The OP Background Character just wants a Quiet Life

authorncreator
After a death as underwhelming as his life--involving a banana peel and stray marble--Kenji Tanaka is reborn into a fantasy RPG world. To his delight, he finds himself as "Bob," a literal background character with a scripted fate to die early in a bandit attack. To Kenji, this is the perfect setup for a peaceful, unremarkable afterlife. His joy is short-lived when a flustered celestial bureaucrat reveals a cosmic clerical error: Bob has been accidentally gifted the Seven Ultimate Skills meant for the prophesied Hero. Now, he possesses power that can reshape reality itself--from infinite inventory and instant Transmission to abilities that make him undetectable and all-knowing. The catch? The actual Hero is a fumbling, hopeless pretty boy who can barely hold a sword. Armed with enough power to solo the Demon Lord before lunch, Bob makes a new destiny: he will use his god-like abilities to ensure his own early retirement. He'll manipulate stock markets from the shadows, build a hidden mansion with his infinite inventory, and use his ultimate stealth to avoid all drama. But when the war he's ignoring starts threatening his favorite bakery and the few simple comforts he's come to love, this background character might have to step out of the shadows--just for a moment--and show the world what true power really looks like.

Plants vs Dungeon

When dungeon gates opened across the world, it became a gold rush. Hunters chased glory. Guilds chased power. Corporations chased profit. Phong Tran awakened as a Level 1 Farmer. No skills. No passives. A broken EXP bar that never moved. So he sold energy drinks instead. Leg warmers. Electrolytes. Power banks. If everyone else was digging for gold, he’d sell the shovels. Then Josh came. University golden boy. Gym-built. Son of a man who could erase problems with a phone call. “Protection fee.” Phong refused. He woke up in a hospital bed, beaten within an inch of death. His aunt and uncle were gone. No bodies. No investigation. No media coverage. Just silence. Then, as if the universe had a sense of humor, his system finally gave him a quest: Plant and harvest 10 potatoes in the dungeon. That’s it. No penalties. No forced missions. No ticking clock. No promise of justice. Just a choice. Phong takes it. The potatoes mutate. Then other plants followed. Chilies spit burning rounds. Sweet potatoes bulk up into blunt-force bruisers. Garlic turns chemical-warfare illegal. Enoki mushrooms rattle like dungeon-grade machine guns. His crops become his frontline. Phong doesn’t want to conquer the dungeon. He wants to build something inside it. A farm. A hearth. A settlement for people tired of being disposable. He won’t let revenge be the only thing he grows. Revenge lit the spark. But it won’t be the only thing he grows. And if the most powerful man in the city comes looking to finish what his son started... He’ll learn something the dungeon already knows. This farm fights back.
