The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System (Tsuiho Sareta Tensei Ju Kishi wa Gemu Chishiki de Muso Suru) is originally a Japanese light novel series by Nekoko, featuring illustrations by Jyaian. It first began on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in April 2021, while Kodansha acquired it and began publishing it in June 2022.
The manga adaptation by Lee Brocco began on Kodansha’s YanMaga Web website and app in February 2022, while it was transferred to Weekly Young Magazine in September 2024.
The story follows Elma, an MC who knows that the world he lives in is the same as the one of a game he used to play. While others underestimate it, he knows that the Heavy Knight class is the most powerful one, and he uses the memories from his past life to ‘game the system’ and effectively conquer the entire world.
