Reincarnated as a Genius Prodigy of a Prestigious Family (manwha until chapter 39) - summary

Reincarnated as a Genius Prodigy of a Prestigious Family

a very brief summary of chapters 1 to 20, mc reincarnates as a baby of the enemy country. mc bears no ill will but is happy to have been rebornntona loving family. somehow, mc is actually a genius pre-reincarnation but due to his upbringing only got so far. now mc is having a better fanily, mc's genius can go beyond that what he was. from just a swordsman previously, mc after reincarnation is now talented in the spears, magic and more. mc also has a loving family unlike before. mc also got a childhood friend, odd enough as fate is playful, mc's first friend is the daughter of the duke who killed him before his reincarnation. although mc bear no ill will, he just wants to win against the duke, much like to say he lose the first time because he lived a disadvantageous life.

training days: mc training spearmanship from his father; mc is innately good with the swords, since he is a swordsman before reincarnation; mc learns ranger skills as well as assassin techniques from his mother; mc learns magic upto tier two from a magic tower head they rescued.

mc is close to his magic genius sister, not much was show with his summoner genius sister except for the egg for a familiar.

it is also show mc is capable at many fields, magic, summons and different styles of fighting.

chapter 20 sets mc on a journey to the capital. to leave home and go to the capital and enroll to an academy where he will further grow his talent. mc is looking forward to meeting his sister, the duke and his childhood friend, and most importantly the academy.

(somehow, mc keeps mentioning he has hatred to the country he was reincarnated to. things to remember, mc got reincarnated to enemy side of the one he was previously with, yet somehow his actions and how he takes it in seemed different to me as a reader)

chapters 21 to 30, is the reunion with the duke's daughter, mc's childhood friend, and also with the duke. in these chapters the whole admission, entrance exam took place. mc got first place and also became the second of only those who passed for a special exam (autonomous major), where mc could go on to learn not just one specialty but able to freely chose and learn anything/multiple majors. mc really wants to expands his horizon. chapter 30, is about being accepted as an autonomous student by the head of the major. mc passed and got accepted.

chapter 31, hazing for mc as a new student for the top grader dormitory. chapter 32, mc gains new peers from the residence of the top grader dormitory.

chapter 33, start of classes. first subject military science. mc's experience before reincarnation is a big help.

chapter 34, secret in the academy. a garden tour, a mysterious fog, a cemetery found, a lost explorer.

chapter 35, a secret found. explorer deciphers. mc knows the answer.

chapter 36 mc gains knowedge of ancient magic. mc gets a mana circle. normally, mana circle plus mana core equal stronger power but shorter lifespan. mc now has both despite not wanting to have a mana circle. mc feels his power surging more normally. instead of the circle and core contradicting, mc's core and circle are complimenting each other.

mc meets with his childhood friend, the duke's daughter, leila. in the academy there is a sort of filter gate which shows one's magic power in color. red being the highest. mc's elder sister back then got red colors, leila now got a red color. mc got green. green is not on the list of the color that should appear.

chapter 37 magic class, mc meets a senior school bully who has an eye out for mc's magic genius sister. mc appears nonchalant towards the senior. the senior felt disrespected. class starts and the heat will continue after class. the senior got to demonstrate great magic during the class. mc is unimpressed.

chapter 38, magic evaluation. mc's magic can't be measured by the magic device prepared. mc demonstrated an overwhelmingly great prowess with magic. the senior bully got taken aback by mc's demonstration. the bully got another plan installed for mc.

chapter 39, the senior bully is actually part of the student council. after class, mc got an invite to join the student council. mc rejects the offer. leila takes mc to escape from the aggressive invite. the senior bully is actually wanting mc to be part of his lackey? and with mc as his subordinate, the bully can get a recommendation later from the magic dean for him to join any magic towers.

club invitation event, mc and leila is having trip along the booths for the event. clubs are hosting this to fill in more members or to add as a report for their club activity? mc won a treasure map of the academy as one of the prizes from the booth. mc is excited to show it to the explorer student, ernest, that he met.

