Demigod Mage in America

96th Street, Manhattan, United States, at the intersection of the Upper East Side and East Harlem.

Ryan spat out the toothpaste and poured himself a glass of water.

"Giggle giggle..."

Although for him, washing up could be accomplished with just a small spell.

But having finally returned to modern society, he has no intention of using magic to slack off for the time being.

The story of who he is is a long one.

An Earthling, suffering from kidney failure due to long-term gout, transmigrated to a magical world and successfully became a demigod mage—that is, a mortal at the Great Perfection, half-step into the divine realm, and one step further and he would be a god.

He gained godhood by seducing the goddess of magic, but was assassinated by her mortal enemy not long afterward.

Ryan was rinsing his mouth when the television in the living room was turned on to broadcast the morning news.

"Good morning, this is Theodore Benson. Zane is off today. You're watching the New York News. A week ago, a meteorite caused damage, but it has been completely repaired today. Colton Madison, a planetary geologist at the University of Georgia, says the meteorite fragments have been tested and are harmless to humans..."

"puff--"

The burst of water mist drowned out the subsequent reports.

Meteorite fragment analysis complete? How come he didn't know about this meteorite?

"White people are always bragging," Renn thought. He hadn't left any residue, so where did they get the fragments? Was he too weak and left behind some dandruff?

Yes, he is that meteorite.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself adrift in space, just like other dead gods.

The divine corpse drifted in the astral plane, and over trillions of years, it slowly degraded into the purest form of magic.

Fortunately, although the reason is unknown, he should not be completely dead, and he has revived in a weak state.

He possessed immense divine power, yet as a demigod and the most talented archmage in history, he was hailed as a man only slightly inferior to the goddess of magic.

The reason she is slightly inferior to the Goddess of Magic is that Raine is like a mathematician, while the Goddess of Magic is numbers themselves.

Even the most brilliant mathematician cannot surpass numbers, because he cannot create formulas without numbers.

After falling into this world, he discovered that it was actually Earth, but unfortunately, it was a parallel world.

Because the person giving the speech on TV was not the Golden Milk Dragon, and the White-Haired Detective was not the previous one. Although Le Zong still had a wild imagination, apart from the similar historical process, the people and things were completely different.

After making another trip back to his hometown and finding that he didn't recognize anyone there, he gave up on the idea of ​​staying there.

Since I have no ties to hold me back, I might as well find a place to live a carefree life.

He would be hesitant and timid if he returned to China, since some things are indeed ingrained in his bones, but things are different when he's causing trouble in someone else's country.

If he weren't in a weakened state, if he weren't worried about potential opponents in this world, and if the absence of a magic network in this world prevented him from recklessly casting spells, he would have been fine.

He became Careful Superman on the first day, Bold Superman on the second day, and Happy Superman on the third day.

For now, he can only be an ordinary, unremarkable mage.

However, although there is no such thing as a magic network in this world, magic still exists. It may have different names, such as Mana, the Great Source, or the Sea of ​​Magic, but in essence, they are all the bridges of magic and the foundation for mages to cast spells.

Unfortunately, Raine has not yet formally entered into in-depth communication with the magic network of this world.

For now, only low- to mid-level spells can be used. Going higher levels could easily cause magical chaos, leading to a magical network upheaval that could trigger severe natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, or typhoons.

He had finally found a world where he could heal his wounds, a pure world where he could not even sense the presence of any deities.

This is like a windfall!

In that world, due to the limited population, no matter how good the relationship was, the goddess of magic could not possibly provide him with too many believers.

The faith she bestowed, aside from making Renn a little stronger, was far from enough to make him a god, and demigods cannot respond to prayers and have limited access to the resources of faith they can receive.

But now the world is like a cool and aloof college beauty who has just entered society, waiting for him to slowly explore her.

So Renn could only grit his teeth and accept it for now. Once he resonated with the magic network, he would have a lot more control over what he wanted to do.

Magic is divided into nine levels, with stronger magic above level nine, but no one knows it.

Coincidentally, Ryan happened to be the one who knew how.

Because he had some knowledge of magic.

He snapped his fingers, and a phantom humanoid figure made of arcane energy appeared in front of him.

The humanoid figure disappeared into the air after a brief flash.

"Go and bring the package from the door in for me."

The invisible servant, having received the order, turned and left, while he himself headed towards the kitchen.

The previous tenant of this room was a woman named Runmei, but she's probably lying in the sewer now.

Raine used a charm spell to get the rental rights to the house from the landlord.

He didn't even rent it, he didn't steal it.

Of course, this is also related to the divine essence in his mind, which is the origin of a true god. Having this is equivalent to being qualified to become a god.

Raine's divine essence is: Order, though it's only a fragment. But even a fragment is still a large domain, on par with powerful gods like magic and darkness.

The goddess of magic helped him seize only a part of the divine authority of [Order]: the Rule.

Once he completes his divine spark and gathers enough faith power, he can use this divine spark to become a true god, a god of rules.

To become a god through this, one must first believe in and abide by the rules.

After all, even God himself doesn't take his own domain seriously, so how can he expect believers to approve of it?

He doesn't yet have any ideas on how to obtain the power of faith.

However, since things have come to this, let's eat first!

American food, including the food in Chinatown, is not fit for human consumption.

It's hard to imagine that sugar is added to fried rice.

Is this even human?

As he thought about it, Ryan pulled out two green and yellow plastic bags from the drawer—Jinwei!

The first thing he did upon returning to Earth was to taste all the food he remembered from his past.

He couldn't remember how many years it had been since he had eaten food from his hometown. Although there were no familiar people here, the familiar things were still there.

The aroma of the oatmeal is fully released and spreads as boiling water is poured in.

Although the food in this other world is delicious, after eating it for so many years, Raine still misses the food from his hometown.

It may have a thousand and one flaws, but it's the taste of home.

pat-

The door was pushed open, and an invisible servant entered the room carrying packages of various sizes.

These magical servants have no intelligence; like AI, they can only follow simple commands.

An ordinary mage's servants can only carry 10 kilograms and drag 50 kilograms, but for Renn, whose magical research has reached its pinnacle, the carrying and dragging of servants can reach 200 kilograms and 1000 kilograms respectively.

The package contained the clothes and daily necessities he had bought.

As for where the money comes from?

Upon landing, Raine encountered a gang dealing drugs, and as a model citizen, he couldn't tolerate it.

They beat the group of people so badly they ended up in the hospital, then called 911, seized their illegal gains, and threw all the contraband next to them, so they could catch them red-handed.

"Um?"

Ryan paused in his changing, his ears twitching as he heard a cry for help.
