Reincarnation with AI (Unemployment-Free)

She is two years old.

As athletic ability improves.

Rudeus conquered the stairs and successfully discovered a new item on the second floor: a magic book.

The Magic Textbook, a textbook for magicians, records attack spells from beginner to advanced levels.

Of course, being a nobleman, there were four other books in the house.

"Travel Around the World" is a guidebook that lists the names and characteristics of countries around the world. Considering its medieval background, owning this book speaks volumes.

What farmer would voluntarily leave their land?

Medieval peasants didn't even have the concept of tourism. Leaving their hometown meant turning from peasants into refugees. If they were lucky, they could find a way to make a living again; if they were unlucky, they would die on the roadside.

Calling them farmers might be too civilized; serfs probably only left their small plot of land when they were fleeing for their lives.

The village of Bouyena only appeared relatively democratic and relaxed under Paul's administration.

"The Monster Ecology and Weaknesses of Fituya": The ecology of the monsters that appear in the Fituya region and how to deal with them.

It can be said to be a very practical survival manual, comparable to practical books such as "Postpartum Care of Sows" or "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual".

In a world where monsters exist, this is practically essential common sense for ensuring one's safety, and Rudeus likes it very much.

"The Legend of Percius" is a fairy tale about a summoning magician named Percius who, together with his companions, fights against a demon to save the world and stop evil from spreading.

Speaking of this, Rudeus knew who Percius was; this must be the dragon from the Sky City.

"The Three Musketeers and the Labyrinth" is an action-adventure story about three genius swordsmen from different schools who meet and explore a labyrinth together.

The last two were both action novels. Rudeus glanced through them briefly and, to be honest, they weren't very interesting. Compared to books like "Travel the World," which had practical value, they were even less useful.

Because of his memories from his past life, Rudeus couldn't relate to either of these novels at all, let alone develop any yearning for adventure after reading them; he simply didn't have the patience to finish them.

Perhaps reading these books would greatly help in understanding Paul, since the development of people's spiritual civilization is also very important. Using these two novels as a starting point would be a good choice, but Rudius was not interested.

Take bedtime stories, for example. When Paul was a child, he probably listened with great excitement and begged his parents to tell him the next chapter.

But Rudius never had any desire for so-called adventure. When he heard these two novels, he could only say that he had no yearning for adventure whatsoever, only a longing for sleep.

Rudius: "Shall we tell the story of Percius today?"

Rudius: "Mommy, hug me."

Paul scratched his head: "This kid falls asleep so quickly..."

Then the couple started trying to conceive.

Therefore, at least in terms of priority, Rudius placed these two novels last.

Magic can be broadly divided into three categories: offensive magic, healing magic, and summoning magic.

Rudeus remembered that in the original story, old Rude said that magic was omnipotent.

Ultimately, it may even be able to travel through time and space and manipulate gravity.

However, this textbook only states that magic is something that arises and develops in battle, and it also says that a person's total magical power cannot increase, which is, of course, wrong.

To use magic, one must possess magical power; however, there are no other requirements, and anyone can use magic.

You can use the magic within your own body, or you can use magic extracted from substances containing magic.

There are two ways to activate magic: chanting and magic circles.

According to the book, even the simplest incantation used to take one to two minutes, so magic circles were the mainstream method of casting spells.

It wasn't until a certain mage successfully reduced the casting time significantly, shortening even the simplest casting time to about five seconds, that offensive magic began to rely solely on casting.

This is, of course, primarily a result of considerations from a combat perspective.

In the ever-changing battlefield, time is life.

This is why almost everyone's profession is that of a warrior.

Mages are destined to only have an advantage in large-scale battlefields and when they can maintain an effective distance.

At close range, simple spells are easy to cast but useless, while complex spells don't have time to be cast. It's safe to say that being caught in close combat by a warrior is a death sentence.

In a world without job-based reincarnation, mages are really not strong.

Unfortunately, Rudeus could not become a warrior.

The power used by warriors is called battle aura, although it is essentially the same as the power used by mages, both being magical energy.

