REBORN TO MASTER BLADE NOVEL SC (2025)

On his deathbed, a hero king who lived his life for his kingdom and people wishes that in his next life, he will be free to focus on mastering swordsmanship. A goddess answers his call, and he is reincarnated many years in the future. But following his reincarnation, the old king is now...a cute girl?!

A reborn beauty is already turning heads at school! The old Hero-King Inglis was thrown far into the future, reborn as a beautiful girl. Now, together with Rafinha, her lifelong friend, and Leone, an aspiring knight the two met on their journey to the capital, Inglis studies the ways of war at the royal knights' academy-where she's turning heads with her battle prowess more than for her looks! School life isn't all about making new friends, though, as she hears rumors of a Rune-Eater that targets knights... "A Rune-Eater, huh. Sounds fun. I bet it's pretty tough." This extraordinary squire marches on through fun with friends and all the fights she could ask for!

Inglis and her friends decide to protect Ripple at the academy until the problem of her attracting magicite beasts is solved. As the academy's elite are gathered, Inglis makes the acquaintance of a young man who's the only current student with a special-class Rune and a Runeless girl who shows exceptional strength. Inglis is already feeling great as the number of strong people around her continues to increase, and when she hears of a Steelblood plot to assault the palace, that same excited grin is back on her face. "Seems like I'll get to put my all into a fight for the first time in a while!" Inglis meets challenges head-on with strength and elegance-dressed as a maid this time! Her legend of power and beauty continues into its third act!

With the hieral menace Ripple now safe and the school in a reconstruction phase, Inglis-former hero-king and current talk of the town-is summoned by the king himself to the palace, where she's offered a promotion to captain of the Royal Guard! This leap up the ranks is as unconventional as it would be desirable to almost anyone else, but Inglis turns it down as a matter of course, preferring to someday fight on the front lines. This means turning down a celebration feast at the palace, but an eccentric man named Count Weismar is more than pleased to make a deal: they be his new pair of leading ladies in exchange for food. "Sorry, but I'm worried about Rani. I've gotta be somewhere I can keep an eye on her." A beautiful dancer wipes out her foes in this fourth act!

Inglis, once a hero-king and now a beautiful squire-in-training, is on a dangerous infiltration mission to avoid an all-out war with the snowy northern country of Alcard. As Alcard's Prince Lahti leads the way, Inglis's sword arm and stomach alike call out for a northern tour of engaging fights and delicious food. But with Alcard under the oppressive rule of a hieral menace named Tiffanyer, Inglis is faced with her greatest enemy-hunger! "You know, Rani, when I get mad about something, I get really mad." The wild north stirs before her!

In her pursuit of a feisty hieral menace, Inglis happens upon the ancient dragon she shared a fateful bond with in her previous life. Seeing the fearsome creature inspires in her but a singular thought: 'Dragon meat is supposed to be really tasty.' Inglis is excited for the chance to simultaneously solve Alcard's famine and test her strength against the primal power of an ancient dragon... but some of her past decisions are about to come back to haunt her! Can this fierce clash bring forth new miracles?

The squire's greatsword roars back at the enemy's greatest champion! Reincarnated hero-king Inglis is disappointed when Highland seizes the ancient dragon Fufailbane, her sparring partner and source of food. To make matters worse, Venefic is invading and the rimebound Prismer has revived! Meanwhile, Inglis's friend and cousin Rafinha is torn between finishing up things in Alcard or making sure her brother, a holy knight on the front lines of the war, is safe. Our graceful squire in training intends to turn the tides of war with a greatsword forged from dragon scales!

Bearing Eris's and Ripple's hopes, Inglis prepares herself for a decisive battle against the Prismer! She rushes back to Karelia to get ahead of Rafael's plans to intercept the revived Prismer. Inglis is giddy with excitement over the chance to fight the ultimate adversary, but little does she know of the terrible hardships that await her... Meanwhile, Alcard's snowy expanse heats up amid a struggle for succession between Lahti and his brother. Leone and Liselotte, who want to help, get drawn into an uphill battle against a foe who wields multiple Artifacts to their fullest. Everything comes to a head as the reincarnated hero-king takes on her most worthy opponent in either of her lifetimes!
