CHAPTER 1: PATH

"Huh? Where am I?" He asks, unsure of his whereabouts. "Hey!! It's like an ancient.. ancient house? uhh.. maybe I'm mistaken.." he exclaims as he notices the wood walls. "Wait!" he says as he notices a chandelier above him as the wood transforms into a mansion.

He notices troops in front of him and says, "Huh? What happened? Wow.. a magnificent chandelier, and... Woahhh!! a wall, patterns are so fantastic like UK's castle." However, as he lifts his right hand, he notices a baby's hand. 

"Why are there people who dress in bizarre clothes? It is 2022 right now and yet they have armor? Uhhh... maybe it was a movie, and I slept while playing the movie scene." "What?? what is this? a baby hand? is movie technology this advanced? or maybe it's true? a hologram? an app? What the - "

He then recalls being hit by a vehicle. "I remember that day, I was bumped in that automobile, and my vision was clouded, I saw doctors and lights... after that, I slept and when I woke up, this is what I saw right now. Wait???" 

He looks around and sees the giant lady holding him and a man like a king is so joyful and hugs the woman a lot. Many individuals in that room are overjoyed, and some are even sobbing. "Maybe it's not a movie... Isn't it real? I hope not. Wait a minute..."

As he told it,

"Hello, little fella. David, I appreciate your homecoming," King Ash said while caressing his cheeks gently.

"Wait?? David?? Who is it? Who is it? My name is Macario... sir... I am Macario," murmured the infant.

Many others around him observe that he is yawning and giggling continuously as if he is tired while attempting to chat with that individual.

"You're so cute, David!! I'm so thankful to our Goddess Chiha and God Olympus for bringing you back to us... I swear I'll take care of you together with your father in gods and goddesses' aid." Queen Era while sobbing. 

Then she holds him with controlled pressure to ensure David can breathe and does not resist or cry if he is squeezed by her hug.

David exclaimed, "A-a-a.. a-am... I... a.. b-b-baby? A-are you kidding me, m-me?" "I'm 25 years old, I have a girlfriend right now, but now I'm dead? Are you kidding me, I transform into a baby!!!! It's absurd, idiotic, dumb, moronic, ludicrous, and stupid! Arrrggghhhh!"

But when people are observing him, his wrath is adorable. They predicted that one day he would grow up to be a happy, sociable child.

It's been a month since that day. He wonders if he is a newborn baby or not when he is just a week old. In that universe, there are 50 hours in a day, with 30 hours of daylight and 20 hours of darkness, making up a day. There are 10 months, 10 weeks, and 10 days in a year.

"I'm a newborn baby.. I can't even walk straight. But is it a newborn baby's hand? They claimed I was already dead. So, maybe I'm not a newborn baby. 

Maybe I'm 3 or 4 months here. But why I am reincarnated.. I thought it was not true?" says David as he continues to be in awe of this space. Seeing Queen Era's breast, he is at that point.

He will about to touch it but he recalls that if she is his mother in this world, so he forgets about it. He was about to say before, "Wow... this is my first time.." and then thought, "Hey, maybe it is acceptable for me because I'm still a baby.. maybe I can touch her breast." 

But he didn't do it. Before he passed away, he was older than her mother, Queen Era, who is nearly 20 years, he face is younger  than her present age. But King Ash is about thirty years old but also, Queen Era's blessings, immortality after they married. He was unaware that King Ash, their generals, and only they knew that Queen Era is a goddess.

Then, when his mother carries him, David sobs. "Huh? Why am I just sobbing because I'm hungry?"

In response, Queen Era remarked, "Hey.. Hey.. my little baby boy.. don't cry.. wait for your milk.. David.. wait a minute.."

David is screaming and stopping Queen Era while he is drinking milk. "Wh-what??? Hey child!! Stop crying.. Hey!!!! stop!! Wh-what!! stop!! It's lovely... Is it similar to my mother's milk when I was only a newborn baby before she passed away?" He asks himself if he might feel it again.

He makes a promise to himself that he will guard her mother, Queen Era, as he did with his own deceased mother. 

He also vows to learn many weapons, wield swords, and work hard in his studies to one day become a king, which was his previous ambition.

 In this role, no one will be able to command him; instead, they will only be able to make requests, and no one will be able to disregard his ideas, which are occasionally successful but never consistently.

He then became aware of magic. David said in awe, "Wow.. is there magic here in this world?" David is sobbing as he plots, "Okay, great. I will cry and disregard mother's milk." "But I only heard about it? 

