The Rebirth of a Scientist

The Awakening of Science


Nobel Prize-winning scientist Shintaro Nagao, one of the greatest minds in human history, spent his final moments reflecting on science and compassion. Having developed a cure for cancer and advanced military technologies, he had greatly contributed to humanity. However, his life was cut short by an international assassin.


When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a different world. Now named Morris, he was reborn as a baby in a land ruled by magic and wonder. Yet his mind remained the same — he was still Shintaro.


From a young age, Morris showed a passion for science and began secretly studying the laws behind this magical world. In this society, knowledge was reserved only for the elite, while the general population remained ignorant. Unwilling to accept such injustice, Morris resolved to develop science in secret and enlighten the people.


On his 15th birthday, tired of secret experiments, Morris set off on a journey with his parents’ reluctant permission. His first destination: rural villages. There, he searched for rare books and knowledge. In one village, he found the chief’s daughter gravely ill, abandoned by the fearful villagers who believed her disease was contagious. Morris saved her life, using his knowledge and skill. In gratitude, the village chief offered Morris his daughter’s hand in marriage — a gesture that left the young scientist stunned. He was married to science, not romance.


Suddenly, tax collectors arrived in the village, seizing livestock and crops. When they attempted to take the chief’s daughter as a slave, Morris took action. For the first time, he deployed his AI-powered drone — a quiet, jet-like machine equipped with automatic weapons and a mini-bazooka. He drove the oppressors away, earning the villagers' admiration.


From that moment, rumors of a mysterious savior called the “Night Phantom” began to spread. Morris then journeyed into the feared Dark Forest, where he discovered the ruins of an ancient academy. Though shattered, it contained remnants of once-flourishing science.


Morris turned the ruins into his hidden lab, using the forest’s abundant resources to create advanced technology — including a stealth B-29 Superfortress bomber that could evade magical detection.


One day, he used this aircraft to save a group of magical knights under attack by goblins, cementing his legend.


The kingdom took notice. Spies and seekers began to search for the “Night Phantom,” but none dared enter the Dark Forest.


Soon, Morris and his allies would travel to the moon. A new age of hope, born at the crossroads of science and magic, was just beginning...


This was only the beginning.
