In the expansive expanse of existence, there exist realms concealed from the awareness of ordinary folk. Rain Weathers, an unremarkable teenager with average looks, physique, and grades, was leading an uneventful life. However, everything took a dramatic turn one fateful day when he found himself plunged into a vivid dream, a dream that unveiled a world beyond imagination — a world teeming with spirits, monsters, and conversing frogs. This was the Spirit Realm. Transformed into a player by the mysterious machinations of the universe, Rain, alongside other chosen individuals, found themselves thrust into a perilous world. They were tasked with navigating their newfound domain, establishing their territories, all while fending off relentless onslaughts from beasts, defending their territories from other races, and making sure to stay alive for another day. NOTE! NO system. NO cheats. NO overpowered MC. NO tragic past or sob story. NO harem. This is more on Kingdom Building, and War. Just an average boy with no special skills who, through hardship and dedication, transforms from a nobody to a conqueror. If this story interests you, give it a try.
"Will this really work?" Rain thought to himself as the Ebizo soldiers led him to the throne room to meet Lord Izumi.
Rain held the 'thing' Lord Izumi wanted most, granting him an audience with him. They couldn't kill him because he possessed the item that could literally save their lives.
Everything happened so fast, and before Rain knew it, he had found himself on his knees inside the throne room, with Lord Izumi's overpowering presence bearing down on him.
"My soldiers said you have what we wanted the most," Lord Izumi's voice boomed.
Rain swallowed hard, his throat dry. "T-that's right."
"And how exactly do you know what we want, boy? Choose your words wisely, for depending on your answer, you might not live to see the next moment."
