I Surrendered My Sword for a New Life as a Mage

There was once a man who dedicated himself to mastering the sword. On the verge of death after vanquishing a legendary dragon, he had no regrets about how he’d spent his life... except a lingering wish to be able to use magic. So, as a reward for his victory, he is reincarnated as young Soma Neumond in a world of spellcraft and sorcery―only to be informed that he has no talent for sorcery and never will! He never gave up on his dream in his past life, however, and he isn’t about to this time either. Whatever it takes, he’s determined to find a way to become a mage!

Soma, Aina, and Lina have begun their journey in search of a way to use magic. With no leads and no other means of making money, the three decide to register as adventurers at a guild. There they meet the mysterious Sierra, who tells them of ancient ruins where a mystical power lies dormant. Soma can’t pass up the chance that whatever it is might grant him the ability to use magic, but traversing the ruins will pit them against forces they don’t understand.
