The Conqueror from a Dying Kingdom (Manga) Volume 5

Yuri continues his training at the Knight Academy where his rapid completion of each course leaves him with more free time than he knows what to do with. However, a meeting with the nation’s queen leads to an agreement that opens up new possibilities within the world of commerce and an end to Yuri’s monotony.

Aided by his past-life knowledge, Yuri begins developing a method of making paper with grand ambitions of rendering parchment obsolete. But running a business amid the corruption that plagues Shiyalta’s royal capital is fraught with risk, even for the son of a chieftain.

As Yuri prepares to take on the witch-controlled parchment guild, powerful new enemies do not hesitate to reveal themselves.
