All he wanted was to drive home and speedrun the game before the DLC dropped. Then came the crash, a warm light, and nothing—until he woke up as Wolfgang, a poor knight from a minor noble family in the Holy Roman Empire.

He thought he knew this world. However, once a butterfly flaps its wings, no one can predict where the storm will go; this world doesn't follow the game's script. Nobles plot in the dark, and being the smartest person in the room means nothing when steel decides the argument.

To survive the filth and chaos of medieval life, he has no choice but to lean on a mysterious system that hands him quests, money, and access to a shop packed with skills, manuals, and items he could never have gotten otherwise.

He refuses to just stand by and watch history be written without him.

With modern knowledge, he will use every resource, building a loyal army, amassing wealth, and carving out the strongest empire ever with his own hands.

As he tried to rise and resist, I rotated the halberd diagonally over his head and brought it down with crushing force. It was the Zornhau of halberd technique.


Thanks to his helmet he wasn't reduced to pulp, but the heavy blow to his head was more than enough to knock the escort captain unconscious. In the end, the escort unit's final resistance crumbled to nothing.
