Wilderness Survival from the Start, But I Build an Empire by Hand

Arthur the Blacksmith, a defeated soldier fleeing the battlefield, escapes to the secluded and peaceful valley with a bow scavenged from a corpse and seven grains of wheat.

The land here is fertile and rich in resources, but danger lurks everywhere. Under the watchful eyes of wolves and brown bears, this blacksmith's son uses the most primitive tools to light the first bonfire, smelt the first batch of iron, and plant the first seed.

He is neither a noble born to greatness nor a chosen hero.

He is simply an ordinary man who wants to survive.

But fate has given him a piece of land, a dying Northern warrior to teach him, and a choice he cannot avoid:

Will he remain hidden in this paradise forever, or venture out into a world of war and injustice to build a new way of life?

From an iron axe small enough to hold in one hand, to a knightly order of two hundred white-cloaked, iron-horned warriors;

from one man's little wooden hut, to an Iris Empire spanning the continent.
