After being reincarnated, Ars Louvent is supposed to live in a different world as a weak aristocrat. Both his physical strength and intelligence were mediocre in both worlds, but here he naturally possessed a skill called "Appraisal" that allowed him to see the potential of any person. By gathering talented people by his side, Ars uses this "Appraisal" skill to transform his weak territory into the strongest one! But the road ahead of him won't be so simple.
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. Working as a formidable force, their goal is to establish the most dominant kingdom in the area.

Urano Motosu, a university student with a passion for reading, made a fervent plea to God before she passed away. "May I continue to read books even if I am reincarnated," she had hoped. Urano was so devoted to books that she had planned to become a librarian. However, a tragic earthquake had ended her life and dashed her aspirations. Fate had other plans for Urano. She was reincarnated as a feeble young girl named Maine, in a peculiar medieval town where people had bizarrely tinted hair. Although Maine was captivated by the uniqueness of her surroundings, she was upset by her family's limited financial resources and her own frailty. Moreover, the state of literacy in the city was poor, and books were scarce and expensive. Despite the hurdles, Maine resolved to pursue her lifelong passion for books and make her own. And so began the tale of a bookworm's journey to create her very own treasure-trove of books.
