Mushoku Tensei literally uses <a href="https://mushokutensei.fandom.com/wiki/Mana" target="_blank">mana</a>.  Also there are over 20 books in the series, book two is still pretty much his early puberty & his many kids are not even a consideration at that point.  I'm many books  ahead of you in the novels...His mana is not unlimited & Rudeus only appears that way  in the extremely peaceful  kingdom of Asura because he's a freak for a couple reasons you eventually understand... spoilers: [ispoiler]You understand one of the reasons shortly after his quagmire arc when an old face   from earlier books (you are a few books from first seeing them) comes back into his life.[/ispoiler].  Book two is still in the Asura Kingdom  learning the basics from Ghislaine with Eris and I don't think he gets his magical mana cost reducing staff till late in the book.  Once he gets to the demon continent you even start seeing people overtaxed.You missed the context of the initial request for examples.</blockquote>
