- That Time They Reincarnated a Rapper -
You’d think dying would be the worst part.
Not for Jean Vinson.
After a brutal end in his previous life, Jean wakes up in a wild new world where music is magic, souls are power sources, and gods walk among mortals. Now known as Xiro Mikazuki, he finds himself on the outside of Gaia’s cutthroat society, armed with only old memories, a mental disorder-turned-power up, and a smart-ass attitude that just might get him killed—again.
Thrown into deadly trials, divine politics, and twisted battles that remix soul, genre, and grit, Xiro must navigate a world where faith empowers, fame kills, and failure means eternal silence. The system’s rigged, the deities are watching—and they’re betting on him to lose.
But they clearly forgot:
He’s not here to play fair.
He’s trying to create his paradise by any means necessary.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation is more than just another isekai — it’s an evolution of the genre. It refuses to follow standard tropes and instead blends the music industry’s highs and lows, Black cultural identity, divine spirituality, and shonen-style power systems into something deeply personal and original. At its core, this is a story of healing through power, rage, and love, driven by the ghost of the past and the burdens of greatness.
Xiro’s arc — from lost, damaged artist to rising Godlike force — is never clean or idealized. It's traumatic, hilarious, angry, vulgar, and transcendent.
What to expect:
- A Love Letter to Hip-Hop, Anime, and Fantasy Games.
- OP Protagonist with infinite potential and a savage attitude.
- System Mechanics wrapped in magic and science.
- Divine Politics & Soul Wars that upend every trope.
- Witty, Smart-Mouth Narration in full AAVE effect.

I've been enjoying the mix of hip-hop and black culture laced into the isekai world. The fights are now starting to pick up and each one keeps getting better than before. I could use more information about the bad guy, but I understand it's still a bit early. Can't wait to see where it goes.
this is a really awesome story. great characters, great worldbuilding, lots of themes and a skill system so thought out and deep that it makes every power feel earned or foreshadowed. the music albums being ultra skill names is too dope for words. and the mc is the greatest ever. bruh just straight charisma and funny. i love this story. great job man.
