Old Title: [Slow Life Managing a Territory with the Strongest Gift] I was banished from home with a worthless Gift, but since I can "copy any magic just by seeing it," I developed the frontier and... a legendary village was created! ~Aren't my villagers stronger than a Sword Saint?~

[Simple Synopsis] This is a story about a boy who was exiled with a "worthless Gift" but misunderstands his situation as "This is training!" and, while fending off his father's attempts to hinder him with his ultimate Gift, develops his territory.

[Detailed Synopsis]

"Melkis, our family has no need for someone with a worthless Gift like you!"

In a world where everyone receives a "Gift" at age 15.

Melkis, the eldest son of the Earl of Lordberg's family, was called a prodigy.

However, the Gift Melkis received was [Root Magic], a Gift no one had ever heard of.

"How dare you receive such a worthless Gift! You are banished! I'll give you territory in a frontier village, so go seclude yourself there!"

Thus, Melkis was banished to a frontier village.

There, he encountered the nation's Fourth Princess being attacked by a powerful monster.

When he resolved himself and confronted the monster, Melkis awakened to the true power of [Root Magic]. [Root Magic] was the ultimate Gift, capable of copying any magic he had witnessed, while explosively increasing its power.

"It's strange that my great father couldn't discern the power of my [Root Magic]... Ah, I see, Father banished me to help me stand on my own two feet. This is a trial!"

And so, Melkis's mistaken territory management began.

Meanwhile, a shocking truth came to light in the Lordberg earldom: "The earldom was favored by the Royal Family because the Fourth Princess was in love with Melkis."

Declared, "If you cannot bring Melkis back, your family will be abolished," the earldom sends assassins wielding various magic and super-powerful monsters to crush Melkis's village and retrieve him.

However, Melkis, misunderstanding this as "This is another trial from Father," repels the assassins one after another, copying their magic. And with that power, he further developed his village.

Thus, while the Lordberg earldom walks the path to ruin, Melkis treads the path to glory...
