Rurik, a young man from the 21st century, gets transmigrated to the past—to the 9th century, one of the most savage and bloody eras in history. He awakens as a 15-year-old Norse farmer. Well aware of the harsh life of farmers during this period, from exploitation by lords to constant Viking raids, he chooses to leave the farming life behind.Rurik embarks on a journey of sailing with the Vikings and commanding raiding parties. This is a slow, somewhat realistic story of rising from a farmer to a Viking lord, and later becoming a noble with territory in Great Britain. Rurik’s most outstanding abilities are his intelligence in handling situations and his strong management skills.The story also introduces historical figures such as Ragnar, Ivar, Olaf, Björn, Harald, Eric, and many others whose names are recorded in history.---Viking tales, while bloody and brutal, are among the most entertaining to read, and I am sure you will have a great time reading this tale.
