A salaryman is reincarnated to an alternate world as two year old noble Van Ney Fertio. He quickly learns that elemental magical power is highly valued and his father Marquis Jalpa expects Van to gain fire magic, as his brothers already wield elemental magic. Van's sudden increase in intelligence amazes his maid Till, so the butler Esparda becomes his tutor. At four years old, Till teaches him how to use a sword and by five, Van is capable of dueling older trainee knights. Commander Dee is impressed and begins formally training him. By six, Van is recognized as a genius. Van witnesses a man selling his abused son Khamsin into slavery, so with help from Rosalie of the Mary Chamber of Commerce, Van buys Khamsin as a servant. Van reaches eight years old and has his magic appraised. Jalpa is furious that Van only has Production Magic, which can create objects from available materials. Jalpa decides to execute Van to avoid the shame, but Murcia, one of Van's brothers, convinces Jalpa to make Van the lord of a nameless, undeveloped village in the mountains. Esparda retires as Jalpa's butler so he can accompany Van and continue his education. Likewise, Khamsin, Till, Dee, and knights Arb and Law insist on going with Van. Everyone learns of Van's departure even though Jalpa intended to keep it a secret. | ||||||

As Van learns how to use Production Magic, he finds the village under attack by bandits. The adventurer guards refuse to do anything except protect Van. Van volunteers to charge a carriage at the bandits, and the others reluctantly let him. Amazed that a noble would risk himself for commoners, the adventurer Ortho convinces the others to join the battle with Dee, Arb and Law, Esparda, Van, and Khamsin. Most of the bandits are killed along with their leader while the survivors are captured. As most of the adventurers already have other work scheduled, they depart, but Ortho and his party decide to stay. Van introduces himself to the village chief Ronda and discovers the village inside the wall is mostly empty space with several run down houses and 100 villagers, who are doubtful of him. Convincing them that he is there to help, Van immediately drops taxes from 30% to 10% and has Esparda erect a temporary earth wall to deter bandits so they can set up defenses later. Van begins practicing with Production Magic and discovers a way of knitting wood fibers together into material as strong as nanofiber. No one understands his explanation, but are amazed that his new wood blocks can’t be damaged. He also experiments with metal, making a katana for Khamsin and a huge axe for the disappointed Till. Confident in his abilities, Van produces a mansion in seconds, giving the villagers real hope. | ||||||

|
After creating his mansion, Van produces improved wooden houses for everybody with plans to modify them to each family's requirements once he can replace the wood with stone, though Ortho gets competitive with Dee over gathering lumber. He also produces a public bath house with the help of Purriel and Khamsin, though Dee embarrasses Van while bathing. The next day, everyone cooperates to construct a canal to divert the river and provide unlimited fresh water. As a precaution against droughts, Van also constructs a giant lake. Nearby, a carriage containing Lady Panamera and the younger Lady Arut approaches the village during the night. The following day, Van turns the temporary earth wall into vast walls of concrete with massive ballistae against bandit attacks. Next, Van decides to figure out how the village can make money without relying on him to produce sellable goods. While having Khamsin and Till test out their weapons, Ortho discovers that the mountains nearby contain iron, gold, silver, and even mithril, which Van uses to create new weapons for Ortho's party. With ores just lying on the ground, Esparda believes that there is an undiscovered dungeon, and if it is on Van's lands, the village would quickly become a dungeon town and very wealthy. It also makes them vulnerable to attack from other nations, or even from Van's father, who might seize the village for himself and force Van to move. The adventurers agree not to search for the dungeon until the village is ready. Armored Lizard monsters approach, and while the villagers panic, Van rallies them to trust in their new walls. | ||||||