Maybe it is not real... hmmm.. what if I cried? but my mother is here, so, maybe she would ready her milk again to feed me.. so, what will I do? "

David rejects Queen Era's offer to feed him. Later, she encounters David and learns that he wants other things instead of milk. She puts him to the test first and attempts to make him laugh.

She asks her staff for help since David is always crying and Queen Era gives him an unusual look and remarks, "I don't know whether occasionally she makes a newborn baby sick despite her loveliness." 

They ask to attempt a few different approaches in order to be sure David would stop crying. They even touch his forehead, which is normal. Sadly, this is not the cause; Queen Era calls the healers to treat him if he has a curse or a dreadful ailment. 

Afterward, she places King Ash's call. He is not sure what to do even after hearing everything she has to say.

David thinks, "What if I gesture with my hands to offer them a hint?" Then he imitates the" hame kame wave" from Dragon Ball Z, even moving just with his hand.

King Ash, on the other hand, has no idea what David is saying and can only laugh at him. Then, Queen Era pinches him behind the back. 

It appears as though blood is flowing between him and his son all of a sudden, and he appears to be noticing him. Then he performs a magic spell on David, sending magical particles flowing and swirling in his direction.

David was astounded as if time had frozen, "Wooooahhhh!!! It's real. Magic is real."

David is in awe of his father, King Ash, who performed a magic trick that day. At the age of 2, he was able to walk, run, read, and write, earning the nickname "prodigy" from his peers. 

Nevertheless, he has more talents than most kids his age. He immediately requests King Ash to wield a sword and teach him properly.

David asked his father, "Dad, can you teach me how to use a sword?"

"There are too many royal kids, friends of mine from other kingdoms and empires, even in distant nations, so don't worry, David. You have to learn how to have fun by playing with your pals." King Ash said.

Despite the fact that they may be fake friends for him, David once said, "Father, I enjoy wielding a sword and casting magic spells spending time with you more than playing with my friends. They only befriend me, not because they want to, but all of them are forced to take that advantage to get near with you. It's like I'm an instrument or bridge to get near you, and maybe, some of them can endanger you. I don't want to become friends with them."

King Ash is unsure of David's mental state. He doesn't even understand the kingdom's security measures, particularly those pertaining to the king and queen, but he is aware of them and gives the impression that he has improved them. 

David, you are only two years old right now, yet I'm curious as to how you managed to become smart so young.

David smirks before turning away from his father. "Of course, I was 25 years old when I passed away. I had good grades and was even a brown belt in judo and taekwondo. I also won a bronze medal in the mathematics quiz bee and placed in the top four in the national tournament for the science quiz bee. Even though I wasn't always in the lead, I always had an ace up my sleeve."

King Ash answered, "All right, David. I will teach you how to handle the sword in the morning and the night for casting spells.

"Even if I'm not the best magician or swordsman, my strength is still above average. I defeated numerous kings, monsters, as well as wyverns and dragons, and I didn't become a king through luck."

King Ash is usually serious about combat, therefore their training has just started. As a result, while he is training David, he yells and criticizes him if he fails to perform the correct wielding of the sword. 

When King Kyle started to teach David how to wield a sword, King Kyle would tell them, "David! When you wield a sword, you have to bring an impact that the enemy will not stand anymore. 

You have to wield your sword properly, and if you do not really do something if you can't attack your opponent for various reasons, you can choose one small error that will lead to defeat. 

If you end up losing and dying, there is no going back; if you end up dying, you end up dying!!!" King Kyle would also tell him, "David, chant your words properly. Cast defense, defense, and defense, and if you have a chance, then, cast an offensive spell."

King Ash wants to continue the training despite David's fatigue. David continues because he is ready to outgrow him in strength and power in order to rule. 

Queen Era notices David's father yelling as he is really exhausted as she is walking across the kingdom at the time. 

King Ash is the recipient of Queen Era's ice magic. King Ash, who is afraid since he knows it was his queen's power, starts to escape quickly as soon as he spots Queen Era.

Queen Era yells at King Ash, "What are you doing to my David?" Queen Era is after King Ash as he flees and yells, "Come back here!"

"Please, have compassion, my sweetheart, dear! He is the one who asks for instruction and I simply aid him," pleaded King Ashley as Queen Era pursued him.

Then, Queen Era would have the chance to hurl an ice spell and hit King Ash. King Ash avoids it, Queen Era leaps at him, and he is left with no choice but to catch Queen Era's fists and got beaten.

David makes a self-promise to himself on that day that he won't upset or offend his mother ever.
