."
