The official website for the anime describes Teogonia as:
It’s a time of warfare where relentless battles continue between human and demi-human tribes like the Ash Monkeys (Macaque) and pig people (Ogres) invading human lands.
Kai, a boy from the village of Rag, spends his days immersed in battle to protect his village.
Amidst the harsh battles enforced by those possessing immense power known as “guardian bearers,” and as his comrades fall one by one, Kai suddenly recalls memories he shouldn’t have experienced – memories of a world with advanced technology and knowledge of people’s lives beyond this world.
And thus, although Kai was just a villager, he soon finds himself embroiled in great trials…
A magnificent fantasy tale unfolds, chronicling the struggle and growth of a single boy in a harsh world.

The Teogonia light novel, with illustrations from Kouichiro Kawano, was first published on the Shosetsuka ni Nar website in August 2017. Shufu to Seikatsu Sha acquired the series and has been serializing I under the PASH! Books imprint since March 2018. The light novel currently has three volumes out. A manga adaptation with art by Shunsuke Aoyama is ongoing in Shufu to Seikatsu Sha’s Comic PASH!. Thehre are 11 volumes currently out.

J-Novel has licensed the light novel in English, with plot described as:
In the harsh region known as the borderlands, humans must fight an endless battle against demi-human creatures that come at them relentlessly, intent on taking their land and their gods. A young boy named Kai, fighting to defend his village, sustains a life-threatening injury that causes him to regain memories from a past life. If you’re not a guardian bearer, it’s like you’re playing life on hard mode… Kai’s newfound knowledge gives him a new sense of the unfair “rule set” that governs the world around him. One thing is clear: For those without a god to serve as their guardian, life is a constant struggle for survival. Thus begins the epic tale of a young boy’s ascent into a vast world filled with magic, bloodshed, and mystery.
