Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation (Novel) Vol. 20

TUGGED ALONG BY FAMILY TIES

Rudeus brings Zanoba back to Ranoa Kingdom to plan the Man-God’s future downfall when a letter arrives from the Holy Kingdom of Millis—Cliff’s grandfather is urging him home. Though he suspects another Man-God plot is afoot, Rudeus is soon distracted by a missive from his own matriarchal relatives and races off to the capital of Millis. A storm of clashing motives and political intrigue is brewing: what else awaits our hero in the city of Millishion?

Series Overview: Kicked out by his family and wandering the streets, an unemployed 34-year-old shut-in thinks he’s hit rock-bottom—just as he’s hit and killed by a speeding truck! Awakening to find himself reborn as an infant in a world of swords and sorcery, but with the memories of his first life intact, Rudeus Greyrat is determined not to repeat his past mistakes. He’s going to make the most of this reincarnation as he sets off on the adventure of a second lifetime!
