【T/N: Do NOT be tricked by its title, synopsis, and cover image! Not sure why the Author did so, but our protagonist is CAPABLE. The talentless here (in original text it's incompetent, which is even more misleading) means his inability to wield sword or magic. But he's not a shallow lord with dreams of building harem in another world, we'll be saving that for another novel. I don't know if this will be a Harem. I do not know if it'll even have a fully fleshed Romance. The premise is there, and novels like this usually have them, but as of now there is no obvious romance between male and female. In any case I will put both tags and remove them when proven wrong. If you like a rather serious story with intrigue and wholesome characters, give this a try.】

【Reincarnation + No System + Kingdom Building + Slow Burn + Western Fantasy + Sword & Magic + Multiple Races】

Norein York, the son of a border lord, has only one lifelong ambition: to slack off.

Unfortunately, fate has other plans.

He can't use magic. He has no battle aura. After being reincarnated, he didn't even receive the cheat system every other transmigrator seems to get.

His blonde bodyguard hounds him into sword training every day. A white-haired assassin slips into his bed every night. His half-elf maid is constantly worried he'll starve himself to death.

After somehow surviving until eighteen, Norein finally expects to inherit his territory and enjoy the peaceful, lazy life he's always dreamed of.

Instead, his lands become the target of the king, the demon race, and neighboring lords—all at once.

Then one day, a demon with waist-length teal hair and curved horns casually picks up Norein's teacup, sits in his chair, and politely invites him to tea.

"...Tea?"

"Da Hong Pao, the King of Oolong Teas.”

The ancient blood feud between elves and dwarves, the political intrigue between kingdoms, the millennium-old secrets of the continent...

Every imaginable disaster seems determined to land right on his doorstep.

Norein: "...All I wanted was an easy life. Why is that harder than saving the world?"
