Chronicles of an Aristocrat Reborn in Another World (Light Novel) Vol. 4

The light novel series that inspired the manga (also from Seven Seas) and anime! A story about a modern man who finds himself reincarnated as a young nobleman with powerful magic.

Shiina Kazuya’s life is as ordinary as it gets—until one fateful night, a bid to protect his friend’s sister leads to his death. But when he wakes up, he’s no longer a high schooler—he’s Cain von Silford, a three-year-old heir to an aristocratic family in a fantastical world.

To his surprise, Cain learns that upon turning five, he’ll receive powerful blessings from the gods, each one enhancing his stat abilities to godlike levels. With immeasurable strength, magical prowess, and intelligence far beyond human limits, Cain begins to uncover the vast scope of his powers. As he navigates his new life, he must keep his extraordinary powers a secret while dealing with gods, aristocrats, and charming young ladies. His adventure is just beginning.

Adapted into the hit anime The Aristocrat’s Otherworldly Adventure: Serving Gods Who Go Too Far!
