Taking this chance to do what he loves now that his real body is slowly giving in to his old age and the profession he lives for is no longer as important as it used to be, he starts his journey to become this new world’s greatest Craftsman!


Spending My Retirement In A Game was the first time I really discovered writing as a passion. While it is quite rough for exactly that reason, I also do think that it has a sort of purity of joy filling it that I am still working on rediscovering to this day.

SmRiaG was the story that started my career as a writer back in 2019, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunities that it provided me with. Though I am no longer writing this story, I am glad that it exists in my history as a writer.

In this story, the main character strives to continue doing the thing he loves most. It follows themes of passion, responsibility, and familial love.
