The Saga of Lioncourt

Tadashi Tanaka is a typical office worker whose life comes to an abrupt end at the age of forty-one due to cancer. But instead of going to heaven, he finds himself in a world resembling medieval Europe. Much like the Middle Ages, there are no modern conveniences, people eat with their hands, and pigs roam free in the streets. Worst of all, wars between nations are an everyday occurrence. Now, Tadashi Tanaka must live his second life as Varian de Lioncourt. Can an ordinary office worker survive in this cruel world? Varian’s rise to power begins here!

To build a dynasty is to ensure dominion, and war is a means to that end. These are the rules that dictate this world. Tadashi Tanaka was once your average forty-one-year-old corporate Joe, but now, he walks the decidedly uncommon path of his second life as Varian de Lioncourt. Being a son to the Lioncourt name, Varian gains a cruel education under his brutal teacher’s tutelage. Every day he trains so that surviving, fighting, and depriving the enemy of everything become second nature to him. And soon enough, a hostile neighbor's invasion suddenly signals the end of his harsh but peaceful life.

What do we fight for? Whom do we fight for? Every man has his reasons. 41-year-old desk jockey Tadashi Tanaka is reborn as Varian de Lioncourt in another world. Yet his second life as a count’s son can be called anything but ordinary. When Count Lioncourt is away on a royal decree, his longtime enemy Bachelard takes the opportunity to instigate a surprise attack on the Lioncourt territory. At an overwhelming disadvantage, Varian utilizes every means at his disposal to win his first battle and subjugate the enemy forces!

But unbeknownst to him, his very feats spark the flames of a successorship crisis—the one thing the man himself never wanted...

A prideful death is not one in vain. Only by surviving can we be truly proud! Even though the king himself commanded it, the campaign to defeat Count Berget is rapidly becoming a battle to determine Lioncourt’s true successor.
