Synopsis

Contemplating retirement from the underworld to start a new family, seasoned yakuza Kuroda Riku meets his end at the age of forty-one before he could reach a decision.

Upon opening his eyes again, Riku finds that he has been reborn in a medieval world with sword-wielding knights, magical sorcerers, and man-eating monsters. Now, he is brimming with confidence, living as Aelius Eventide, a city guard of Dumanos. Swords, after all, are just long knives, magic is just firearms, and monsters are just wild animals.

This burning confidence is extinguished immediately: Aelius Eventide is a married man and a father of two.

Skilled in combat but an amateur as a family man, he must now learn to become a reliable husband, a loving father, and someone dependable to those around him — a far cry from the unapproachable mobster in his past life.
