Home/Comedy/The Eerie Orchard of the Exiled Heir

by john1208·Translated by Novel AI Studio
At the lavish engagement gala of the Hegemony's cruelest nobleman, a calculating spymaster named Zigor executes a desperate gambit: a cursed identity swap. Now trapped in the body of the disgraced groom, Iker, he is instantly banished to the Oiz Spire - an eldritch, mist-draped dungeon where exiles are sent to be devoured. But Zigor approaches his grimdark banishment with chilling logic. If the soil is steeped in monstrous blood, it is highly fertile. Soon, he establishes a thriving, macabre farmstead amidst the eerie fog. He cultivates cherry tomatoes that detonate like shrapnel grenades and grows apples so potent they instantly heal fatal wounds, rendering all traditional alchemy obsolete. Back in the capital, his loyal best friend Nerea secretly manages the black-market sale of his crops, watching the Hegemony’s potion economy utterly collapse. Meanwhile, Zigor adopts a giant, blood-soaked wolf that acts like a needy golden retriever, and the Spire’s terrifying Apex Boss transforms into a tiny, fluffy moth-mascot just to sleep by his cozy hearth. But with the bankrupt Alchemists' Guild dispatching elite inquisitors to eradicate the rogue farmer, can Zigor protect his eerie sanctuary before his true identity - and his unspoken love for Nerea - is exposed?
