― Luke Albert
Gifted by the gods, Luke was granted 『Village Building』 because of his previous life. However, the base of the personality is still the same as it is, mainly to some extent with knowledge-based memories. Also, all characters in the window, such as the status, are set to Japanese.

『TERRITORY CREATION: Village Building』

Depending on the perspective, this is a higher-level version of Hiraku Machio, (Isekai Nonbiri Nouka) or Kidan's (Isekai de Tochi wo Katte Noujou wo Tsukurou.) If we consider the adjustments made by Michio and Kidan as they build things by hand, creating a village is like The Sims & SimCity. If you have points, you can summon everything needed for housing, such as houses, wells, and toilets. In the initial levels, you accumulate 10 points daily (the number of points earned per day increases as the level rises), and as the number of residents in the developed village increases, the daily limit and level rise as well.
Moreover, you can see the villagers' stats and even understand their potential abilities and gifts. Additionally, you can create some of the placed items into other tools, showcasing incredible versatility. Furthermore, you can move the village itself.

Facilities that can be created

There is no construction or hanging time in any of Luke's creations, which all come from his skill with 『Village Building』. In the skill that the gods have given, materials are not a problem even the water source is still unknown where it is from; all that is needed to acquire any creation is the acquisition of points. The greatest power of the skill Luke in the series it can give other people gifts as long the person is part of the village. All the houses built by Luke's creation are indestructible, and for another of his creations, Luke mimics the golem creation of the ancient dwarfs using "Move Facility" to enable them to walk.
