Josiah lives a pathetic life at a retail job in the suburbs of a dangerous town. One day, he is attacked and murdered on the street.
After his death, Josiah realizes he now lives in the body of a baby from another world. He is now the first son of the emperor and heir to the throne. His bewildered birth happens during a storming of the castle - and his mother, who has fallen victim of a plot, is forced to leave the castle with him and run to a neighboring town.
With the mind of an adult from another world, Josiah quickly masters the world’s art of ‘binding weapons’, becoming a powerful combatant. He rises through the ranks in the kingdom of Bucoa, focusing on his goal of avenging his mother and claiming his birthright - the throne.

Josiah braced his sword and stood up to it. He couldn’t have asked for a better deal himself.
“Come, then. I’ll show you hell.”
