[Winner in the April 2025 Royal Road Writathon challenge] Damion Wells has died, but he has been given the chance at a new life. In a new world filed with adventure, danger, and magic. Will Damion rise to his potential with the help of the Magic System and become the greatest mage ever? Or will his own impatience get him killed before he even relearns to walk? * * What to expect Regular releases - Monday through Friday Slow, but steady world building. A protagonist that doesn't always instantly kill something, though he will have his moments. Light LitRPG, no overwhelming you with damage numbers and stats Third person POV No harem, profanity only when it means something, no explicit scenes.