However, because Rudeus possesses the Laplace factor, he has immense magical power, but he cannot bind that magic to his body, meaning he cannot use aura.

In short, let's start with the simplest magic.

Although magic textbooks record both magic circles and incantations, Rudeus's goal is to create magic without incantations, so he naturally chose incantations.

Magic in this world is quite easy to activate.

All you need to do is chant when you have magic power, and the magic will activate.

Rudeus picked up the magic textbook with his left hand, placed his right hand over the prepared wooden barrel, and began to read the words in the book:

"May the great protection of water descend upon the place you seek, and may cool, shallow streams appear there—[Water Ball]."

I could feel the magic concentrating in my right hand, and then it was expelled from my body, forming a water sphere the size of a fist in front of my right hand.

With a moment of relaxation, the water sphere lost its strength and fell into the wooden bucket.

Although this is a spell that launches water bullets, Rudeus only needs to train his total magic power and practice casting without incantation, so he doesn't need to fully activate it.

If I remember correctly, this was the first magic that Loki demonstrated in the anime.

That water ball, the size of an adult's fist, easily shattered the sapling that Senis had carefully nurtured; the scene was far more than just bruises and welts.

Although it was a small tree, the trunk was shattered on the spot. Given Rudeus's current two-year-old juvenile form, being hit like that would at least send him to the brink of death.

If no one quickly casts a healing spell on Rudeus, he'll probably have to sit down for a cup of tea, then see if it's getting too late, and maybe just stay at the King of Hell's house...

Of course, even setting aside the almost impossible safety risks, making noise is still bad. In the original story, the male protagonist revealed his magical abilities by blowing up the house.

Rudius closed his eyes, recalling the feeling when he had just cast the spell. Because he was mentally prepared, the memory of the whole process was still very clear.

At the same time, during his growth, Rudeus's understanding of various levels of body tissues also made him clearly aware of the similarities and differences between this newly emerging magic, nerve signals, and muscles.

Open your eyes, look at your right hand, concentrate your mind, and use your senses to draw upon the magic within your body.

A water sphere formed again in his right hand.

Rudius tried launching it just a little bit, and the water ball traced a parabola like the one used for urination before falling into the barrel.

Learning magic is surprisingly easy, and spells without chanting are also quite simple.

Although this was just enough to make a water balloon and drop it on the ground.

After some thought, I realized that the barrier to learning magic might be literacy and knowledge; the literacy rate in this world isn't actually that high.

In addition, this world has a background that reveres warriors and despises mages.

At the same time, the textbook states that the total amount of magic power cannot be forged. It feels like Aristotle's saying that "two iron balls cannot fall at the same time." It is clearly wrong, but it is the truth before Galileo proved it with facts.

It can be said that this is another barrier that needs to be overcome.

Speaking of Galileo, Rudius suddenly thought that magic itself might also be a kind of science, just in a different world and with a different name.

Just like how Rudeus didn't know he was Rudeus at the beginning, how do you know that this thing called "magic" in this world is not the thing called "science" in your original world?

Just because of the different names?

In other words, in this world, the scientific theory that truth comes from practice is universal, and Rudeus can treat magic as a science.

When faced with existing "truths," one can arrive at one's own answer through practice.

As for why no one has ever achieved spells without chanting, that's even simpler.

Judging from the examples of Silphie and Loki in the original work, this is probably related to physical development. Just like humans have a sensitive period for language, there is also such a sensitive period for art or sports.

Once you miss it, you can never reach the same height again.

All of this is closely related to the development of brain nerves.

In the context of the Middle Ages, there would obviously not have been such a deep understanding of anatomy, and people at that time probably considered the destruction of corpses taboo.

This is not difficult for modern people. With the help of AI, Rudius not only understands it, but he can even write a very professional article to explain it all.

But what about the jobless world?

With healing magic at play, progress in anatomy would probably be even more difficult.

Rudius tried to continue making water balloons, but a wave of fatigue washed over him, causing him to lose focus for a moment.

It seems my MP is about to run out.

However, experiencing the feeling of having all your magic power depleted is also very important.

So Rudeus continued using magic, and then immediately lost consciousness...
