Lord of the Wasteland

Born a commoner, he rose into the ranks of the powerful through one hard-won victory after another. But unfamiliar with the schemes of court, he was repeatedly sidelined. The rewards that should have been his vanished without a trace, and the territory he finally received was nothing but a barren, uninhabited wilderness. Only when he set foot on that wasteland did he realize that countless long-buried secrets lay beneath its soil. Setting out alone, gathering talented followers, and clearing new land, he gradually transformed the desolate wilderness into a prosperous city that flourished under the gaze of every nation.
