Reincarnated as a Poor Farmer in Another World

In a chaotic world where royal power has collapsed, a small child plays with dirt in a remote, frozen village. His name is Ars. Gifted with extraordinary earth magic, Ars can freely alter soil and terrain-so he puts his ability to work improving farmland and restoring barren fields. What no one knows is that he carries memories from a past life obsessed with city-building games. As he grows older, Ars sets his sights on escaping poverty. Using his own original magic, he begins constructing houses from scratch. He hatches rare magical beasts, clears the dense forest surrounding the village, and revolutionizes trade by building Roman-style roads. Massive defensive walls rise to protect against monsters, and a once-starving farming settlement slowly transforms into a thriving city. But rapid progress attracts unwanted attention. Nobles who see his development as a threat move to crush his ambitions-and Ars is forced into conflict with the powers of the world. Starting with nothing but his magic and ingenuity, a single boy reshapes the land and sets out on an unstoppable path toward unifying the realm. The epic tale of a nation's founding begins with one child and a handful of dirt. [Hanashi Exclusive Bonus Short Story included.]

The impoverished farming village of Barca rose up through the power of Naming. To protect their newly reclaimed land, the young Ars stands against the noble's army with his Earth Magic. After overcoming the crisis through ingenious tactics, the reward awaiting him is an appointment as a knight under the noble house... along with the obligation to make an enormous donation to the Church. Although he has finally been granted territory of his own, Ars immediately finds himself facing a financial crisis. Determined to turn things around, he begins building a true town from the ground up. Making full use of the talented people at his side, he rapidly pushes forward with administrative reforms and the construction of a fortified city. Just as things begin to take shape, however, an order arrives from the head of his liege house, summoning him to war. His first battlefield pits him against the army of a neighboring domain that has illegally occupied contested land. Worse still, the enemy's elite warriors possess the ability to Beastify, transforming into foxes to fight... The curtain rises on a massive campaign to reclaim the territory! Now the lord of a domain of his own, the young Ars unknowingly takes his first step toward unifying the realm.
