Upon dying from an illness in the hospital, Takuto finds himself reincarnated in a fantasy world that seems much like the online game where he spent much of his sickbed days. And by his side is the personal game-play and world building assistant he used, Atou. Neither is quite sure if they’re in Eternal Nations or not, but they’re determined to build a new kingdom all the same. They soon find a helpless group of Dark Elves and negotiate them becoming the kingdom’s first subjects, all while King Takuto learns more about the surrounding kingdoms, invests in infrastructure, and manufactures necessities using his mana and abilities.
