After traversing to the end of the Yuan dynasty but just before the start of the Ming dynasty, Lin Yuan originally prepared to follow in the footsteps of his time travelling seniors. Invent tanks, cannons, and steam engines while accepting followers and dominating the world.
However, before he realized it, Lin Yuan's followed by a crowd of impoverished and destitute people——
"Follow after Boss! There will be food to eat!"
"Follow after Boss! No more starvation!"
The goal is to dominate the world, the tragic reality however is more about building and farming.
This is a story about a straight Tom Sue protagonist 'forced' into becoming a male living Buddha.
