If you choose to be reborn, you will not have magic powers, but you will unlock a status window and a skill tree that you can use to give yourself new skills and abilities and improve your physical characteristics.
You’ll get the same thing if you choose to be reincarnated, however, magic will be a factor. And the age of the world will be somewhere like 50-ish years before the full rollout of the industrial revolution, technology-wise. (minor clarification, you keep your current knowledge either way)
However, you will not be the hero or the chosen one. You’re just going to be a person with a perk.
Reborn as myself with my knowledge.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Young people don’t listen to old people. But, if the old person is myself, then I’ll listen… when I’m young again.
Yeah, this question… like, this isn’t even a question. So much stuff I would re-do…

Reborn as myself. Once my vocal chords develop people will be amazed at the conversations they can have with a baby.
And before that, your parents will be amazed that you didn’t need potty training 😅
What if I already need potty training?
Why would I live in a preindustrial society just for the minute chance I could use magic. Because statistically speaking you will be a subsistence farmer in a world where the powerfull can literally alter reality.
If you take the magic route, you are guaranteed magical ability of at least C tier rank, and since you have the status window, you will be able to upgrade that through patient and dedicated practice.
I did not see the changes you made to premise. But I would still stay with modern comforts and lack of terrible diseases.
Anything sufficiently advanced that it isn’t explainable in the current culture is magic.
Considering I’m already a modern day wizard, I’d go for being able to use my existing skills from birth over being born into a society where the laws of physics may not be the ones I’ve spent decades studying. That sounds like a recipe for abject misery and early death.
Gonna reincarnate without magic and then just pump up my INT so I can invent magic myself.
Unfortunately I don’t think you get to repick your stats, just resets your str, dex and con
I’m not respeccing, just leveling it up. It says I can do that.
I think I’m kinda done.
Same. Please just let me die.
Reborn. I wanna see my mom again.
Ok, this one is too wholesome for me to make a dark joke about.
It would be the best, man. I miss her. I could do a lot of stuff differently, sure, but mostly I would just like to spend some time with her. She was awesome.

I would never choose to be reborn as myself with my current knowledge. I would know how my life could turn out without knowing all the steps I did to get there. I don’t think I would be able to get my wife to fall in love with me and I know that I would never be able to find the exact breeder that sold me my dog.
As much as I would love to imagine how much better my life will be if I made the right decision at some juncture, I would not want to lose out on all the treasure I discovered taking the wrong road.
Sure I would be able to see loved ones who have passed, but would I be able to enjoy that extra time knowing that they will soon develop a disease that will kill them?
I couldn’t imagine a single scenario where I wouldn’t choose to reborn as myself. IMO it is objectively the correct choice: more stable/safe world (compared to pre-industrial revolution with dangerous spells), and I’ll almost be guaranteed to do quite well in it given the status window and skill tree
My intrusive thoughts tell me to choose world of magic and go kaboom though
Nobody born today is going to be doing well unless their parents are rich. Doesn’t matter how smart you are.
If you get reborn as yourself you can just buy bitcoin when it was cheap?
I guess if start back over at the same spot. I was thinking you’d be reborn today.
The magic one for sure. I have no doubt that I would not only recover my memories of past lives but would ascend to much greater heights, perhaps grasping immortality itself.
All the amazing adventures to bizarre worlds await.
With dimensional and time travel, shapeshifting, I might even come back to this world. Maybe I’d turn my other self into newt and take his place. Or imbue him with forbidden knowledge and power. Or take him with me. Or maybe we’d just end up having a bunch of freaky shifting magic sex.
“Hey me, it’s you, from a world of magic. I’m here to rescue you.”
“Wow, how unexpected. Also, you’re hot.”
“Baby, I’m about to blow your mind.”
Magic world. That sounds more fun and interesting to me
So new game in magic world or new game + in normal world?
Do I have to be the chosen one in new game +? I’d do that if I don’t have the added responsibility of saving the world.
If you’re of a certain age, you’d STILL have to save the world.
Imagine you go back in time, to the year your born. You can’t even speak yet, but you know 9/11 is coming.
If you try to warn others, they won’t believe you. But after it happens, they’d blame you. You’re the guy who knew 4 planes would be hijacked on one random tuesday.
Because thats what 9/11 was before the planes hit. Just another random tuesday. Very calm. Nice pleasant weather. If you watch what the today show host says at 8am, he says “It’s Tuesday morning, the sun is shining, and it’s a nice quiet morning. Maybe a bit too quiet.”
Oh believe me. That’s about to dramatically change!
But how would you know that on Sept 9th 2001?
So now you have a choice. Let thousands die on the day, and hundreds of thousands develop conditions related to the attacks. Ranging anywhere from mild, to lethal. Everything from a persistant cough, to aggressive cancer.
But in choosing to save them, you most certainly go to max security federal prison.
Or, you can pretend to be shocked when 9/11 happens. Knowing you let hundreds of thousands suffer.
Your choice.
You did this wrong. I would spend the time using the info I know to get massively rich very early and connect with people who can do something, and start working that front
Would it really matter if we get reborn? That implies pretty strongly that death isn’t the end. Sure, you could choose to be a hero, or at least try, but all those people already died, maybe even you did (depending on how this whole thing works).
Given those surrounding circumstances, I don’t think the concepts of life and death would carry the same weight in a second run through life.
Magic easily. Why would I want to come back into a world like this?
Magic no question
Going to a world of magic sounds pretty sweet, but only if I can remember that I once lived in a world without it. Otherwise, I’m just a schmuck in the only world I’ve ever known, and magic wont be any more fascinating than technology is today.
The current world with knowledge would be more advantageous than a magic world from scratch.
@Rhynoplaz @bizarroland what greater magic than kindness and compassion? We have that here, you have that power, here, now.
Fireballs.
Kindness and compassion are great and all, but Fireballs are MUCH greater.
@Rhynoplaz <3
I think I would choose to forget everything, and have a chance to be reborn in a world where everything is new
This is commonly referred to as death.
