In a world where magic is long but a thing of the distant past, where humans have the potential of harnessing a dormant power within them, called Battle Force…

A man from modern day Earth finds himself suddenly waking up in the body of Norton Lorist, a youth of noble descent that had been exiled from his homeland in the North by his family to Morante City, the capital of the Forde Trade Union on the pretext of pursuing his studies.

Little did he know what would await him when he receives summons from his family years later to return to the Northlands and inherit the position of the family head…

This is the tale of his life before the summons…

This is the tale of his journey northward and the allies he gathers along the way…

This is the tale of his rebuilding his family’s dominion and keeping it safe from other power hungry nobles…

This is the “Tales of the Reincarnated Lord”.

The world ended the same day Julien failed his job interview. Portals tore open the sky, and monsters went on a brutal killing spree until humanity finally awakened powers to fight back. By sheer luck, Julien awakened an SSS-rank skill, the highest tier in existence.There was just one problem: It gave him zero combat stats.[Skill Name: The Infinite Warehouse][Rank: SSS][Type: Administrative-Class / Economic Authority][Description: You have been granted limited administrative access to the Multiversal Supply Chain. You do not own the items within, but are merely the distributor.]With every new level and upgrade, the skill rewards him with impossible new heights of power. It upgrades from basic shop of healing potions to granting him dimensional contracts to summon Mythical beasts, ultimately opening a door for him to conquer the vast multiverse itself.In a collapsing world, the man who controls the supply… controls everything.

I am the sword.

Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one dares take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, no one can take ten steps.
Killing a man amidst a thousand miles, ten steps? Not possible!

I am the sword, the sword is me,
On the path towards heaven, each shall wield their own.
