Ryuto started writing Reborn as a Space Mercenary: I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship as a web novel serialized on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in February 2019. It was later acquired by Fujimi Shobo, which began publishing it with illustrations by Tetsuhiro Nabeshima in July 2019. Sixteen volumes have been released as of December 2025, with Volume 17 set to release in May 2026.
There is also an ongoing manga adaptation by Shinichi Matsui, which has been serialized on Kadokawa’s ComicWalker website since November 2019, with a total of eleven volumes released as of March 23, 2026. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both the light novel and manga in English, describing the story:
When Sato Takahiro is swept away from his ordinary life into the world of his favorite video game, a universe of space battles, interstellar colonies, and danger in the vastness of outer space awaits. Soon, he’s living as “Hiro” the mercenary, with a tricked-out spaceship and a babe on each arm! There are space pirates to fight, girls to rescue, and trouble to get into (and hopefully out of). Hiro is going to live his new life to the fullest!
