    The First Wizard

    by karlmaks

    In a world ruled by gods and heroes, Ace is born with an ordinary identity but an extraordinary mind. After awakening memories from a past life, he refuses to rely on divine gifts or inherited bloodlines. Instead, he uses logic, mathematics, experimentation, and pure curiosity to push against the limits of fate. By studying supernatural creatures the way a scientist dissects nature, he pioneers an entirely new path: the path of the Wizard.
    From building theories of magic, to traveling across worlds in search of knowledge, to kindling the first spark of a true magical civilization.
    If you like Throne of Magical Arcana, you will definitely like this novel.

    Why it’s great:
    • The main character grows through intellect, not plot armor.
    • Magic is treated like a real science which is rigorous, systematic, and fascinating.
    • The story builds a full wizarding system from zero—research, models, experiments, failures.
    • The world expands across multiple planes and worlds, keeping the sense of discovery fresh.
    • It blends fantasy, rationalism, and worldbuilding in a way that feels ambitious and unique.
