    I am looking for isekai that is reverse.

    MC is a mage from fantasy world who transported into modern world.

    he/she would use magic to solve the problem and any stuff, like rescue kidnapped, escape pursuers or giving an edge in modern warfare, even end up in modern school.

    but he/she has no knowledge of modern tech and is new to it.

    novel/ manga or manhua is ok, but as long as it follows the requirement above.

    also he/she is allowed to travel around the world and optionally back to their original world.

    Dead Mount Death Play is the only one that comes to mind but chapter availability in english is somewhat up in the air. The aggregator sites like kissmanga seem to upload the yenpress books but there's no telling if they'll keep up-to-date with raws.

    There are a few, especially korean one’s where it happens but in everyone I know the MC trasmigates from our world to fantasty becomes a mage and then teleports back to our world but then when they return or soon after the fantasy world or something else follows after usually in the form of dungeons opening up in random places and pouring out monsters.

    Example: Seoul Station’s Necromancer (novel) I am the sorcerer king (manga)

    my recommendation is that the character must not be illogical and demonic like personality.
    he/she is a logic thinker and finds the solution with spells without trouble.
    he/she is the only magician in the modern world, otherwise this falls into another troupe.

    the Gamer is close, but he is not from anouther world.

    the MC has come from fantasy world to modern world, and has no idea what this new world is.

    if you read RTW latter half of the story, you'll know how significant, powerful and elusive magic can be when used in modern world. but MC is a Hero/Heroine who struggles with modern standards but finds solutions with spells.

    yea but the MC is not from the fantasy world.

    the MC has to be transported from fantasy world into modern world with retained magic.

    Thats a good one, MC reincarnated from isekai world to modern world.

    is there more where a mage is reincarnated instead of a monster?

    I don't follow the novel itself, but do you mean "Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation"?

    Dead Mount Death Play Is the only story that meet my criteria

    All you people posted do not.

    MC is native from fantasy world who get transported into modern world and he/she has no idea who modern system works.

    Instead being OP ruler and follow his/her won rule, he/she has to adapt the modern society, and with magic skills (perhaps martial arts with ki), MC has to solve these problems.

    I don’t want to read a story where MC is a modern person who got isekaid and went back with powers. They don’t meet my criteria.

    You have gotten two very good answers which you seem to be ignoring.
    Also, learn to quote
