The Skill Orchard

In a world of soaring swords and legendary sects, one man cultivates quietly among cucumbers.



Ash, a nameless recluse living in a forgotten village, wants no fame, no fortune—just peace, edible vegetables, and maybe a body strong enough to open jars without groaning. But when a mysterious, logic-bending system called the Skill Orchard sprouts in his mind, everything changes… slowly. And with a lot of carrots.



The Skill Orchard doesn’t grant instant power. It rewards creativity, effort, and a strange sense of humor. Cooking the right meal might strengthen his bones. Yelling at a tomato might awaken its soul. And swinging a hoe in just the right mood? That might create a skill strong enough to fight spirit beasts. Eventually.



As Ash stumbles through farming, odd encounters, and baffling chicken attacks, his quiet life begins to ripple through the cultivation world—without him ever leaving his garden.



Slice-of-life meets subtle overpowered progression in a cultivation novel where strength grows one weird, wonderful skill at a time.
