Synopsis
Yuuto Suoh is a fourteen-year-old second-year junior high student who is knowledgeable about urban legends. One night, in his quest to discover if the urban legend of the local Tsukimiya Shrine was true, he irreversibly discovered that the legend was not a sham. Forcibly separated from his childhood friend and love of his life, Mitsuki Shimoya, Yuuto appeared in another world with heavy similarities to Norse mythology (while doing research on the world, he discovered that the "other world" wasn't truly another world but was an Earth in the distant past, specifically, 2000-1300 BC, the Late Bronze Age). In his quest for survival, Yuuto inadvertently rose to become the patriarch of the Wolf Clan, the family that had taken him in upon his summoning, by using the modern knowledge provided to him by his smartphone that he had unwittingly brought with him to the other world. Despite winning the affections of multiple Einherjars, magic-wielding warrior maidens, Yuuto has but one goal: to return to the side of his childhood friend and one true love (although this does not stop the other girls from trying to win him over).

Character
"I need to do the best with things I can do, don't I? As Patriarch."

- Suō Yūto The main character of this work. At the beginning of the story, A junior high student turned warlord who accidentally transported himself to Yggdrasil when he took a selfie in front of a divine mirror. He is the suzerain of the "wolf" clans, and later becomes the suzerain of the "steel" clans. He is usually so sweet to others that he is aware of it, and at first, even if he was his subordinate, he had a personality of using honorifics when he was older. On the other hand, he shows no mercy to those who hurt his comrades or acts that lack loyalty.

You can get tools and weapons that do not exist in Yggdrasil, and tactics that have not been devised yet from your smartphone. However, he did not have the skills to actually create things using that knowledge, and when he was first summoned, he was despised as "Skoll" (meaning a wasteful eater). Gradually, he gained the trust of those around him, asked for their cooperation, and learned how to utilize the knowledge he acquired from his smartphone.

He is always aware that his strength is borrowed power after all, and when he first became the suzerain, he despised himself, saying, "I am not the suzerain's vessel." That habit faded later, but he still tries to be humble, accepting the fact that he is supported by the people around him. When he reveals his anger, his ambition can overwhelm others, and he can intimidate even those who would never be able to beat him in a simple fist-fight. Felicia said, "If (Yuto) were a person with only knowledge, would the veteran heroes follow him?"

His father, who lives in his original world, was a swordsmith, and he has knowledge about blacksmithing under the influence of his father. His mother has already passed away, and he has a bad relationship with his father due to his involvement in her mother's death. The reason why Yuuto thinks of his own family (children) more than anyone else is related to this background. In the two years since his arrival, he rose to become the patriarch of the Wolf Clan and used the modern knowledge available to him to come up with new military tactics and new technologies to make his clan powerful.

Abilities
"To be near the goal while the enemy is still far from it, to wait at ease while the enemy is toiling and struggling, to be well-fed while the enemy us famished. This is the art of husbanding one's Strength."

- Suō Yūto (Line from Sun Tzu) Despite Yuuto himself not having any unique abilities, he is a skilled commander by imitating the tactics of famous conquerors, such as Alexander the Great and Oda Nobunaga, and a skilled leader by studying important texts such as Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince and Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Due his knowledge in the history of war Yūto adapt the knowledge of every famous War in history.

He is also very adaptive in every situation that comes up. Yūto give vast of knowledge to the Wolf clan Empire like Education paper, Norfolk husbandry, and tatara (glass). Also he use the knowledge of II principe and the form of art of war for the empire. He use following military tactics:


 * Phalanx: A tightly-packed formation of spear-men that was used to Great effect in Ancient Greece in which each of them drawn up in close order with shields overlapping. Yūto use this formation for his frontline defence.
 * Mongol military tactics and organization: Mongol soldier typically maintained 3 or 4 horses. Changing horses often allowed them to travel at high speed for days without stopping or wearing out the animals. When one horse became tired, the rider would dismount and rotate to another. Though the used mount would still have to travel, it would do so without the weight of the rider. Their ability to live off the land, and in extreme situations off their animals (mare's milk especially), made their armies far less dependent on the traditional logistical apparatus of agrarian armies. In some cases, as during the invasion of Hungary in early 1241, they covered up to 100 miles (160 km) per day, which was unheard of by other armies of the time. The mobility of individual soldiers made it possible to send them on successful scouting missions, gathering intelligence about routes and searching for terrain suited to the preferred combat tactics of the Mongols. Yūto inspired this tactics and use this method for the advantage and strategy for the war against to the enemy.
 * Stirrup: A light frame or ring that holds the foot of a rider, attached to the saddle by a strap, often called a stirrup leather. Stirrups are usually paired and are used to aid in mounting and as a support while using a riding animal (usually a horse or other equine, such as a mule).
 * They greatly increase the rider's ability to stay in the saddle and control the mount, increasing the animal's usefulness to humans in areas such as communication, transportation and warfare. Yūto use this method for his army to ride easily from the horse.

Runes
"By holding out advantages to him he can cause the enemy to approach of his own accord."

- Suō Yūto Yuuto already have a runes when he got summoned in Yggdrasil, but it sealed by the Gleipnir after he was summoned back. For unknown explanation Yuuto able to use them and this Runes are perfect fit in his strategy and tactics for the opponent.


 *  Herfjötur  •  The Fetter of the Host: It's a ability (Rune) to location of the opponent or an armies. This ability never explain or determined how far it can locate.
 *  Hervör  •  The Guardian of the Host: It's a ability (Rune) to sense the certain opponent. It can sense the opponent even it hidden nor a far away or even blocked by the terrain or an object neither nor a equipment. This ability able to sense another Runes or a killing intent even its very far away.
