Mechanical engineer Silas Reyne awakens as a magicless exile in a ruined territory where a system pays him gold for every living resident.
Episode 1–9English
Silas Reyne, a 29-year-old mechanical engineer, finds himself transplanted into the body of a disgraced noble who commands a devastated border region. Hundreds of inhabitants face starvation while rival houses anticipate a swift collapse. A mysterious mechanism activates, granting Silas one gold coin each day for every person who remains alive, directly tying his accumulating wealth to the population's survival.
Devoid of any magical ability, Silas relies on modern engineering principles to rebuild infrastructure and defenses. He is supported by Ember, a Tier 7 griffin-blood warrior, as they work to secure food and safety for the territory. The noble family that originally banished him monitors these developments from afar, signaling that external pressure will intensify as the domain stabilizes.
