In Ryoumin 0 Nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushu-sama, Dias returns home after decades on the battlefield hoping for peace at last, only to be given a frontier domain that is little more than empty plains. After a lifetime defined by war, he suddenly has to govern a territory with a population of zero and learn how to turn an expanse of grass into a place where people can live. With no experience in civilian rule and no community to rely on yet, Dias must start from absolute scratch and discover what it means to be a lord rather than a soldier.
Just when the frontier seems completely barren, a horned girl named Alna appears and reveals that the plains hold more secrets than Dias first imagined. Her arrival becomes the turning point in his new life, pushing the story beyond simple survival into discovery and the slow, careful work of building a real community. As Dias faces the difficulties of ruling, the franchise follows his effort to transform an empty reward into a home worthy of the people who may one day live there.
