Ephtal is reincarnated as a human, coming from modern Earth. In this new world where magic is real, he decides to devote the entirety of his life in the pursuit of magic.

One of the worst manga I ever read. Totally filled with cliches Totally boring. I like an MC who does not hesitate to kill traitors or any evil characters but this one I don't even want to comment on. It is filled with useless characters and the author is just creating a timepass arc as if out of the story. *spoilers* There was a slave girl the MC saved. She had a slave crest. That was fine. But now the author says that it is not a regular slave crest instead It is a mind control thing. I am shocked. And after finding her after her betrayal, the MC isn't even angry, he is like I will help you remove the mind control thing. What the hell, at least be angry a little bit, she took your treasure. I am done with this story.

Would be a nice manga if not for the god awful plot. This story takes the balls to the walls approach- that is to say make the rules of the world something in 1 chapter and then break those rules the following chapter. An example(2 hehe): The main character wants to not stick out cus other people would treat him as a monster. Then the next chapter he brings a bloody cataclysm where many eyes can see. Another example would be when he was shuffling around his school and there he saw his disciple from his previous life. He thought to himself "I should avoid her, I'm unready to face my protege". THE NEXT CHAPTER he is fighting her with level 10 ultimate powers and she says something like "Ah those special epic moves you did could've been oly done by my master 400 years ago so you must be my masters reincarnate" The Plot lacks cohesiveness and it triggers me soooo goddamn muuuch.....

'The world shall knell before him' until the moment he catches the cliche sicknes and starts to hide it. So the whole world of magic had to drastically decline for him to become overpowered. A really sad premise. As for the rest it's rather generic so U'll have to decide for yourself if U like this stuff or not.
