The Accidentally Reincarnated Magician Alright, let's get one thing straight: I'm not a hero. I'm not a villain, either. I'm just… Ren. The guy who got reincarnated by accident. Yeah, you heard that right. Accident. Some god out there screwed up, and now I'm stuck in this medieval fantasy world with a class that's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Magician. Can you believe it? Not a sorcerer, not a wizard, not even an illusionist. Just a plain old magician. You know, the kind who pulls rabbits out of hats and makes coins disappear. Except I don't even have a hat. Or a rabbit.
But hey, I'm not complaining. Well, not anymore. At first, I was pissed. I mean, who wouldn't be? You die, get reincarnated into a new world, and instead of being handed some overpowered ability or a legendary sword, you get… party tricks. The god who brought me here even had the nerve to apologize. "Sorry," he said, "I already have too many heroes in this world. You're just… extra." Extra. Can you believe that? Then he gave me a pouch of coins, told me to survive for a month, and poof—he was gone. No instructions, no guidance, no "here's how to not die in a world full of monsters and magic." Just… good luck, kid.
So, what did I do? I survived. Barely. I spent that first month scraping by, doing odd jobs, and trying not to get killed by bandits or wild animals. But then, something clicked. If the gods didn't want me here, fine. I'd make them regret it. I'd be a nuisance. A thorn in their side. And what better way to annoy the gods than by messing with their favorite people? That's right—the royal family.
Now, let me explain my magic. It's not exactly impressive, but it's versatile. I've got four basic spells, and I've learned to combine them in ways that make people think I'm some kind of magical genius. First, there's Minor Illusion. It lets me create small, visual illusions—like making an object look like it's floating, changing its color, or creating a simple hologram. The illusions are small-scale and short-lived, though. They can't interact with the physical world, and if someone touches them, they disappear. Still, it's great for distractions. Like the time I made a guard think there was a snake on the ground. He screamed like a little girl. Classic.
Then there's Sound Manipulation. This spell lets me produce simple sounds—like a bell ringing, a whistle, or, yes, a fart noise. The sounds are short-range and can't be too loud or complex. I can't mimic voices or create music, but it's perfect for messing with people. Like the time I made the prince's sword let out a fart noise every time he swung it. He locked himself in his room for a week after that one.
Next up is Minor Levitation. This one lets me lift small objects and move them slowly through the air. I'm talking really small—like a coin, a cup, or a crown. The heavier the object, the more mana it drains, and the movement is slow and clumsy. But it's great for making things "disappear" or creating the illusion of haunted objects. Like the time I made the king's crown float onto a dog's head during a banquet. The dog barked, the crown fell into a bowl of soup, and the king turned so red I thought he was going to explode.
Finally, there's Minor Enchantment. This spell lets me temporarily imbue an object with a simple magical effect. I can make a sword glow faintly, cause a chair to wobble, or make a ledger's numbers rearrange themselves. The effects are weak and short-lived, though. The enchantment breaks if the object is used too much or if someone dispels it. But it's perfect for pranks. Like the time I enchanted the royal treasurer's ledger to make all the numbers add up to "420." The look on his face when the king saw it? Priceless.
At first, my magic was pretty basic. I could barely light a candle without breaking a sweat. But the more I used it, the stronger I got. It's like… leveling up, I guess. Every time I pulled off a prank, I felt a little surge of power. My spells became more precise, more versatile. I started combining them in ways I never thought possible. That levitation spell I used on the king's crown? I've since upgraded it to lift slightly heavier objects—like, say, an entire banquet table. And that illusion spell? I can now create slightly more detailed holograms that last a bit longer. It's still not exactly "hero" material, but it's enough to keep me entertained.
The key to my magic is creativity. I've learned to layer my spells to create more complex effects. For example, to make the king's crown float, I used Minor Levitation to lift it and Minor Illusion to make it look like it was floating on its own. Then I added Sound Manipulation to create a faint magical hum, selling the illusion that it was a powerful spell. It's all about thinking outside the box.
Another example? The time I enchanted the prince's sword to make fart noises. I used Minor Enchantment to imbue the sword with a sound effect and Sound Manipulation to make the noise seem like it was coming from the sword itself. The prince was so embarrassed he locked himself in his room for a week. I was hiding in the rafters, laughing so hard I almost fell out.
Of course, the royal family isn't exactly thrilled with me. They've put a bounty on my head, sent guards after me, and even hired a few bounty hunters. But here's the thing: I'm not easy to catch. I'm always one step ahead, always thinking on my feet. And even if they do manage to corner me, I've got a few tricks up my sleeve. Literally. Like the time I used a smoke bomb spell—a combination of Minor Illusion and Sound Manipulation—to disappear right in front of a dozen guards. Or the time I enchanted a broom to chase a bounty hunter out of town. Yeah, I'm not exactly a threat, but I'm not exactly harmless, either.
But the king? Oh, he's losing his mind. At first, he thought I was just some petty criminal. Then he thought I was a spy from a rival kingdom. Now? Now he's convinced I'm some kind of demon sent to torment him. And honestly, I'm not doing much to change his mind. Like the time I enchanted his throne to play a loud fart noise every time he sat down. Or the time I made all the wine in the royal cellar taste like vinegar. He's even started consulting priests and mages, trying to figure out how to stop me. Spoiler alert: it's not going well.
So, that's me. Ren, the accidentally reincarnated magician. A guy with no grand destiny, no world-saving mission, and no real purpose. Just a knack for causing chaos and a love for messing with the royal family. And you know what? I'm okay with that. Because in a world full of heroes and villains, sometimes it's the guy in the middle who has the most fun. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a prank to plan. The king's birthday is coming up, and I hear he's got a thing for magic..