Regressed Mercenary's Machination (manwha until chapter 20)

Regressed Mercenary's Machination (manwha until chapter 20)

I was planning on holding on to reading this until it got over a hundred but I got not much interesting titles to read so I got out with it.

First time I read this is until after mc saved his little sister from her doom.

The usual medieval regression manwha that is showcasing a mc with knowledge of the future as well his advance combat prowess that requires his body to be as strong as he previously was while also getting the treasures, recognition and other people as his ally that he couldn't get before regressing.

pre-regression, mc is one of the top 7 strongest who unfortunately gets killed by another top 7 strongest.

mc wakes up in tent, at first he was confused since he did not know he went back in time. But after setting his foot on the time he is, mc goes vs his past character and goes to become a better person. due to his infamy, people disregards mc's achievement as exaggeration or lies. only the ones, or some of them, who saw what mc did or how mc did actually changed are ones who changed and believed in mc. this include a few of their knight, their maid and his little sister.

back to the story, mc trained for the upcoming festival, this is also the time mc knows his sister will tragically die. mc has to prevent that.

day of festival, mc goes with his sister. things were going fine until the bodyguards of his sister escorted them to a deserted place. three figures appears. mc already know what will happen. mc takes care of incident. he also got to find out the truth of who set up their familu to ruins. mc saves his sister. no one believes he did. although his sister tries telling others, no ine also believes it. mc is just that infamous.

next day? the festival got cancelled. merchants were in outrage since the festival got stop. mc also realized they are in serious need of money, their land is very mismanaged since they are surrounded by war. barbarians to the north and the monster to the east. suddenly mc got called to the pub. it was his cousin. unknown to most, this is a set up to assassinate mc.

mc answers the call. mc saw his cousin and remembers how this cousin of his bullied mc. now that mc is a regressor, mc deals with his cousin also while gaining money and also appeasing the anger of the people and also continuing the festivity. the assasination plan vs mc was to make a duel of mc and his cousin, and the plan is to accidentally kill mc during the duel. mc is unaware of this and instead took the innitiative. mc asks for compensation for the bullying the cousin did to mc and when the cousin refuse, mc asks for a duel. the duel became a betting event. classic first boss fight and with bets. mc won, the festivities goes on and mc got lots of money.

afterward, while mc is checking his rewards, their maid and his sister mentions that mc won the fight and money all for the sake of his fiancee. mc got surprise that he has one. they mention mc's fiancee, mc then remembers. mc could get more money for his plan to help his country.

mc goes to his fiancee's place and asked for money, all the while indirectly threatening his fiancee and a merchant group of their futurr plan of rebellion/civil war. his fiancee did not take kindly of this. fiance asked her bodyguard to take care of mc. mc won vs the bodyguard, the fiancee has to give in to mc's demand plus extra. before mc leaves their country, the fiancee asks a mercenary group to go kill mc this is to shut mc up.

on the otherhand, mc already realized this and instead of going back to his country, mc met with a legendary retired mercenary. after treating the mercary's daughter's sick and also promising to cure her, the mercenary pledged to become a subordinate to mc. mc gains a new ally. they continue to go home, now they are aware of the mercenaries hunting him since the legendary merc was able to kill one.

on the way home, they got attacked by the hunting mercenaries. the legendary merc single handedly took care of all of them.

back home, mc found out his father have also returned. mc goes to his father's office and asked for permission to pioneer an exploration of the monster forest. mc got denied. unfortunately, mc asking for permission is not something that will stop him.

mc needed people for exploration, mc had their maid hire 200 mercenary while mc will also find a merc group of his own. mc found the merc group and after a few negotiation, mc gains an infamous merc group to aid him.

next day, mc meets with the mercenaries hired by their maid and mc brought along the merc group he got. he starts the expedition. mc's main task is to find the runestone vein that will serve as a profitable asset for their country.

end of chapter 20.

Bad Born Blood (manwha until chapter 19)

Bad Born Blood (manwha)

I feel like I'm reading the bible, book of Genesis. A sci-fi take on Abel and Cain, with Cain as the main POV, then things turn to the story of Adam and Eve and how they get chase out of the Garden of Eden but they have another person with them. This feel. I don't know how, but that's the feel i'm getting at.

