About this ebook

Unexpectedly summoned to the world of Aletia from modern-day Japan, Hiro Oguro soon discovers this isn’t his first visit. As the legendary Hero King Mars, he once ruled battlefields, conquered nations, and founded the continent-spanning Grantzian Empire before giving up all memories of his hard-won glory to return home to his old life. Now he’s back, a thousand years after he left, and his legacy is in peril. The Grantzian Empire creaks under a warmonger’s rule while ambitious royals squabble for power and foreign nations sharpen their swords. After a chance encounter with Princess Elizabeth von Grantz draws him into a cutthroat struggle for imperial succession, Hiro must don the mantle of the War God once more. Can he live up to his own legend now that Aletia needs him again?

Ratings and reviews

extremely confusing start if not for the description I would be at a loss for what's going on for quite a while but other than that it was pretty good it's just I spent so long confused going back to see what I was missing that I didn't make any progress until I read the description so personal bias brings it down for me

Probably the most well written light novel I've read. The word choice is phenomenal, there are no grammar or translation errors, and the story is great too.

It's honestly a great story. It's not really your typical isekai. It has a depth like you're just barely scratching the surface, but you can't see what's beneath. I feel like this will be a great ride.
