First days

Upon hearing the voice inside me, I was quite surprised, but unconsciously selected the option [Yes].

After doing so, the words around me began to be understandable.

— Congratulations, sir and ma'am. It's a healthy baby.

"A healthy baby? So there's a birth happening in the other room," I said to myself with a little more calmness in my heart. For I would have been very unlucky if I just reincarnated and found myself in the home of some crazy or psychopath.

"Moreover, it seems I really have the [Great Sage] ability," I thought excitedly, as I recalled the voice I had heard recently. So, have I arrived in the Slime world?

But this idea was quickly doubted when I heard around me.

ꟷHas a name been chosen?

ꟷYes, he will be named Arthur ꟷsaid a gentle voice, which seemed tired.

ꟷHello, little Art, I'm your dad. Can you say 'da-da'?ꟷ Another slightly thicker and quite excited voice was heard.

ꟷDarling, he's just been born.

While listening to the dialogue, a sense of familiarity came to me, as if I had heard a very similar dialogue, as well as the newly named name.

ꟷOh, it seems the sleepyhead also woke up ꟷsaid a gentle voice, taking me by surprise as she carried me in her arms and took me out of that cage.

The woman who carried me looked very normal, and also seemed a bit tired.

ꟷMiss, this little one has already awakened ꟷshe said, as she approached the woman who was lying down.

That woman was lovely, in a very kind and gentle way, with reddish-brown hair and brown eyes. In one of her arms, there was a very cute baby, with a small round face, short reddish-brown hair, and big bright blue eyes.

ꟷLittle Alex, say hello to your younger brother Arthur ꟷshe said softly, as she brought us closer to each other. ꟷI'm sure you both will get along very well.

Paying attention to the words of that woman and looking at the baby in front of me, a brief memory passed through my mind, surprising me.

"Art?... Arthur Leywin?... No wonder it sounded so familiar. It seems I didn't arrive in the Slime world, but came to the world of TBATE. But, if my memory serves me right, this place is not exactly safe; a war is looming, and also, what will happen next?".

I couldn't finish the novel, as I only watched the Manhwa, so I fell far behind in the story and didn't complete it, not to mention that some pieces of my memory are missing, so I can't remember the plot clearly from what I managed to see. I couldn't help but feel a little sorry, because if I knew this would happen, I would have started reading the novel.

But something good about this is that I'm not as lost as before, because I now know where I am and who the people around me are.

The woman holding me should be Alice Leywin, the mother of the protagonist of this world, while the charismatic-looking man in front of us should be her husband and Arthur's father, Reynolds Leywin.

"So, he's the famous Arthur." As I thought, I glanced again at the baby in front of me. I must admit he has all the charm of a protagonist, although I never stopped to think what it would be like to be the sibling of a protagonist. Should it be a good thing? With the familiarity and blood bond, I could gain many advantages. However, this would also lead to having many enemies.

Although I sincerely believe it shouldn't matter too much, after all, with the [Great Sage], I should have the ability to grow rapidly.

But beyond the pros and cons, it will be interesting to have a younger brother, as there are many things that can be done just by being the elder, especially if this younger brother turns out to be the protagonist of this world.

Thinking about it, I honestly couldn't help but smile.

After that brief moment and after we both had some milk, we were sent back to the large cage, but this time I wasn't alone, Arthur was beside me, completely asleep.

As for me, my attention turned to other matters.

ꟷ[Great Sage], tell me your functions and those of the [Predator] ability.

<< Received. The unique ability "Great Sage" mainly comprises the following five effects: >>

<< Thought Acceleration: Increases perception speed thousands of times. >>

<< Analyze and Evaluate: Analyzes and evaluates the target. >>

<< Parallel Operation: Operates on any matter you wish to analyze, separating it from the usual thought process. >>

<< Launch Cancellation: Cancels the required launch period when using magic, etc. >>

<< Total Creation: Provides full coverage of all phenomena and matter not suppressed in this world. >>

<< Received. The unique ability "Predator" mainly comprises the following five effects: >>

<< Predation: Takes the target into its body. Lower success chance if the target has its own consciousness. Can be aimed at organic and inorganic objects, as well as skills and magic. >>

<< Analysis: Analyzes and investigates targets taken into its body. Allows you to create items. If required materials are present, it allows you to make a copy of the item. Successful analysis of the launching method allows you to learn the skills and magic of the target. >>

<< Stomach: Stores the Predated target. It can also store materials created through Analysis. Items stored in your stomach are not affected by time. >>

<< Mimicry: Reproduces the form and abilities of absorbed targets. Only available once the target has been Analyzed. >>

<< Isolation: Stores harmful effects unable to be analyzed, neutralizing and breaking them down into magical force. >>

Noticing that the abilities were practically the same as I remembered, I couldn't help but smile quite satisfied because, although I didn't fully understand their extent, I understood very well that their limit was incredibly high, reminiscent of the level reached in the Slime novel.

Likewise, even though my system is a bit strange, I really don't need much more than these two abilities to become extremely strong in the future. As I thought about it, I couldn't help but gradually fall asleep, as I had completely relaxed.

So, some days passed, and with them, my mischievous nature gradually appeared.

The first time was when I saw that my brother had dirtied his diaper. Seeing it and thinking that he was a former king in his past life, I couldn't help but point and laugh at him. This caused the already embarrassed Arthur to blush even more, covering his face while his diaper was being changed.

"Alex, don't laugh at your brother. I'll check your diaper too after I'm done," said Alice, who was also my mother, trying to pretend to be serious.

I simply looked at her unconcerned, as if to say, "Come, check, and you'll see that everything is clean."

As for me, I had asked for help from the [Great Sage] to help me manage my body more efficiently, so I could decide when to excrete and when not to. This, by chance, generated another ability called [Body Control], which allowed me to better control every part of my body.

With time, the moment finally came when I stopped depending on others and could transport myself from one place to another on my own, as I had started to crawl. This was even a bit faster than Arthur himself, who was still trying to control his motor skills.

"It's time to take advantage of the legal loophole," I thought.

With this in mind, I started crawling around the house followed by my father, who was following me to prevent any accidents. Paying no attention to the big bodyguard following me, I approached my parents' room because my victim was there.
