Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles

Meet Rio: a callous orphaned boy living in the slums. At only 7-years-old, he realizes he’s actually the reincarnation of Haruto Amakawa, a Japanese university student with a tragic past. While still reeling from this shocking epiphany, Rio also comes to learn that he possesses extremely potent magical abilities and uses his new powers to solve the kidnapping case of a little girl. His good deed is acknowledged, and he’s rewarded by being enrolled into… a prestigious academy for noble children...?

A heartwarming journey... with a werefox girl?! After running away from the Kingdom of Beltrum, Rio begins a journey toward his ancestral lands in the east. On his way there, he meets Latifa — a werefox girl enslaved by nobles and trained to become an assassin… and Rio is her target! Rio manages to defeat her in combat, and releases the enchanted collar binding her to her owners. But Latifa, unsure of what to do with her newfound freedom, demands to accompany Rio on his travels. The two meet new friends and foes along the way, with an old foe returning as well…

The secret of Rio's birth is revealed in his parents' hometown! After bidding farewell to his comfortable life in the village of the spirit folk, Rio finally reaches his destination: his parents' homeland, the Yagumo region. He arrives in a small village in the country of Karasuki, where he has a fateful encounter with his paternal grandmother, Yuba, and his older cousin, Ruri. After being told that his parents' past cannot be revealed until just the right moment, Rio decides to remain in the village for the time being, and spends his time devising ways to improve the village's quality of life!

Hidden from view, a past life and a present life collide — and Rio meets a girl as beautiful as spring! After leaving Karasuki, his parents’ homeland, Rio travels to the spirit village where Latifa and the others are waiting. After receiving a fiercely warm welcome from the spirit folk, Rio heads toward the Strahl region to gather information. On the way, he is guided by large pillars of light to save three people nearly captured as slaves... one of whom is Rio's previous life’s — Amakawa Haruto's first love!

The threat approaches Amande—and the boy steps into the center stage once more! After successfully rescuing Celia from her less-than-ideal political marriage, Rio travels to the trade city of Amande to stock up on supplies and gather information about the hero summonings. In order to fulfill Celia's wish of informing her father of her safety, Rio attempts to infiltrate the Claire estate. Meanwhile, on her way back to Amande from attending the wedding, Liselotte runs into unforeseen trouble with Princess Flora and Sakata, the Beltrum hero!

Rio emerges on center stage… and is overwhelmed by a chain of encounters! After discovering Liselotte's party being attacked by a huge swarm of monsters controlled by none other than Reiss, Rio charges into battle. His immense power as he eliminates the enemies one by one leaves everyone present awestruck and intrigued. In search of the next summoned hero, Rio attempts to build a friendly relationship with the nobles, only to stumble upon a certain man, the source of all of his hatred!

In the great city of Amande, after miraculously encountering his nemesis in an all-out battle, Rio attends a banquet and finally obtains information about a person Miharu and the siblings have been searching for: Sumeragi Satsuki. Meanwhile, preoccupied by her suspicions of Rio’s true identity, Miharu approaches a certain someone with a question...

Rio and Miharu’s relationship is getting complicated... With Liselotte’s assistance (after revealing her past life), Rio and Miharu gain an audience with Sumeragi Satsuki ahead of the banquet. Once preparations are complete, Rio and company head to the capital of Galtuuk to finally meet the hero named Satsuki. Miharu and Satsuki are ecstatic to reunite with one another, but the tables turn when Rio discloses his plans for the future... The banquet full of complex emotions begins now!

Rio's identity is finally revealed to the public! Satsuki and Liselotte are shocked by the revelation that Rio is, in fact, Amakawa Haruto. Meanwhile, Miharu confesses that her feelings for her childhood friend haven't changed--much to Rio's chagrin. The situation grows even more complicated with the introduction of a third party!

Rio's quick thinking saves Miharu from Takahisa's envy-fueled rampage just in the nick of time. With Aki having cooperated with the disgraced hero's plan, Masato desperately seeks advice from the others in an attempt to salvage his future. But a trip to Count Claire's estate leaves Rio and Celia face-to-face with an unexpected encounter. Can Rio come out on top once more?

Rio is tasked with escorting Princess Christina and her party to Rodania as they flee from the Beltrum Kingdom's Royal Guard, led by none other than Charles Arbor. Thanks to Sara and the other spirit folk girls, the group steadily puts distance between their pursuers, giving Christina the time to reflect on her past. She is quietly haunted by her inability to apologize to Rio for what occurred during their tenure at the Royal Academy. In the shadows, Reiss pursues Rio on his own, moving his pawns to slowly but surely ensnare him in his net!

Agreeing to escort Princess Christina to the Kingdom of Galarc was one thing... but facing the overwhelming strength of Beltrum's army could've been more than our heroes group bargained for. And yet, thanks to Rio's otherworldly strength, Charles and his army were dealt with swiftly, with the former now captive as Rio's prisoner. But upon their arrival in Galarc, Rio has another challenge to overcome... The hero, Sakata, is waiting for him!

While nothing could have prepared Rio for meeting Nidoll, the eccentric emperor of Proxia, receiving information on Lucius’ whereabouts whisks him off on his way to his next destination. As Rio’s chance to settle the score with his nemesis in the Kingdom of Paladia fast approaches, Christina and Flora are abducted from an airship traveling over Rodania. Coincidentally, the two captive princesses end up in Paladia as well, but will their fates be sealed before Rio can intervene?

