Li Kaile, who had just won the "iron rice bowl" in his previous life, died in an unexpected disaster in an instant. When he opened his eyes again, he became Kane West, a young lord at the edge of the Black Forest, the most barren frontier of the Orion Empire.
There is no golden finger, no magic affinity, just a mind from the 21st century that has received complete compulsory education, and the pragmatism and calculation of grassroots civil servants in the previous life. This is a story about knowledge, machinations and unyielding will - in the dark age when magic was declining and knights were in power, how an ordinary person used his brain to fight for a glimmer of life for his territory in a desperate situation.
Starting from chewing barren mud, how will he use modern knowledge and thinking to ignite a glimmer of survival in this "dusty land" forgotten by the empire and coveted by foreign races? Faced with the roaring goblin plunder, the war cries of the orcs, and the cold faces of the imperial tax collectors, "Dust Lord" Kane West's struggle for survival began in the haze at the edge of the black forest.
This is a story about knowledge, machinations and unyielding will - in the dark age when magic failed and steel was rampant, how an ordinary person used his brain to fight for a glimmer of life for his territory in a desperate situation.
