After his death, a Japanese office worker is reborn in another realm as Ars, the newborn heir of the noble Louvent house. The Summerforth Empire, ruled by the Louvents over a modest realm of only a few thousand souls, is a feudal‑like land riddled with social disparity and political unrest. As Ars matures and learns more about his new world, he becomes certain that war is imminent.
Although Ars lacks unmatched might or exceptional sorcery, he possesses Appraisal: a rare ability that lets him instantly discern a person's current skills and hidden talents just by gazing at them. To ready his realm for the looming conflict, Ars vows to recruit the finest individuals he can find, disregarding superficial traits such as ethnicity or class. He seeks out scholars, warriors, and artisans alike, hoping to build a coalition strong enough to withstand the coming storm.
