The Exiled Noble Rises as the Holy King: Befriending Fluffy Beasts and a Holy Maiden with My Ultimate Cheat Skill!

Noah used to have it good as the son of a duke. But when the almighty state religion excommunicates him, he’s suddenly tossed into a monster-infested forest in the middle of nowhere! Young an inexperienced, his odds of survival are grim. His only hope is if he can master his unique “Holy King” skill, which gives him the power to recruit monsters and humans alike—and make their skills his own. Thankfully, Noah’s a natural-born leader in the making. He quickly assembles a whole host of fluffy underdog friends, and he’s now determined to build them a safe haven away from civilization. Lying low, however, won’t be easy with the Church of Astral’s best assassin on his trail. The Holy Maiden of Swords is out for blood, and the one thing that might stop her in her tracks is...falling in love at first sight?! In a magical world where nothing is certain, can Noah learn who to trust? Will his curious “Holy King” skill be a gateway to glory or a tragic fall? Find out in this fun-filled adventure!

Noah and his fluffy companions have escaped from the Purgatory Forest at last. As they make their way into civilization, they rescue a young noblewoman named Katarina, who quickly sees that Noah is more than he claims to be. Through Katarina’s patronage, Noah’s party is able to enter the town of Midrogue. But before they can settle in, they’ll have to get new status cards by joining the adventurer’s guild...and any good adventurer should challenge themselves with some quests. Luckily, thanks to Aht’s training, Noah now has enough powerful skills to make quick work of any enemy. Between fighting hordes of undead, thwarting political subterfuge, inadvertently gaining new followers, and reuniting with an old friend, Noah gradually gains more power and influence. But how long will it be before he can settle down safely with his monster family?
