Next Life (ネクストライフ, Nekusutoraifu) is a Japanese Light Novel series written by Jin Aino with illustrations by Manyako and Saki Ukai. A manga adaptation with art by Tokage Ichikura is serialized in Shonen Ace as of May 26, 2017.

Overview

The genre is game world trip.

It is a story that the strongest hero plays an active part with overwhelming strength, and the struggle is only twice in the final stage. There are many heroines, but most of them are in the air. The content of the book version is completely different, and it is significantly weakened compared to the version that will be the main character.

It surprised the people of Thread because the level was so high that it was incomparable to the version with no text. As an aside, this seems to be the editorial policy of Hero Bunko, as the main character tends to be weakened or the enemy is strengthened in other works published by Hero Bunko.

In addition, the high circulation of 60,000 copies in the first edition became a hot topic. In Naro Thread, it is often called a "barista", which is derived from the overwhelming violence of the barista in the work.

Synopsis

Yamada Takashi lost his life in the snowy mountains — that is what he thought, but he then appeared in an unknown place; another world that looked like the game he played. Moreover there are many things that he doesn't know…. While puzzled, he still retains the strongest class ability and is relieved.

High rank magician, [Wise man] Marius is still living till today.

Annette lives with the monsters Kobolts and Orcs, and her hero also lives with twists and turns.

Ben of Kobold spends calm days for about two months, teaching words to the main character and Duran of Orc working diligently to take care of everyone, but one day, a group chasing Annette appears and tells a story. Is a sudden change. It's exciting to see why she's being targeted, why Kobolts and Orcs protect her, and how her protagonist survives this pinch.

In a different world of swords and magic, a second life begins as a high-ranking wizard, Marius. Marius became Schneider's wizard to find out why Annette was being chased. Pedra, a mysterious beauty near Michael, the lord of the Schneider family, notices Marius's magical power and invites her to her laboratory. Marius and his group, who defeated Pedra, the demon of Arlaune who was chasing Annette, decided to head for the city of humans.

Duran and Ben also impersonate humans with the magic of Marius, and the four of them look for a job to earn a living. To go to the Kingdom of Wester, where Marius and his party are hiring a monster tamer, they first head to the Duchy of Wigaro, Kingdom of Holdia.

• In the game, a higher-ranking job can be achieved by experiencing multiple witch-related jobs. One of the popular jobs is to learn many powerful skills such as reduction of consumption magic power, an increase of recovery magic power, improvement of magic power, complete invalidation of confusion, etc. By the way, since he is a wise man and has one job, it is correct to treat Marius as having only one job.

A systematic magic that Marius is good at and the power of a spell that invokes will increase as twice or more, because of the system of the previous game he played the status isn't existed in the new world only apply to Marius. He is good at combining two to three spells or more (《Dimension Shield》 + 《Flight》+《Megiddo》) in battle giving him a unique style in battle and destructive method.

Marius can do a tactic used not for one-on-one combat situations, but for battles where many are mobilized, and method that he uses reasoning and common sense of danger with regards to the study of base logic and facts.
