Synopsis
Reito reincarnates as royal alchemist, exiled for "lowest job," but discovers it's secretly the strongest.
Reito Shirosaki was suddenly sucked in by a mysterious crack and got transferred in between dimensions. He got reincarnated as a baby in another world. He was born in the royal family and was the heir to the throne but he was driven out of the palace. The reason was that he was born as a Support magician and had Alchemist as a job which was the lowest job that existed in the new world and people who had that were considered jobless. But there was a secret hidden in that job!! From jobless to the strongest job!!! (Source: AlphaPolis, translated)
