Arch Mage’s Stress Free Life after Reincarnation

Marduk, a retired archmage of the Intergalactic Association of Mages and Witches, has lived for a thousand years. After centuries of mastering magic, his position as the dean of the Galactic Academy of Magic has only left him frustrated and bored, dealing with hormonal students and their overbearing parents. Desperate for something new, Marduk turns to experimenting with forbidden magic—dark magic of souls and light magic of reincarnation. In a catastrophic moment, he opens a black hole and is sucked into it, finding himself reincarnated in the body of a comatose nobleman’s son, Nolan Anderson. Nolan, the fifteen-year-old heir of the powerful Duke Alpheus Anderson, had been bedridden for months, his weak soul unable to withstand the immense natural power his body possessed. When Nolan’s soul fades away, Marduk’s strong soul takes over, reviving the body but leaving the archmage in a world both familiar and alien—a world where magic and technology coexist in harmony. Now living as Nolan in a society where monarchy still reigns supreme, Marduk is free from the shackles of his former responsibilities. He has a new life, a new body, and an opportunity to experience all the joys he was denied in his previous existence. Determined to live life to the fullest, Marduk—now Nolan—embarks on a journey to make friends, find love, and use his vast magical knowledge to aid his new family, while navigating the complexities of a society that thrives on equality, technological advancement, and magical power. However, this new world holds its own challenges and secrets. As Marduk adjusts to his new life, he finds himself drawn to Nova Bright, the brilliant yet emotionally distant grandson of the Grand Duke. Their paths cross, and what starts as a chance encounter at a party becomes the beginning of a slow-burning romance that will challenge both their hearts and the world around them. In a world where magic and science blend seamlessly, Marduk must balance his desire for a carefree life with the responsibility of his newfound identity, while discovering the possibilities of love that had eluded him for so long.
