What if you reincarnate in another world?
What kind of life would you wish to live?
Yes, I am a normal human in a world where everything is normal—just like Earth.
I am a 15-year-old kid whose dream is to go to another world—an isekai or fantasy world—use magic or skills, live with dragons and elves, kill demons and monsters, or tame powerful beasts.
But it's all just a dream.
There is no way something like that could ever happen in reality… right?
Scene
A 15-year-old kid is sitting in front of a laptop, watching anime.
That kid:
"In this anime, a normal human reincarnates into another world and gets magic powers, lives a happy life, and even marries many women—two or three.
I'm not saying I want to live exactly like that MC… but like every other kid, my dream is to go to another world.
What does it feel like to use magic or skills?
What does it feel like to be overpowered or truly powerful?
I just want to stand in the MC's place once—just once—and feel what they feel…"
Scene
The screen turns black.
Suddenly, terrorists appear inside a school and capture the same kid.
That kid:
"But who would have thought… God was watching me and would grant my wish?"
Terrorist:
"Don't move! If you move, I'll kill this kid!"
Teacher:
"O… okay. We won't move. Please leave him…"
Terrorist:
"Go to that corner. Move!"
Scene
The teacher starts moving, but suddenly grabs a flowerpot from a table and throws it at the terrorist's face.
The terrorist falls to the ground along with the kid.
Terrorist & Kid:
"Argh…!"
Scene
The teacher runs forward, grabs the kid, and tries to escape.
But the terrorist is still holding the kid's hand, so the teacher can't free him in time.
The terrorist fires the gun.
The bullet hits the kid directly in the head.
That kid:
"So… this is the end…" (sobs as his eyes close)
Scene
Sounds can be heard.
The kid slowly opens his eyes.
Kid:
"Hm… what is this sound?
I'm dead, so is this the sound of hell… or heaven?"
(opens eyes)
"Huh…?!"
Scene
Right in front of him is a woman's face. She looks very happy.
Kid:
"Is this a soul reaper? Where am I?"
Woman:
"He's just like you, honey."
Scene
The woman has short black hair and crimson-red eyes.
The kid turns his face slightly and sees a man sitting beside her, with white hair and emerald-green eyes.
Kid:
"Who's that?"
Man:
"Yeah… like parents, kid."
Kid:
"Parents…? Kid?"
Scene
The woman lifts the kid up, kisses him, and says:
Woman:
"Wuaah~ our lovely child… the symbol of our love."
Kid:
"Huh?!!!!
I was reincarnated into another world?!
Are you Sirius?!"
Scene
The kid has silver hair, and eyes that are dark emerald green mixed with light crimson red.
Scene
After 7 years…
Scene
Inside the family's house.
The MC is sitting by the window in his room, holding a book and staring outside.
Kid (thinking):
"In this world, skills and techniques don't exist. Only magic exists—and there are no levels or systems."
Scene
On the ground, cars and bikes are moving, people are walking using magic.
Kid (thinking):
"This world looks like my past world… but at the same time…"
Scene
People are flying in the air using magic, and even plane-like things exist.
Kid (thinking):
"This world is completely different from my past life's world."
Kid (thinking):
"In this world, magic itself has no categories, but humans created categories to show their power and to look down on others.
First is Normal—ordinary magic users who can use spells like fireballs or water balls.
Second is High—people like my mom and dad. Their IQ is higher than normal people, so they can use magic like dragon fire or fire-dragon-type spells.
Then come Excellent people—these people have IQs that can rival Einstein. They use magic like nature blasts or lava rain."
Scene
Suddenly, a voice is heard.
Mom:
"Food is ready, my lovely child!"
Kid:
"Coming…"
Kid (thinking):
"Anyone can learn magic—everyone really.
Some have more magic, some have less.
This depends on IQ: how many magic formulas someone can learn.
It's just like my past life—how much you study, how many subjects you learn, or how many formulas you memorize to top math or science exams."
Scene
The kid and his mom sit at the table and start eating.
Kid:
"Mom, when will Dad come back?"
Mom:
"Maybe around 10 o'clock."
Kid:
"Okay…"
Kid (thinking):
"My parents run a magic shop where they sell healing pills and other medicines."
Kid (thinking):
"I still haven't seen much of this world.
I've never gone far from my house, so I don't know whether other species exist besides humans."
Scene
A dog comes in.
Dog:
"Woof! Woof!"
Mom:
"Wait, wait—I'll give you food too."
Kid (thinking):
"Normal animals like dogs, cats, and cows exist…
But unlike humans, they don't have magic. They are just normal animals."
Kid:
"Mom, when can I go to the magic academy?"
Mom:
"Hm… the magic academy has a 5-year course.
Normally, kids between the ages of 10 and 15 can join.
But if you fail even once, you have to restart the entire course."
Kid:
"So if I turn 10, can I go?"
Mom:
"Hehehe… my love, no.
Only kids with excellent-level magic potential can enter at age 10—kids who can become very powerful magicians in the future.
The test at age 10 is very difficult.
At age 15, it's not that hard.
That's why, except for genius kids, everyone goes at 15."
Kid:
"…"
Mom:
"But why this sudden question?"
Kid:
"Just like that…"
Mom:
"Don't worry. Even if you're not an excellent kid, you can still become a good magician.
And anyway, you'll be managing our family business in the future."
Kid:
"Yeah… right." (suddenly happy and excited)
Kid (thinking):
"Like other isekai anime, no one knows that I came from another world—not even my mom and dad.
But there's another human-made category called Grand Master.
This title is given when someone has learned more than 100 powerful, high-level magic spells.
And I've decided…
I won't stop there.
I'll surpass the 4th category and create a 5th category.
Its name will be—
'NOVA'."
Mom:
"Hey! You left the tomatoes again!
How will you become a good magician if you do that? Eat them!"
Kid:
"Huh!! I don't like tomatoes!"
Mom:
"No excuses. Eat them, or you won't get your phone—and you won't be allowed to take Puma for a walk."
Kid:
"…Okay…"
