Aurion

After a solo mountaineering trip ends in a frozen grave, a brilliant student is given a second chance at life. Reborn into the noble Orion family in the magical world of Palarya, he is given a new name: Rohan.

While retaining the mind and memories of his past life makes him an instantaneous abnormality, Rohan quickly discovers that Palarya operates on a system entirely foreign to Earth's laws of physics: cultivation and elemental magic. Refusing to waste a second of his life, Rohan utilizes his deep understanding of human anatomy and scientific principles to crack the secrets of Qi and awaken his core at the impossible age of three.

But as he strives to meet the crushing expectations of his powerful family, Rohan realizes that gaining power in this world requires intuitive connection and sheer willpower. Driven by a fierce refusal to be helpless ever again, Rohan sets out to blend the science of his past with the magic of his present, charting a path to unmatched strength in a world where the gods themselves have left room for geniuses to rise.
