Just as they begin to feel an indescribable affinity for one another, the two are dragged into strange paranormal phenomena as they secretly run about…

When I went there after being told that “Alex, an S-class adventurer, would be fine!” …… I found that there was not even a village or a house around it, and it’s beyond of what you call the countryside, because it was a land inhabited by monsters.

The land was deserted, with farming tools left unattended, and there was a monster that I had never seen before, and when I managed to defeat it, I acquired the “s*ave Release” skill.

I was told that if I used this skill, it would summon one person of the opposite s*x, who is ens*aved somewhere in the world, to me.

I thought it would be better for the world if I used this skill, and I activated it immediately, and a beautiful elf girl appeared.

After that, a girl with architecture skill, a princess from a foreign country who was a prisoner …… and I kept freeing people who were ens*aved, and before I knew it, a country was formed and I was treated like a king. <<less

After dying of an illness at a young age, I found myself in a game called ［Kagetsu Kaidan］.... more>>
