Lord of the Gray Marsh: Rise Through Biological Engineering

[Territory Building, Biological Engineering, Continental Warfare, Religious Reformation, Slow-Paced]

In a world of supernatural power, can an individual truly rise above their social class through martial prowess alone?

No. Supernatural power only builds even stronger barriers between classes.

Here, nobles monopolize supernatural bloodlines through intermarriage, while priests monopolize the faithful through divine magic.

Yet just when rulers believe their dominion will endure forever, change inevitably comes.

Veylin, a biologist with a doctorate, happens to transmigrate into this world-and happens to bind himself to a Bloodline Engineering System.

From beetles to dragons, from vines to the World Tree, from the Bloodless to the Sacred Remains Bloodline.

He will begin as a frontier lord,

Treading over the corpses of the greedy and bathing in the blood of the arrogant.

Leading a band of impoverished, defiant, righteous "lesser folk,"

He will awaken bloodlines, develop his territory, expand his borders, establish an independent nation, overthrow tyranny, and dismantle theocracy-one step at a time.
