A universal system, a voice, a blank patch of nothing and the nerve to call it a kingdom someday.See, people built some wild things here. Abyssal Underwater Civilizations. Cloud empires. Cities inside trees so massive they have their own weather systems. Floating eldritch continents that only seek conquests and horrors. And much more.Genuinely breathtaking stuff.But mine tops them all.The ones that came before me are history. The ones that came after me are comparisons. And the ones that tried to surpass me?Good stories. Tragic endings.Want to see how that happened? Then get onboard. It's a wild ride.#Kingdom Building. #Strong/OP Growth MC. #No-Harem. #Progression Fantasy. #Summons.------[ Discord: https://discord.gg/MSM9Gp3Jxz ]
