Chapter 2
Life is resetting once more.
The legendary journey of Rudeus Grayrat is only just about to begin.
The legend has yet to begin ಠ_ಠ
Although I talk about striving to redeem my lost life, I am essentially a newborn, yeah, as in like Gugu gaga.
At this moment, I am completely helpless, even my voice is underdeveloped and I cannot speak, I'm basically a nonchalant baby, type shit. ಠಿ_ಠ
So, I'm sorry.
It will take a while before Rudeus Grayrat's legendary tale can truly start. ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ
...
Of course, I wasn't just sitting idle while waiting for my body to mature, hmpf.
It feels fantastic though; I can enjoy the soft embrace of Zenith and Lilia every day! (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Ah, excuse me, it's not like that. It's just a regular baby being a baby. (-_-;)・・・
As for why I'm doing such childish things, I will explain shortly.
My goals are threefold.
Kill hitogami, hmpf, no Capital letters for you, nuh uh.
Rescue a life that has gone wrong.
Protect those I cherish.
Based on these three objectives, even though I am eager to begin the plan to kill hitogami, I am unable to do anything right now.
The reason is straightforward.
I can't allow hitogami to perceive me.
He can see a person's essence through foresight. The moment he realizes I'm different, he'll immediately understand my unusual nature.
Then, he could employ various strategies to end my life.
For instance, POW! APOSTLE I CHOOSE YOU, GO KILL RUDEUS !(ﾉﾟ0ﾟ)ﾉ
That villain would definitely have the capacity to do that.
I cannot conceal myself from the observation of hitogami. Although I've mastered nearly every form of magic in existence, yes, I know I'm great—the mechanics of the foresight hitogami has remains a mystery.
Thus, I have no means of defending against his intrusive gaze.
Given this reality, I must refrain from taking hasty actions. Just thinking about it is incredibly frustrating.(ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻
But don't underestimate my resolve.
I sacrificed everything, relinquished my former life, and opted to take the risk even if it meant death, all to time travel.
As long as it leads to victory in life, I'm willing to endure any humiliation.... I think?
Before attempting to travel through time, I aimed to discover a way to reach the realm of nothingness. My ultimate answer was:
It's impossible.
As a result, I cannot confront hitogami directly.
Even though I hold confidence, even as an infant, I am capable of overcoming most people in this world.(Dio pose)
However, hitogami can effortlessly dominate strong people, including those of lesser strength, negating the need for me to display this power.
I require additional assistance.
Dragon God, Orsted.
This guy once stole my heart, no yaoi though ಠ_ಠ . He killed me, but I came to realize he possesses the greatest knowledge about hitogami.
I aim to find him.
Yet, when that thought crossed my mind, only Nanahoshi was able to reach him, she was already. . .
After the red dragon's mouth opened, I lost sight of the dragon god for good.
Thus, this time, I need to seek out the Dragon God, regardless of the pain it might cause. . .ಥ‿ಥ
Ah, I would prefer to avoid it, even if it means risking everything.
Before encountering the Dragon God, it would be wise for me to steer clear of such a predicament.
In summary, I yearn to meet the Dragon God, no yaoi though ಠ_ಠ .
Until that moment arrives, I must live in a manner that does not attract suspicion from that bitch hitogami.
In other words. . .
Prior to visiting the Dragon God, I will refrain from taking any action that alters history.
I know well that this selection will lead to certain tragedies.
For instance, the parents of Sylphy.
For another, the individuals who perished during the grand transfer incident.
Such as Sauros.
Yet I must admit, I, Rudeus Grayrat, can be quite selfish.
I will strive to save those innocent lives, provided it does not obstruct my plans.
But if you dare to interfere with me. . .be prepared to dance, you know what dance I'm talking about.
I'm a bit embarrassed to say it, but there was a time I incinerated an entire city just to express my rage. (^～^;)ゞ
I acknowledge that I was somewhat unhinged back then.
Nevertheless, this awareness has remained intact until the present.
hitogami.
Your adversary is a ruthless individual, hehehehe
Just hide in the realm of nothingness, prepare yourself, and wait.
...
Time passes swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, two years have flown by.
Throughout the two years I spent here, I maintained my curiosity about everything as before (especially regarding full breasts) and gradually matured.
Zenith, Lilia, and Paul all sensed something was amiss about me to a degree.
But that was as far as it went.
Meanwhile, I continued to work on my magic as I had done before.
Though the Laplace factor has granted me an overwhelming amount of magical energy that is nearly impossible to deplete, who could possibly complain about possessing more magic? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And because the overall magical capacity is substantial, the spells I cast occur in an erratic manner, irrespective of the magical power utilized.
Thus, engaging in magical training is essential.
Nonetheless, the effectiveness of water magic remains low, and it could be confused with bed wetting.
Um, this is not the primary cause...
Because a baby has only a short amount of time awake each day, I must make the most of my magical abilities within those hours.
So my choices are. . .
Gravity magic. This world shall know pain, Shinrai ten—
The magic previously utilized by the Dragon King couldn't be replicated using magic circles, but I have learned it through my exceptional magical talents. (Dio pose)
The energy consumption of the magic is heightened.
Typically, I maintain a distance of one millimeter above the ground each day, continuously employing gravity magic while I'm awake, which drains my magical energy.
I go to sleep once I have exhausted my magical powers.
This never raised any suspicions, and it's highly unlikely that hitogami would notice me.
After all, that bitch is neither all-knowing nor all-powerful; he's merely a jerk with foresight.
...
One afternoon when I was three years old.
I measured the time perfectly.
It's the moment.
It's the moment for Roxy to show up before me.
Ahhhhhhhhhh! (emotional orgasm)
My Goddess (´ε｀ )
Let me use non-chant water magic to greet you!
I'm in the attic, gathering all my magic into the palm of my hand, creating a massive sphere of water.
Throughout this entire process, I executed this magic with a reverential mindset.
This is a ceremony to call upon My GODDESS ＼(ﾟｰﾟ＼)
Thus, one must be sincere!
Boom—!
The enormous water column blasted a sizable hole in the wall. . . sorry, it seems I got a bit carried away, as half of the wall has vanished.
Awkwardly, I forgot that my magic capacity is now greater than it was in my previous life.(-_-;)・・・
"What happened! ! Oh. . . "
Paul rushed upstairs and gazed at the wall wrecked by my Goddess's Summoning Technique, eyes wide in astonishment.
Initially, he thought this might be the work of a monster.
Then Zenith arrived.
Zenith's thoughts were clearly racing, and the smile on her face softened as she surveyed the magic textbook lying on the floor.
Hee-hee. I certainly know what she's thinking.
When I was just born, Zenith and Paul made a deal: if I was a boy, I would learn swordsmanship, and if a girl, I would study magic.
I am a boy, so as per the original plan, swordsmanship was supposed to be my path.
But now I've demonstrated extraordinary magical abilities.
Therefore, it's clear. . .
Later on, they debated about whether to bring in a magician as a tutor.
In the end, the decision stayed the same.
Magic in the morning and swordsmanship in the afternoon.
These parents never thought about whether a three-year-old child could handle that kind of pressure.
Well, to be fair, they are also new parents.
They don't sweat the small stuff, heh.
Then. . .
A few days later.
My Goddess came to me.
