Although I talked about salvaging my failed life, I’m just a newborn baby.

Right now, I can’t do anything, not even my voice has fully developed, so I can’t speak.

So, I apologize.Full novel: Mushoku Tensei: Time Magic Actually Worked — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠

The legendary life of Rudeus Greyrat will have to wait a while longer to begin…

Of course, during this time while I wait for my body to gradually grow, I haven’t been idle.

I’ve been immersing myself in the soft bosoms of Zenith and Lilia every day!

Ah, sorry, that’s not actually true, it’s just normal baby cooing.

As for why I’m doing such childish things, I’m about to explain.

My goals are threefold.

Kill God.

Salvage my failed life.

Protect those I cherish.

Based on these three goals, although I desperately want to implement the plan to kill God right now, I can’t do anything.

The reason is simple.

I cannot let God notice me.

That guy God can see the essence of a person through Future Sight.

Once he notices my existence, he will immediately perceive my unusualness.

Then, he will use various methods to kill me.

Such as sending apostles to attack my young self.

That bastard would absolutely do it.

I can’t block God’s sight.

Although I’ve mastered almost all the magic in the world, the principle of God’s Future Sight is unknown.

Naturally, there’s no way to defend against such prying.

Given this premise, I cannot act rashly, and realizing this is indeed infuriating.

But, don’t underestimate me.

I risked everything, abandoned my original body, and with the determination to try even if it meant death, I traveled through time.

As long as it’s to win at life, I can endure any amount of humiliation.

Before traversing, I wanted to find a way to travel to the World of Void, and the final conclusion was: I can’t do it.

So I can’t confront God head-on.

Even if I am confident that even as a baby, I am capable of defeating most people in this world.

But that guy God can easily manipulate powerful individuals, including lower-ranked powerhouses, so there’s no need to display this strength.

I need more help.

Dragon God, Orsted.

This guy once tried to kill me, but later I realized he was the one who knew the most about God in this world.

I want to find his whereabouts.

But when I had this thought, Nanahoshi, the only one who could contact him, had already…

After parting ways at Red Dragons Jaw, I never saw the Dragon God again.

So this time, I must see the Dragon God, even if I get my heart ripped out…

Ah, let’s try to avoid getting my heart ripped out.

Before meeting the Dragon God, it’s better to try and avoid getting into such a situation.

In any case, I want to meet the God.

Before that, I must live in a way that does not alert the God.

That is to say… Before I meet the God, I will not make any moves that change history.

I am well aware that this choice will lead to some tragedies.

For example, Sylphy’s parents.

For example, the people who died in the Great Transfer incident.

For example, Sauros.

But I’m sorry, I, Rudeus Greyrat, am such a selfish bastard.

Those innocent people, provided it doesn’t hinder my plan, I will try my best to save you.

But if you dare to hinder me… It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I once burned down an entire city just for revenge, you know?

I admit that I was a bit insane at that time.

However, that resolve has been well preserved to this day.

Oh, God.

Your opponent is a bastard who will stop at nothing.

Just hide in the World of Void, wash your neck, and wait.

… Time passed quickly.

In a blink of an eye, two years had passed.

During these two years, I grew up slowly, maintaining my curiosity about everything (especially ample bosoms) as before.

Zenith, Lilia, and Paul all noticed my unusualness to some extent.

But that was all.

On the other hand, I had already started training my magic power as before.

Although due to the laplace factor, my total magic power is so vast that it’s almost inexhaustible, who would complain about having too much magic power?

Moreover, because of the large total magic power, the spells I use are all based on a crazy output without regard for magic power consumption.

Therefore, training magic power is very necessary.

However, Water Magic is still too inefficient, and it can also be mistaken for bedwetting.

Ahem, that’s not the main reason.

Because an infant’s waking hours are limited, I must exhaust my magic power within that limited time.

So my choice is… Gravity Magic.

The magic once used by the King Dragon King, which cannot be reproduced through magic circles, but I mastered it with my astonishing magical attainments.

The magic power consumption is exaggerated, though.

Under normal circumstances, I would keep myself one millimeter off the ground every day, continuously using Gravity Magic to consume magic power while awake.

When my magic power is exhausted, I go to sleep.

It didn’t arouse anyone’s suspicion, and the God should not notice me either.

After all, he is not omniscient and omnipotent; he is just a bastard with future sight.

… One afternoon when I was three years old.

I calculated the time precisely.

It’s time.

It’s time for Roxy to appear before me.

Ah!

Oh, great God!

Let me welcome your arrival with chantless Water Magic!

In the attic, I gathered all my magic power in my palm, forming a huge water sphere.

Throughout, I cast this spell with a devout posture, like a prayer.

Because this is a ritual to summon a God.

So it must be devout!

“Boom—” A huge column of water made a large hole in the wall… Ah, sorry, it seems I made it a bit too big; half the wall disappeared.

Awkward, I forgot that my magic power is even greater now than in my previous life.

“What happened!!

Oh…” Paul rushed up, then looked at the wall destroyed by my God Summoning spell, mouth agape in surprise.

At first, he even suspected it was the work of a demon.

Then Zenith also came over.

Zenith’s mind was clearly quicker; looking at the magic textbook on the floor, the smile on her face grew softer.

Hehe.

Of course, I know what she’s thinking.

When I was born, Zenith and Paul agreed that if it was a boy, he would learn swordsmanship, and if it was a girl, she would learn magic.

I am a boy, so according to the original plan, I should learn swordsmanship.

But now I have shown amazing magical talent.

Then, without a doubt… Afterward, the two argued about whether to hire a mage as a private tutor.

The final decision was as always.

Study magic in the morning, and swordsmanship in the afternoon.

These parents never considered whether a three-year-old child could handle the pressure?

Well, that being said, they are also first-time parents.

Let’s not fuss about such matters.

Immediately after.

A few days later.

The God descended beside me.
