Synopsis by Seirei Gensouki

Haruto Amakawa is a young man who died before reuniting with his childhood friend who disappeared five years ago, while Rio is a suburban boy seeking revenge for his mother's murder that took place when he was five. Earth and another world, two people with completely different backgrounds and values. For some reason, the memories and personality of Haruto, who should have died, are revived in Rio's body. While the two are confused by the merging of their personalities, Rio decides to live in this new world.

Along with Haruto's memories, Rio evokes a "special force" and it seems that if he used it well, he could have a better life. Before that, however, Rio encounters an abduction involving a princess from the Bertram kingdom where he lives. After Rio saves her, he receives a scholarship to the Royal Academy, a school for rich and powerful young men. However, as a poor orphan boy in a naming school, this is an extremely despicable place for him.
