A New World: Radis, the Legendary Mage

Radis, the legendary mage, had accomplished it all: summoning time, manipulating matter, defying death itself. But what was the point? Each victory left him more alone, more tired, and more disillusioned. His heart grew heavy, and he abandoned the adventure.

He made a choice: reincarnation. Not out of necessity, but out of desire. A desire to find challenges worthy of him in a new world with new rules, new enemies, and a chance to relive the fight.

Years passed, and in another world, in another body, Kiro Yamasai lived his life as a normal, ambitionless teenager. He wasn't exceptional or noticed at the magic school where he studied. His spells always failed, and he spent most of his time failing exams. He dreamed of becoming a great mage, but his results were disappointing. Magic always slipped away from him.

One ordinary day, Kiro got up reluctantly, preparing his bag in a hurry, not even taking the time for breakfast. He sat in class, still tired from the night before. The professor had already called him to the board to demonstrate a basic spell. Once again, Kiro failed, and anxiety built up inside him.

Later that afternoon, he came home, his heart heavy with shame and frustration. He collapsed on his bed, closing his eyes, overwhelmed by a strange weariness. Magic seemed to be his only way out, but nothing ever went right. He wondered if it would always be this way.

He dozed off for a few moments, exhausted, but sleep didn’t last long.

The next morning, Kiro suddenly woke, as if something had pulled him from deep sleep. He opened his eyes, dizzy, and felt an odd sensation spread through his body. He wasn’t alone. A soft yet powerful voice filled his mind, echoing mysteriously.

"Can you hear me?"

Kiro sat up instantly, his eyes wide. He looked around, but he was alone in his room. Still, that voice… it was in his head.

"Who... who are you?" he thought, his voice trembling.

"Calm down. I am Radis, the legendary mage. I am... within you."

The voice, deep and wise, sounded like a distant whisper, yet unshakably certain.

Kiro couldn’t believe it. Radis? The Radis from the legends? How could this be possible? Why was he in his head?

"Radis... the legendary mage?" Kiro repeated in his mind, stunned. "But... but you're supposed to be... dead!"

"I am more than dead. I am here, within you, by choice." The voice grew softer, almost soothing. "I reincarnated into this body, into this world. And you, Kiro, are the one who will carry my power."

Kiro was overwhelmed with a flood of emotions—disbelief, doubt, fear—but also an odd feeling of excitement.

"Why me? Why am I the one to carry your power?" he thought, his hands trembling as they rested on his face.

"Because you are the one chosen. Maybe you're not ready for what's coming, but you will learn. It's time to begin, Kiro."

The young boy closed his eyes, trying to gather his thoughts. Radis, the voice, this legendary entity... and him, a simple teenager struggling with his magic. It was too much for him, too sudden.

"No... I can't..." he whispered softly, still in shock.

"You don't have a choice, Kiro. Your fate is now tied to mine."

Kiro sat on his bed, trying to understand what was happening. His world, his reality, had just flipped upside down. This wasn’t a dream. This wasn’t an hallucination. Radis, the great mage he had only known through stories, was now a part of him.

The voice in his head became more urgent.

"It’s time to start mastering your powers. We have things to do."

Kiro looked down at his hands. Fate had just knocked on his door. The magic he had always longed to understand—now, he had no choice but to accept it.
