As the lord of Maple Leaf Territory, Rudy had a secret.
He was not from this world, but a reincarnated person from another world.
In his original world, Rudy had been an ordinary person who later died in an accident. Yet when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had been reincarnated as a baby—and had come to another world.
As a border lord, Rudy's family was not particularly wealthy, but they were still nobles, and Rudy was able to grow up healthy because of it. Soon, he discovered that this world was completely different from the one he had once lived in. Its level of civilization was incredibly backward, and everyone worshiped a religion known as the God Emperor Church.
Of course, if that had been all there was to it, Rudy would not have cared. After finally obtaining a second life, he also hoped to live it in peace.
Unfortunately, good times never lasted.
Rudy soon discovered that some people in this world possessed miraculous powers resembling magic. However, these people were hunted down by the God Emperor Church. They viewed anyone with special powers as the minions of Demons. As long as someone displayed such power, the Church would seize them and burn them alive.
Unfortunately, Rudy himself possessed this special power. Once, while he was out playing, he accidentally wandered deep into the forest and encountered a pack of wolves. Facing the starving Wild Wolves before him, Rudy had nearly given up all hope. But just as the pack pounced at him, he suddenly felt a powerful force erupt from within his body, driving all the hungry wolves away.
Although he had barely escaped disaster, Rudy did not let his guard down. He knew that this world was extremely cruel to people like him
