J-Novel Club has picked up a new novel series license with the Record of Wortenia War property. The series has twelve volumes to its name with the latest one from Hobby Japan out last month. There’s also a manga adaptation that we expect J-Novel Club will get involved with at some point in the future. The book comes from writer Ryota Hori – their first work – working with illustrator bob for the project.

Plot Concept: Ryoma Mikoshiba, an ordinary high-schooler adept at martial arts, one day finds himself summoned to another world. The ones who summoned him, the O’ltormea Empire, cite the fact that ‘when those summoned kill another living being, they can absorb a fraction of their strength and make it their own’ as their reason. But upon learning the empire uses those they summon to strengthen themselves by foul means, Ryoma is consumed by hatred and slays an important member of the O’ltormean court. Attempting to escape the Empire’s borders while keeping his identity a secret, he is accosted by two twin sisters— one golden-haired, the other silver-haired— in a meeting that sets the gears of fate in motion. The curtain rises on a record of the wars of a young supreme ruler in this other world fantasy!
