About the Book
He wanted to be a Wizard. The universe gave him a hoe!
Follow Arnold in this hilarious fantasy adventure as he stubbornly comes to grips with a new reality and tries to change his destiny from that of your typical farmer.
What do you have when you blend a pinch of LitRPG, a touch of farming simulator, a sprinkle of epic fantasy, a dash of Home Alone, and a whole cup of isekai?
You have Arnold Parker’s life.
Accidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer, wakes upon an altar to find himself incarnated into the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his larger twin. He’s not the hero. He’s not the villain. He’s certainly not the chosen one. He’s just a clerical error.
It could be a bad joke, but apparently, it happens so often that there’s a standard procedure for returning clerical errors. So why doesn’t it apply to Arnold?
Now, stuck on a new earth, in a new universe, with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to figure out how to level his farmer class to 100 and gain a second class that doesn’t make him want to beat his head against the wall. There’s just one more problem: farmers don’t gain experience from killing monsters.
Arnold Parker is about to prove that with the right exploit, even a farmer can become a force of nature in this laugh-filled Fantasy LitRPG series with a title so long even we’d rather not type it here.

About the Author
In the ever-expanding universe of LitRPG, few voices feel as grounded and unexpectedly human as Benjamin Kerei’s. A writer with Maori and European roots, Kerei has carved out a place where virtual realms, leveling systems, and chaotic reincarnations collide with dry humor, emotional depth, and an unmistakably New Zealand flavor.
His stories don’t just chart power-ups and loot drops—they ask what it means to belong in a world you never asked to be part of. Whether he’s conjuring cursed crops and reluctant heroes in Oh Great! I Was Reincarnated as a Farmer or unraveling undead antics in Death, Loot & Vampires, Kerei’s works stand out for their fusion of genre-savvy satire and heartfelt character arcs. Readers quickly discover that behind the punchlines lies a thoughtful meditation on identity, perseverance, and finding purpose in the absurd.
