Hitsuji Gamei

The Raythefts are an old, minor noble house defined by magical talent and martial service. When six-year-old Arcus Raytheft, firstborn son to the family, proves disappointingly inept at magic, he is stripped of his inheritance and written off by his parents. His adoptive sister Lecia still adores him, but as the new heir, she is forbidden to interact with anyone who might drag her down.

But when one inheritance is lost, fate arranges another: Arcus remembers another life, in a world where science prevails and magic belongs to the realm of fiction. Suddenly endowed with the life experience of a grown man and pressed to find a purpose as his family turns against him, Arcus resolves to find a way to break the laws of magic and Raytheft tradition over his knee!

The Magician Who Rose From Failure

The Magician Who Rose From Failure: Volume 1

Alexandra Owen-Burns

Drawing on knowledge gained from his dream of a second life in another world, Arcus created the aethometer: a device that measures the essence of all magic. Now, he is finally ready to present his revolutionary invention to his nation’s premier magicians and military leaders. With the circle of trust containing the device’s earthshaking implications cast wider, how will the aethometer move to change Arcus’ fate and the fate of the world itself?

Others within the gentry are keeping a close eye on Arcus after his decisive actions on the marquess’ estate. Whether they are friend or foe remains to be seen—but subtle machinations rarely remain so for long when Arcus is involved.

The Magician Who Rose From Failure: Volume 2

Arcus’s aethometer is making waves in Lainur as it enables a revolutionary leap forward in the kingdom’s grasp of magic. But, out of nowhere, the supply of Sorcerer’s Silver essential to the device’s manufacture dries up. Unable to meet demand without it, he and his companions travel to the silver-rich western territory of Rustinell. What friends and foes lie ahead? What greater machinations are at work behind this unprecedented upset? And as the consequences of his actions ripple out far beyond his reach, can Arcus still hold his own?

The Magician Who Rose From Failure: Volume 3

Arcus came to Rustinell to top up on supplies; that’s still on his to-do list, but he has averted a plot to kill the crown prince of Lainur! The prince declares war on the treasonous Porque Nadar—and orders Arcus to fight by his side. Arcus never meant to get involved, but a monarch’s word is law. After all he’s been through, Arcus might be prepared for open warfare; regardless, there’s no place more dangerous to stand than in the shadow of the boy who would be king. Especially when you consider the royal family’s track record with close friends...

The Magician Who Rose From Failure: Volume 4

After a war of twists and turns and a brief convalescence, Arcus is finally ready to return to Lainur’s capital. There he’ll meet Ceylan’s father, King Crosellode, and be rewarded for his valiant efforts—although he’s not the only one due for an audience with the king.

While rumors about Arcus continue to spread, the Empire evaluates its own part in the war. Will the nation remain a sleeping lion, or begin plotting its next move? And what of the cryptic quest to seek out an emerald on Chain’s behalf, which Arcus received in a dream? Without any clues as to what it might mean, he hardly knows where to begin. But one thing’s for sure: he’s going to be busy for a long while yet.

The Magician Who Rose From Failure: Volume 5

Now thirteen years old, Arcus crushes the entrance exam for the Royal Institute of Magic, and he soon begins his new life as a student. Disowned for his supposed lack of ability, he makes waves both good and bad when he quickly outstrips his distinguished peers, rising to the top of his class. His success does not escape the notice of Claudia Saifice, granddaughter of the Institute’s headmaster. What exactly does she have in store for him?
