The Snake Will Smoke in Another World: Path of the Blade

​A soldier's discipline. A brotherhood's loyalty. The impossible is about to happen. ​In Keinji Moura’s old world, they used to say it was easier for a snake to smoke a pipe than for the improbable to become reality. He lived by that defiance, forged in the ashes of Tokyo and the rigors of the Brazilian Army, until fate betrayed him under the dim lights of a square in São Paulo. A robbery, a gunshot, and the end of his march on Earth. ​But death was merely a new mission. ​Awakening as the fourth son of a Marquis in a realm of high magic, Keinji expected the cold treachery of nobility. Instead, he found something sacred: a family bound by unbreakable loyalty. Four brothers who do not fight for crowns, but for each other. ​With no magical inheritance and armed only with his tactical mind and a standard-issue blade, Keinji will forge a path of valor. In a world of arrogant aristocrats who underestimate the value of steel and discipline, he will prove that a warrior’s greatest strength lies not in titles, but in the honor of protecting his own. ​They believe he is insignificant. They expect him to fail. But as Keinji organizes his ranks and draws his steel, he brings a warning from his homeland to this new world: ​When the improbable rises and the underdog strikes back...
