Puppet Master as Lord? This Is Called the Ethnic Collection Manual

This is a continent watched by gods. On this continent, every newborn has the opportunity to awaken his [ability] and [career]. And these lucky ones are called: Awakened ones. The chance of awakening is less than 1%. As long as you become an awakened person, you will have a direct road to glory and wealth! That power? Money? Beauty? At your fingertips! The youngest son of the Lance family: Claire Lance, was sent to the frontier because he failed to awaken, and went to the deserted land in the northernmost part of the empire to be a little baron. But no one would have thought that this underappreciated waste would turn out to be the most powerful puppet master in the empire! "Give me my own territory?" "What do you mean the northern territory is two or three times the size of other territories?" "What is a territory because it's too remote and no one wants to collect taxes?" "What does it mean to have an awakened person among the aborigines?" "I'll go! I didn't tell you earlier!" Demonic energy invades, the empire decays, and amid internal and external troubles, Claire Lance works hard to transform the desolate land into a paradise! But... Why did the painting style suddenly go astray after changing it? A cute little maid, a blue-haired demi-human, an elf princess, and an empire princess? Why are they all here in my territory? This... Who put these beauties in my territory?
