[Western Fantasy] [Lord] [Farming and Conquest] [Magical Technology] [Industrial Revolution]

Transmigrated as the exiled son of an earl, Lin En Wolf arrives in the empire's northernmost reaches, the desolate frozen wasteland of Coldfang Territory. The cold is deadly, resources are scarce, and the land faces lethal threats from elves, trolls, and the undead, while the Church of the Winter Goddess bears down on it from within.

In this desperate situation, Lin En awakens the Industrial Technology Tree System. In an era that relies on magic and miracles, he refuses to accept charity from the gods. Instead, he resolves to kindle his own industrial fire with dialectical materialism and scientific knowledge.

Starting with the first crude charcoal kiln, he makes charcoal to withstand the bitter cold. He identifies ore deposits and builds a blast furnace, determined to smelt the first ingot of steel...

The challenges he faces are not merely technical, but also the shackles of the human heart. He must prove to the people bound by outdated ideas that humanity need not kneel and beg for divine favor. With their own hands and wisdom, they can build the future.
