Plot

A 34-year-old Japanese NEET is kicked out of his house following the death of his parents. He intercepts a speeding truck heading towards a group of teenagers and pulls one of them out of the way before dying. Awakening in a baby's body, he realizes he has been reincarnated in a world of sword and sorcery. While initially indulging in his perversion, he resolves to become successful in his new life, discarding his past identity for his new life as Rudeus Greyrat. Due to his genetic factor and early training, Rudeus becomes highly skilled at magic. During his childhood, he becomes a student of Roxy Migurdia, friend to Sylphiette, and teacher to Eris Boreas Greyrat. Shortly after, a teleportation catastrophe scatters many people around the world, and Rudeus resolves to escort Eris home. During his journey, Rudeus receives advice from the mysterious Human-God and befriends Ruijerd Supardia. Successfully escorting Eris home, a misunderstanding with her leaves Rudeus heartbroken.

Two years later, the incident with Eris has made Rudeus impotent. He enrolls in Ronoa Magic University under the Human-God's advice to cure himself. There, he is reunited with Sylphiette who cures his impotency and the two are wedded shortly after. Rudeus receives a request to join his father's quest to save his mother, and ignores the Human-god's advice to do so. During the quest, he develops a romantic relationship with Roxy and takes her as his second wife. He is then visited by a dying future version of himself, warning him the Human-God will cause the deaths of everyone he cares. In order to appease the Human-God, Rudeus attempts to kill a warrior named Orsted but fails. Instead, Rudeus offers his allegiance to Orsted after being promised the safety of his family. Working with Orsted, Rudeus makes preparations in order to have his descendants kill the Human-God.

In an alternate future, where the Human-God killed everyone he loved, a driven Rudeus fails to enact revenge, and travels back in time to warn his past self instead.WN 16.156 Because of his special reincarnation, Rudeus is immune to curses, allowing him to befriend Ruijerd Supardia and Orsted;WN 17.166 this immunity is also passed down to his descendants.

Publication and conception

Rifujin na Magonote published his work on the online web novel website, Syosetu; the first chapter was uploaded on November 22, 2012.[3] In November 2013, the author announced his work was to released as a light novel under Media Factory's MF Books imprint; regardless, the author stated his intentions to continue publishing his chapters online.[4] The illustrator for the light novel is a Pixiv user called SiroTaka.[5]

After publishing the first parts of his work, Rifujin wrote that he intended the series to last at least a hundred chapters.[6] Due to criticism towards his work, Rifujin considered ending the series prematurely, but was inspired to continue when his work reached the first place on Syotsu's daily rankings.[6][7] Originally, the story arc where Rudeus' reunites with Aisha was supposed to be completely different from the published work.[8] The author intended to have Lilia die off-screen, and Aisha to be hiding under a different identity. However, he found Lilia's death to be anti-climatic, and decided against her death; as a result, he had to rewrite the story arc in order to have her survival and lack of contact make sense. Rifujin stated the story arc may be bizarre due to the changes, but expresses no regrets in his decision; he noted Lilia's survival made him reconsider Zenith's condition in the story.[8]