Focusing on the plot, the story from chapter 1-19 is about a top notch soldier, best of the best, the perfect tool, gains conciousness. Like how subordinated are ordered and must obey with no question ask. This is how mc is a soldier and the tof his class. As the story continue he is having this thoughts, even still he holds his duty highest. Although this principle of his gets shaken when his sole friend gets involved, he nonetheless, still hold his duty high.

Should I write up a summary for just 1-19, chapters?

early chapters mc, Luka, shows his unwaivering principle to his duty as well his genius when it comes to combat. he is from an orphanage and his determination stem from his want to reach higher place, and the best place for him is in the imperial guard. he has a friend Ilay, a noble, he has his own wild dreams but must still go with the flow of staying and being an imperial guard because that is what his family wants. in class or among their peers/group, they are top 1 and top 2 when it comes to their power rating? and are always the chosen ones to lead.

Ilay has is own dream and bear little loyalty to the empire, this mc openly gets mad at his friend but this is because mc deeply cares for Ilay.

first mission, they are tasked to eliminate an enemy base. during their assualt, mc let a defenseless kid go, this is against their order of total wipe. Ilay saves mc and killed the kid that mc let go. This is very deep because with mc letting the kid go he is going against order and his principle of holding his duty high. mc trust ilay that he would be snitched. then an actual fight broke loose when a mage appears. mc went up against the mage, 1v1. mc would've lose if the mage didn't hesitate when mc got found out he just a child. during the fight with mage or rather when mc let a kid go, mc also realized the enemy base wasn't an actual base but just a settlement.

second mission, scouting mission, mc ilay as well other few trainees. in this mission, mc gets to know of a noble family that would have wanted mc to be taken in as a bethrothed to a young lady of their house. unfortunately, in this mission only mc and ilay survived. an advanced magic soldier appeared and annihalted the scout team saved for mc and ilay. they would've also been killed if their own superior advance soldier didn't interfere. aftermath, only mc and ilay survived, their advance soldier superior were also killed in action. mc also found a truth about later promoted soldier, they became weapons and can no longer be considered living beings. although mc witnessed a strange thing that happened when their superior, already dead, came up and checked on mc. only when mc mentioned their superior being headless did their superior broke down.

mc then received a visit, it is from a young lady, the one being asked for mc to meet. mc rejects it.

mc sought out help from an instructor who specialized in hand to hand akrashan victema, some sort of fighting technique that low criminal use but it was highly effective since the brain is more utilized. mc gets a master who is very unorthodox with his teaching. first practical lesson, underground brawl coliseum. mc won and somehow gained a lackey, a heavily modified brawler.

later on, mc found out that the hand to hand technique mc is learning is completely useless once he gets promoted and acquires a special body. mc quit but his superior want mc to monitor his master and learn more. mc is also promised to be adopted by their supperior officer in exchange. mc came back to learn more from his master.

mc realizes his master is more than what he seemed but mc is let be. later on, his master had mc go on missions to further his learning. mc also gains a new friend, a mechanical engineer.

mc now have a problem, despite his loyalty to the empire, mc is being infected with something else, empathy. mc asks his friend Ilay to help. Empathy is something he must hide as a soldier of the empire. and this can be found when they undergo a psych test. ilay teaches mc a way. mc owes mc. ilay immediately requests something for mc. mc accepts the request.

mc goes to meet a visit with Ilay, it was the noble lady mc rejected. mc once again rejected her. mc also found out it was Ilay who is in love with the noble lady. mc still owes ilay.

fourth mission, they will be dispatch to go against rebels to the empire. one ofnthe said rebels is the family of the noble lady Ilya has his heart with.

mc talked over with ilay of the many thing that will happen if ilay goes against the empire and mc repeated himself that his loyalty is towards the empire and that even if it's his friend, mc will not hesitate. ilay says he will stay true to his duty. with the teachings he got from his master, mc immediately discern the lies in ilay's words.

