Turning My Tiny Village into the Ultimate Fortress Magic Empire

Transported from his world into the body of young Baron Draconis Mylarthel, an interdimensional traveler finds himself on the outskirts of the New York Empire—a post-apocalyptic America where magic rules and monsters emerge from crystalline growths. With only a village called Dodge under his control, he immediately puts his advanced magical knowledge to use, transforming a neutral crystal into the first absolute red crystal this world has ever seen. This achievement grants him not only extraordinary power but also Akai Kiri, a mind-reading fox guardian who becomes his secret ally. Surrounded by suspicious villagers, jealous nobles, and dangerous monsters, the traveler establishes his authority through cunning displays of power and justice. Despite his remote location and limited resources, he sees opportunity where others see only danger. Armed with knowledge centuries ahead of this primitive magical era, he plans to transform this forgotten outpost into the foundation of his own magical empire. But with rival barons already moving against him and powerful counts controlling the surrounding territories, he must quickly build strength and loyalty. No one and nothing will stop him from achieving his ambition and building his own magical empire!
