This is a fan translation of 东京软饭王 The original author is 夜幕下的鬼 Please support them! === Reborn in Tokyo. No talent, no morals—he just wants to lie down and do nothing. But unfortunately… he’s broke. There’s no way he’s going to stomach a job. He has to find a way to start living off a woman—now. Since no elegant, wealthy sugar mama is willing to take him in… then the next best thing is to find a future rich woman with potential, raise her right, boost her affection, and then cash in when the time is right! This is Kuroba Akira’s original, time-tested strategy for living the lazy life: The Future Sugar Mama Investment Method. As long as he can carefully manage the rise and fall of affection levels, and maintain the delicate balance between all the “boats” he’s sailing... Then a lifetime of mooching off women is just around the corner! Our motto: “Lie down. Rot. Mooch forever!” ... Breaking news:Renowned entrepreneur and investor Kuroba Akira, who has been missing, has finally been rescued. Several of the main perpetrators turned out to be women with whom he shared… ambiguous relationships dating back to his student years. Now, let’s take a look at the moment Mr. Kuroba was rescued: “Why... I scammed so much money off you girls, how is your affection level not dropping, but actually going up?!” Thanks to Mr. Kuroba’s sacrifice, we’ve learned two important lessons: The affection market is fundamentally unpredictable. Living off women always comes with a price. Also… this is a harem story, but beware: the women are not right in the head.

Chen Wei is a burned-out, middle-aged man who took a night janitor job because it was the only thing left that asked nothing of him. No interviews. No explanations. Just a mop and an empty building and the voicemails from his daughter he never answers. For eight months, that was enough. Then a woman named Director Zhao steps out of an elevator at 3:17 AM and tells him his real contract started tonight. His first assignment: Floor 47. Someone left a god in the breakroom again. The mop, it turns out, is not a mop. It's an RST-7 — a Reality Stabilization Tool — disguised because nobody questions a janitor. And Chen Wei has just been hired by the Cleanup Committee, an organization that has existed since the first god made the first mess. They don't govern. They don't intervene. They just clean. The gods are real. They're also exhausted, forgotten, and prone to flooding office buildings with grief. They don't need someone to fight them. They need someone to sit with them. To witness them. To stay. Chen Wei is very good at staying. He's been staying away from his daughter for eight years. It's the only skill he has left. What follows is not a power fantasy. Chen Wei will never be the strongest. He will never master a forbidden technique or unlock a hidden bloodline. He will level up by losing things — memories, feelings, pieces of himself — one cleanup at a time. But somewhere between a hearth god throwing pots in an empty apartment, a war god fighting a battle that ended before this world began, and an exhausted creator who just needs someone to tell him it's okay to stop — Chen Wei starts to understand something. Presence is harder than power. Staying is harder than winning. And the most dangerous thing in the universe might be a middle-aged man with a mop who has nothing left to lose. His daughter is still calling. One day, he'll answer.

With only one hour left before the world ends, what can a person who has spent his entire life locked inside a small room possibly do… ? Fight! Not against fate—but against the only thing that ever trapped him there. Something that cannot be seen nor reasoned with. Only endured. And yet, even at the end of the world, nothing changes. Most people rush outside, chasing their final moments. But he, he doesn't. He stays. Alone. The story should have ended here. Instead, he finds himself at an empty cafe. Well… almost empty. Behind the counter, a barista polishes glasses as if the world isn’t about to disappear in forty minutes.

Dumped into the Barrens—a wasteland where the empires exile their trash—Chris expected a classic isekai cheat: magic, a system, a legendary weapon. Instead, a bored god gave him a sack of enchanted soil, 180 versatile seeds, and a single mocking line: "Grow whatever you want. Entertain me." No stats. No starter gear. Just dirt that spreads fertility and plants that hear his voice. Survival starts brutal: starving beasts, scorching heat, bandits who rip up his first fragile sprouts for fun. But every seed he plants learns. Vines remember grudges. Trees strategize. A small World Tree stretches roots for miles, listening to the world. What begins as a desperate patch of green becomes a living fortress. Bandits fall to thorn and blade. Adventurers seek miracles. Empires send armies. Even demon generals take notice. He never wanted to rule. He just refused to die quietly. Now the Barrens bloom—and the old gods are starting to regret their amusement. Slow-burn survival farming → sentient plant defenses → rising empire-building isekai. If you enjoy strategic growth, living weapons with personality, and an MC who turns weakness into dominance, dig in.

