I reincarnate in this body? It''s been about a month since I did.
On the day of my reincarnation, I cried for the sake of my age. I''m ashamed to think that a good adult, over 20 years old, cried like that in my previous life.
I think anyone would have cried if their dead mother had suddenly appeared in front of them. At least that''s how surprised I was to cry.
My body has grown steadily since that day, but this body was still like mine.
The me of my previous life - Eric''s me - is now my own baby at the moment.
........I don''t know what that means.
The fact that I was reincarnated is ... well, I understand. I think it makes sense to the world.
But why do I have memories and an ego?
And the most mysterious thing is - why am I being reincarnated as "me"?
After a month, I''m sure of it. This body, this baby, is me. It''s a perfect match for Eric in his previous life.
This room I''m in now, the room I used to live in when I was a little boy, I calmly observe.
Is this a reincarnation? Isn''t that a complete rewind of time?
No, I know that this body is me, but is time really rewinding?
I thought about it many times over the course of a month, but I had no answers at all.
As I was thinking about that, the door to this room was opened.
And the one who came in was my mother - Serena.
''''Eric-chan, it''s time for dinner~''''
Mom spooned the meal she was holding and offered it to my mouth.
I open my small mouth as wide as possible to welcome the spoon.
''I''m sorry it''s so hard to eat - I wish I could have gotten some milk out of it...''
My mom doesn''t seem to have any milk. I think it would be difficult to feed her with a spoon if she were a normal baby, but she is an adult over 20 years old, so she does her best to open her mouth and sip something like milk.
I''m so proud of you, Eric, for being able to eat it without spilling it.
It''s a small baby-like mouth, though, so you''d expect it to spill a little.
But for me, I''m glad my mother doesn''t have any milk.
It''s a bit hard for an adult over 20 to get milk from his or her mother.
She takes her time and finishes eating, and then she cleans my mouth and bed before she leaves.
My belly is full and Mom has left, so I try to calm down a little more and think about it.
I''ve spent the past month trying to understand and sort out my situation, but I need to think about the future.
Maybe I''m back in the past. I have no idea why or anything else, but I''d say my mom and this house are the proof.
Does that mean - can I start my life over again?
I hadn''t been able to help with everything.
The destruction of my village, the death of my parents and childhood friends, the death of my best friend and the death of my best friend... the death of Irene was all due to my lack of ability.
If I had been stronger--.
How many dozens or hundreds of times have I thought that?
And now - now - I''m back to being a baby, and I''m ready to start over.
What if - can I save everything?
Will I be able to do over and over again what I regret over and over again?
This reincarnation no, a rewinding of fate.
I thought it was reincarnation and I hated that fate but thank God for this fate.
--I will save it all, I swear.
If we don''t save it, then it ends badly, it''s over.
My village, my parents, my childhood friends, my best friend, and the people I love.
If I don''t have any of those things, there''s no point in going back in time.
In my previous life, I was compromised and regretted my life.
I couldn''t even protect the person I swore to protect with everything I had, and I killed myself in despair.
If I could come back and do it all over again - I wouldn''t compromise a single bit. I would do everything I regretted.
--I will live my life with arrogance and change my fate.
The next time I thought this, I felt sleepy from the repercussions of being full and thinking too much.
I have more things to think about, more things to do, but I can''t resist the drowsiness at this point in time, and my consciousness fades away.
--and the next day.
The next day, I started to act to save everything.
There are things I can do even with my body that doesn''t even sit on my neck.
That is - practicing magic.
I can''t train my body, but I can practice magic without moving.
But you can''t actually produce fire or water. Well, I can''t get it out right away, but I did in my previous life. I think I can get it out with a little practice, but I''ll do that when I can walk and go outside.
For now, I need to manipulate the element of magic power in my body, the magic element, to increase its limit amount.
The quantity and the quality of the magic element are very important to activate the magic.
The amount of magic element is necessary to increase the size of the magic and the number of hits. If the quantity of magic element is not increased, you can''t shoot magic immediately, and you will be disadvantaged in the battle.
And in order to shoot big magic with a few magical elements, the quality of the magical elements has to be improved. Even if we only increase the quantity of magic elements, if we don''t increase the quality of the magic elements, it won''t be efficient.
The quantity and the quality of the magic element. These two things can be done without moving.
It''s just a matter of controlling the magical elements inside the body.
It would be better to practice taking the magical elements from the air into your body, but this is not possible right now, so you shouldn''t be too proud of yourself.
Moreover, the amount of this magic element seems to grow faster until you''re about eighteen years old, and after that, the limit amount doesn''t increase much.
In my past life, I started when I was sixteen years old, so I was only able to increase my limit amount for about two years.
Moreover, in the beginning, it was difficult to handle the magic element, and I couldn''t even increase the limit amount.
But this time, I can practice from now on as a baby with the tips and tricks memorized.
In other words, the fact that I can practice as a baby means that I can continue to increase it for eighteen years.
This is a big advantage. I''ll be fighting many battles in the future, so I''m happy to be able to increase the amount of magic element.
So, let''s do this now.
I can manipulate the magic element in my body and collect it in my hand or, in more detail, in the tips of my fingers.
After practicing for three minutes, I was soon tired.
As the magic element was disappearing from my body, I became extremely fatigued and eventually fainted.
I used the magic element to the very last minute, and when I couldn''t even move a finger anymore, my consciousness faded away - I opened my eyes slowly.
Slowly, I open my eyes--.
It''s been about an hour since then? I can''t see the clock, so I don''t know exactly, but in terms of internal time, I guess that''s about it.
This ''magic element run out'' fainted, this time it was my first time, so it only took me about an hour, but the longer I fainted, the longer it took for the amount of magic element to increase.
Since the body absorbs magical elements from the air while fainting, it''s designed to wake up when the amount of magical elements exceeds 80% of its limit.
That''s why this stunting process takes longer each time the amount of magic power is increased.
However, if the quality of the magic element is increased, the speed at which it is absorbed by the body from the magic in the air will increase, so the fainting time will decrease.
Again, the quantity and quality of the magic element is important.
Okay, let''s keep this up.
With that in mind, I started to manipulate the magic element in the same way as before - I was able to do it.
