About this ebook

One day, Soma learns that he was reincarnated from a powerful swordsman. In this life, however, all he wants is to master magic!

When he learns that he has no skills at all in this life, he gets left behind by his family. With no magic spells, most would assume he'll never be able to cast even a single spell, but Soma isn't ready to take "no" for an answer...

Ratings and reviews

A decent fantasy story, though the stiff way the MC talks detracts from the story moreso than it sets up comedic gags. Still, it's a well-done OP protagonist story with good supporting characters and an interesting - if rather simplistic - world. Perhaps an artifact of translation, the chain of italicized "power words" used when skills are invoked seem to only loosely follow logic, particularly with the MCs skills often having extra chuni phrases strung in the middle for no real reason.

To be honest I think it's only 2 maybe 3 stars but I gave it 4 because the story line really is good. If you get the chance give it a read I don't think you well regret it.

it's worth reading can't wait for the next Volume.
