He isnt a fighter, and he doesnt know the first thing about his new world, but he does have one advantage thats crucial for anyone who hopes to get by as a lord. Namely, an unprecedented eye for talent, granted to him by his special skill: Appraisal!

Unfortunately, the empire he lives in is teetering on the brink of civil war. To make matters worse, the cornerstone of House Louvent and Arss father, Raven, has passed away at the worst possible moment!
