Building from the Ground Up, Starting with Mushrooms

[Graduate school is too painful. This story will probably be abandoned...]

[Plot Synopsis]

The God of Light has fallen, and the God of Darkness now rules this continent, plunging it into eternal night. Atling, the last king of Motriel, uses a forbidden spell to try to summon the spirits of his ancestors for help. But why does the one who appears wear rabbit pajamas and look like a young girl???

Margarita: Infrastructure development? I'm a pro! Need manpower? No problem, I'll round some up!

This is the story of a max-level infrastructure expert returning to the continent of Scagilino and summoning players to help a complete newbie build things, while also bringing her husband, who died many years ago, back to life.

[Romance Synopsis]

"You ask why I don't accept their confessions?"

Margarita gestured toward a vase beside her to make her point. "I once loved a vase like this. It was unique and exquisite. One day, it shattered into many pieces.

"Every shard belonged to that vase, but I couldn't fall in love with the shards, because I would always love that one unique vase alone."

This is a story about a fake harem heroine who, in reality, is loved by only one person from beginning to end. With that love in her heart, she will embark on an endless journey of infrastructure development and resurrection.

[Game Synopsis]

"Shocking! Scagilino 2.0 is live, with an open beta that won't wipe player data!" Is this an old game cashing in on nostalgia, or has it fixed its old technical bugs and returned to the top of the full-dive online game rankings?

Player 1: The soil in the game is polluted, so we can't grow anything? Easy, let's use hydroponics!

Player 2: Why are all the players black-haired and black-eyed? Why can't we customize our faces? I'm willing to pay for cosmetic items. Let me spend money on this game!

Player 3: I think I've invented the steam engine. Help, Blue Star technology can really be recreated in this game!!!

Then people were amazed to discover that in Motriel, which the God of Darkness had razed to the ground, a group of strange half-demons were risking their lives to fight the demon race. Their mushroom harvest could circle the continent, and they'd even invented an artificial sun?!!

This is the story of Motriel's infrastructure development, its revival, and its journey toward prosperity.

[Please note:

1. One-on-one romance, two male leads. The male lead in the plot is Atling, the heroine's great-grandson. The male lead in the romance is merely a carrot to motivate the heroine's infrastructure development, a background character.

2. Companion story: "Infrastructure Development Begins with Pineapple Buns." It shares the same Western fantasy setting, but adds an element of the Fourth Calamity: the players think the other world is a game and are summoned there to work on infrastructure.

3. Don't think too deeply about the infrastructure methods. The author is terrible at this! A Fourth Calamity story will inevitably summon all kinds of player side characters, but I still want to try writing a large ensemble cast.]

Theme: Work together to build a home.
