If he wanted to boss around, he could do whatever he wanted. I would continue to farm, but if he tried to attack me, then he would not live to see another day. Zhao Hai was a shut-in until he was transmigrated to another world with a farm and taken over the body of a fallen noble. The land that the noble had was one that could not grow anything. He also had a fiance who was the heir to a principality. To make matters even worse, he was talentless in martial arts and magic where he couldn’t even learn both. “So what if I can’t do magic? I have my farm. Let’s see you try and attack me! I’ll let my bugs out to devour all of your military rations! I’ll put pesticides in your water source and grow weeds on your land! Let’s see you try and attack me after that!” “What? You’ll hire assassins to kill me? Try and do that when I’m hiding inside my farmhouse. Once that is over, I’ll rid your country of all your food sources! Your citizens will come after you instead of you coming after me!” The shut-in had a slightly foul personality. This is a story of how he, and his farm, became a nightmare to the people of a world of swords and magic.

Six months later after the first infection, the human population decreased and is larger than it was in the beginning of the first month. Zombies have killed a lot of humans all around the world, making countries extinct, places becoming deserted from humans, and animal species that were categorized as extinct disappeared in the blink of an eye, where dogs and cats have started to become extinct species as the days go by. But, even if the human population has decreased, there’s still hope for a better tomorrow. Chapters will be released later this year.

Extra chapters incoming to make up for hiatus time! Tune in! ....................................................................................................................................... For ten years, Raiten has been bound to the Thunder Tower and made the enslaved guardian of his clan's northern pillar. Once, he dreamed of freedom and fought for a friend he believed in. Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her. The only question that remains is, how will Raiten kill her?

But in a fit of frustration, Kai blurts out, “I wish you were my servant!” The next thing he knows, the wish is granted, binding the goddess to him and zapping them both back to his messy bedroom in Tokyo.

As they navigate their hilariously mismatched lives under the same roof, Kai discovers that having a divine being around is more chaotic than he ever imagined.