day of mission, mc is confused in thoughts. he wants to save his friend and the only way for him to save ilay is if mc himself killed the noble lady and this is without ilay seeing it happening. mc is set to bear ilay's hatred just to save his friend.

mission time, mc leads his own platoon with mc taking the lead and leaving everyone behind. mc is maximizing his use of his technique while also rushing to get to the noble lady first. during a short break, mc got praised for his act as a soldier but was criticize for not being a leader. mc knows this amd accepts his folly.

after a hard battle, mc lets his platoon do a clean up while mc go further. mc did not find both ilay and the noble lady. he himself must reach them. on his path forward, mc notices many casualty both from the rebel group and also men from ilay's platoon. mc criticizes ilay for wasting the lives of good soldier in the name of love.

mc finds ilay and few of the nobles, they were all escaping. ilay readies to fight mc. mc readies to go pass ilay and eliminate the noble lady. after mc killed the young lady's parents, mc got taken aback. mc noticed the young lady smiling. mc mentions this to ilay believing that the young lady is deceiving mc. but ilay still fought back. the battlr between two friends would have started if not for the young lady explaining there is a way for all of them to get away.

mc having his thoughts of an option to be saved of his friend's grudge hears the plan. ilay also on it as well. mc agrees. 

during their trek deeper in the installation, ilay explains the situation of the noble lady and that she was relieved of her parents death as she gets freed from the system. the noble lady was supposed to be in arranged marriage and she would have her personality/identity wiped for her marriage partner, fortunately, the empire deemed the inaction of the head of their family to support the empire as treason and just called it a rebellion.

things were going smoothly until they reached the end of their journey deepm it was unfortunate that when they arrived, there were superiors advance soldiers waiting. mc is having a brainstorm of what should happen next until ilay himself shot the noble lady. both mc and ilay got saved and were rewarded as heroes against the rebellion.

afterward, mc had a talk with ilay. mc says ilay is not fit to be a soldier but ilay says he's alreadt in too deep and the only thing for him to go up. ilay plans to have a vacation to his family home to cool off his mind. mc gets a talk with their superior officer, mc got questioned of what happened but mc is ready. after, mc is told to attend an academy as per tradition to send top trainees. mc obliges. mc will be meeting a guide. end of chapter 19.

Surviving the Game as a Barbarian (manwha until Chapter 100) - reader's note

Surviving the Game as a Barbarian

Read until chapter 100. This is a masterpiece. Must re-read this once the manwha finished.

Premise is the mc gets transmigrated to a game world and his class/race is a barbarian.

Slow start (chapter 1-3) but the story is seriously worth reading. There's a sense of comedy here and there but the entirety from 1-100 is a praise-worthy character development plot.

Take note: mc isn't the sole transmigrator. Transmigrators are considered evil, hence called evil spirit, and on sight must be killed by the citizens, npc as the transmigrators called, of the isekai world. Also, the reader gets to see the systems and stats but the characters don't see them, they just simply feel it. There're also more to the world. There are different factions, races, places and lores only lightly explored/mention.

So for a world building and character development, this is seriously a must read. Especially for the chracter development.

Player who Hides his Past (until end of s1, chapter 53) - reader's note

Player who Hides his Past

Read until end of season 1, chapter 53. Please re-read this once this manwha is finished. It is a must to re-read finish this title once it's 

A serious comedy of the mc literally living his chuunibyou life while also being aware he is. The plot armor in this one is simply phenomenal. Take note on the words "serious" and "comedy."

The Necromancer Academy and the Genius Summoner (manwha until chapter 99) - a short synopsis and a review of sort

characters:

Simon F., Mc

Dick/Rick Hayward, first friend of mc in the Keyzen acadamy, part of team 7

Kami Ursula, vampire student, part of team 7

Meylien, ex heiress of the Ivory Tower, leader of team 7

Peer/Feer, first general of mc's undead battalion, skeleton knight?

Erzebeth, second general of mc's undead battalion, undead spider queen?

Neftis, head of the keyzen necromancer academy, she appears like a child as well as her demeneor but is actually older than what she looks

How do I start this?

