If you choose to be reborn, you will not have magic powers, but you will unlock a status window and a skill tree that you can use to give yourself new skills and abilities and improve your physical characteristics.

You’ll get the same thing if you choose to be reincarnated, however, magic will be a factor. And the age of the world will be somewhere like 50-ish years before the full rollout of the industrial revolution, technology-wise. (minor clarification, you keep your current knowledge either way)

However, you will not be the hero or the chosen one. You’re just going to be a person with a perk.

    Reborn as myself with my knowledge.

    Youth is wasted on the young.

    Young people don’t listen to old people. But, if the old person is myself, then I’ll listen… when I’m young again.

    Reborn, any day. I’m quite happy with my life, but this and being a multimillionaire through some minor investments in bitcoin, and a stat screen to minmax? 11/10

        No, it’s New Game+. You would start over back on the day that you were born.

        Your superpower in this case would be your ability to remember events that have happened over the course of your life and potentially profit from them or to change their outcome, that and the status board and its ability to upgrade yourself or to give yourself perks in the process over the course of your life.

      A crucial part of this is that there is an afterlife, so if there is some sort of judgment for you, whether beneficent or maleficent, that would be your alternative option.

    So new game in magic world or new game + in normal world?

    Do I have to be the chosen one in new game +? I’d do that if I don’t have the added responsibility of saving the world.

      If you’re of a certain age, you’d STILL have to save the world.

      Imagine you go back in time, to the year your born. You can’t even speak yet, but you know 9/11 is coming.

      If you try to warn others, they won’t believe you. But after it happens, they’d blame you. You’re the guy who knew 4 planes would be hijacked on one random tuesday.

      Because thats what 9/11 was before the planes hit. Just another random tuesday. Very calm. Nice pleasant weather. If you watch what the today show host says at 8am, he says “It’s Tuesday morning, the sun is shining, and it’s a nice quiet morning. Maybe a bit too quiet.”

      Oh believe me. That’s about to dramatically change!

      But how would you know that on Sept 9th 2001?

      So now you have a choice. Let thousands die on the day, and hundreds of thousands develop conditions related to the attacks. Ranging anywhere from mild, to lethal. Everything from a persistant cough, to aggressive cancer.

      But in choosing to save them, you most certainly go to max security federal prison.

      Or, you can pretend to be shocked when 9/11 happens. Knowing you let hundreds of thousands suffer.

      Your choice.

        You did this wrong. I would spend the time using the info I know to get massively rich very early and connect with people who can do something, and start working that front

    Going to a world of magic sounds pretty sweet, but only if I can remember that I once lived in a world without it. Otherwise, I’m just a schmuck in the only world I’ve ever known, and magic wont be any more fascinating than technology is today.

    The current world with knowledge would be more advantageous than a magic world from scratch.

    Reborn as myself. Once my vocal chords develop people will be amazed at the conversations they can have with a baby.
