The Warlord's Impregnable Pumpkin Patch
By @john1208
Sullka was a painfully shy botanist who preferred plants to people. But after a bizarre cosmic mishap, he wakes up in mid-air, plummeting toward the highest terrace of the Qullu Ziggurat. Worse, he is trapped inside the hulking, heavily tattooed body of Zarutha, the realm's most feared warlord. Terrified of the bloodthirsty dungeon monsters, Sullka stubbornly falls back on the only thing he understands: agriculture. Armed with terrifying warlord strength, he wrestles the floor's dungeon boss - a massive obsidian-horned minotaur - into a makeshift harness to plow the volcanic soil. Soon, the terrifying beast is happily tilling fields and violently defending Sullka's cabbage patch from invading monsters. But while Sullka blushes his way through awkward encounters with a deadly assassin sent to kill him, his cozy farm begins causing global chaos. His magical healing apples are completely bankrupting the world's potion guilds, and his giant pumpkins are being deployed as impenetrable siege shields by a scheming elder. With furious alchemists funding a massive crusade to burn his farm to the ground, can this meek botanist protect his peaceful orchard, or will his agricultural supremacy accidentally conquer the world?