Mc is living a normal, boonies, country bumpkin life until the owner or head of the keyzen necromancer academy, neftis, invited mc to the academy. mc's parents let mc go to the academy. mc is thrilled.

mc go to the academy where everything seemed all new. mc is really unaware of everything and he sees everything with enthusiast. things that stands out for mc is his enthusiasm for learning and the school life, he really enjoys being at school, and his potential as a genius to learning what the academy has to offer. mc's main drive is to be like his father who uses the undead to help people and build and stuffs. therefore mc decided majored in summonology, a branch/subject in the academy that is the least popular but goes in depth with summonings.

before the academy life start, mc was chosen as the special case student no. 1 as was decided by neftis. it's like a rep leader for students in normal school IrL. this is usually reserved to students who excelled in the entrance exam, IRL. the difference is that, the special case are exempt from the entrance exam and are chosen by neftis. with this the case, mc was expected to be a genius from the start, unfortunately, that's not how it went since, mc all his life was taught to be next in line of their small land and so have little to no knowledge at all of magics except to what he saw from his necromancer father and priest mother. so yeah, at the start mc struggled with things but this didn't stop the fact that mc is actually a genius that a lot of professors noticed. despitr behind with knowledge and know hows, mc's eagerness to learn let himself pushed through.

on one instance, a practice demo had mc pitted against one of the top of the class, despite mc getting at a disadvantage, mc's was able to pull through. mc loses but the professor saw the brilliancy mc had shown. a lot of professors upon noticing mc's brillianct wanted to immidiately take mc as their disciple but mc already have one subject in mind which is summonology.

a lot of school life and world building in the subjects are presented but this seemed like a nice pov to the usual student life. and despite being a manwha as well as mc being a prodigy and the learning methods, this manwha don't follow the level up systems and status windows and such and such. everything that mc does is just prodigy and genius, you know what i'm saying?

mc gets a friend then after because of a requirement, mc gets to have a group who also became his friends. then there are more. mc also got a rival which mc do not actually sees as one, mc just like to go with his student life, he is enjoying school period.

chapter 99 ends with the second mission quests that mc took as part of the academy curriculum. mc saves a small fief island and is granted young kraken skeleton. this will be helpful to him for his summonology practice as well to build up his battalion.

world building that's quite interesting to be mentioned:

1 the factions of the priest and the necromancers, this is very interesting, a good vs evil scenario but not like that. necromancer were not evil in a sense and not much was said about the priests except they are enemies to the necromancers. mc met one already, or two. mc's mother is a priest and another one who fought with mc at first but mc somehow befriended.

2 the traitors, two of this type were mention, first is mc's father, a necromancer who ordered his undead to fight and even kill other necromancer, this is because mc's father fell in love with a priestess, mc's mother. and the next kind of traitor are the necromancers who also practice priest magic of sort but something different, this was the one who attacked mc and kami while they were gathering supplies for their potion for their group practical

3 the 7 battalion commander, mc's father was a former battalion. after mc made a contract with peer, mc became one of the seven battalion commander. who are they and just how influential are they in the world in the story.

4 the ivory tower, serene and mylien are part of this faction and they certainly do hold a name that can be comparable to keyzen.

5 somehow, despite the main focus is on mc and mc as a protagonist, there are a lot of things yet to be known about mc. i'm thinking that mc is actually a transmigrator or something and that mc got to the necromancy world or something. i'm 20% positive about this. not to mention the necromancer blood and priest blood running in mc.

6 the privileges of being a disciple of one of the professors in the keyzen academy, this is very interesting. this is so hardcore that if a professor spots a candidate he can go so far as to hurt the candidate just for him or her to be his or hers.

7 more lessons for summonology and the darkness dynamics. i want to see the skeleton and undead making and the reanimation magic spells.

8 the unpopular opinions vs summonology why is it hated so. 

there are more but this is just a few so far from the hundred chapters.

mc, in game, just fought against a guild. mc came out victorious. mc takes an item from a priest npc. the priest npc curses mc. mc goes to a hidden area and uncovers three treasures. suddenly an error occured. mc gets forcibly logged out.

back to reality, mc just realized he got stabbed. there were goons from an organization that were part of the ones he had a fight with in game. the organizations main aim are the treasure artifacts he just got. in the end, mc gets killed.

transmigration/regression, story starts.

