He meant to buy one pouch of curry.He ordered thirty.His soldiers swore to follow him for life. After working himself to death as a systems engineer, Arvo Halla wants three things from his second life: good food, a warm room, and as little work as possible. Instead, he finds himself in a freezing northern territory, in the body of a noble feared as the “Ice Executioner.” Food and firewood are running out. Even the bread at breakfast is frozen solid. Fortunately, his unique skill, Otherworld Shopping, connects him to NILE, the online store he used in his previous life. Earth's modern conveniences are only an order away. Ready-made meals. Heat packs. A heated table. A cordless vacuum. Arvo wants to make his daily life easier. The people around him see things rather differently. A mistaken bulk order becomes proof of his boundless generosity. Heat packs he found too hot become his knights' sacred flame talismans. A better vacuum cleaner leaves his maid, Suvi, with far more time to fuss over him. His home grows more comfortable. His soldiers grow more devoted. And the girl who once trembled at his voice starts getting closer. He wanted to stay warm and take a nap.Becoming a beloved lord wasn't part of the plan. A lighthearted isekai comedy about otherworld shopping, accidental territory-building, modern conveniences, good food, and a growing romance.
