A village-building action RPG. Saved by a goddess, you arrive in a ruined world ruled by the Demon King. Gather resources, build your village, swap hats to change classes and give villagers their roles. But one night, the Idol Demon King holds a Live next door…and monsters come pouring in!?
Story
Got reincarnated. Turns out my new place is right next to the Demon King’s castle LOL.
Your soul is rescued by a goddess and you’re whisked away to Luna, a ruined world where the Demon King has seized the Gates and left everyone with nothing but scraps.
As a Bounder, a rare being gifted with the power of creation, it falls to you to rebuild what was lost.Fix up the house, gather allies, tend the fields, and grow your village. Then one night, the monsters suddenly start going wild.
“This world belongs to us! ♡ My monsters, go on—destroy everything and have fun! ♡”
The Live has begun, and your village is right in the middle of it.
