The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage Trade Skills
After traveling for almost an hour from the train station Sarah and William finally arrived outside a large and beautiful villa. Made from stone and timber, its design highlights skilled craftsmanship. The interiors featured artisanal furniture, antique rugs, and large fireplaces, ensuring a warm and inviting atmosphere. Tall windows with wooden shutters fill rooms with natural light, while the simplistic design encourages simple living. Outside, a sprawling garden blooms with a riot of flowers and fruit trees, and a large magical pond filled the backyard with clear water which gave off faint magical fluctuations. Quickly after arriving, William inspected the new house under scrutiny, it was rather simplistic in design but that was the beauty of it, it was not grand like a castle or large family manor but took up a large amount of land for a large city like Starweave. A large part of the property was the main house where the residents would eat, sleep, and interact with each other.
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage Alchemy Lessons
After discussing various trade skills for a short while Sarah and William returned to the main house where various servants came at a specified time to cook their dinner and clear the villa. After a short dinner without anything happening, they both went to bed where William infused his tome with mana before going to bed and after waking up. He kept some mana for emergencies so that his recovery rate was not inhibited but the mana-related functions of the human body act similarly to muscles in that using and training them will over time strengthen them to a certain degree. After doing that he went to the alchemy building which looked like a cross between a brewery and a greenhouse, after taking inventory and checking the equipment more in detail, he waited for Sarah to arrive for the alchemy lesson they agreed he would give her the day before. Truth be told, he was somewhat looking forward to teaching her alchemy, in his past life his primary trade skill was alchemy but because
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage First Potion
Arriving at a work table filled with ingredients there were a variety of tools laid out with various purposes, from clippers to cut small branches of wood to a squeezer to juice fruits, almost anything related to processing ingredients was present. With Sarah standing next to him, William picked up a stock of a plant she did not recognize and began speaking. "These are the basic tools you will need for preparing most ingredients for the brewing process, this part is very important since some plants only need specific parts for the potion and any other unneeded parts will lower the quality of your potion." Picking up a small wooden branch and what looked like a peeler he began peeling the bark off the small branch while speaking. "This is a small branch of Moon Ash, one of the ingredients for a commonly seen intermediate healing potion, it is very important to shave off all of the bark because we will be leaving it to soak in our solvent to give it very weak healing properties. In
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage The Alchemy Guild
After having Sarah begin making the intermediate healing potion William stood to the side and watched without any reaction to any of her actions, all he was answer any questions she had regarding the potion recipe. Unlike himself who finished preparing the ingredients and infusing the solvent in around 30 minutes, it took her over an hour, still for a person's first time it was very impressive. After everything was ready she moved to the brewing table and began doing what she recalled seeing William do, although it seemed simple she quickly found it much harder than she originally thought. Similar to how the preparation took longer, the brewing took over twice as long as well, and by the end of the process, there was a completed product. Most people would fail dozens of times before making their first potion from scratch but she actually completed it the first time, watching William was also impressed by her. Factually speaking though, that finished product looked somewhat ques
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage The Morning Shift
Sitting behind an oak desk while looking at a book that described many essential alchemy ingredients a boy who looked like he had just reached adulthood had his feet up while aimlessly flipping pages and vaguely learning what was on the pages. In all manners of speaking the boy looked completely average, maybe even slightly below, in a world with many knights who had very bulky physics his twig frame made him unattractive to the female gaze while simultaneously appearing like a weakling to other men. Yes, he was a mage, a mage with an unsymmetrical face and soft facial features, his only saving grace was that he was an alchemist or at least almost an alchemist. While mindlessly passing the time, the boy named Rory suddenly had his attention drawn to a short girl who entered the registration section of the first floor, she was just under 5 feet tall and was not overly beautiful but was still cute to the extent of being hit on at work weekly. "Jean, you are almost 15 minutes late a
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage Alchemy Examinations
After leaving the registration office Sarah followed Jean as she was led down a hallway and up a flight of stairs, despite receiving many looks from passersby she stayed proud like the noble daughter she was. In truth, usually, a duke's daughter would be greeted by a brank chief or high-ranking individual upon arrival but he father had instructed her to join like an average person to avoid getting too involved in internal dealings with the guild. While the two continued to walk toward their destination Sarah was momentarily distracted as she someone with a very unusual outfit, although she only saw the person's back for a split second she could easily see a blonde woman slightly shorter than her wearing a black and gold leotard that seemed to dig into her crotch along with a pair of stockings and a witches hat.Seeing that, Sarah was somewhat dumbfounded, usually, mages wore reasonably conservative clothing with the riskiest things being skirts that end around the knees, in fact, sh
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage An Alchemy Exam is Easy for Some
While Sarah was taking her apprentice alchemist exam William was lead to a small room by one of the employees and given tea and pastries. It has to be said that rich and powerful people are treated completely differently than normal people who have to stand around and wait, because of his affiliation with the Goldridge family he was treated like the owner's son. Realistically it was not a big deal and in someways he would rather sit out and listen to what other mages in the guild talked about. In truth he was still imcredibly ignorant to many things in this world, the current social situation and news about the world that is not important enough to be main stream. It took a little under two hours before a middle aged man with thick glasses and a very thin frame walked into the small room William was staying. "Hello Mr. William, my name is Anton and I will be administering your offical alchemist certifiction test, I have been informated that you have not taken an apprentice test b
The Ridiculous Life of the Reborn Mage Some Prodigies are Just Different
When Sarah heard a commotion down the hallway, she was slightly distracted by it and briefly turned to see what was going on. At that moment, William and Anton walk around a corner and could be seen, walking behind them a handful of middle-aged and older people following them and making a scene. Judging from the badges on their clothing, all were officially certified alchemists. Numbering around 6 it was the highest number of certified alchemists Sarah had seen together since entering the guild earlier that day, clearly something abnormal was going on. When he arrived before Mary he gave Sarah a nod before presenting the woman with a wooden rack containing multiple vials of a mesmerizing purple liquid, the onlookers were all solely focused on the dark purple liquid that seemed to have a slightly metallic sheen. Sarah was no different as she had never seen a potion quite like this one in all her life, as the heiress of a duke's house she was the definition of pampered and had acce

