(What’s wrong with him? Why isn’t he crying?)
Instead of hearing the sound of a newborn weeping as he left the womb of his mother, they could only see a strangely confused face on the baby.
(Doctor, is my baby okay?)
The man with a white coat waved his hands, and his body glowed a slight greenish color. There seemed to be a mirage or a semi-transparent image of vines and leaves growing on his face.
He looked at the baby in his hands.
(I’m perplexed. There’s nothing physically wrong with the baby.)
…
While his parents were worrying for his safety, Michael was still processing his reincarnation to this world.
He looked at the faces around him.
The man holding him upright seemed to be the doctor, given that he was the one who pulled him out of his mother’s womb.
Speaking of his mother, she still laid on her bed and looked at him the way a mother would when a doctor tells her that something’s wrong with her baby: unreasonably worried.
Her golden yellow hair spread out freely onto her pillows, showing the hard labor he put her through.
She looks human…at least the God put me into a world still similar to my old one.
She looked beautiful, too. If she were transported into his original world, there would be no doubt that she would be recruited into a Korean idol agency early on in her life, just from her looks alone.
Meanwhile, his father stood right next to his mother. His stubble beard matched well with his ‘princely’ uniform, making him look extremely dignified. He looked like he had just come home from being awarded with tons of medals from the army.
Both of his parents looked like they were ripped straight out of a medieval painting.
Are they seriously cosplaying during my birth? And where am I? This room doesn’t look like a hospital.
[This is now your house.]
A home birth? I thought God reincarnated me into the richest household in the world. Can’t they afford the best medical help in the world? I don’t even see any ultrasound machines or fetal monitoring systems…
[They are from the richest family in the world but there are no machines present in this room.]
Then, he saw something strange. The doctor who was holding him suddenly lit up with an ethereal green light. He was glowing!
What the?!
[I have detected the doctor’s use of examining magic.]
Magic?! There’s magic in this world?
In hindsight, Michael shouldn’t be surprised. God knew that he liked anime and fantasy books, so he would definitely transport him into a magical world instead of a normal one.
[Would you like to learn more about this magic?]
Uhh..yeah, sure.
[Analyzing magic…]
[Magic theory acquired.]
[Medical Eyes]
— ★★★
— Earth and Light element
— This magic allows the user to peer through a target’s body and observe it for any abnormality or disease.
Michael saw the words appear in his vision, much like what a ‘system’ looked like in most anime and fantasy series he saw back in his old world.
If I’m like one of those MCs who can copy every ability, spell, and power I see, then this reincarnation might be better than I thought.
After all, magic allowed conveniences that even his old world couldn’t achieve.
Humans in his previous life would have needed a forklift to lift a heavy rock. But in this world, if mages were anything like the series he watched, they could do it with a simple spell.
The same goes for a water spell. It could have solved world hunger in his old world.
This is good! I could have a more comfortable life in this life.
Since he was now a rich kid, he could simply buy butlers and mages at his disposal. He didn’t have to go to school, he didn’t have to work to earn money, and he could just inherit everything he needed from the richest family in the entire world.
[There is a high possibility that your parents would hire a private tutor for you to learn administrative duties.]
Michael ignored ChatJK1. Why would he need to learn things when his personal AI assistant could do all the work for him?
The only problem is the fact that I can’t watch my favorite anime and series in this world. Speaking of which, where’s the TV? Where’s the air conditioning?
And as he looked around the room, a daunting realization came to pass.
Instead of seeing a well-lit room and feeling the freshly cold, refrigerated air revolve around the room, Michael only saw candles and oil lamps attached to the walls.
No…
Slowly, the pieces finally came together. The home birth, the unsanitary room, the royal attire of his parents, and the lack of a single light bulb in the room finally made him realize the horrible situation God put him in.
He reincarnated into a world stuck in the medieval times!
He might have been born into the richest family in the world, but even the Kings and Queens were living like peasants compared to normal people in the modern world.
But that wasn’t even the worst part.
Where are the magic lights?
If this world had magic in it, why weren’t people taking advantage of the fact that mages could summon water, fire, air, and ground from out of nowhere?
And what is that smell?
[That smell comes from feces.]
Feces…wait a minute…what about toilets? Don’t tell me…
[There is a high possibility that this world doesn’t have any plumbing.]
NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Michael had no choice but to scream out his frustrations about this world that the God put him into. There was nothing comfortable about living in this life!
…
[Uwaaaaa!]
Seeing the baby finally cry out made his parents and the doctor extremely happy.
He seemed to be a very healthy baby boy.
