After reincarnating, our protagonist is now living as Ars Louvent, an aristocrat owning a puny fiefdom in another world. Just like in his previous world, his physique and talent were extremely average after reincarnating, but he was born with an “appraisal” ability that allowed him to see the hidden potential within other people. Ars uses his appraisal ability to turn his weak fiefdom into the strongest! Original story from Shousetsuka ni Narou. Push forth alongside hidden talents! The massively popular another world unification record!
Once a mere salaryman, Ars Louvent is reborn as a noble's son, lacking neither in magical nor sword-wielding abilities, but instead having a unique gift-the power of "appraisal." With this skill, he can assess others' current strength, potential, and areas of expertise. In a world of corruption, rebellion, and impending war, Ars realizes the significance of his ability. To brace for the impending conflict, he embarks on a mission to enlist talent and put together a diverse team consisting of a foreign expert, a magical servant with untapped potential, and a curious boy consumed by the thirst for knowledge.
