Lord of Flesh and Blood: From Child of an Evil God to Emperor of All Worlds

[Nontraditional Western fantasy + territorial development + Lovecraftian mysteries + flesh-and-blood technological research]

Eddie, a mentally ill man tormented by bizarre hallucinations, transmigrates to a medieval continent corrupted by the influence of the Old Gods.

After becoming the baron of a small town, he discovers that he is apparently the illegitimate son of an ancient god.

In the fields on his land, scarecrows writhe. In the fishing grounds, glowing octopuses sing. His frenzied subjects kneel and beg to sacrifice people to evil gods...

Fortunately, the System teaches him the book From Beginner to Buried: Lovecraftian Infrastructure, which lets him build all kinds of bizarre structures powered by flesh and blood, helping him develop his territory at breakneck speed:

Build flesh farms to ripen crops quickly and overcome the famine.

Research the Devouring Engine to provide stable power and spark an industrial revolution.

Living walls defend themselves against enemies, ghost telegraph machines send messages across a thousand miles, and indestructible gunpowder becomes a ritual offering to summon divine punishment...

Can he restore order and kindle the flame of civilization in this dark, chaotic, maddened world?

[Reader advisory: This novel has a dark, mysterious setting. The protagonist faces a great deal of pressure and hardship, gradually growing stronger through despair. It is not a lighthearted, slice-of-life Western fantasy, nor is it a fast-paced power fantasy!]
