The Shirone Kingdom summons Zanoba home, saying they need more manpower to weather a recent coup d'etat, but Rudeus doesn't buy it: could it be a trap from the Man-God? He and Roxy travel with Zanoba as protection, only to come face-to-face with the fifth of the Seven Great Powers: Randolph Marianne, the Death God. It'll be hard work to best the Man-God's machinations, especially when Rudeus never quite knows who to trust!

Series Overview: Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he's hit rock-bottom - just as he's hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He's going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!
