### Status:

Active

Born the son of a lord in a turbulent time, Luke was given the useless gift of "*village building*" as a blessing at the age of 12. Not only that, his position was completely reversed when his half-brother was given the "*Sword Sacred Technique*," and Luke was banished to an uncivilized land.

Luke arrives in a barren wilderness, where the mysterious gift of "village building" is activated, and in no time at all a village is established. From now on, he would live a small life in this small village. That's what I thought. As the number of villagers increased, the level of the gift increased and the "village building" evolved.

Before I knew it, it had turned into the most powerful "*village*" with high-rise buildings and the world's greatest military power. No, this isn't a village anymore, is it? Where is my slow life...?"
