Chapter 2

I Reincarnated, And It Was A Decadent World

Let’s conclude.

My reincarnation spell was a success.

Moreover, the world was exactly 1000 years later.

“Alright…!”

When I found out, I secretly performed a gut pose to myself. However, I’m still just a baby.

“Oh…! So, I’m finally the father of a child”

“Look, Dad! Kurt-chan, you have an angelic look on your face!”

My parents hugged me and let me rub their cheeks against mine.

Now I was born into the world as the eldest son of the Lepracta family.

My father’s name was Alois. My mother’s name was Emilia.

And I was given the name Kurt… Kurt Lepracta.

The house was not exceptionally wealthy, nor was it poor. It’s a middle-class family.

I’ve received a lot of affection from Alois and Emilia, who were a bit of a silly parent, and I’m twelve years old now.

So far, my life has been without any problems.

But apparently, it was the world that was the problem.

“What has become of this world…?”

I put down the book I was reading, and I was appalled.

It’s been twelve years since I’ve been here.

Is that possible?

Is something wrong?

I’ve been living my life wondering about it, but apparently, I’m not wrong.

This world was more declined than it was when I lived here 1000 years ago.

Especially when it comes to magic techniques.

1000 years ago. I’ve revolutionized magic, and all of mankind was going to benefit from it.

However, in this world 1000 years later, it seems that magic was considered special, as ‘it can only be used by those with a certain amount of talent’.

I am surprised by this.

Before the Magic Revolution, even children around here were using magic in general.

I guess you could say that the magic was infused into our daily lives.

But in a world 1000 years from now, almost no one uses magic.

In addition to that, we don’t see any of the magical tools that were so well developed.

“What the hell has happened in the last 1000 years…?”

What kind of magic techniques will be developed after 1000 years?

What kind of useful magical tools were used in the city?

It was disappointing that I had my heart pumping.

…but it’s too early to tell yet.

The village where I was born was quite rural.

Maybe it’s just in this small village.

Left behind in a magical civilization…

Looking at the current situation, it seems unlikely.

“Well, Dad, Mom. I’m going out to play again today”

“Oh, be careful”

Dad replied while reading the newspaper.

“Kurt. I’ve said it many times, but you can’t go to the nearby woods, can you? That’s where the monsters live, after all”

“Yeah. I know”

I waved to my worried mother and then left the house.

The place I’m heading to was, of course, the nearby forest where the monsters live.

It was just a short walk out of the village.

My father and mother…or rather, the people of the village tell me that I can’t go to the nearby forest.

However, the only thing I can enjoy in the countryside where there was nothing was the so-called ‘monster hunting’.

If I don’t unleash my magic on a monster occasionally, my body will become sluggish.

“But there are no monsters to entertain me”

As I was walking in the forest, a wolf-type monster named Wolf appeared from the front.

I am able to find one quickly today. I guess I’m in luck.

“Let’s… do it”

As soon as the Wolf saw me, it turned it’s fangs on me and charged at me.

There’s only two seconds left for it to get here…

In my past life, fighting within 0.001 seconds was the norm, as this was considered as slow, so I yawned.

I decided to slowly assemble the magic formula.

By pouring magic power into the completed magic formula, the magic was then set in motion.

While the Wolf was still far ahead, a flame in the shape of a spear appeared in front of me.

It was a lower level magic known as Fire Spear.

That should be enough for this guy.

The Fire Spear went straight ahead with a grunge and pierced the Wolf.

“Kyaun…!”

With a surprisingly cute squeal, the Wolf was pierced by the spear and tumbled to the ground.

“Well, in my past life, most of the monsters ran away as soon as they saw me, so this kind of monster is pretty valuable”

It was when I was about to approach the fallen Wolf.

A pack of Wolves showed their faces as they surrounded me.

“So, you’re saying your friend got beaten up and came to check on him…?”

Of course, it was intentional to allow them to get this close.

Using detection magic, I had already noticed a pack of Wolves were approaching since long ago.

“All right, come on, you’re on. It will be a good exercise”

“Uoooon!”

The wolves howled and charged at me in unison.

And the pack of wolves tumbled in less than five seconds after the battle had begun.

“Whew. I’ve gotten a lot of my strength back”

I open my fist to check the familiarity of the magic.

I’m still far from the heyday of my past life.

But I could tell it was getting steadily closer.

“Now, let’s continue the hunt some more”

After an hour or so of monster hunting, I went back to the house.

“I’m home”

“Welcome home. Kurt! I was worried about you!”

As soon as I get home, my mom hugs me.

