Hogwarts: The Wizard's Eternal Life

As a survivor of war, Roger only learned magic to stay alive.



Nicolas Flamel: "Then how about I teach you the method for creating the Philosopher's Stone and brewing the Elixir of Life?"



"No, no. It's called eternal life, but the physical body decays terribly after a few hundred years, causing endless suffering. Can that even be called eternal life?" Roger shook his head.



Voldemort: "I'll teach you the method of Horcruxes, splitting yourself into seven. You can be reborn even after death, how about it?"



"No, no. To sever one's soul is to mutilate oneself. Even if it seems like rebirth, the Ship of Theseus, lacking continuity, is it ever truly the same me?"



Dumbledore: "Death is not the end, but a new, great adventure. I'll teach you..."



Before he could finish, Roger interrupted, "When there is still hope, choosing death is merely admitting powerlessness and escaping this world. And without hope, what difference is there from true death? No, thank you!"



Grindelwald: "I will impart the art of prophecy to you, allowing you to anticipate your enemies, grasp the currents of the era, lead wizards to greatness once more, and then gather the strength of all wizards to sustain you alone for an extended existence, what do you say?"



Roger Virgil, who was also a seer like him, thought about it seriously, but ultimately shook his head.



"Just as I stand above this era now, new talents emerge in every generation. The world is vast and boundless. No matter how powerful I become, there will always be more powerful beings who will stand before me in the future. No one is eternally invincible, nor is anyone truly always victorious. Becoming too entangled with all beings is not the eternal path."



Refusing the teachings of the last elder, Roger Virgil gazed at the starry sky: "...There is no path in this world. It seems I must forge my own."



TL Synposis:



Roger Virgil, a transmigrator from 21st-century Earth, finds himself reborn into the body of a ten-year-old boy in 1990 Kuwait, just before the Gulf War. After surviving the conflict through deception and strategic foresight, he is apprehended by the British Ministry of Magic for his actions involving Muggles and magic.



Facing trial in the Wizengamot, Roger navigates the complex wizarding legal system, defended by a Ministry-assigned lawyer and ultimately judged by figures like Albus Dumbledore. Despite his talent and unusual abilities, including precognition, his survival tactics during the war draw scrutiny. Roger's journey continues as he enrolls at Hogwarts, seeking to understand magic and pursue immortality, while inadvertently drawing the attention of powerful figures like Voldemort and Dumbledore.