The Nature of Precognition
Looking at the beautiful woman who had approached the duo, William and Sarah were stunned. They had never expected someone to say such a brazen thing to either of them. Recovering quickly, Sarah looked at her from a distance. "Did you really just say that to someone the first time you laid eyes on them?" Seeing Sarah for the first time, she looked at her without any emotion. "Is he from your family? Well, I need him to spend the night getting me pregnant today; if he is promised to someone else, I can compensate your family for taking him." "May I ask who the person who wants to have a child with me is?" Turning to look at him, the woman revealed a small smile. "My name is Stephany Windstorm; I was invited here by Princess Natalia; she and I are good friends." "And you want to have a child with me; why?" "I apologize if it seems abrupt, but I had an epiphany a short while ago and realized I wanted a child. Since then, I have been feeling pulled here. Once I saw you, I knew I h

This is a party hosted by Royalty?
The following day, William woke up with the sun high in the sky and let out a groggy yawn, the events of the night and morning before playing out in his mind. Thinking about his overflowing passion, he became slightly embarrassed before looking to the side to see Sarah still sleeping; she looked beautiful under the sheets and peaceful. William had not taken any other potions in this life, so the Enchanter's Ember essence he had taken the past few days had taken effect, and his mana sensitivity improved somewhat. He didn't want to disturb her, so he injected much mana into the Tome of Arcana. Feeling the frosty feeling of mana being siphoned out of him at a rapid rate, William was left marveling at the time. He was sure it was an item with many secrets. After that, William went and had lunch prepared by the staff. He liked the way the villa was set up. The staff only came to deliver meals and clean them up, waiting for the people living there to go out to enter and leave the house

A pinch of gold can tip the scale of fortune
As mana continued to swirl around the dining table, creating a stationary tornado of invisible might, William could feel the world around him changing from a charcoal sketch to a vibrant watercolor. Everything seemed more substantial, and the world became more lively. As his perception changed, his senses were bombarded with feelings of euphoria more intense than any sexual experience possible, the hair on his body brushing against his clothing sending shocks through his body as he was lost in a sea of unprecedented pleasure. After nearly 10 minutes, the vortex of mana finally abated as he adjusted to the changes in perception. As he opened his eyes, he could see the dining room mostly intact, with small objects near him pushed away and the dining table pushed a few inches. Around 6 feet away from him, Sarah stood there staring at him, waiting for the phenomenon to end. When he spotted her, he fully realized the extent to which his vision had changed. His eyesight didn't get bet

