[Western fantasy + farming + Lovecraftian horror + slow burn + conquest + no System + light novel]
After transmigrating to a Western fantasy world, he becomes a prophet named Kant.
Before he can even learn the secrets of magic and steam-powered civilization,
a decree from the Imperial Court summons Kant and sends him straight to the empire’s poorest northern frontier to reclaim the wilderness!
What gives Kant a headache is this:
Beneath the splendor of civilization and the glow of magic
lies a thoroughly rotten empire!
The Church sings the praises of light, the royalists paint a picture of peace, and the people wander far and wide!
Everywhere he goes,
he’s surrounded by the empire’s unmistakable stench,
as well as the greedy corruption of the nobility
and countless conspiracies!
Worse still,
the pollution of the bygone age is reviving,
unspeakable horrors are watching the empire,
and ruthless, world-ending gods are gazing down from the shadows!
Kant: Wait, the end of the world?
That’s just what I wanted!
This world is such a mess!
Then I’ll smash it all to pieces!
The prophecies say
that the crimson dragon girl will blaze with fury and burn away all sin,
that the mermaid of the deep will raise great waves and wash away all filth,
and that the immortal witch will curse the light and bring everything to ruin!
If the empire is rotten and crumbling, and the world is doomed to collapse,
then Kant will pick up his pen
and write the empire’s final epitaph himself!
The Imperial Family: Where has my princess run off to?
The Demon King of the Abyss: Damn it, give the witch back!
The Old One: Wait, you’re coming after me too?!
“The empire’s destruction and the world’s rebirth are the living’s indictment of you all!”
The creator of a new world, researcher of demi-human girls, ender of the old age, and the Old One among Old Ones: Kant
