## Synopsis

Possessing memories of being born, raised and died in a country called Japan... the young boy Hercule was born in the imperial household of a declining empire. This empire that once was a superpower that reigned over the world... is now a country nearing its end. The public finances were on bankruptcy, the military strength declined to the point that barbarians could wreak havoc on their territories and the neighboring countries squeezed the Empire for tribute payments every year. And the young Hercule is forced to take over this empire!

"*Huh!? I can't run away!?*"

"*You can't.*"

Thus, the 12-year-old Hercule ascends to the throne. Using the knowledge from his previous life, Hercule struggles to rebuild the empire... reforming the tax system, revolutionize the industry, reorganizing the public finances, rebuilding the administration, and reforming the military system. This will later be known as the story of the young emperor who restored the Lemurian empire, which would later carve its name in history as the great monarch of the three continents, the "*Divine Light Emperor*" Hercule the First.

Emperor of the Lemurian Empire. I was born with political and military talent. In addition, a powerful person who is contracted with the great spirit of Muma. Severe is a character, but a person with the ability even an enemy general is a deep bosom to be used there is a difference. The unclean salaryman of my past life in Japan I have a memory (other world Knowledge).

### Abilities

Hercule can make a strategy to perform and obtain victory before the battle even begins by utilizing tools like diplomacy or logistics. He's famous for pulling off one of the greatest surprise attacks and tactics in history even disposition in commanding armies, Hercule can improve the ability of her army during group battles because of his previous life, he knows and can able to apply it to rebuild a city or even battle. During the Battle of Personia, he executed an unparalleled form of surprise attack; however, it had been a fluke being one great battle that overturned strategic defeat into tactical victory, but that fight had been a desperation on his part.

 If he had to point out a flaw, it was the necessity of forming a contract. The content of this contract differed from individual to individual, but the one thing they had in common was the requirement of magic power. Hence when creating the same phenomenon, Magecraft consumed less magic power than spirit arts. Hercule can fight in one-on-one combat even in war, he was trained at an early age in Lemurian Martial arts. Lemurian Martial arts are specialized in speed and mental focus in combat.

Hercule Magic drives in Inheritance magic. This magic was transferred from one person to another and the owner could designate the inheritor. Unlike bloodline and innate magics, inherited magics were one of a kind. Hercule’s 『***Imperator***』. This magic had been inherited by generation after generation of Lemurian Emperors; it was the proof of legitimate imperial succession. The effect of this magic was having psychological domination over the Lemurian Empire.

Because of this, spirit arts were highly valued. To a degree, they were useful for weather forecasts, agriculture, and fishing as well. It was thanks to spirit arts that Lemuria became a great power. “The innate magic is just plain old 「Body Enhancement」. It’s nothing compared to your magic. The contracted spirit is also not battle-oriented.” Even magic with the same effect had different ranks; Hercule’s 「*Body Enhancement*」 was very common.
