New novel Plant Magic Lord is out! (1/10 chapters)

 

 

Awakening of the Previous Life

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

It happened suddenly. For a moment, a headache occurred, and a vast amount of knowledge flowed into my head. My hands trembled, and cold sweat appeared. However, those feelings soon settled.

This is the memory of my previous life. Hmm… it seems I was a reincarnator. And now I understand. This world is very similar to the VR MMORPG I played before. However, what I can recall are only fragmentary memories and magical knowledge. I vaguely remember the life I lived in my previous life. The knowledge from that life feels incomplete, but I can recall the magic well. Certainly, I was leisurely mastering magic inside the game. I can remember up to that point, but my memories are unclear. Well, I will probably remember more eventually. If I recalled everything at once, my head might explode.

In the previous life’s game, I thoroughly researched magic and was called the Great Sage. In my head, I have the magical knowledge I cultivated in that previous life. Right now, I have been kicked out from my noble family home.

“You can’t stay in this house any longer. Leave.” (Father)

Father said that while looking down on me with a truly cold gaze.

It was a month ago, but just recalling it makes my anger boil up. Failure. Disappointment. A man born by mistake into a noble family. How many times did my family say those words to me?

…I will definitely show them. I only have my magical knowledge, but that alone is enough.

“But… first, I need to do something about the house.” (??)

The walls were shabby, the desk and chair were broken, and there were leaks in various places. Leaving my room, I took another look at my situation.

Right now, I, Elt Nagash, am the fourth son of a Duke household and 15 years old. But currently, I have been expelled from my family home.

In the nobility, the innate magical aptitude you are born with is highly valued. Magic without aptitude cannot be used properly, no matter how much mana you have. Of the categories beginner, intermediate, and advanced, magic without aptitude can only be used at the beginner level. Therefore, the first priority is to find out what magical aptitude I have. If I have aptitude for combat magic, I am treated well, but if not, I am treated coldly.

My natural magical aptitude is [Plant]. It is a very rare aptitude, but it is not suited for combat and is considered difficult and unusable. People recognize it only as the ability to use a little bit of magic for daily life. Actually, if used well, it is an all-purpose magical aptitude. But it seems that knowledge is not known to others.

Anyway, I was ignored by my family since I was born. Plant magic aptitude is trash. I was regarded as the failure of the Nagash Household. And finally, when I turned 15, I was ordered to become the manager of a certain territory and was driven out. That territory has been neglected for hundreds of years, and no one live there. It is a complete hassle to get rid of me.

“Do not leave there until you make it a decent territory.” (??)

“If monsters attack, fight without running and die.” (??)

They sent me off with words so cold I wondered if they were really my family. They didn’t care if I died like a stray dog. However, in a sense, it is a good opportunity. There are no people, and I have a lot of free time. I can practice magic and build up my strength without interruption.

Just as I thought that, a gust of wind blew into the house. It was cold. The house was too shabby. I should fix it with magic for now.

This house and territory are like severance pay from my family. I am apparently free to do as I please, so I will remodel it without restraint. I went outside and focused power into my arm while pulling out my magical knowledge.

 

[Available Magic]

[Magic Fruit]

[Vegetable Generation]

[Fruit Generation]

[Large Tree House]

 

The perfect magic for now is… ah, the last one. I wonder if it will work the same way as in my previous life’s game… I have no choice but to try.

I concentrated my mind into my arm and chanted.

“[Large Tree House].” (Elt)

Green mana released from my arm was absorbed into the ground. Immediately the effect activated. A large tree appeared from the ground and covered the shabby house as reinforcement.

Success. It feels almost the same as my previous life. [Large Tree House] is one of the plant magics. It is a magic that creates a convenient house with furniture, but it is not appreciated in today’s world.

Plant magic is said to take time to get used to. Building a normal house would be faster. Only I, with knowledge from my previous life, can use it skillfully. However, one use of magic brings fatigue. I cast the spell well, but my mana is still insufficient. However, by using plant magic, I can produce mana potions endlessly. I can recover this fatigue quickly.

Alright, my immediate goal is to regain my former strength. By using and recovering mana repeatedly, I can grow efficiently. It will take some time, but that is no problem. With my years of knowledge, my method for the highest growth efficiency, I can become strong quickly.

The inside of the house had improved remarkably. The large tree formed floors and walls, effectively renewing the house.

Now, no wind blows in, and all leaks are fixed. The bed is fluffy with soft down and very comfortable to the touch. For now, I want to do something about this sluggish feeling.

Thinking that, a perfect magic came to my mind.

Alright, I will use this next. It is a forbidden magic in plant magic that restores mana.

I sat on the bed and again concentrated my power in my arm. I chanted.

“[Magic Fruit].” (Elt)

From the floor, small sprouts popped up. The sprouts quickly grew into small trees and bore red fruit like cherries. When I picked a red fruit, the small tree disappeared.

“All right. That’s also a success.” (Elt)

I felt a little more tired, but it was cast successfully.

My mana is about to run out soon. These red fruits become the ingredients for mana potions. I do not have equipment to make potions yet, but just eating the fruit restores mana.

I swallowed the red fruit in one bite.

It was sweet. I felt like I was eating something delicious for the first time in a long time. Since arriving here, I hadn’t eaten anything decent for a month. I had lived by gathering wild fruits and chewing roots. The fatigue faded, and I felt my mana recover somewhat. The fatigue was lighter than before using the red fruit magic.

This is the [Magic Fruit] magic. If mastered, I can recover mana endlessly. Using magic moderately and recovering with the [Magic Fruit] spell… That alone allows me to grow gradually. It is an endless cycle. It is a slow path, but my former self also became the strongest this way.

For now, step by step. I cannot accept dying alone in such circumstances. But now I am the expelled fourth son of a noble family. However, I have plant magic. I am not in a hurry. I feel only excitement when I think about the future.

…I will definitely make my family regret it.

I reaffirmed this vow in my heart.
