After heroically sacrificing his life to save a child, twenty-five-year-old Koichi Suzuki is reincarnated as a young boy named Thor, born into a harsh, new world, thanks to a mysterious god dubbed “Indeed-Missy.” His reward? A unique magical ability that lets him cook up monsters.Nothing comes easy in this cruel world, though. After nearly being sold off to slave traders by his scumbag parents, Thor finds himself orphaned and alone at the age of four, forced to scrape by using sheer grit and his newfound culinary skills.Just as survival feels within reach, he discovers two beastfolk girls on the verge of death. Helping them could spell his own ruin, but for a man who adored all things furry-eared in his past life, there’s only one path forward.“There’s no way I’m abandoning beast ears!”And so begins Thor’s adventure of cooking his way through the dungeon!

LJO–aka Law of Justice Online–is the newest full-dive VRMMORPG to hit the market, and office worker Yuta—or Yuto, as he goes by in the game—is ready to spend his whole vacation immersing himself in the experience. His dream is to become the strongest Tamer, commanding the most powerful monsters, and he’s even willing to shell out the cash to do so! But when he arrives in the world of LJO for the first time, Yuto is shocked to find that the special monster he planned to leave all the fighting to is...a monster dedicated to farming—without a shred of combat ability? Despite it all, Yuto quickly decides that his adventures in this world will involve way less fighting epic battles and way more harvesting plants, as he prepares to take the game at his own pace and with his adorable, trusty companion by his side!

After dying three times and receiving the ignominious “Silver-Haired Pioneer” title, Yuto finds out he’s somehow become the talk of the town. He takes it upon himself to track down whoever is broadcasting his information, only to end up as the target of an angry mob. Thankfully, it seems not everyone sees Yuto as a loser or laughingstock—some players are on his side too. Once that sticky situation is out of the way, Yuto moves on to more important things—raising his guild rank so he can buy a mushroom log. In order to do that, he takes on a trash-collecting quest, during which he stumbles upon a hidden door!What mysteries and adventure lie in wait on the other side?
