About This Series

“When a mundane life gives way to a magical inheritance, one man finds himself tasked with restoring more than just a farm.”

“When a mundane life gives way to a magical inheritance, one man finds himself tasked with restoring more than just a farm.”

Matt Miller, an ordinary guy, inherits a magic ring and a dilapidated farm in a mystical fantasy world after his estranged grandfather's death. Stranded and with no way home, his only option is to tackle the quest to "Restore the Farm."

Matt starts as an unexceptional individual, accustomed to a quiet, unremarkable life. He is initially overwhelmed by his new circumstances but possesses an earnest, if sometimes grumbling, determination.

Across the series, Matt's journey is a heartwarming blend of slice-of-life farming, community building, and personal growth. He navigates the challenges of a new world, forming a found-family with a band of sprites and gradually uncovering the deeper mysteries surrounding the land's corrupted magic.
