Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord

A reincarnated Van trains relentlessly until his powerful magic leads his dismayed father to cast him out.

Van arrives to find his new village under attack, so he defends his people, then plans for their future.

Van strengthens village defenses as adventurers uncover signs of a nearby dungeon.

Van's victory is followed by visits from merchants and then an emissary from the neighboring county.

Apkallu appear on the shores of Van's lake and Van gets dragged into a competition with his marriage at stake.
