Rex, a child prodigy. At the young age of 16, he already finished his study at a prestige college and now at the age of 20 in the middle of the night at his own house he lays on a puddle of blood, his blood.

Apparently, there's a criminal on loose and by some twisted fate, the criminal and the prodigy meet. At first, Rex doesn't know what to do, so he gets up from his bed to raise his hand and shows that he's not a threat but the criminal is in panic so when he saw Rex moves from his bed, he shoots him.

One minute after the incident when the criminal escape from Rex house. He chuckles "So this is how ill die, Pathetic" Even in the face of death he's not afraid. "This is how the 'Mad Scientist' will die, laying in his blood and not by some explosion or some experiment gone wrong".

'The mad Scientist' a nickname that was given by Rex friend, it's not because he's mad or even a scientist, no he's got that nickname because of his love to experiment on anything whatever that is. From the smallest thing like cola and mentos to inserting a virus at his company server just to see what will happen. He still got some more experiment on his backyard that needs tending but now it seems that his experiment-full life is coming to the end.

Rex wakes up and immediately touch his stomach where the bullet struck and to his surprise, there's no hole or even blood. First, he thought that was only a dream but when he looked around, he knew that is real since he wakes up inside a circle made by chalk-like material.

The circle is connected to another similar circle where some old man is lying unconscious or even dead. "Yups definitely dead". Rex said after he checks the old man.

The old man is wearing some sort of robe that looked like just Gandolf the black, he even has his staff laying beside him.

After checking around the room that looks like some sort of dungeon and reading all of the notes and books that is just laying around the room, he can deduct that the old man is a wizard or more exactly the Archmage of Genda whatever that means.

Rex knew that after reading the wizard note, the archmage is trying to swap his mind with his apprentice to prolong his own life.

After the mention of magic in one of the note, Rex is convinced that he is on a completely different world. After that, he starts to shouting 'status' or 'character screen' or other embarrassing things, but to his disappointment there's nothing.

With nothing to do and a new life to live, he comes out of the dungeon only to find himself inside a cabin in the middle of a forest.

"There must be something for me to eat in here" Rex search all around the cabin until he found some boxes that a surprisingly worked like a fridge, he knew that work like a fridge by feeling the different temperature inside the boxes.

After securing a food source, he starts to read all the books inside the dungeon and inside the cabin that is full of bookshelves to learn magic.

"So if I'm not wrong, magic is the process of manipulating mana to do what you want, the more impossible the action the more mana that is needed. For example when you want to create fire out of nothing the mana that is needed is more than when you create fire from charcoal. And then mana is an energy that flows through anything and importantly everyone. When using magic you must manipulate the mana within you to change the mana outside of you. Every creature in the world can use mana since mana is in every creature, the difference is the amount of mana each creature can store inside their body, for example, if mana is calculated by numerical value the average human body when being born is 100 mana and an average dragon when they just hatched have around 5000 mana. Luckily the world is fair so even when you are born with little mana you can always work to increase it, which is hard. Dang, this book is helping me understand magic and mana, but what I need to understand right now is how to manipulate mana."

Rex skims over so many books until he found what he is looking for. 'Magic 101' written by the archmage himself. "Now this is what I'm looking for". Rex said to himself with a happy tone.

"um, so I must look inside of me to find my core or something"

"What the heck its not working at all"

"Is this book even right"

Rex with the help of 'Magic 101' starts his journey on this new exciting world.
