An unnamed 34-year-old Japanese NEET is evicted from his home following his parents' death. Upon some self-introspection, he concludes that his life was ultimately pointless. He intercepts a speeding truck heading towards a group of teenagers in an attempt to do something meaningful for once in his life and manages to pull one of them out of harm's way before dying. Awakening in a baby's body, he realizes he has been reincarnated in a world of sword and sorcery. He resolves to become successful in his new life, discarding his past identity for his new life as Rudeus Greyrat. Due to inherited affinity and early training, Rudeus becomes highly skilled at magic. During his childhood, he becomes a student of demon magician Roxy Migurdia, a friend to demihuman Sylphiette, and magic teacher to noble heiress Eris Boreas Greyrat.
An absolutely wonderfully written and gripping series. I strongly recommend. Episodes will continue to be uploaded quickly and up to date. Don't forget to add it to your library to follow.
Well it's the best LN/WB I read this Year and has great story plus it's very well translated.. Hope the author gives another great story like Mushoku Tensei
If you came here from the anime like I did, I was pleseantly surprised. I loved the anime and because of that, I loved this even more. Read this, don’t read the manga, and watch the anime as they come out!
The story is fantastic! The charcter designs are so cool! (My favourite character is Orsted, Rudeus and Roxy) This is one of the best stories I've ever read.
Read this just as the 1st half of the second season of the anime was released because I simply couldn't wait to find out what happens. Story was great, translation great, longer than I thought it would be, which is a good thing. Can't wait to see what the author comes up with next. I hope to read more about this world like the author alluded to at the end.
best ln i have read so far that got me rereading it twice!
