Noah Adler

Reincarnated into the body of a poisoned magic school professor, Noah is given more than just a second chance at life. Every time he dies, his body reforms.

And this time, he plans to get strong enough to make sure that he never has to wait around in the afterlife again.

Noah was a nobleman. Born with an empty constitution, he was pretty much useless…Until he realises the World’s Greatest Secret. The verse they were living in— It was a freakin fantasy novel.
