On the 15th of March 2139, the world mourns the passing of Darius Stone, billionaire broker, and philanthropist.
Yet while his family and friends put his body to rest, Darius wakes up to find himself reborn into a younger body in a different world.
A strange voice informs him that his soul has been transported into the magic-filled world of Faust on the behest of a mysterious Goddess called Vena, for the sole purpose of entertaining her through his struggles.
In this world where any dream can be achieved with enough effort, he sets out to become a Supreme, an existence above Mortals and even Gods!

Warning: This novel features a villainous protagonist. If you have enjoyed Warlock of the Magus World, then you should be able to tolerate Darius Stone’s actions and choices throughout the novel.
Note: This story is slow-paced in order to allow for better world-building and development. If you’re looking for a fast-paced action story, this might not be for you.
I like this story very much. The world building is not rushed, we get to read more into the main characters character (f**k me). He is a very opportunistic and materialistic person, but the man still has his morals.
I love that the author didn't forget the fact that our MC lived a very long life on earth before reincarnating, as many other stories, for some reason, do. He has a rational adults mind, and doesn't make silly hot-headed decisions like some other "smart protagonists" we sometimes see, do. He's an old man in a child's body and sometimes that body might get in his way psychologically. I have no clue to be honest, but the story hints at it.
The magic/combat system is very well explained. The author explains everything that's important, but still manages to not annoy us with unnecessary infodumps.
This story is slow-paced, but it doesn't feel that way at all. The author manages to make something as basic as finding a river in the woods very interesting to read.
All in all, this story has not really shown it's true colours yet in my opinion. I think that in the future it might be one of the more popular novels on this website.

Kotario has me hocked.
5/5 stars from me.

The novel pleased me a lot, especially the protagonist. Although he is a bad guy, he still has s*xual morals, which makes me very happy. And as much as the story is unfortunately still at the beginning, it is very promising, I am very anxious and I really want to see how his plans will impact the world.
Sorry for the poor writing quality, I am using Google Translate.