People always say, control your emotions, don’t be weak, don’t do this, don’t do that—but you know what? F*ck all that. This story isn’t about perfection or pretending to be strong—it’s about being real. The characters in this world don’t have all the answers; they stumble, they fight, they break, and still, they keep moving. Just like us. I want the readers to feel that—every joy, every heartbreak, every spark of anger and desire. I want you to walk beside them through the Land of Eirs, to bleed when they bleed, to rise when they rise. Because this isn’t just their story—it’s a reminder that no matter how heavy life gets, we keep moving. Always.

I’m ten years old—and a reincarnated person. After jumping through time, I’ve ended up living in a perfectly ordinary neighborhood in the Hidden Leaf Village. I’m single, attend the Ninja Academy, and make sure I’m home by 6:00 PM every day. I don’t smoke, I’m not interested in alcohol, and my favorite drink is Fat Otaku Sparkling Water. At the Academy, I do well in theory and hold my own in physical training. I go to bed at exactly 9:00 PM and always get a full eight hours of sleep. Before bed, I do twenty minutes of yoga to relax. Once my head hits the pillow, I’m out cold until morning. I sleep soundly, free from fatigue or stress. According to the doctors, I’m completely normal. Of course, I’m telling you all this just to make one thing clear— I don’t have any grand ambitions. After traveling through time, my only goal is to stay alive. I don’t dream of becoming Hokage. I don’t want to compete with prodigies or get involved in destiny nonsense. I don’t want pink eyes, nor do I want to be some “child of prophecy.” All I want is to live as a normal Konoha civil servant—filing paperwork in the archives, counting kunai in the equipment department, living a calm, plant-like life. Then one day, retire peacefully and collect my pension. That’s the life I, Hiroki Sawada, aspire to. … Ding Dong~ [Completing update, please don’t turn off your computer.

The world is no longer collapsing - it already fell five centuries ago. After the Era of Annihilation, cities became graveyards of rusted steel. Black forests tore through highways, and mutated creatures roam everywhere. V is just an orphan living on the edge of a small settlement - working for scraps of food, keeping his head down, avoiding trouble. He is not a hero. He has no special powers. No chosen bloodline. Yet the forces that once shattered the world are beginning to stir again. Dragged into the vortex of warring factions, V finds himself caught in a conflict far beyond his control. Every choice he makes could pull the world toward rebirth... -or drive it into a second annihilation. In an era where the past has never truly died, can an ordinary person change the fate of an entire planet?

One afternoon that marked the end of the chapter, a man stands on the edge of confession. For years he had carried the words like stones at the bottom of an ocean. The words are not common, but of love too fragile to speak, too dangerous to risk shattering the quiet friendship they share. "Tomorrow" was what he always told himself. But tomorrow finally caught up to the last today. Now, the time when they will no longer come across each other has arrived; time presses like a tide. To speak what he has held for so long now feels as if it is a gamble for everything: the comfort of what exists against the uncertainty of what might be. And again, to stay silent is to inherit a lifetime of "what if," a regret that will scream louder with every passing year. Now caught in the dilemma between two equal griefs, one sharp and immediate that will end soon and the other slow and endless that will hurt him forever, he must decide. Will the words finally surface today? Or will they drown forever in the floor of the ocean, full of words unspoken, taking a piece of him with them? A haunting meditation on courage, cowardice, and the unbearable weight of unsaid things, The Tomorrow That Never Came captures the exquisite pain of loving in silence and the even greater pain of letting silence win.

An ordinary cultivator - that was the best way to describe Zhao Yunxiao. Be it in terms of strength or talent, he had always been in the middle of the pack, neither excelling nor falling behind. However, he did not really think badly of his current situation. Some people were destined to become the stars in the skies, while some people were born to be like the rocks on the ground. The stars might be dazzling, but the rocks supported the earth itself. Both of them were necessary in order to maintain the balance of this world. As someone ordinary, Zhao Yunxiao did his best to live his ordinary life to the fullest. He was careful and meticulous, doing his best to make sure he understands everything fully instead of jumping into doing things. He knew his limits and did not dream of anything out of reach. Instead, all he wished for was to live a life of freedom. But one day, he realised that something seemed to be amiss. Perhaps he was mistaken all along. Perhaps even the rocks on the ground had their chance to shine under the right circumstances, even if only for the slightest of moments. This is the tale of an ordinary cultivator... until he was no longer ordinary. *** This story will be written for leisure and thus not be locked, but if you are feeling generous and wish to show your appreciation in monetary terms... https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SweatingCloud
