Zusammenfassung

When the land was occupied by demons, people had no choice but to flee to the sky. After transmigration, Ricky found that he had become the City Lord of a Sky City. He quickly became familiar with this new world and established a clear direction for survival, which was to resolutely engage in farming (kingdombuilding)! He would farm (kingdombuilding) diligently, develop vigorously, and then gallop through the skies. If anyone disagrees, then launch a great sky battle. Or a war!

Chapter 1Chapter 1, Chapter 2 Defects and Whispers (Combined Chapters)

```

"This is just... thinking about it is so frustrating!"

Sitting in his own room, Rocky had a gloomy expression on his face.

As a transmigrator, he had been in this world for a month now. He went from initial fear to wandering uncertainty, and finally, he slowly adapted to the new environment. Yet no matter what, he could not adapt to this new body.

His new body was named Rocky. It originally belonged to a second-generation rich kid with a substantial family background. The personality was decent too—perhaps not exactly a great person but not too bad either, so his future ought to have been bright.

Unfortunately, the otherwise quite capable Rocky had a fatal flaw: he was a pushover.

This defect was truly terrifying because if you're a pushover, even dogs might bully you!

The Rocky before the transmigration was such a pushover, and to an extent that nobody would believe if told. He actually let someone snatch a Sky City right out of his own hands!

The so-called Sky City is a type of city capable of flight, high above the ground. To clarify this fairy-tale-like notion involves delving into the history of this world.

This world is called Sanibo, meaning 'land blessed by the gods,' a world where both sword and magic, as well as magic technology, are highly developed.

Regrettably, although the world's name sounds idyllic, the gods have shown little to no favor here. Instead, they have mercilessly punished this place.

A hundred years ago, demons invaded from the Different Dimension, seizing two-thirds of the land in an instant. Every race on the land suddenly faced the danger of annihilation, but thankfully, humans then invented Sky City and used this invention to relocate all races to the sky, ushering in the Sky Era.

In the hundred years that followed, people continuously thrived in the sky, hoping that one day they would be able to reclaim the land. The number of Sky Cities grew from the initial one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Nowadays, the amount of Sky Cities in the sky is beyond count.

And Rocky owned one such Sky City!

His Sky City was an inheritance from his father, who was originally a noble from the Mairente Family. Although he left the family after starting his own, with his efforts alone he carved out a medium-sized Sky City with a population of thirty thousand.

However, a few years after giving birth to Rocky, his mother passed away. The loss of his wife left the once valiant and capable father listless and morose. Eventually, he passed away a year ago.

The successive deaths of his parents meant that Rocky, as their only son, naturally inherited his father's Sky City, becoming the lord of an entire city. Everything seemed so wonderful.

But this beauty was only fleeting, as disaster struck not long after.

"Ah... why am I so unlucky..."

Remembering the events that had befallen 'him,' Rocky in his room couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of ruefulness.

The trouble began half a year ago when members of the Mairente Family, the family his father originally belonged to, suddenly appeared. They claimed that as a descendant of the Mairente Family, they hoped he would return to the fold and listed a plethora of benefits that would come with his return.

This should have been a good thing. Even though Rocky didn't understand why his father had left the family, the Mairente Family was a major house after all. He felt that returning to such a family might not be a loss, so he agreed.

But that agreement was a mistake!

He did return to the family, but as soon as he did, Rocky was immediately informed: as a member of the Mairente Family, all assets owned by Rocky... now belonged to the family!

These weren't just empty words. The Mairente Family really did confiscate all his assets, including the medium-sized Sky City with a population of thirty thousand; it was all taken by the Mairente Family.

After taking everything Rocky had, the Mairente Family then suddenly notified him that since his father had left the family, the family council did not recognize his status.

Just like that, he was expelled from the family again!

Of course, when the Mairente Family banished Rocky, they didn't leave him with nothing. Perhaps because they knew they had gone too far, in sending Rocky away they also gave him a small Sky City, one with merely a thousand residents...

Which means, in the course of returning to the family, not only did Rocky not get anything beneficial, but he also lost all his property—it all ended with him still being a city lord, but his Sky City had shrunk from a medium-sized one with a population of thirty thousand to a tiny, rundown city of just a thousand.

