Marcus died playing a mobile farming game. Now he's living it.
Reborn as Thane, bastard son of a medieval noble, he discovers that his addiction to "Chronicles Medieval" wasn't wasted time—it was training. When the Emperor demands someone tame the bandit-infested northern borderlands, Thane volunteers for what others see as a death sentence.
But Thane has a secret: every crop planted, every weapon forged, every building constructed unlocks supernatural abilities. In a world where nobles hoard power through bloodlines, Thane will build his own through sweat, steel, and strategy.
The wasteland awaits. The system is active. Time to turn a realm of thorns into an empire of legend.
Shameless author give 5 stars! No face slapping, no harem, no brainless MC. Our protagonist actually uses his brain and makes smart decisions. The civilization-building system is well thought out. Finally, a mature MC who adapts to his new world without being overly righteous or stupidly naive.
