Arthur, a young man in his twenties, suddenly finds himself inside the world of the novel "The Rise of the Sovereign Sword," a famous story he had been reading in his previous life. He doesn’t understand how he ended up in this world, but he soon discovers that he has been installed as the ruler of a poor and small barony due to a serious misunderstanding—everyone believed he was the illegitimate son of the Duke, a man notorious for his terrible reputation and corrupt deeds.  

Afraid of having his true identity as an impostor exposed, Arthur finds himself in a difficult predicament. 

As he tries to find a solution to his dilemma, he faces daily problems stemming from this world’s extreme backwardness in terms of economy, technology, and governance.
