Character[]
The protagonist of this work. A man with red eyes and hair. A man who wanted to use magic at 30 unexpectedly died, and when he awoke, he was reborn in another world. He was named Shion and was filled with the expectation that there would be magic in another world, but magic did not exist in that world. He longs for "magic" and is happy to be reincarnated in another world, but he despairs when he discovers that magic does not exist in this other world.
However, after discovering a supernatural natural phenomenon that could not exist according to the laws of physics in his previous life, he realized that "magic" exists in this world and began to research it.
He has a calm and rational personality due to his life experience as a reincarnated person. Even if someone ridicules or scorns him, he remains undeterred, steadily accumulating results and repeatedly achieving one success at a time, earning the nickname "the guru of researchers." On the other hand, when he makes a discovery or progress in "magic," he puts on a creepy smile.
Later we find out that he is not of the human race. In the past, when the war between demons and humans was waged, there was a race of mages with mixed blood between humans and demons (called "Rugure") who stood on the side of the humans. Still, their success sealed the demons and ended the war, but the kings of the human race, fearing their power, betrayed them and attacked them by surprise, slaughtering them while this race also became extinct.
When Shion was a baby, he was sacrificed as a spleen weapon to the royalty of a certain country, and his current parents took care of him and raised him. The peace continued and they were able to live as a family without fighting, but eventually, the seal was broken and a demon tribe appeared, and their peaceful life was shattered.

Abilities[]
"If there is no magic, why don't I create it by myself?"
― Shion Ornstein vow himself
A man who loved magic so much that he stayed a virgin until age 30 can't use magic after all, thus he searches to get magic, and thus he wakes up in the new world as a reborn child into an Isekai where there's no magic (as he thought). Because of this Shion became depressed and lethargic, but an event led him to discover the existence of magic through emotions (Fun, anticipation, excitement, happiness, etc.) and become the first pioneer of reviving magic. With this in mind, Shion began researching magic from that day onwards.
The Magic Research of Shion:
- Only affection to another triggers a magic effect that grants a warm light effect (
Aura
) to the user. By confession or saying "I love you/I like you (courting ritual)" to someone or a feeling of joy, along with an image that enchanted the body. A month has already passed since Shion reached the Demon Belt (Aura Coating) state. He learned a few things over the past month.- A certain amount of strong emotion is required to enter the obi demon state and that feeling is very difficult to maintain. It is difficult to sustain any emotion for a long time. As long as there is nothing extraordinary, that feeling will fade.
- There is a limit to the number of times that can be in the demon state in a day. Naturally speaking, magical power is limited. Therefore, the release will stop after releasing magic power to some extent. When that happens, it becomes lethargic at once and doesn't want to do anything. Once, the day when the mana was depleted was terrible. He spent the whole day sleeping because he had nothing to do. Not sick or anything, just lethargic.
- When the mana is released close to the limit, the amount of mana will increase a little next time. At first, the limit value of magic power was 5 times in the demon belt state. However, now it is possible up to ten times. For a month, every day, Shion maintained the demonic state until he was one step short of the limit. As long as it is not exhausted, it will not become completely lethargic, so there is no big hindrance to daily life. However, it becomes lazy and easily loses motivation, so it needs to be careful.
- Like the ball of light, the demon belt state was invisible to humans who had no talent for magic. He also learned that people with talent can see it, and he can feel the warmth when he touches it.
- Shion Experiment magic by fire. Summarizing the above four experiments, It can adjust the firepower according to the amount of mana, but it is not practical and dangerous because it burns your body. And it turns out that magical power seems to play a role like a combustible substance
- The amount of fire that burns changes depending on the amount of magical power released. The more magical power you have, the stronger the fire you can hold. The magic image and this part are the same. This is because powerful magic can be used along with the amount of magical power consumed.
- Shion tried various combustion, but it reacted with anything other than fire. If it gets too hot, it will probably ignite.
- Even if you touch it while in the demon state, it just burns normally. This is natural, but in the Demon Belt state, it was a reaction like a normal fire spreading to the human body. The color of the fire remains red. It burned normally.
- This is also related to gathering magic, but even if you cover a part of your body like a glove and gather magic, magic will be released outside your body through your clothes. And if you touch the fire in that state, the fire will also spread and the gloves will burn.
Shion keeps focusing and creating a new experiment that includes science, Magic power is a combustible gas, and oxygen is supplied which is first Shion creates a flint that acts as a wand to cast a blue flame. As far as his experiment he invented called Complex magic which combines 2 existing types of magic, it can multiply the power of the spell used. Shion has the lowest stamina, he can barely evade incoming attacks by relying upon physical boosts, but with his knowledge of understanding of everything and great obsession with the magic he can manufacture any items (magical items).
- There are four single spells: "Flare", "Bolt", "Aqua", and "Blow/Wind". Single magic is also called attribute magic, and it is the basic magic.
- There are two special magics, "Jump" and "Fall". Special magic is a derivative magic of a single magic. Jumping can only move a short distance, and the direction is not free. Fall is a magic that creates pitfalls at the target's feet by sending air to the ground. At the moment, you can only make a hole of several tens of centimeters or a dent.
Shion is the only remaining of the Rugure race, that only race can use magic. Because of this Shion has blood from both humans and demons flow on him even his magic capacity isn't normal compared to the human magic capacity like her sister Emma.
【Shion's Personal Equipments】 | |
---|---|
The first magic tool was created and it custom made for Shion because of his request to Blacksmith Glast. It's lightweight steel brass gloves that act as a wand because of the material that made them so light and easy to wear. The discovery of synthetic magic, and the results of this first experiment of Shion to create a magic tool in this world.

《Shion's Magic Experiment Spells》 |

The amount of mana released outside the body was adjusted incorrectly. Assuming that the total amount of mana released at one time is 100%, the limit of his current collection of magic is about 80%. Shion tried to release the 80% magical powers gathered in his right hand out of his body. But to release it, I had to leave the magic in his palm. The phenomenon of releasing requires energy, and since there is magic left in his palm, it can be released.
