Publisher's summary

For Noah Vines, death isn't the end. It's a weapon.

After standing around in the afterlife for thousands of years, Noah is all out of patience. When the opportunity to steal a second chance at living arises, he doesn’t hesitate.

Reincarnated into the body of a dying magic school professor, Noah finds that he took more than just a second chance. He got infinite. Every time he dies, his body reforms.

Lives are a currency, and Noah Vines is rich.

With countless variations of runic magic to discover and with death serving as only a painful soul-wound rather than a final end, Noah finally has a chance to wander the lands of the living once more.

This time around, he plans to get strong enough to make sure that he never has to wait around in the afterlife again.

With nearly 10 million views as a webserial, you can experience the definitive version of this smash-hit series on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Finally an actual portal fantasy without LitRPG elements

I’ve waited for so long to find an interesting and high quality portal fantasy that I thought it wont happen. But no, it is here. I absolutely love when MC is from our world gets into the one with magic.
Noah as an MC is great. He’s kind, smart and driven. And magic system in this book is very interesting. Some of its elements I would consider even unique. Which is pretty hard to accomplish.
I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves easy fantasy read

Fantastic

Recently picked up this, and anothwr book from an author I dodn't know on an Audible 2 for 1 sale. The other was awful, but this more than made up for it - an interesting magic system, compelling characters, and a setting I'm hoping to see a lot more of in book 2. Speaking of, the next three volumes are already up for pre-order, so not a huge wait there. Give it a try!

Cool magic system

The rune magic system is cool and the characters aren’t bad. I liked the story and will definitely be getting the next book that being said I’m not hooked on the people.
I think my problem with them was just a lack of development. While there is a couple of personal growth moments they are all somewhat one dimensional. We know the MC was a teacher but little else. You actually know more about the demon than you do him.
He sucks at waiting and drops various wisdom bombs through out, but how or why? It just leaves me wondering.
Still damn good story and narration.

Awesome magic system. Easy to understand but full of possibilities.

loved everything in the story, world building extremely limited so far though, MC appears to have little interest in learning anything but magic so far in his new world.

I’m down or this

Was not sure at the beginning but the length and content got me. I do hope the magic systems get explained a little better in the next book

Great start

Like the magic system, and story telling is good. MC with “ Memory “ loss allows us as readers to learn everything with him without it being thrown into our faces.

Fresh LitRpg Approach

Fresh LitRpg story with a different entry into the genre than most and a very different take on a magical university. Interesting and likable characters and, again, some new and less traveled approaches to various character tropes. Excellent work by the narrator here on the audible version as well. Really want to see the sequels on Audible as well.

Interesting take

Too summarize, it's something like a souls-like xianxia hogwarts. Can't wait for the next book.

The humor

Slow story progression. There were some parts that grew stagnant as the book went on.
