I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic

Liam knew he needed to leave the nest if he wanted to avoid sinking with the rest of his ruin-bound family, but he never thought all his humble efforts would lead to...founding his own country at the behest of the first princess?! Befuddling as this all is, with a plethora of unique monster races and ever-reliable familiars by his side, Liam awkwardly, but earnestly, carves his path to becoming the king of the promised land. And although their peaceful little country-building endeavor might run into some unforeseen obstacles, Liam's passion for magic never betrays him-because while the challenges he's facing grow in scale, so does his skill and expertise in anything and everything magic!

After overcoming their first war, Liam's reputation as Monster King spreads far and wide across the land, even sparking the interest of the grand and influential organization known as the church. The esteemed archbishop's spontaneous visit and a problematic prince's delegation bring a new set of problems, but not even politics and diplomacy can divert Liam's attention from his passionate pursuit of magic. The surrounding human nations can only watch in bewilderment as Liam charges straight through the murky trenches of nation-building with the help of his loyal subjects, his trusty dragon partner, and of course, his bottomless creativity for magic and spells. From producing specialty goods to shaping terrain to even manipulating time-there's never a dull moment when Liam's still hungry for magic!

The Duchy of Parta is desperate to make amends for their traitorous transgression. Watching the human nations flounder about is nothing new to Liam, and dealing with them is just business as usual, but there are stars in Liam's eyes the moment he learns about the "necromantic magic" in their possession-the power to subordinate dead souls! Liam and the Duchy of Parta soon find a quick path to reconciliation, but what could have been a simple diplomatic exchange is soon shrouded in an ominous fog as conspiracy brews in the neighboring duchy. Liam realizes this might be more serious than he thought, especially when he hears that two foreboding words are being passed in hushed voices within the grand duke's abode: "Dragon Slayer." Whatever it means, it couldn't be good for him or the three ancient dragons now living in the city!

From averting the crisis of his noble family to setting his nation of monsters on the right track, Liams journey has had its fair share of ups and downs, but its all proved to be very worthwhile. His wealth of experience has begun to inspire the awe and respect of the surrounding nations, and it even has his father knocking on his doorstep with a certain curious request! Each day in the nation of monsters passes peacefully and vibrantly thanks to their powerful king and his ingenious magic inventions. However, such power can sometimes bring unforeseen consequences. When a sudden earthshaking disaster strikes the land one night, can Liam rely on his pool of knowledge and experience to protect his citizens?

What's a guy to do when his life suddenly changes while innocently enjoying a nice, cold drink after work? And I mean really changes. This middle-aged commoner now finds himself in the body of Liam Hamilton, the young son of a noble house teetering on the brink of collapse. Between his fervidly desperate father and his utterly apathetic brothers, the only bright side to his new situation is that Liam can finally try learning magic like he's always wanted. Little does he know his hobby of choice may be about to turn his life upside-down yet again! Will Liam be able to master the craft of magic? And will it be enough to save him from the shadow looming over his family...?
