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.
I think I’m kinda done.
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.”
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.
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.
If the Harry Potter universe taught me one thing, it is that a world of magic is a terrible place. Anyone could be anyone else transformed, people can read minds, etc etc etc., no wonder Alastor Moody became so paranoid.
My memory is soo bad that I’d probably forget all the useful stuff and remember things like how many dimples are on a golf ball or how to do a Rubiks cube as a baby.
I’d probably take the magic option.World of Magic, I don’t wanna live through the Trump presidency again, nor gender dysphoria.
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…

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.
Give me a new body and a brain without chemical imbalances, please.
Reborn as myself. Once my vocal chords develop people will be amazed at the conversations they can have with a baby.
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
I’ll take the new life+, thank you. Gonna be trivial to become a child prodigy, earn money off that and then have a very smooth adult life
Neither. I’d make my parents choose people who actually love each other which would prevent me from being.
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.
