The Water Magician

Ryo is delighted to be reincarnated into the fantastical world of Phi, where he thinks he’ll get to live a quiet life learning to use his newfound water magic. Going with the flow here, however, means something very different. Ryo is immediately pitted against the wild lands he winds up in and the slew of deadly monsters that call the remote subcontinent home. You’d think he’d forget about taking it easy when he’s stuck fighting for his life, but lucky for Ryo, he’s naturally optimistic, clever, and blessed with the hidden “Eternal Youth” trait. Twenty years pass in the blink of an eye, and each encounter along the way pushes him one step closer to the pinnacle of human magic. Little does he realize that’s only the opening chapter of his tale. A fateful meeting soon thrusts Ryo to the forefront of history, forever changing the course of his life... Thus begins the adventures of the strongest water magician the world has ever seen—who also likes to do things at his own pace!

Ryo’s life does a 180 after arriving in the city of Lune, where he spars with an expert sword-wielding elf, takes on guild jobs with Abel (his partner-in-adventuring), Abel’s party, and his roommates, and much more! Ryo never could have imagined discovering a whole different side of this new world! But then monsters spill out of the dungeon in droves and plunge the city into an unprecedented crisis. When Abel and his party set out to investigate, they’re forcibly transferred to the lowest level of the dungeon. There, they encounter a life-and-death situation against devils—creatures who eventually awaken as demon lords. The Handalieu Federation’s meddling and a confrontation with the Inferno Magician ratchet tensions up even more... With the dangers racking up one by one, Ryo finally gets serious?! “I won’t let you lay a single finger on this city or my friends.” Here comes the explosive second volume recounting the adventures of the strongest, freewheeling water magician!

Ryo is living his best second life in Phi and doing as he pleases. Ever the adventurer, he accepts an escort job for a merchant heading to the Principality of Inverey. Unfortunately, he forgot to withdraw money before leaving the Kingdom of Knightley, so he finds himself at a complete loss in its capital and penniless in a foreign land. In order to return to Lune where all his friends are, he takes on another escort mission, this time back to the Kingdom of Knightley...or so he thought! The job actually has him acting as the body double for a prince being targeted by assassins, but then the real prince ends up kidnapped anyway?! A major power’s ulterior motives and the real reason the prince is being targeted lurk in the shadows. However, to each and every problem that falls in his lap, Ryo’s solution is always simple: “I’ll bury anyone who gets in my way in the permafrost!” The adventures of the strongest freewheeling water magician continue in this frenetic third volume!

After escorting Prince Willie to the capital of Knightley, Ryo feels a weight lift off his shoulders. He’s even managed to secure a position teaching the young prince how to use water magic. Life couldn’t be better! Before long, Ryo and Sera happily go on a sweets tour together. The two of them bond as they visit the other elves, but after they go their separate ways, a horde of monsters emerges from underneath the Temple! And then while he and Abel are trying to find the cause of this outbreak, an “island” falls from the sky and crashes right through the royal castle! As one crisis crops up after another, Sera struggles to protect her friends and is attacked by a powerful opponent. “Do you really think I’ll let you hurt the people I care about?!” Ryo will use his superhigh-pressure water currents to stave off a scheming enemy nation that has bared its fangs! The adventures of the strongest, freewheeling water magician continue in this frenetic fourth volume!
