Dias finally returns home after decades of war. He’s hailed a hero and promptly rewarded with his own domain…which turns out to be little more than empty plains. Population: zero. Dias, who has only ever known battle, finds himself at a loss. How is he supposed to survive, let alone cultivate his territory into a thriving, prosperous dominion when there’s nothing but grass as far as he can see? Fortunately for Dias, a horned girl by the name of Alna is about to show him there’s more to the plains than meets the eye!
The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects light novels are published under EARTH STAR Entertainment’s EARTH STAR NOVEL label/imprint. The first volume was released in October 2018, and there are 15 volumes as of April 2026. There is a manga by Yumbo.
