Synopsis
of Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord: Production Magic Turns a
Nameless Village into the Strongest Fortified City
Van, the
fourth son of a powerful nobleman, is only two years old when he recalls his
past life as a salaryman in Japan. With his adult brain in a child's body, he
is considered a prodigy... until he displays the skill of "Production
Magic" on his eighth birthday. In a family that favors offensive magic,
this creation skill is considered useless in battle, and Van is banished to
oversee a small, disgraced rural village. With only his personal maid, the
memories of his past life, and his "useless" magic, can Van improve
the fortunes of this small village... and his own?
