- That Time They Reincarnated a Rapper. -
You’d think dying would be the worst part.
Not for Jean Vinson.
After a brutal end in his previous life, Jean wakes up in a wild new world where music is magic, souls are sources of power, and gods walk among mortals. Now known as Xiro Mikazuki, he finds himself on the outside of Gaia’s cutthroat society, armed with only old memories, a mental disorder-turned-power up, and a smart-ass attitude that just might get him killed—again.
But this isn't your typical isekai. Here, record labels are war factions, mana flows through rhythm and arts, and the most powerful M-Cees (Mana Controllers) don’t just fight—they rule. Backed by a mysterious Soul Core prototype and haunted by the request of a forgotten Creator, Xiro’s journey from devil to legend won’t just be about survival. It’ll be about domination.
Thrown into deadly trials, divine politics, and twisted battles that remix soul, genre, and grit, Xiro must navigate a world where faith empowers, fame kills, and failure means eternal silence. The system’s rigged, the deities are watching—and they’re betting on him to lose.
But they clearly forgot:
He’s not here to play fair.
He’s trying to create his personal paradise by any means necessary.

The 13th Kingdom: Reincarnation isn't just an isekai — it’s an evolution of the genre. It refuses to follow standard tropes and instead blends the music industry’s highs and lows, Black cultural identity, divine spirituality, and shonen-style power systems into something deeply personal and original. At its core, this is a story of healing through power, rage, and love, driven by the ghost of the past and the burdens of greatness.
Xiro’s arc — from lost, damaged artist to rising Godlike force — is never clean or idealized. It's traumatic, hilarious, angry, vulgar, and transcendent.
