The story follows Van, reincarnated into another world as the fourth son of a Marquis. Gifted with “production magic” at age 8, his ability is widely dismissed as useless. Consequently, Van is deemed unfit for nobility by his father and exiled, appointed as the lord of a remote, nameless village. However, his maligned production magic possesses an extraordinary potential, allowing him to create virtually anything as long as he has the necessary materials.
