Story
Got reincarnated. Turns out my new place is right next to the Demon King’s castle LOL.
Your soul is rescued by a goddess and you’re whisked away to Luna, a ruined world where the Demon King has seized the Gates and left everyone with nothing but scraps.
As a Bounder, a rare being gifted with the power of creation, it falls to you to rebuild what was lost.
Fix up the house, gather allies, tend the fields, and grow your village. Then one night, the monsters suddenly start going wild.
“”This world belongs to us! ♡ My monsters, go on—destroy everything and have fun! ♡””
The Live has begun, and your village is right in the middle of it
Build Up Your Village
Gather materials and craft furniture, structures, and more, with over 30 buildings to construct in all! The more you build, the more villagers arrive, and the stronger you and your village become
Pick Your Hat, Change Your Class
In this world, hats carry the goddess’s power. The hat you wear determines your Class.
From Farmers and Woodcutters to Warriors and Mages, choose from more than 20 Classes and find a playstyle that’s uniquely yours
Team Up with Your Villagers
Give a villager a hat and they find their place in the world. Farmers till the fields and bring in the harvest. Cooks keep the village fed. Sentinels stand guard against the monsters. Set them to work and village life runs itself. Bring them along on your adventures and each one becomes a trusted ally with their own strengths to offer
Build Your Fighting Style with Divine Blessings
Pray at Goddess Statues scattered across the world to receive powerful blessings.
Blessings come in many forms: boosting attack power, boosting recovery speed, adding elemental effects, and more.
Stack multiple blessings together to craft a combat style that’s entirely your own.
Fend Off the Demon King’s ‘Live’!
“”This world belongs to us! ♡””
Your next-door neighbor? Yeah… it’s the Demon King’s castle.
Every time the idol Demon King holds a Live, hordes of frenzied monsters descend on your village.
Team up with your villagers, fortify your defenses, and hold back the waves of monsters threatening your home.
Defeat the powerful bosses standing in your way, and the hidden truth of this world will slowly come to light.
