Waking up in a strange new place with no memory of his past life, Kelvin learns that he’s bartered away those very memories in exchange for powerful new abilities during his recent transmigration.

From the Black Knight of the Ancient Castle of Evil Spirits to the demon within the Hidden Cave of the Sage, he revels in the fight against one formidable foe after another. Join this OP adventurer in an exhilarating and epic saga as he and his allies carve their way into the annals of history!

Shortly after Kelvin’s promotion to the coveted position of Rank S adventurer, the militaristic country of Trycen declared war on the entire Eastern Continent. In addition to launching an invasion of its neighboring countries, their infamous Dragon Knight Order is now closing in on Parth, led by Crown Prince Azgrad himself. The only thing standing between this dreadful host of warriors and ancient dragons — exceptionally powerful members of their mighty race — and the City of Peace is the Summoner’s determined companions and allies, who have been given the task of buying time until reinforcements arrive. At the same time, Tristan Faaze, the general of the Magic Knight Order, is hatching a terrible plot within Trycen itself, targeting Shutola, the princess and general of the Black Ops, who weeps for her country’s fate. Come along for the ride as this black-clad Grim Reaper and his battle junkie friends clash with the Demon Lord in the fifth volume of this epic journey!

But what should have been a peaceful visit to satiate his heartfelt cry of “I haven’t had a grain of rice since arriving in this world — I want some rice!!” was, of course, never fated to go smoothly.

Our favorite battle junkie (Kelvin) clashes with the previous Demon Lord (Gustav) in the depths of hell where no light reaches! Upon chasing Serge Flore, one of the Apostles, all the way to Abyssland, Kelvin catches wind of a strange rumor. Namely, the ghost of the previous Demon Lord, Gustav, has been witnessed roaming what remains of his former domain. Kelvin decides to go check it out with Ange, but much to their disappointment, all they find in the ruins of Grebarelka is a golem. Needless to say, they’re quite surprised when they later return with Sera on a visit to her hometown and discover Bell Baal, an Apostle, waiting for them!

The stakes are high, and it’s anyone’s guess as to whether Kelvin will have to make his way through the world without half of the love of his life—or if he will soon be too dead to care.

The climactic battle in Abyssland has finally concluded and our favorite battle junkie, Kelvin, has a new archenemy: DarkMel, the new Goddess of Reincarnation. To defeat her, the party will have to get stronger! Right now, the gang’s path to power lies in the Dragon King’s blessings. Though some of the Dragon Kings are already in the group and the locations of yet others are known, the Wind and Lightning Dragon Kings in particular remain elusive. In order to catch the various Dragon Kings who have scattered throughout the world, Kelvin and his friends set off on their final journey. (Or is it...?) Meanwhile, the remnants of the Apostles are making their own fell moves, from DarkMel destroying the empire of Rizea to plans set up by the fifth seat, “Analyzer” Riold. And at last, the second seat, “Selector,” finally breaks his silence and shows himself...

Even after Kelvin has defeated Gustav in battle, Sera and Bell’s sisterly fight rages on. The two seem equally matched, but once they have revealed all their moves and it seems the end is in sight, an unexpected development occurs! Not long after, Kelvin’s party arrives at the home base of the Apostles of Elearis, a place in Abyssland called the Evil Deity’s Heart.

Now, he swings his sword to get revenge for his previous lord, his wife, and his daughter. At the same time, Kelvin and Melfina face Iris Deramilius, also known as Arbitrator of the First Seat, in the deepest part of the Cradle. On one side is Kelvin, the battle junkie who wants nothing more than to fight powerful opponents, while on the other is Iris, who places blind faith in her goddess, Elearis. Is there any other choice but for them to cross blades?! Come along for the ride as this black-clad Grim Reaper and his friends challenge the Apostles in the twelfth volume of this epic journey!

At last, the final confrontation is upon us. Having finished their preparations, Kelvin’s force musters in Toraj before setting out to take on what could be the final boss! With help from each nation and all the Dragon Kings in tow, Kelvin seems to stand a decent chance with his plan to take down the enemy battleship, the Elpis. But he also has to contend with the final boss, DarkMel, as well as her powerful minions: Tristan, Riold, and “Sachiel.” Tristan seems to have a new trick up his sleeve, while Riold and Sachiel have yet to reveal their true strength! That, and an unknown amount of angel “monsters” accompany other surprises in store. How will Kelvin and his party fare?

Peacetime continues, and Kelvin is just about to go stir crazy when a certain problem falls into his lap—a family problem. Rion wants to go to school, which would drive Kelvin and Gerard absolutely mad with worry and loneliness.

And how will Kelvin and Gerard fare without them?
