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

A week since waking up, Kouji was at the doorstep of his initial dungeon—a deep, ominous cave that went way into the ground. This was his first venture in proving himself.

Teams of adventurers gathered around him, full of expectation. A burly warrior gazed at him uncertainly. "You're seriously going in solo? Even Grade 6 adventurers go in squads."

Kouji smiled. "I don't need to be babysat."

The warrior shrugged. "Your funeral."

Without hesitation, Kouji stepped inside. There was darkness, and he was treated to a system message in his mind.

The moment he walked in, he was greeted by the pungent smell of damp stone. The air stank with the reek of monsters. His vision adjusted to the dim light, and he unsheathed his katana, its smooth blade glinting.

A low growl echoed in the cavern. From the shadows, a pair of red glowing eyes emerged. A goblin, its rough dagger clutched tightly in its clawed hand. It shrieked and attacked him.

Kouji exhaled slowly, his grip tightening. He had fought wars, slain warriors and kings in his past life. A goblin was nothing.

As the beast charged, he asserted control over his power. Gravity surrounding the goblin increased tenfold. The beast screamed as its legs buckled from the weight, unable to move.

He stepped forward one pace and swung his katana. The sword sliced through the goblin's neck effortlessly.

[You have killed Goblin (Level 12). Experience points gained.]

A rush of energy coursed through him. His first kill in this world. The beginning of his ascension.
