[New Life+] Young Again in Another World: Volume 1
Mine - 2018

So, he did what any reasonable person would have done under those circumstances: he sent the girl flying with a kick to the face.It turned out that the girl was indeed God, and she was in a pinch. She urgently needed someone to do some interdimensional Resource smuggling, and Renya fit the bill.His mission: cross the boundary into another world, then chill for a few decades. God would handle the rest.To sweeten the deal, she offered him an eighteen-year-old body and a whole laundry list of ludicrously powerful skills, yet he remained hesitant. Then, she mentioned the food — an exotic world comes with exotic delicacies — and this sealed the deal. The next thing he knew, he was standing in a foreign land, younger, stronger, and more clueless than ever. Will he survive this world? And more importantly, will the world survive him?
