After transmigrating into a book he had just finished reading, Eric found himself cast as the villainous cannon fodder.
The original owner of the body was secretly and wholeheartedly in love with Max, the tribe's strongest warrior, but Max and Michael had grown up together and gradually developed feelings for each other.
The original owner tried every means to obstruct them, was eventually exiled by the tribe, and died a miserable death from hunger and cold that winter.
Many races existed on this continent, and he was not even human.
Eric looked at the piece of grilled meat before him, burnt black as charcoal, and a handful of beans so hard they felt like they could chip his teeth. He looked up at the thatched roof that leaked rain in the summer and let snow through in the winter. Behind him, a small lion cub was wailing for food.
Oh, and this little lion cub was also the story's devoted second male lead.
The first step was to improve his life.
What, the beastmen do not know how to farm?
No problem, they can learn. Then they would not have to starve during the winter.
Thatched huts, mud houses, and tents could all be replaced! The arrogant Elf race had a strong affinity for plants, which was perfect for farming, and the Dragon race could breathe fire, which was perfect for firing bricks!
Humans called the Fantasy Dream Continent a cursed land. Later, a wandering poet would tell tales of the Snow Wolf Tribe who lived there, possessing all sorts of delicacies and fine, home-brewed wine whose aroma could travel for ten miles, leaving a rich aftertaste.
Once the rumor spread, countless adventuring parties and mercenaries felt compelled to explore the land, even at the risk of being beaten half to death.
Eric utilized the advantages of his bloodline, diligently farming and building infrastructure, leading the tribe toward a better life.
It was just that one day he would pick up a prince of the Human race, and the next, a prince of the Elf race. With a prince of the Beastman Kingdom already in his house, Eric was at his wit's end.
Perhaps I should just build a nation for all of you!
And another thing, you, the main male lead, stop hovering around me!
...
Auther: Please forgive my mistakes, as English is not my first language. I appreciate your understanding!

In his heart, Eric always considered himself a human. Seeing Evan and Arthur with the appearance of teenagers, he felt very close to them.


Even though Evan always acted very maturely, unlike a teenager, Eric treated him as a peer. And because they were in human form, he felt closer to them in his heart. Who would have thought...


Hearing Eric ask this question, the smile on Evan's face also stiffened: "Actually, in our Elf race, my age is not considered very old..."


"Arthur is a Dragon; is he even older?" Eric asked curiously.


"Dragons take a hundred years just to hatch from an egg. Arthur is the youngest on Dragon Island, but he is also several hundred years old." Mentioning the Dragon race, Evan's eyes were full of disdain.


Several hundred years old would be ancestor-level in the beastman tribes, but in the long-lived Elf and Dragon races, several hundred years old was probably just reaching adulthood.
