Villagebuilding Stories

Simon Riley only wanted to get back into his apartment. Instead, he stepped into another world. A world of Beastfolk, ancient forests, harsh winters, and a village called Varglen that is slowly dying. The houses are failing. The food is scarce. The water makes people sick. And somehow, before Simon can even figure out where he is, the strongest huntress in the village decides he belongs to her. Armed with nothing but modern engineering knowledge, stubborn determination, and a talent for solving problems, Simon begins rebuilding a village that has forgotten how to thrive. But roads become homes. Homes become families. And somewhere between the people, the laughter, the children, and the woman with golden eyes who refuses to let him go, Simon realizes something terrifying: For the first time in his life... He has found a place to belong.
