Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants is to practice magic and go fishing. A pleasant, quiet existence nobody should complain about. Except his family abandoned him, his new body is cursed, gods meddle in his affairs, the local mayor keeps dumping responsibilities on him, a strange kid keeps challenging him to duels, and everyone seems to want to know if he'd like to be a dark lord. Who has time for all of that when there are books to read and a lunker trout hiding in the river?
