The Diary of a Middle-Aged Sage's Carefree Life in Another World (Light Novel) Manga

Forty-year-old Satoshi Osako is a farmer in the Japanese countryside—and a hardcore player of Swords & Sorceries, an online VRRPG. The day he finally manages to defeat the game’s final boss, it curses him with its dying breath and kills him in real life! With a little help from a carefree goddess, Satoshi finds himself reincarnated into a mysterious new world as his in-game character, the incredibly powerful Great Sage known as Zelos Merlin. He accordingly decides to use his newfound powers to...continue living a quiet life on another farm! But first, he’ll have to fight his way out of the vast, dangerous forest he woke up in—thanks a lot, goddess—and it won’t be long before he’s running into bandits, getting roped into teaching a young noble girl magic, and more. Will the almighty Great Sage be able to conquer the toughest quest of all: getting some peace and quiet?

I'll leave it as simple as I can for all of those looking for a rating or summary. I have read a LOT of isekai related manga and light novels but when it comes to Isekai/Slice of life mix ups I tend to find them really... ehhhh, however for the first time in a long time I really enjoyed the slice of life mixed in with this isekai, and I find his outlook really great. without any spoilers heres a summary of what this story is about. but for those that want to take the risk of finding what I write to be a spoiler for you. (even though this is really just based off of the first 2 chapters \_/---\_/) Spoiler Alet now you have no reason to complain. MC comes into a new world through a game (shocker, I know) however the world he is transported to is vastly different from both his original world and the game. In the game players exploring Magic have to completely understand the way magic and mana work, creating their own UNIQUE magic spells consisting of 56(?) letters and 10 numbers, and obviously our MC is a master at spellcraft. However the world he has been transported to is vastly lacking in magical knowledge and ability, our good old MC settles down as a teacher and from what I can tell so far, he seems to be a very good one at that.
