### **Stepping Into a New World**

Cheng Yan awakes in the body of Roland Wimbledon, 4th Prince of the Kingdom of Graycastle. He wonders what is going on before noticing a woman about to be hanged and an old man asking for his verdict. Cheng Yan is briefly confused when suddenly he realizes he has access to Roland's memories and understands the situation. He postpones the execution and proceeds to his room to gain his bearings. He decides that however this happened doesn't matter, and that he will live this new life the way he wants to.

Roland decides to go to the dungeon and see the woman, who is said to be a witch, for himself. He is amazed at her power and decides to hire her. He teaches her that her power is her own, and not from the Devil, and that she can learn to control it. He also discovers another witch in his territory, Nana, and offers her the same aid in improving her control.

He soon encounters Nightingale, a witch who had sneaked into his territory to recruit Anna and Nana into the Witch Cooperation Association. He is able to convince her to wait until the Months of Demons are over before taking them away, and that she can only take them away if the two of them consent to it. At the same time he would also develop Border Town using his engineering knowledge. He re-invented the Steam engine and Cement to help with the mining at the North Slope Mine and to build a wall to protect against the Demonic Beasts respectively.

He also created the Border Town Militia (which would then be reformed into the First Army) to man the walls and defend against the Demonic Beasts. While these militia were mostly armed with wooden spears at first, Roland also re-invented and produced Flintlocks to aid the militia. Having previously made the decision to stay in Border Town during the Month of Demons instead of fleeing to Longsong Stronghold, Roland made it his utmost priority that the Border Town Militia was self-sufficient in defending against Demonic Beasts and needed no outside help. Thanks to his actions and the help of the witches, Border Town was able to survive the month of the demons with only one man losing his life.

His actions would eventually draw the attention and ire of the nobles of Longsong Stronghold, eventually culminating in The Defensive Battle of Border Town.

### **Battlefield of Souls**

This takes place at the same time as the fight against the holy city.

Zero had a plan on how to take down Roland but it was a risky move on her part, it cost some of the converted witches but she did reach Roland with her powers.

Roland lost consciousness when she entered his soul, and found himself awake in Zero's Soul Battlefield, which doesn't exist on a physical level.

Zero got confused when she entered his soul since the battlefield took form of **Cheng Yan's** (Roland) former college campus, a place that looked so different from what she has experienced in all her life. Fearing the unknown, she wanted to kill Roland as quick as possible, and didn't explain the rules of the battlefield to the opposite party.

At the end of the fight, Roland won using otherworldly knowledge but Zero didn't give up and left a fractured memory for Roland to keep.

Presumably he got her entire life span but it was proven not to be the case.

After he won he woke up to find out that he was in a coma for 2 months and Anna had been taking care of him.

The rules for the battlefield were as follows:

1. You can make something appear only if you know how it works.
2. You can die as much as your will power can endure.
3. You can give up at any time and the winner gets to keep your memory intact and the rest of your life span.
4. If you don't give up and end up dying the winner will keep a fractured memory (Depends on how strong your will power is, if it's weak they can still get the intact memory but if it's strong they will not get the memory at all or in bits and pieces) (they still get your life span)

## Detailed history

### Reborn as Roland

In these three months, or to be more exact, in the most recent month, some inexplicable changes had occurred to the fourth prince. Perhaps outsiders were still uncertain, but he was by the prince’s side every day, so this kind of change could at most keep him for a short time in the dark.

During his time in Graycastle, Fourth Prince Roland Wimbledon was only known for his bad reputation. He would insist on his own way, behave unscrupulously, without any aristocratic demeanor… things like that. In short, no big mistakes were made, only unceasing small ones. Compared to his two brothers, his position differed greatly.

When His Majesty sent him to Border Town, he was filled with disappointment. If His Majesty hadn’t promised him the position of an official finance minister after the fight for the throne, he would have quit and walked away long ago.

Early on, in his first two months in Border Town, the fourth prince always showed an extremely childish behavior. He managed to offend the local nobility over and over again. Fortunately, the town itself was of a very small scale, so even if all administrative positions were vacated and he had to fill those positions with a dozen civilians, they would still be able to go on.

Barov even suspected that the devil entered Roland's body or that Roland was possessed by a hidden witch. However, this was unlikely since the prince could hold the ‘God Punishment Lock’ which would normally dispel the power of the devil.
