Cairnbrook: A Town Building LitRPG

By SAK

He was handed a class that builds towns. The world only promised him one winter.

Ethan Hale wakes in a forest that is not his own with an axe, a coil of survey cord, and a class he can barely believe: Settlement Steward. No sword. No spell. Just a warm token, a floating ledger, and the cold instruction to house and feed two people before anything else counts.

He is one man with a habit of finishing other people's work. But the valley is full of mouths that need feeding, a brook that floods, a March that is coming, and neighbors who take what a cairn sets aside. Every choice posts to the ledger. Raise a wall, and the palisade holds. Miss a ration, and morale drops. Trust the wrong person at the gate, and someone pays for it after dark.

As the camp becomes a hamlet and the hamlet strains toward a village, Ethan learns the first law of the trade: the numbers are honest, and so are the people who die when you get them wrong. Winter is not the boss. Winter is the deadline.
Level by level, wall by wall, and person by person, Cairnbrook has to survive the season that breaks smaller towns than his.