I had only left the house for a little while…

“You worry too much, Mom”

“But, but! Kurt-chan is…”

Mom stares at me intently with tears in her eyes.

‘Yes, Kurt. If you run into a wolf in the woods, it will be a big problem. Even a vigilante would put his life on the line to take one down”

…I’ve already killed over 30 Wolves since then though?

“It’s okay, Dad. If any monster appear… I’ll use my magic to defeat them”

”Hahaha, that’s reassuring. Well, I’m sure you’re gifted in some ways… but magic is a very interesting joke”

I’m not kidding. It’s been a while since I killed a monster.

Incidentally, I did not tell my parents that I can use magic.

It was because I didn’t want to be bothered by the unnecessary fuss.

“That’s because you have a defective magic. But magic is not the only thing that is appealing though”

“That’s right, Kurt. I don’t know about you but… you know, defective magic is the least suitable for magic, right? So, Kurt-chan, don’t do anything dangerous!”

Yes, this common sense of ‘defective magic’ was what surprised me the most.

There were different types of magic and they were colored.

It was the same as 1000 years ago.

But… defective magic?

What are you talking about?

I’ve got the most suitable magic color for magic in this life – the golden color, isn’t it?

Chapter 1 – The Mage Who Was Too Strong

Note: This (Web Novel) has been dropped and will no longer be translated. Please click here for the Light Novel version.

“Too weak”

I looked at the ‘Demon Vonbax’ that has collapsed in front of me and murmured that.

“Even though I came all the way here……but I’m afraid I have been deceived”

I thought he might be trying to catch me off guard by pretending to be beaten up, but apparently that wasn’t the case by the looks of it.

I let out a sigh and put away the magic power surged from my body.

–Is there no one stronger than me in this world anymore?

Just the thought of it makes me feel sad.

I had been training day and night aiming to become the strongest mage.

More efficient magic.

Stronger magic.

In this way, I continued to improve the existing magic and aimed for even greater heights.

As a result of it, I realized that all the methods of using the magic that I used to believe in were inefficient.

I crushed the old ‘common sense’ of magic into pieces and chanted a new way of using the magic.

It was just to make myself stronger.

As I was just doing that, there was a revolution happening in the world before I even knew it.

It is commonly called the ‘Magic Revolution’.

Some called me a ‘Heretic’ for breaking the existing ways and opened the door to a new magical world.

I was both praised and shunned.

But it didn’t matter to me.

I didn’t intend to be with the crowd, because I wish I could master the magic alone

So I went to the ruined castle in search of a stronger one.

There is a demon called Vonbax here.

He was also called the God of Slaughter. At the moment he appeared in this world, he destroyed the Empire without any warning.

The demon is said to be waiting for a strong person to appear in the castle of the destroyed Empire.

According to one theory, this demon is said to be stronger than the Demon King.

I also felt sympathy for such a situation, so I headed for the demon.

I thought this could be the strong guy that I’ve been looking for.

However, the results were disastrous.

“I can’t believe the Empire was destroyed by just a scum”

What a shame.

The moment I met this guy, I casted an oversized spell as a greeting.

It seemed that the demon had deployed a defensive magic, but such a thing was as good as a piece of paper.

And now this demon is lying on the floor.

He died on the first blow.

It was a very short scene of an act.

“Perhaps……there’s no one else in this world to entertain me?”

Thinking like that made me felt empty inside.

At the same time, fear surged in.

How many years do I have to live from now?

Even if I continue to train my magic, I don’t have the chance to show it.

At any rate, the magic that killed the demon with one blow this time was something that I had created ten years ago.

There was stronger magic, but I didn’t have to use it.

–I’m bored of this life.

In that case.

If the world were 1000 years from now, wouldn’t there will be something that can keep me more entertained?

For a long time, I had considered the possibility that the demon was a scum.

Besides, I’m also tired of being envied by the nobles and being harassed for no good reason.

That’s why I was creating a certain kind of magic.

“Reincarnation Magic — deploy”

I built up the magic power.

Yes, it’s a reincarnation.

I’m tired of this life.

In that case, let’s reincarnate to a world 1000 years from now.

If it was a world 1000 years from now, I guess the magic skills may have advanced by leaps and bounds.

That’s the kind of world I’d like to see.

Because there might be someone who can satisfy me if it’s that kind of world.

“……Good. It seems that the reincarnation magic is maneuvering normally”

The light of the magic fills the castle.

I poured all my magic power into it.

Gradually, my vision became blurred and I felt like my soul was being pulled away.

I prayed—

Wishing there would be someone stronger than me in a world 1000 years from now.

Thus, I activated the reincarnation magic without telling anyone.
