Chapter 1: New-born Emperor

This new series will be released daily on Mondays, and you can read ahead on Patreon! Hope you enjoy (:

Im eating baby food right now. If any of this food is poisoned, then I will die soon. I suppressed my fear as I ate the liquid food that was being carried to my mouth.

I read some light novels about reincarnation in my previous life but did I read any where the protagonists spent their infancy in fear? I didnt have any reincarnation cheats, nor did I talk to god, nor am I obliged to do anything, or requested to do something

I dont even remember how I died in my previous life. But well, Im pretty sure I didnt have many friends because I didnt trust people very much.

I dont believe I was someone who died saving someone, so I dont think this reincarnation is a reward.

My reincarnation isnt I apologise, I made a mistake; if it were, then I would probably have had a conversation with God. But is it possible for that memory to be erased? No, no, I wouldnt be an assassination target with no cheats if that had happened.

Which means this is divine punishment after all? Punishment What did I do? I was just a normal guy who didnt have the mental capacity to do something terrible that would result in me being punished like this.

My memories of my previous life are hazy I can remember the faces of my parents and siblings, but I cant remember their names. I cant remember my own name either. I dont have any memories at all about my death, so I dont know if I did anything that would cause me to be punished.

By the way, this paste tastes disgusting. Isnt it poisoned?

Well then, theres one thing in this world that I feel has potential. Something in the air that I obviously didnt feel in my previous life.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

When the maid burnt garbage in the garden, they produced sparks from their fingertips.

Its magic. Fantasy, confirmed.

Im a bit excited.

Well, Im always under someones watchful eye no matter what I do, and the only thing I can do is play with the magical thing in front of me as a baby.

Toys? I play with wooden blocks and stuff just to control my hands and fingers.

Now, this magical thing I guess I can just call it magic.

If I can somehow control this at will, then I can gain my own fighting power. Combat power was directly related to survival in the medieval ages and early modern period. I want to be able to use magic by any means necessary.

Ill try to feel it first. Yup. I cant feel anything. I cant feel any change even if I can perceive it. Also, I didnt know if magic formed through particles or if it flows in the wind or something since I cant see it.

In that case, the next step is pray. Gather around my finger gather

Nope. I dont feel it gathering in my finger at all. I wonder if I need to chant after all.

Au~, ah~. (Wind, blow)

Hmm, well, it didnt work. I knew that it wouldnt. The maid is looking at me and smiling.

Ah~, I cant do this anymore. I dont know. I only feel like I can control it.

Alright, Your Majesty. Its time to sleep.

Hey, nanny, thats really uncomfortable. Wont you stop? Im the King. Im the King. You cant use the title of the highest authority in the kingdom like that its like some weird play.

Now then, she picked me up and laid me on a wastefully sparkling bed with a fence and a canopy.

Why is the bed gold and shiny? What bad taste.

Well, lets forget about that for now. I completely forgot about the important thing that is often found in otherworldly novels.

Magic items. If theres magic, then theres usually magic items, and Im probably using this magic item.

Im a baby, so of course I will poop and soil myself. Im really used to this. Theres no point in resisting. Theres no shame in this.

The diapers of this world are of course not convenient disposable diapers, but cloth ones.

But the cloth gets soaked every time you piss, right? Normally.

But the ones I use dont. Its strange. Then, I looked down and noticed it for the first time. Well, I dont know why I didnt notice it before. There was something attached to it.

At the tip of my private region there was something that looked like a very shortened smoking pipe.

I spent the rest of the day observing this tool after I noticed it.

I found out that the nannies also changed this tool whenever they changed my cloth diaper. To be precise, they only changed the tool that was attached to me. They would turn it to remove it and put another one back on.

However, its removed once a day when Im soaked in hot water.

I hadnt noticed this before because I always looked away when they changed the cloth or bathed me Its still awkward even though Im used to it.

Now, the tool that has been attached to that region of my private is definitely a magic tool. The tip is far too small for the amount of water it absorbs. Im sure some kind of magic is at work here.

So, what kind of magic is being used in this magic tool? Im going to think about it in my spare time.

Well, I dont know the rules, effects, limits, or price of magic in this world, so its a completely unknown concept For example, itll be hopeless if I have to pray to a spirit, but Ill think about that when the time comes. Ill have to remember it when I learn about the myths and legends of this world.

So, lets start by assuming that there isnt much difference between magic in this world and my understanding of magic (that is from the knowledge of my previous life).

First, the basic effect of this tool is to absorb water. I think its either water absorption or compression. It gets removed every time I take a bath, probably to prevent it from malfunctioning rather than for maintenance purposes.

I thought about transfer as well but if that were the case then I dont see why they would need to change it regularly.

The next important thing is odour absorption. Ive started eating all sorts of pastes and it stinks, if I do say so myself. But I cant smell my urine at all while Im wearing this magic tool. Thats even when its being changed.

Which means that this magic tool not only absorbs water, but it also absorbs odours.

I dont know if scents can be compressed. Scientific law from my previous life and the laws of magic in this world might not match in some aspects. So, I personally think that the moisture and odour are being absorbed without distinction.

Finally, the cost-effectiveness of this tool.

It actually comes in a variety of shapes. Well, the basic shape and the join between the shaft and the tip are perfectly consistent. Aside from that, the rest of it was slightly bent, and there were some obvious marks carved on it. For a second, I got scared and thought it might be cursed, but the maids would have noticed it. Im not sure why it would have been overlooked. Oh, I think its probably some store name or something.

Theres a high possibility that this item was made by hand by a craftsman. This mark is the craftsmans logo.

Then, its possible to apply a reusable transfer spell to it. Of course, since theres magic tools with water absorption and odour absorption, then theres probably magic tools with evaporation but whats scarier is the possibility that theyre destroying the tool every time.

Its not normal. Its too expensive for the effect it provides. Its wasteful.

Dont tell me Im an Emperor, even if Im corrupt. Its possible.

Is this alright? The people wont start a revolution, right? Enlightenment hasnt spread yet, right? I dont want any uprisings or to be sent to the guillotine Seriously

Ah, Im getting sleepy. Im going to sleep now.
