Western Fantasy: Your Majesty, I Really Haven’t Hidden Any Witches

[Farming + Lighthearted Comedy + Western Fantasy + Multiple Races + No System + Rising Territory]

After transmigrating to the Orlen Empire, Ian Windsor became the second son of an earl.

His stepmother and half-brother framed him together, stripping him of his inheritance and banishing him to the dreaded Blackstone Territory, a place everyone called the Land of Death.

He had no overwhelming magic and no System cheat. His only trump cards were modern engineering and management ideas from his old world.

The frozen wasteland was full of dangers: marauding bandits appeared frequently, nomadic orcs watched hungrily, and the Temple hunted down people with unusual aether resonance. During his escape, Ian happened upon Sylvie, a girl with a powerful affinity for plants who was being pursued by the Church, and saved her.

In the eyes of others, Blackstone Territory was a graveyard of exile, a place no one ever returned from.

But to Ian, with his engineer's mind, it was fertile ground for a new venture.

He repaired and renovated the dilapidated castle, improved the poor soil with compost, and gradually built up a smelting workshop. His subordinates were a colorful bunch: a timid but hardworking veteran, a hotheaded youth obsessed with making a name for himself, a guard who considered food more important than anything, and an old retainer who clung to noble etiquette and was constantly losing his composure. Then there was the resonance girl whose abilities often went haywire, causing all sorts of ridiculous little problems for the territory.

Meanwhile, his younger brother in the distant royal capital kept plotting against him from afar, convinced his schemes were flawless, only to have them spectacularly backfire every time.

The crises never stopped, but neither did the laughs.

Watch Ian build up the infrastructure, recruit workers, and solve one problem after another in this bitterly cold wasteland, transforming a desolate place everyone despised into a thriving haven, one step at a time.
