- Plot
Lucas Traumen, known as the greatest mage in history, is the most powerful being in all of humanity. His power surpasses human limits, even breaking the rules of the world. This led the Demi-gods – powerful entities from the chaos, representing the world’s laws, worshipped by humans – to intervene and seal Lucas into the chaos. Thus, the most powerful being of humanity was defeated. However, ultimately, they are merely Demi-gods, still subject to certain laws of this world created by the creator. Therefore, they conspired to dominate humanity thousands of years ago, seeking ways to break free from those constraints.
After being sealed for 4000 years, Lucas’s soul suddenly connects with Frey Blake – the weakest among humans, abandoned by his family and bullied. At the moment when Frey falls into despair and attempts suicide, Lucas is reincarnated into his body. Now, the great mage truly returns after 4000 years, given a new chance by Frey and beginning his revenge. Despite 4000 years passing, magic in this world has not progressed, and humanity has even become weaker, with no mage reaching the 9th stage. Perhaps the Demi-gods are behind this. Now, Lucas is determined to reach the peak once again and defeat those Demi-gods, while also uncovering the truth about this world.
- Review
The story starts off quite familiar to many fans of fantasy or cultivation genres. The reincarnation of a character into a distant future is not uncommon, but the real highlight of the story lies not in its beginning but in its subsequent plot. In the future, we will see the main character rapidly becoming stronger, soon reaching the ninth stage and becoming a great mage. Moreover, in this life, he also receives a special opportunity. This is the key factor that allows his power to surpass his previous life and rival the Demi-gods.
Furthermore, the antagonists the main character later faces are powerful entities, with the “God” being the highest existence, the leader of the Demi-gods. The antagonists of the story are well-developed characters, always having a deep connection to events. Even Lucas’s ability to enter Frey’s body is not random; Frey’s lineage seems to be related to the Demi-gods, and there are still many mysteries we don’t know about. You should read the story and find answers for themselves.”
