Plot During the final years of his life, Hiraku Machio remained confined to a hospital bed with a terminal illness until he finally passed away. Taking pity on the unfair life he lived, a god decides to reincarnate Hiraku in another world where he can live as he pleases. Wanting to try farming in this new life, he is bestowed with an all-in-one "Almighty Farming Tool" that can transform into any useful implement he wishes. Hiraku is then transported to a forest seemingly far from civilization. Here, he plans to build and farm everything from scratch—gradually developing the lifeless area into a thriving new society.
Characters Great Tree Village The first village that was ever built in the Forest of Death.

While starting out on his own, Hiraku is granted the Omnipotent Farming Tool and ends up befriending wolves he named Kuro and Yuki, and the demon spider he named Zabuton, and even accepting humanoid species into his settlement. To some of his confusion, Hiraku ends up with a harem with at least seven wives and children, though some of the elves have children with him solely for continuing their bloodline.
