Zetronys

What if you spend your whole life like a vegetable in a hospital bed? Only being able to speak and listen. Just that. Would you go crazy? Unbalanced? What if it was all the fault of a degenerate madman looking for his parents' inheritance? Would you be angry? Would you be mentally broken?
That was Kayden's life for 20 years and as quickly as it started, it ended, but luckily for him, reincarnation existed and by some miracle, he still had his memories of it. And....his new world had...magic.
In the first moment of consciousness, Kayden made a promise to himself, in this life, he would achieve everything, he would reach the height of power, he wouldn't give a damn about women or money, futile things that would condemn him to mediocrity, his focus was to have the power to rule his destiny, this time he would not be a slave to his own life, he would be a monarch.

The time they had spent in the other world now seemed meaningless, as everyone here appeared to have arrived at the same moment. Most likely, a small temporal dilation spell had resolved that issue.

"Welcome, everyone. The ten strongest mages will be selected for the next stages. The last ten standing will earn the right to progress in our tournament," announced a voice. The instructions were straightforward—this was simply a war among the strongest mages in the sector.

Kayden watched as hundreds of spells were launched almost instantly. Many of these mages possessed the power to destroy entire planets with a mere flick of their fingers. It was then that Kayden truly grasped how far he had evolved. Among the chaos of spells being cast, not a single one posed even the slightest threat to him. His mana shield wouldn't even budge against their efforts.
