《A Chuunibyou's Life in Another World!》So it's magic?

As the cute blonde 4 year old Hiro was being lectured by a strict looking old man, his bright blue eyes opened wide and he fell into a trance.
Yes. That was the memories he had of his past life. His memories of Earth. He suddenly remembered everything.
"Are you listening Young Master?" Said the old man, but even though his tone was polite, there was some disdain hidden in his voice. A disdain a normal 4 year old wouldn't notice, but the reincarnated Hiro could hear clearly!
"Yes teacher." Hiro said as he slowly merged his memories of both worlds.
I see, it seems This King ended in a world of magic. Furthermore, This King clearly bought a noble heritage, why is it that my family is only a fallen noble one? Ai, it's really disgraceful.
That's right! Hiro's noble family, Fuji, was a really old noble family, so old, in fact, that it is older than the empire itself! Unfortunately, it has been losing its wealth and prestige for the last generations. It has become so bad, that it might even lose it's title of nobility!
It doesn't matter, This King will certainly make this noble family shine again. This King's splendor it's unlimited.
"...and as the 19th Emperor of the Arcane Blue Empire declared, magic became an exclusive benefit for those of noble blood. In time, the commoners desenvolved their own ways of becoming stronger, but magic it's still feared throughout the Empire as the supreme power that no one can match." The history teacher finished his lesson about the history of magic as he put away the book that was on his hand. This old man had a clearly plain face to go with his short white hair and beard. It gave the impression that he was nothing more than a side character that would soon be forgotten. "That's the end of it for today Young Master. Next week you'll have the afinity test to know which branch of magic is most compatible with you."

As the unimportant side character said that, he was already walking away, leaving the thoughtful main character still seated in the small room, which was clearly an impolite thing to do to a noble, since he didn't bowed or even nodded before he left.
"What disrespect must This King face. Sigh." The young noble stood up after stashing his books in a beautiful bag that hangs at his hips. It looked like a pouch normally seem in fantasy worlds.
As he walked back to his bedroom, he started to think about this world's magic system. It seemed a lot like one he saw in a certain game in Earth.
First, there was 5 types of magic, 5 branchs or schools, you could say. Destruction, Illusion, Alteration, Conjuration and Restoration. The name pretty much said everything about them, except Illusion, who could also be called Control in his opinion.
Of course, Hiro wasn't worried about his afinity with any of them, as a King, it was obvious he would be outstanding in everything he did.
His house wasn't as big as a noble's should be. It didn't even count as a mansion. So the walk back to his bedroom was relatively quick.
He put the pouch in the small desk that had in the room and decided to look for his mother.
His mother was the only other person of his family that was still alive. And furthermore, she was sick. That made all the pressure of having the future of the family at his shoulders. If he didn't became an outstanding and extraordinary youth, his family was doomed to failure.
As he walked into his mother's room, he could see her reading a little book while laying down in the bed. She was really pretty. She looked to be in her early twenties and had a beautiful face, with graceful blonde hair and big green eyes. Her body was covered by the bed sheets, but it was clearly full of beautiful curves.

As the reincarnated toddler saw her for the first time after remembering his past life, he couldn't help but become a bit dumb.
As expected of This King's mother. Truly beautiful! That's the reason i will become the most handsome of all.
As she noticed him entering the room, he put her book down and turn to look at him, her eyes were soft and she had a small smile in her face.
"Hello, my child. How was your lessons?" As she spoke softly, she patted the space at the edge of the bed, indicating for him to sit down. He smiled and walked over quickly, jumping to the bed to talk with his mother.
"It was fine. This King is outstanding after all. Next week my magic afinity will be tested and i will shock the world with how awesome i am. It won't be long until i make our family become the most famous and powerful of all nobles." His voice was full of confidence that made others want to believe in him.
However, her mother made a strange face as she looked at him with a frown. "This King? Who? Why are you calling yourself that?"
"Because the most outstanding person is the King. A King has to be the most powerful, the most righteous and the most capable person! Therefore, it means that This King can only be a King, for anything else can't describe This King's capability." He said with a big grin in his face.
"To me, you will always be my cute little child." His mother couldn't help but smile a little at his antics as she answered him while pinching his cheek. After that, she sighed and reminded him. "Soon you will have sword lessons, as a noble, you have to learn well, you must be absolutely dilligent in learning. After your afinity is tested, you must also dilligently study magic. Don't forget that you're the only one capable of making our family rise again!" In the end, she softened her tone a bit and smiled. "But don't worry, my child, mother will be here for you when you need her. Mother loves you very much."
After her mother hugged and kissed his forehead, Hiro had to leave to the courtyard for his sword practice, which has been going for the last 2 months, when he became 4. It consisted mostly of learning the correct posture and how to swing correctly, and nothing else. In a few more years, he would start training on where and how to strike and physical training.
In the courtyard, a middle-aged man with sharp features and a barely shaven beard was waiting for him. The big sword in his back made him look imposing, like he could cut you in two and you could do nothing to stop him. This man was the Sword Instructor Kira.
"Welcome Young Master, grab a wooden sword at the side and get in posture. We'll start immediately."
"Yes sir!" Hiro screamed back with a resolute look in his eyes.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz

It's either the easy way or the hard way depending on if they can follow five simple rules.1. Take your shoes off when you go inside. 2. No fighting.3. Don't go in the attic.4. Don't go in the basement. 5. Ask if you need help with something. Just watch and learn.
