Meet Norton Lorist. He wasn't exactly born into this stuff; he kinda woke up one day, transported smack into the body of some young guy from these noble lands called the North. His family, thinking he was off chasing opportunities (or maybe just getting away?), shipped him off to Morante City, basically the main city hub for something known as the Forde Trade Union.
Fast forward a bit, and years later? He gets that weird call-back thing going, right? Summons from his home turf tell him it's time to return. Little does he know then – or did I just say little does he know too soon? – what kind of doozy awaits him back north. Turns out, inheriting the big family chief seat might not be straightforward magic.
So this whole thing chronicles Norton’s journey *before* that call-back hit, his trip back to the Northlands navigating tricky political waters and new allies, plus figuring out how to rebuild his family's old power base without getting totally crushed by other ambitious nobles trying to muscle in. It all ties into what happens after he gets called back – rebuilding the realm.
It’s “Tales of the Reincarnated Lord” – yeah, that’s the name – basically following a guy stumbling onto ancient powers and having to make his way back home to manage the whole mess left behind. A lot of stuff happening right there!
