Home/Fantasy/I Asked For a Quiet Life, Not a Crown of Stars

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
All I wanted was a second chance. After losing my love, Lija, in a senseless tragedy back on Earth, a strange, star-dusted letter offered me a new life in the world of Vaidima. My only wish was for a quiet, unremarkable existence where I could tend a garden and remember her in peace. The universe, it seems, has a twisted sense of humor. Now, every mundane act I perform is seen as a divine miracle. When I tried to clear a field for planting, I accidentally carved a new valley through the Zeleny Mountains. When I picked up a pretty, smooth stone for my collection, the terrified locals proclaimed it the 'Orb of Celestial Accord'. I even have a demon lord, dread Duke Volos, who acts as my butler because he saw me swat a fly and thought I was erasing a concept from reality. I play the part of a cheerful airhead, hiding the constant ache in my heart, but it's getting harder. Especially now that I've met her - a kind, brilliant sorceress who reminds me so much of Lija. But the closer we get, the more I realize my quiet new life, and the tragedy of my old one, might be connected in a way that could tear this world apart. How can I protect my new love when my immense power is the very thing that might expose a devastating truth?
