"And you...will reincarnate to a new identity, and face them once again."

No good deed goes unpunished. And Theo's great need for excitement made him the right choice for this suicide mission!

But why is his system taking so damn long to install? Why did he reincarnate into someone that died from bullying? And why is his system about magic... in a world where practicing magic is forbidden.


And...leads to a cushy spot on a burning stake?

Hero System: Mage's Survival in a Cultivation World

The fires from the swords acted like beings with actual consciousness.

They first licked at the oiled wood, as if testing whether it was to their taste or not.

The tongues of fire frolicked for a short moment before reluctantly moving onto the wood of the stake's base. Yet, even though quite a lot of vases full of oil ended up poured all over the thing…

The stake didn't explode in flames.

'It's like the fire… is taking its time to enjoy its meal,' Theo thought, gulping down his saliva and tensing up a little.

As little as he believed his random idea was actually on the spot, the meaning of the situation if he actually was right…

'No,' Theo clenched his jaws and forced those stray thoughts away. 'Let's not get ahead of myself. Right now isn't the time for my thoughts to wander around,' he decided as his eyes naturally moved up to the top of the massive construction, to where Paichi's body was laid.