Everyone has their own Motivation
William stood up the following day, gazing out the large window of the master bedroom, and let out a turbid breath. Looking back at the bed, he saw Sarah sleeping blissfully and a couple of empty potion flasks on the bedside table. Do many young men not dream of such a sight? When boys begin the path to power, many boys have a ridiculous goal of having many beautiful lovers who will unconditionally love them. In reality, William was similar in his younger years; growing up in a non-magical middle-class family, he would often dream of charming a princess, spending the rest of his life in bliss within some elegant palace, and having many children. Looking back at the beginning of his previous life, he couldn't help but be emotional; what would he of that time think if he saw the scene of the daughter of a duke begging for me? Well.... It's probably best he didn't see that. Then his mind went to the potion flasks; they had once contained Enchanter's Ember Essence; this potion dr

A Mage's Life
Caspian looked down at the new wand he had previously bought; the beautiful ash wood stick held a rune-etched copper core and would be his new weapon on his current expedition into a large section of ancient Dupont Empire ruins. While sitting in his carriage he practiced drawing the wand quickly, acquainting himself with the feeling in preparation for emergencies. schlick schlick After practicing for a few minutes and getting a feel for the new 13-inch long wand he holstered it and lamented on the reality of being a mage from a middle-class family. Many mages he knew from noble families had this quality wand while still in the academy. Still, he could only afford it after working a dangerous job for almost a decade. He would be middle-aged soon! Thinking about this, Caspian slightly smiled when thinking about his current exploration; although the time commitment might be a little long, at least a month, maybe two or three months if it went long, he would earn as much as he wo

Thoroughly Provoked
On the carriage ride back to the villa they were living in, Sarah was feeling highly peeved. People without much experience in noble circles might miss it, but she was well aware that Princess Natalia was continuously disrespecting and attempting to provoke her. From the moment she invited herself to join their private dinner until the end, the princess talked down to her many times and openly flaunted her wealth like a law-class businessman who had just closed their first big deal. If only their statuses were more similar, she would have been able to respond with righteous indignation; unfortunately, she was a princess of an empire while she was merely the daughter of a duke coming from a small country in the surrounding area. In truth, without her own academic and magical success, Natalia would definitely not care about someone like her, but since she took notice and seemed to acknowledge her as some sort of rival, she acted so rudely. Thinking about this, Sarah was enraged;

Royalty are a Headache
"I am sorry to interrupt, but are you Sarah Goldcrest by chance?" Hearing the soft female voice who approached their table, William turned his attention to the young woman next to their table. After a cursory glance, anyone could tell she was a rare beauty, with dark gray hair flowing down to her low back and pitch-black eyes that seemed to hide a dark secret. Seeing her arrive, Sarah stood up to greet her. "Good evening, Your Majesty; I am Sarah Goldcrest; it is an honor to meet you." It did not matter what number of princess she was. Royalty had to be treated a certain way. "It is good to meet you as well; who might this gentleman be?" "Hello, your majesty. My name is William Sterling; it is a pleasure to meet you." Natalia was dressed in a black lace dress that ended at her knees, contrasting with her pale skin to create a charming appearance. "Nice to meet you as well, William. Do you guys mind if I pull up a chair? I have something to speak to you about briefly." Hear

Reflections in the Labyrinth of the Self
Humans can be bizarre creatures, changing between kindness and cruelty at the drop of a hat, pursuing a noble cause to engaging in debauchery on the same night. Like this, the only constant in human behavior is eternal change, sometimes evolution and sometimes degeneration, humans will always seek novelty. People often create suffering where it does not exist and find happiness in the depths of despair; only with something to compare to can people truly experience the vivacities of life. It did not even take until their main course arrived before William and Sarah experienced the strangeness of humanity. The table with a group of young men and a single young woman suddenly became route abruptly. "Say that again Anton! I dare you to say that again!" "I said, "At least I did not sex traffic my own sister," what are you going to do about it?" Upon hearing that the entire dining room went completely silent, William, who was enjoying his appetizer, a light vegetable soup, frowned

A Late Lunch or an Early Dinner?
After leaving the alchemy guild, William and Sarah returned to the carriage that had brought them originally. It was situated less than a hundred meters away, and the coachman, an older gentleman named Oliver, was waiting for them. William had talked with him a few times and understood that he was Sarah's primary guard while living outside the country and was a very competent mage. Although he did not live in the villa with them, he would accompany them whenever they left for protection. As they got into the carriage, Sarah turned to William. "We should go to a nice restaurant to celebrate doing so well. Do you have anywhere you would like to go?" Hearing her question, William couldn't help but feel a little weird being treated like this but didn't overthink it. She was a wealthy noble daughter, and he was a broke kid from a working-class family. Even with his knowledge, it didn't change that he was currently lacking in his means. Realistically, he had been waiting for the potio