A appetite for revenge that has lasted a lifetime is finally sated. After crushing Lucius with his own two hands, Rio takes responsibility for protecting the royal siblings—until an unexpected visitor makes an appearance. “I'm more interested in you than the two princesses.” What will Rio do? Meanwhile, with no news of the whereabouts of his fiancée, Flora, Sakata has his eyes on Liselotte to become his third wife. What will the result of a marriage interview between two prominent kingdoms be?

After successfully escaping an ambush in the Rubia Kingdom, Rio escorts Beltrum's royal sisters to the Galarc Castle, where he is given a place of residence for his repeated achievements. However, an investigation over a series of unsettling, cross-kingdom incidents continues to complicate matters. But in a stunning turn of events, with Princess Charlotte's affections now directed at Rio, will our fateful knight be able to weather the storm of love that is brewing?

One fateful day, a kingdom on the edge of the Strahl region was destroyed by a black-haired saint named Erica. After leading a revolution and becoming the first ruler of the newly formed kingdom, she immediately marched on to the next major nation without so much as a brief respite—all for the sake of her own desires. Meanwhile, after events unfolded in the Galarc Kingdom, Rio decides to return to the Yagumo region to update his friends and family of the outcome of his battle with Lucius. But will an unexpected reunion along the way spell fortune...or disaster?

After a tense verbal standoff, Liselotte Cretia of the Galarc Kingdom is abducted by the sixth hero, the self-proclaimed Saint Erica. With the king's permission, Rio sets off to save her--with the help of her head attendant, Aria. Meanwhile, while in captivity, Liselotte witnesses the current state of the remote nation of the Holy Democratic Republic of Erica with her own eyes. Just who is Saint Erica trying to get revenge on?

In order to rescue Liselotte, Rio leaves the Galarc Kingdom, prompting Reiss and the bloodthirsty Heavenly Lions to strike in the name of revenge. Amidst the chaos inside the castle, the girls left behind organize an opposition with everything they have, sparking a life or death battle. While some strive to prove they don't need Rio's protection, will his friends manage to come out of this conflict in one piece? In response to their strong resolve, a gust of wind blows onto the battlefield!

After emerging victorious from his harrowing battle with Saint Erica, Rio returns to the Galarc Castle amidst the threat from the Beast of the Land and a raid on his mansion! As a result of conspiring circumstances, King Francois personally entrusts Rio to investigate Satsuki’s abilities and become her mentor. Meanwhile, the Saint wastes no time planning her next invasion… “This is my crusade! You have no right to stop me!” Anger, grief, and despair culminate in the climax of the Saint Arc!

After Rio becomes a transcendent one, the cruelty of the world erases him from the memories of the people he loves most. Having suffered the same fate as Rio, Aishia helps him see to Erica’s demise before the two of them set off to find out more about what has happened. Those who have forgotten Rio and Aishia grapple with an overwhelming sense of frustration over this mysterious phenomenon, while something else may be on the horizon... Will the ties of fate that have lasted over a thousand years spark a new wave of war?

Under the weight of the ruthless rules set by god, Rio decides to risk using an armed intervention to help his friends. However, in the midst of this mystery of memories, Sora—his new, remarkably devoted disciple—is the only one who remembers him. Or is she? Celia unexpectedly finds herself regaining her memories of Rio and sets off to help him uncover the truth behind this unsettling turn of events. Meanwhile, in the Galarc Castle, a familiar face appears to Miharu... The gears of fate left by Lina the Seven Wise God begin turning!

Rio and Sora journey to the site of Saint Erica’s summoning to find clues about the transcendent rules. As Rio walks in the Saint’s footsteps, more questions arise about the power that the heroes wield. Meanwhile, the four heroes gather at the Galarc Castle, but Sendo Takahisa refuses to train with the others and sets out on his own lonely path to repair his relationship with Miharu. After all, she’s forgiven Aki... So why not him? Will the actions of one pining hero distort the very fabric of the world itself?

In the Holy City Tonerico, Rio and Sora continue their search for information while exploring the labyrinth. After vanquishing an army of monsters, they return to the surface, where a child wearing white robes calls out to them. The child introduces herself as Eru and tries her best to get close to them, but what are her true motives? Meanwhile, after fleeing from Galarc Castle, Sendo Takahisa finds himself lost in the red-light district, where a prostitute tries to sway him into becoming one of her customers. At the end of a foolhardy fight, a harsh fate awaits...

Sendo Takahisa has slipped out of the clutches of death, though his actions have not gone unnoticed; the flames of hell rising from the slums have caught the attention of everyone at the Galarc Castle. And yet, danger has seemed to find its way to them, too—in the form of an overwhelmingly powerful golem, summoned by none other than Reiss! Only Aishia can stand up to such a formidable foe as the others watch on in fear. But there is one who remains calm—she even smiles. “It’s time to fix the divergent futures.” The forgotten hero returns to the battlefield!

Thanks to the barrier created by the Wise God Lina, Rio is finally reconnected with those he cares about most. But while everyone else is celebrating, Lina possesses Miharu’s body and approaches Rio with crucial advice. However, her suggestion is something he could never agree to... Meanwhile, after agonizing over the future of the Restoration, Duke Huguenot makes a plan to bring Rio into their organization. What fate awaits the thoughtless, arrogant fools who incurred the wrath of a dragon?
