Damien Cross, a 19-year-old college student with a goofy charm, a sharp mind, a taste for good food, and a seriously short fuse, lived a mostly quiet life—until the day he died saving a child from an oncoming truck. But death wasn’t the end... it was just the beginning.
Awakening in the realm of the Fire Goddess, Damien is given a second chance at life—this time, in a fantasy world of swords, sorcery, and strange creatures. Bestowed with the overwhelming power of an Overpowered Fire Mage, even at Level 1, and partnered with a mischievous and mysterious flame spirit named Lateen Wisp, Damien sets off on a new journey under the blazing sky of his second life.
He wakes beneath a tree in a vibrant new world, where danger, adventure, and absurd misunderstandings await around every corner. Whether he's joining an adventurer's guild, exploring ancient dungeons, helping villages in need, or accidentally getting roped into political marriages, Damien does it all his own way—with fireballs, wild grins, and a “don’t-mess-with-my-friends” attitude that could reduce kingdoms to ash.
On his journey, he’ll battle monsters, corrupt nobles, fanatical cults, rogue gods, and ancient evils. He’ll meet friends and foes of every race and background—humans, demons, slaves, royals, even goddesses—and gather a chaotic, loving, and powerful harem along the way. He’s not a hero. He doesn’t care for glory. He fights for himself, and for the people he chooses to protect.
With explosive magic, chaotic energy, and a loner’s heart of gold, Damien’s journey is one of comedy, action, and romance... and the legend of the greatest fire mage the world has ever known is about to ignite!
