Plot
Ryou couldn’t believe his luck when he opened his eyes in the enchanting realm of Phi — a world brimming with magic, mystery, and the promise of a fresh start.
He retains the memories of his past life after being reborn, and the thought of finally enjoying a peaceful existence while honing his newfound water magic at a gentle pace fills him with joy.
However, the world of Phi quickly proves to be far more unforgiving than he imagined.
Rather than a tranquil haven, Ryou finds himself stranded in a savage, untamed region teeming with hostile creatures and wild landscapes that challenge his every step. From the moment he arrives, survival becomes his top priority as he battles wave after wave of deadly monsters that call the remote subcontinent home. Yet even as he fights for his life, Ryou clings to his easygoing nature — he’s clever, resourceful, and deeply optimistic by heart.
Unbeknownst to him, Ryou carries a unique and powerful hidden ability known as “Eternal Youth” — a trait that grants him an ageless body and the time to master his magical gifts beyond the limits of normal human capability. With decades at his disposal, Ryou gradually rises in strength, crafting spells, studying ancient tomes, and facing mystical beasts. Before long, twenty years pass as though they were days, and Ryou evolves into one of the most formidable magic users Phi has ever seen — all while sticking to his mantra of taking life at his own pace.
But just as he begins to settle into his legendary status, fate throws another curveball his way. A seemingly chance encounter catapults Ryou into a monumental event and places him at the heart of a conflict far bigger than anything he’s prepared for. What started as a personal journey of growth and self-discovery now becomes the opening act in a much grander story — one that will reshape the future of Phi itself.
