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.

One noble, whose second son served in the Special Task Force, spoke gently.

"We are willing to defer rewards for our own men. Given the uncertain outcome of the war, it may be better to finalize their compensation afterward. Their contributions will be recorded regardless. However, those who voluntarily joined from the Lania Kingdom should receive fitting rewards to encourage their continued support."

Henry's dilemma was clear. What was the point of rewards when the war was far from over? Lands left unclaimed or ravaged by the Empire's forces were not practical grants. Nobles who sent their second sons to the Task Force did so with the expectation of securing proper fiefs post-war.

In contrast, compensating the participants from Lania was more straightforward. Narrowing his eyes, Henry posed a direct question.

"Are there any among the Lania participants who wish to remain in our kingdom?"
