Light Novel Volume 1/Summary

Reborn Arc
An assassin is killed on a passenger plane over a city. He wakes up in a temple-like area and meets the Goddess. She gives him the opportunity to reincarnate him in exchange for killing a brave man. The assassin accepts and picks his five skills: Rapid Recovery, Spellweaver, Limitless Growth, Martial Arts and an unknown D rank skill. He also choses to specialize in the four main attributes: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. The goddess is intrigued and sends him on his way.

The assassin is born to Esri Tuatha Dé and Cian Tuatha Dé as Lugh Tuatha Dé. When Lugh turns five, he's given the task of getting used to killing for he is human. He gets his body checked regularly afterwards. When he's seven, Lugh hunts in the mountains for training. His father has noticed Lugh recovers quickly without the use of an Appraisal sheet. Lugh hunts Arte Rabbits and makes a stew. Esri and Cian have some banter as Lugh cooks some cream stew. As they eat, Cian suggests making it a specialty dish. While the food Lugh has in this world isn't as good, he tastes a wonderful meal.

After dinner comes training and after this day of training, Lugh is ready to receive the Mystic eyes of Tuatha Dé. Lugh is ready and recovers from the operation faster thanks to his Rapid Recovery skill. Lugh is amazed by what he can see and eventually adjusts to it thanks to his skills. He's then told that he will get a magic teacher.

Esri dresses up Lugh in very girly clothes. Lugh finally wears it if he gets duck roast that night. He's about to ditch the clothes to meet his magic teacher only for Esri to prevent him from changing. Lugh meets his magic teacher in the drawing room, a silver-haired ten year old girl. They have tea with Cian and Lugh is mistaken for a girl because of Esri's clothes. Cian says Lugh will be training with the girl, Dia Viekone for two weeks.

They go to the yard to train after Lugh changes back into his normal clothes. Dia brings out a Fahr Stone to determine how much magical power Lugh has. Lugh has a lot more to the surprise of Dia. The Fahr Stone nearly breaks and Dia warns Lugh to throw it. He does and it creates a large explosion shattering the a few windows of the mansion. Cian and Esri come by to ask what happened. Dia explains but to her surprise, Cian and Esri are delighted. Lugh ends up asking for Fahr stones but Dia refuses.

Dia goes to measure the aptitude of Lugh using another Fahr stone. Lugh's greed is apparent as she tests for the attributes. She's amazed then astonished when she finds out that Lugh has the main for magical attributes. She holds Lugh and guides him through a magical conversion. Afterwards it's clear that Cian gave Lugh the best teacher for magic when Lugh manages to convert an attribute for the first time. After a bit, Lugh gets a vision of letters. These letters are the first spell Lugh learns. This first spell is create iron and pronounciation is key. Lugh thinks about the possibilities this magic can provide as she runs him through the pronounciation. Lugh memorizes the spell but his tongue can't keep up.

Lugh asks if he can use a spell even if he didn't get a revelation of it. Dia isn't sure but decides to try it. Lugh performs the magic successfully and learns how the spells are similar. Lugh explains it to her so she can understand and manages to make titanium and tungsten. Dia does it and can do it too. However when she tries to make gold, she gets dizzy. Lugh realizes that he needs to write down the spells himself for them to be used. This is in fact what Spellweaver does. They decide to cooperate to make new spells together.

Dia sleeps next to Lugh with Lugh figuring out that his mother was born into the Viekone family. They head into the mountains ten days after training began. Lugh makes a rifle and fires at a tree making it fall over. Dia does the same magic and destroys a rock with it. Lugh then creates a large cannon and fires it. Dia calls it overkill but Lugh doesn't think so. He thinks about making an alloy next.

On the last day, Lugh is successful in making an alloy or combination of metals. He makes a titanium alloy knife and gives it to Dia. He mentions that they can give soldiers the weapons as long as they don't know how it's made. He lets her keep the knife along with three swords. Lugh also promises to come for her when she needs him. That knight they show Cian the sword but hide how it's made. As Dia gets in the carraige to leave, she tosses a Fahr Stone to Lugh. Lugh is grateful and for the next two weeks, he develops his magic further. He also hopes that sneaking off to see Dia will be great training as an assassin.

Before winter arrives, Lugh goes out hunting while also looking for an assistant. He ends up finding a blonde haired girl who's incredibly thin. Lugh gives her a warm meal with the condition that she eats slowly and ask why she's here. Apparently she was expelled from her home for having too many mouths to feed. He asks if the girl can become his assistant and she's overjoyed to be useful to someone. This girl's name is Tarte.

Two years pass and Tarte grows up into a capable servant. Cian had given two conditions for training Tarte: Lugh had to teach her himself and if she betrayed them, he would kill her. Cian ends up asking Lugh about Tarte's training and Lugh is confirmed that she's innocent.
