Chopped Down by Fate, Reborn With an ... Axe?!

Haruki Minamiwas just an ordinary high school student living a quiet, lonely life in Kamakura. One rainy evening, a tragic encounter in a dark alley ends everything—or so he thought.

Opening his eyes in the void, Haruki meets a god who offers him a second chance in a new world as an apology for a fatal mistake. Given the option to choose a unique skill, Haruki chooses something no hero ever would:the life of a humble woodcutter.

Reborn in a magical forest far from civilization, Haruki seeks only peace, solitude, and the simple joy of working with his hands. But fate is not so easily ignored...

Strange creatures stir in the woods, ancient ruins whisper of secrets long buried, and the axe he wields may shape not only wood—but the destiny of a world.

Can a man who only wanted to be left alone carve out a quiet life, or will the forest carve out a legend instead?
