(Western fantasy + struggle for supremacy + lordship + religious order + mild Cthulhu elements)
Lin De transmigrates as Lucius Kane, the second son of a viscount in the Kingdom of Vilan, and is sent by royal decree to a bitterly cold region on the kingdom’s western frontier.
His domain has nothing but rocks and raiders, along with one piece of advice: “Don’t die too soon.”
To stay alive, he invents a religious order and claims that the Arbiter of Rest will protect its followers.
But then, the scales really do move, the god really does answer, and the blindfolded black cloth can see every truth.
From then on, the western frontier has a blindfolded baron.
Mine iron ore, forge fine steel, train militia, feed the god.
From an abandoned pawn on the frontier to a lord ruling over a region, from a sham religious order to a true divine kingdom.
By the time the capital’s envoys finally remember him, the scales in his hands already weigh the fate of the entire western frontier.
