The Arthion Federation claims they want to shelter all life in the cosmos. But reality is unforgiving. Bound by limited resources, they forced a cruel rule upon me when they granted me a second life: only the 'worthy' get to survive. I was deployed to ‘Terranoth’—a backward, medieval world veiled in ignorance. Here, the masses kneel before the absolute power of 'faith', subjugated by a corrupt ruling class that hoards 'magic' for themselves. My mission borders on the impossible. I must prepare this world for the encroaching Crimson Force, a cosmic catastrophe slowly crawling in to consume everything. The catch? The Federation will remain strictly in the shadows. No orbital strikes. No reinforcements. Not until I prove Terranoth has the potential to stand on its own. In a world where power is believed to be a divine birthright, my weapons aren't mythical spells or futuristic laser rifles. My arsenal consists of three things: Knowledge, Technology, and Ideology. I have to carve out a model state from scratch while surrounded by enemies. I must siphon the greatest minds from a rotting empire, and rally peasants who have spent their lives cowering before magic, teaching them to believe in the great equalizer: Gunpowder. My ultimate endgame? To forge a society built on 'Human Rights' and true 'Democracy'. The stakes are astronomical. If I succeed, the Arthion Fleet will descend to shield this world. If I fail, the 'Noah’s Ark Protocol' will be immediately authorized. Only the innocent children will be evacuated. The adults—deemed irredeemable resources—will be left behind to burn with their collapsing civilization. I refuse to watch an old world's ignorance drag it into the abyss. It's time to build a nation capable of surviving the apocalypse.
