Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation

A man who wasted his first life is given a second chance in the most literal way. After dying in a moment that forces him to see what he became, he awakens as Rudeus Greyrat, a newborn in a world where swords and magic are real and where effort can actually change the outcome. He keeps the memories of his old failures, and the shame becomes fuel. Rudeus teaches himself language, devours books, and practices magic early enough to shock the adults around him. His parents, Paul and Zenith, see talent and danger in equal measure, so they bring in the wandering mage Roxy Migurdia to guide him before his curiosity burns everything down. Rudeus grows fast, not just in power but in the messy lessons he avoided before, friendship, responsibility, and the pain of hurting people even when he does not mean to. Work as a tutor pulls him into noble politics when he is assigned to the fierce Eris, and their clashing personalities turn into a harsh kind of partnership built on survival and grudging respect. Then a catastrophe throws Rudeus and Eris far from home, into unfamiliar lands where monsters, language barriers, and human prejudice are as lethal as any spell. They are joined by Ruijerd, a warrior with his own history and a name that makes strangers reach for weapons, and the three begin a long journey driven by one goal, get back, find their scattered families, and keep their humanity intact. Along the road Rudeus confronts temptation, trauma, and the consequences of power, learning that a new life does not erase old patterns unless he fights them every day.
