A decorated Air Force pilot, 34 years old, meets an untimely demise—only to awaken in a war-torn fantasy medieval world. Now inhabiting the body of Mechal, the second son of a baron, he finds himself recovering from a near-fatal injury orchestrated by his own elder brother. But while the old Mechal might have been consumed by reckless fury, the new Mechal is different—calculating, patient, and ready to play the long game.

When a rebellion unexpectedly shakes the kingdom, Mechal seizes the opportunity to carve his place in history. With a sharp mind, battlefield tactics, and an understanding of human nature, he navigates the treacherous world of nobility, rising from an overlooked second son to a powerful force. Through cunning strategy and ruthless ambition, he secures victories, earns a title, and claims land of his own—laying the foundation for a rule unlike any other.

But the world of nobility is a den of vipers. Political intrigue, backstabbing aristocrats, kingdom-wide conflicts, and the ever-present shadow of war loom over him. As he builds his domain, he must outmaneuver rivals, forge alliances, and solidify his power—because in this world, only the strong survive.

Inspired by the noble struggles of the Holy Roman Empire, this story weaves war, politics, trade, and ambition into a gripping tale of power and strategy. Watch as an upstart reshapes the fate of a kingdom, one calculated move at a time.

Jean's sudden shift in tone, as if brimming with pride, made Albert relax slightly.

"Well... Compared to other nobles who treat their peasants and serfs like animals, he's definitely better," Albert admitted. He then resumed his jumping exercises and urged Jean to join him.

"Start moving too! If you want to survive, you need stamina."

Meanwhile, Michael, unaware of how Albert and others perceived him, was focused on gathering more soldiers. While having a large army wasn't always advantageous, having too few soldiers was a guaranteed disadvantage. In battles fought with cold steel, the number of soldiers directly influenced survival.

Fortunately, the noble families who had observed Michael's military training spread word of his methods, drawing many to join him. Most knights, lacking resources, could only maintain small contingents of fewer than a hundred soldiers. With limited funds and knowledge, they couldn't dream of systematic training.