The villagers prepare for battle against the lizard monsters, but Dee warns Van that there are forty of them and are hard to take down. The ballistae weapons are surprisingly effective against the lizards despite their tough armor. Upon running out of metal bolts, Van advises them to use the wooden bolts, which also prove effective. After all the lizards are slain, the villagers harvest them for their meat and materials. They have a feast at night. Ortho, his party, Arb, and Law all offer to buy the weapons that Van made. Van also learns how much the lizard meat and materials will sell, but he fears that selling them will alert his father. Esparda suggests selling them to Murcia so to reduce their chances of attracting unwanted attention. Traveling merchants Bell and Rango arrive at the village and buy the lizard meat and materials from Van, along with the weapons that he made. To avoid drawing attention, Van has them set up a shop in the village. Panamera and Arut arrive at the village and are wary of it as Van continues his plan to convert the town into a fortress town. Upon meeting Panamera and Arut, Van correctly deducts that they're here to judge if he is an ally or enemy. Van also explains where he came from and demonstrates his Production Magic. Panamera reveals that Arut's father sent Arut here to arrange a marriage between her and Van, but they aren't sure about it yet. They also decide to stay in Van's village. Van also deducts that Arut was exiled from her hometown. | ||||||
| 5 | "A Rare Species' Passionate Engagement Competition" | TBA | TBA | TBA | February 7, 2026 | |

Van is woken up by Till and Khamsin, who bring him to the village's lake where the other villagers are. In the lake is an apkallu, a rare being that is half-fish and half-human. Unable to communicate with her, Van lures her over with meat so they can interact. She returns with more of her kind upon learning that Van defeated the lizard monsters, and her father, the leader of the apkallus, requests for Van to marry his daughter, whose name is Lada Priora. Van asks why, and the apkallu leader explains that the lizards have been threatening his kind in the past and desires to have his daughter get engaged with a strong human so his people will be kept safe. Van turns down the marriage and instead will provide homes for them in his village while also allowing Lada to marry whoever she chooses. The apkallus also help keep the lake clean. When Panamera and Arut arrive, a misunderstanding occurs when Lada claims that she is Van's wife, as she still wishes to marry him. Later, Van speaks to Arut alone until Lada and some young apkallus interrupt them, causing Van to accidentally upset Lada and her father, who decides to hold a competition to see whom Van will marry, with all of Van's allies agreeing to take part in it. Van provides them with bathing suits. They start with a water volleyball match, which ends with the apkallus' team winning. The next event is a relay race in the lake, which Dee wins at. The last event involves eating shaved ice in record time, with Arut choosing to take part in this event. Van's team wins, but Lada and her father do not call off the engagement despite this loss. Arut then recalls her past. The next day, Arut starts developing feelings for Van. Meanwhile, Ortho and his party are being chased by something. | ||||||
| 6 | "Slaying a Dangerous Forest Dragon with Large Ballistae" | TBA | TBA | TBA | February 14, 2026 | |
|
After finishing all the village ramparts, Panamera is left amazed, especially with the ballistae that Van made. Khamsin does a demonstration with one of the ballistae to show how powerful they are. Panamera wants to buy one, but Van says that they aren't for sale; however, she asks to return a favor in exchange for a ballistae instead, which Van agrees. Khamsin also demonstrates the strength of Van's swords by using one to destroy Panamera's, as they are made from the same material as the ballistae, which persuades her to also obtain some of the ballistae bolts. Van sees Ortho and his party still on the run from their pursuer, a large forest dragon. Though Ortho intends to lure it away, Van wants to fight it instead, with Panamera also aiding him. As Till takes Arut to safety, Van prepares the ballistae to fire as Panamera attacks the dragon with her fire magic, allowing Ortho's group to get to safety. Unable to take the dragon down, they escape to the village. Esparda holds back the dragon with his Earth magic to buy them more time, though he is unable to run, prompting Khamsin to accompany him. As Van forms a plan with Panamera, Dee, Arb, and Law go to fight the dragon, but are no match for it. Van's plan weakens the dragon, allowing Dee to kill it by slicing off its head. As Van decides to upgrade the ballistae, he, Dee, and Esparda are given full credit for killing the dragon. Panamera's backstory is revealed during this. She then forms a firm alliance with Van. | ||||||