Others might feel furious just hearing about such incidents, wouldn't they? For this was clearly robbery!

And even though he knew this was outright robbery, the Rocky before the transmigration had no way of objecting. His weak nature forced him to swallow the insult and bear it until he transmigrated.

After transmigration, Rocky had even less chance to correct the situation; in fact, not only did he have no chance, but he also had to clean up the mess left behind by the 'former him.'

This mess was the Sky City he owned.

The Sky City Rocky now owned was called Thunderhawk City. The name sounded impressive, but it was nothing more than a tiny city with a population of just a thousand, more fitting to be called a village than a city.

Check out my other book as well Lunar:Secret Guardians ******************* "Grey, elemental affinity, zero" The Elder announced the result loudly On hearing this, it was like a bolt of lightning struck Grey, he stood there dumbfounded and just stared at the Elder. Shocked voices could be heard from the people and there was some which were also filled with scorn. Grey stood dazed amidst all the noises without any reactions. One word was constantly reverberating in his head, 'How?'. 'Why, why did this happen to me?' Grey asked himself over and over again **************** Unbeknownst to Grey, something greater lies in wait in his body.... *************** Check out the book, leave a review after reading, and also your powerstones. Hope you enjoy this, and Thanks for reading ^_^ P.S: When I started this book I had zero writing experience, so the first chapters aren't that great, although, my writing quality has improved over time. Also, English isn't my first language, so there are some instances where my choice of words are not good enough for what I'm trying to portray. A heads up, the book will be using a medieval setting. My world building is not the best, but it gets better over time, so bear with me on the early chapters! P.S: Cover art not mine I just edited it. If you're the owner and want me to take it down you can notify me. Other novel: Lunar:Secret Guardians Check it out as well! Discord Server: https://discord.gg/gs68a4ZzaN

After binge reading to chapter 65, I guess I should leave a review. tl;dr: Personally, I enjoy this story very much. If you're a fan of kingdom building stories and enjoy stories that aren't just fast paced action, then you should give it a try! First of all: NO SYSTEM!! I'm so sick of all these cheat system stories, that I'm very glad that there's no annoying system or cheat here. He does find a "treasure" but it doesn't make him OP or give him instant success or anything. The MC still has to think for himself how to best utilize it and everything is dependent on his own hard work. I'm a sucker for kingdom building kind of stories that focus on economics, trade, research and politics. And this story, so far, really fits my taste (I'm open for recommendations if you know novels like that 🙏). There are chapters that just talk about the financial situation and ways to improve the situation or chapters talking about trades, prices and handling negotiations. That's totally my thing but people who want more action will probably get bored. (small spoiler: I think the future chapters will focus more on action, as the MC wants to do mercenary work, hunt demons etc.) I also like the characters so far. Especially the side characters aren't weak or stupid to make the MC look smart or something. They are each capable in their prospective fields without the MC being a wimp and be overly dependent on them. The MC is smart but knows his own shortcomings and is able to ask for advice/help or delegate matters. I like that he isn't someone who always does everything by himself even though he's surrounded by capable people. The translation so far is very good. Except for the name of a mage/researcher of the past that the MC sometimes talks about. The spelling changes almost every time, lol. But the name doesn't come up that often, so it's a small matter. In a few paragraphs, the names are mixed up but in the +60 chapters I read that only happened about 4-5 times, so the overall quality is still very good. As a transmigrator the MC doesn't know much about the world and we learn alongside the MC what the world is like. Slowly getting more and more background information without chapter long info dumps 👌 The language itself is more on the simple side without being overly poetic or elaborate which makes it easy to read even for non-native speakers. The only complaint I have is the lack of descriptions. I still don't even know how the main cast is supposed to look like. I don't remember reading anything about the MC's looks and even Liliya was only described as a young woman with beautiful black hair. How young exactly? is the hair short, long? in a ponytail, braid or left open? what about eye color? is she pretty herself or more average looking?🤷🏾‍♀️ Later he meets a beastman; muscular, over two meters tall. That's it. But if he's a beastman, does he have animal characteristics? But nothings mentioned 🤷🏾‍♀️ Nontheless, I'm really looking forward to future chapters and hope that the updates will be constant
