A young man dies and awakens in a new world, reincarnated into the fragile body of a half-elf infant. Before he can even be accepted by the elves, a mysterious system speaks to him and gives him an impossible task: advance the declining elven civilization and restore its lost glory. The elves once ruled a vast forest and were second only to dragons in their command of mana. Now they cling to a tiny fragment of land, trapped by outdated traditions and rigid beliefs.

Because the sudden knowledge he possesses would be suspicious, he claims that the World Tree, the sacred mother of the elves, has granted him its guidance. To survive, he must make the elves believe this. His mission demands that he reclaim the ancient forest, rebuild a society that has forgotten its own potential, and protect a people who are too proud and too stubborn to accept change.

Before he can teach them anything, he must save them. Hungry orc tribes raid the shrinking borders, and the elves lack the basic means to channel mana in ways worthy of their heritage. They are talented, gifted by nature, yet locked in old rituals and fearful of innovation. The reincarnated young man must use his system, his modern knowledge, and his human creativity to reshape elven traditions, introduce new magic and technology, and convince his people that change is not betrayal.

The forest needs to be reclaimed. The elves need to evolve. And a boy with the memories of another world must carry a burden too large for any living being, all while pretending that every step he takes comes from the will of the World Tree itself that the elves worship.

Author’s Note:

Before you begin reading, I want to share something with you. English is not my first language and my understanding of it is very basic, so I use AI to help refine the grammar and make the writing smoother. The ideas, characters, and story are still mine. The AI only helps me express them more clearly.

This novel is completely free. You do not need to buy any chapters and you do not need to worry about spending money. Since this is my first time writing a story and learning how to use AI to fix my mistakes, I want readers to enjoy it without feeling cheated or disappointed.

I am not saying my novel is bad. I am very proud of the story I am creating and I love building this world. I simply want to share my vision of a kingdom building novel with all of you. I hope you enjoy the journey and thank you for giving my story a chance.
