Premise

edit

The story begins when Tsubasa Kurata, a software engineer and hardcore mecha otaku from Japan dies in a car accident. He is later reborn in the fantastical Fremmevilla Kingdom, a medieval world where giant, powerful mechs called Silhouette Knights are used to fight against horrifying creatures called Demon Beasts.

Here, Kurata is reborn as Ernesti "Eru" Echavalier, the son of a noble family. Blessed with exceptional magical abilities and the memories of his past life, he enrolls at the Royal Laihiala Academy, an elite magic school where the pilots of the Silhouette Knights called Knight Runners are being trained to battle threats both from within and outside the kingdom. He later teams up with Adeltrud "Addy" Olter and her twin brother, Archid "Kid" Olter with the goal of piloting a Silhouette Knight of his own creation, something that has been unheard of for centuries.
