The Wasteland Lord's Guide to Mental Survival

Trapped in a brutal wasteland with a sadistic "Survive" system, all I want is a quick exit—but fate has other plans. Ordered to farm? I roast the seeds. Build a city? I dig my own grave. Find love? I proposition an orc warrior to end me. Yet every suicide attempt backfires spectacularly: the slaves I meant to abandon worship me as their savior, the goblin tinkerer hails me as an engineering deity, and that murderous orc now watches me with unsettling devotion. My territory flourishes, followers multiply, and I'm somehow becoming the most beloved—and reluctant—lord in this godforsaken world.