10 or 5 years before the game official release in-game, mc wakes up as the youngest son of count ashton, lord of ashton. ashton will be the first to fall when the game gets officially released. mc aims make such tragedy never happen.

mc immediately trained for the coming of age ceremony. after winning the ceremony tournament, mc goes to his father and asked for permission to attend the knight academy? after months of training and persistent requests, mc finally got the approval.

mc sets out with a hundred men, they aim for the first village meant for adventurers/players, mira. mc gets there and trained his men and soon after made the first ever guild, First Knights. with the knowledge he got from his system mc was able to help his men reach new heights when it comes to their combat skills and more.

while staying in mira, mc also settles the problems from the kidnapping caused by the enemy empire. mc also gains powerful allies that will prove useful in the latter times of the story, they are nikia, a prodigy alchemist and nikki, a prodigy talent but was unable to show it due to sickness. mc helps them. mc also acquires a skill to help with his psychokinesis.

after mira, mc heads to the capital for the academy entrance exam. when he got to the capital they happened to be an infight within the ashton family, the main and branch. mc settles it with the help of his brother jake, heir to the ashton. afterwards mc goes training with jake.

academy entrance exam, mc wanted to just manage to get in but upon hearing the top placer reward, mc had to push himself to come out of top without making himself seemed obviously way stronger. mc gets the top spot. mc gets recognition from some prominent figures from the noble houses and teachers, this also include a fellow student freshman, grandson of the duke templeton. mc gets an additional reward, a meet with the sage grey, a transform ring and recall ring for the sage grey. other rewards for the top placer is access to most part of the library and use of battle simulation in the academy.

mc goes to the library to fill up his skill index, one of the treasure he acquired pre transmigration/regression. at this time in the library, mc also acquires a fairy that will serve as helper for his skill index. afterward, mc also goes to train more with his eldest brother.

sometime later, an oracle is given by the holy church. mc's system also mentioned a big update for the closed beta mc is in. mc gets to stay in the capital while he trained his people. while most of the nobles pay less heed to the oracle.

first update, gates suddenly appear. this isn't just part of the game but is actually a plan devised by the enemy empire.

mc with his first knight guilds is first to respond to the sudden appearance of gates and the dungeon break that occured. the first knights are also the first to close some of the gates.

after hearing of the news of mc's guild getting recognition, the other nobles got mad and envious of mc. first they had the minister of finance stop the first knights from taking on the low level gates. this is trivial to mc as they are already taking on mid level ones.

sometime later during the gates outbreak, mc gets a news of nobles going missing after entering the low level gates. mc already had a suspicion. mc along with some of his troops and the grandson of templeton goes for a rescue mission.

they enter the gate the nobles were last seen, after mc set up a fort to go defense, a group of empire soldier suddenly appear. aftee dealing with the first easy wave, mc and templeton had to step in for the next waves. then the boss fight. two 1v1 duel, templeton vs a giant mace mutant soldier and mc vs no8 commander of the empire. they both won and the rescue mission was a success. mc also received an aura blessing.

after the gates incident, the ceremony for the knights. this is like a tournament initiation for knights or guilds to get recognize. mc's first knights came out on top. on the sidelines, mc gains a new prospect ally, faceless, former leader of wings of freedom, now an informant for the first knights guild. there is really something going on in the internal affairs of the kingdom as empire figures have already infiltrated. two of them is high possibly, the minister of finance, plank, and possibly the head of randall family, a rival to the ashton family and one of the five noble familiea of the empire.

after the knight ceremony two things also happen, mc gets recognized and gets highly praised and regarded by gray president of the tower mage?, and mc gets to battle with the commander of the knights of the kingdom. mc gets recognized during the duel.

the knight commander discusses with his fellow commander thay grey's thought of mc is a cryptic warning. one there is a looming problem going on within and outside the kingdom and the kingdom will soon face a great peril and mc will be one of the heroes to get to decide the outcome of what is to come.
