Kouji, the greatest emperor in history, met his end in flames and betrayal. But even death could not claim him. Reincarnated into a world of swords and magic, he is reborn into a society where every person awakens their class at the age of sixteen. When his time comes, he is granted the hidden class “Absolute Command”—a power that allows him to control gravity itself.

Armed with his unmatched tactical mind and the ability to manipulate the weight of everything around him, Kouji sets out to conquer this new world. From lowly dungeons to the strongest adventurers, he will rise once more, wielding his katana with devastating precision.

But he is not the only one with a hidden class. Standing in his path is a rival—an honorable swordsman who possesses the “Swordsman of the Darkness” class, a warrior who seeks battle not out of anger, but for the thrill of the fight.

In a world ruled by levels, rankings, and power, Kouji’s ambition remains unchanged: To stand at the top once more.

The Reincarnated Greatest Emperor In History

The golden light from the crystal still shimmered in the air as Kouji removed his hand. The weight of hundreds of stares pressed against him, but he welcomed it. He was used to such attention, though he suspected the people of this world had never seen an existence like his before.

"A Hidden Class..." someone whispered. "He's going to be a monster."

"Or a legend," another voice countered.

The Grand Awakener took a deep breath and addressed the crowd. "With this power comes great responsibility. Kouji Luthgar, you must train diligently before stepping onto the path of an adventurer."

Kouji smirked. "I have no intention of being weak."

With that, the ceremony continued, but all eyes remained on him. As he left the stage, a noble youth with an arrogant expression blocked his path. "Hmph. You may have lucked out, but don't think a fancy class makes you invincible. Strength is earned, not gifted."

Kouji glanced at him, uninterested. "And yet, here you are, wasting my time with meaningless talk."

The noble clenched his fists, but before he could respond, Kouji walked past him. He had far more important things to do than entertain inferiority.

That night, he stood alone in his family's courtyard, experimenting with his newfound power. He concentrated, and suddenly, his body felt impossibly heavy. The ground beneath his feet cracked. Then, with a thought, the weight vanished. He jumped, and for a brief moment, he floated before landing lightly.

He grinned. This was going to be fun.
