After his grandparents—the last of his family—pass away, Kariya finds himself free to discover what awaits outside the harsh confines of his remote mountain village. However, beyond its borders lies a world embroiled in the fires of war, and Kariya is conscripted into the army before he can take his first step toward freedom. It doesn’t take him long to realize the truth: this world is a near carbon copy of a game he played in his previous life. When his identity as a reincarnated player comes to light, Kariya is tasked with a perilous mission to escort Wald, a handsome prince disguised as his twin sister the princess, safely through enemy territory and back to the royal capital. But Kariya isn’t the only one who knows the secret of this world—and having the combat proficiency of a common NPC won’t keep anyone safe. Armed only with player foresight and the skills of an S-tier craftsman, he’ll need every ounce of cunning he can muster to turn the tides of battle and bring his prince home.Suggested 12+

Item Master Kariya’s daring escape from a fallen stronghold throws him and his liege, Prince Wald, behind enemy lines and into the vast stretches of wilderness of the Northern Bloc. Now, they must find their way home from enemy territory...but they find their options fading fast as Khrasiel zeroes in on them. Soon, their only choice will be to venture into the Grand Weald, the legendary land of the elves. However, the elves are notoriously reclusive—and famously hostile toward transmigrators. Will this truly open a path back to the kingdom of Tiuccia, or will they simply be jumping from the frying pan into the fire? Meanwhile, Wald blossoms into his own as he treads the path toward adulthood, and Kariya finds himself fighting with forbidden feelings for his liege...
