章節 1: 1. Reincarnation
It started as an ordinary day. I rolled out of bed at 7 a.m., ready to face another mundane day at work. But as I was about to leave, a notification popped up on my phone, bringing everything to a halt. It was the final chapter of my favorite novel.
Abandoning my plans for punctuality, I called my assistant and informed her I'd be running late. With eager anticipation, I navigated to the website where I devoured web novels and clicked on Chapter 3128.
This novel had captivated me like no other. Sure, it followed the clichéd trope of an overpowered protagonist rising from the depths of weakness, but its intricate world-building and character development made it stand out.
However, as I reached the final chapter, disbelief and frustration washed over me. How could the author betray us like this? The protagonist, with all his cheats and harem of forgettable wives, was supposed to triumph. Instead, the villain emerged victorious, shattering the world we'd grown to love.
Fueled by indignation, I unleashed my wrath in a scathing comment directed at the author before begrudgingly heading to work.
Determined to cool my raging thoughts, I opted for a calming bus ride. But fate had other plans. As I made my way to the bus station, the inevitable happened – truck-kun barreled towards me, ending my life in an instant.
And just like that, I found myself reincarnated. But there was a twist. Gone was the prodigious genius of my past life, replaced by the helpless form of a newborn. As I lay in the arms of a stunning woman, feeding on her milk, the irony of my situation wasn't lost on me.
Here I was, Aiden, once hailed as the most intelligent being to grace earth, now reduced to the most embarrassing moment of my existence – being nurtured by another person.
As I rested in the loving embrace of my mother, I gazed around the room with wide eyes, taking in the rich surroundings with a sense of wonder. The chamber exuded an air of opulence and grandeur that feeled both unfamiliar and strangely comforting.
The furnishings were adorned with intricate designs and luxurious fabrics, though I could only feel their softness against my delicate skin as my mother cradled me tenderly. The bed, with its plush bedding and ornate canopy, feeled like a cocoon of warmth and safety amidst the grandeur of the room.
Holographic displays shimmered softly in the air, casting gentle glows that dance across the walls and ceiling. I watched in fascination as the images shift and change, though their meaning eluded me for now.
Though I may not yet understand the significance of my surroundings, I sensed the love and care that surrounded me in this room. With each passing moment, I feeled a growing sense of belonging and security, knowing that I was cherished and protected by my mother's embrace.
I couldn't understand their language but I could still hear my name. Cassius Von Silvercrest and I recognized this name; he was the main antagonist of my favorite novel.
But as soon as I recollected my thoughts, I saw a blue screen before me.
[Hi host, I am your powerful system]
'System? So I did receive a cheat. But isn't there already a system here?'
[Don't even compare me to this world's system! I am the 'Fate looter's system' and with my help, you will become really powerful.]
'What do you get in return?'
[As expected of the most intelligent human to ever exist. Well, when you steal others' opportunities, I get fate points that you can trade for whatever you want. And know that I am not as picky as other systems. I won't ask you for a lot of fate points to get, for example, skills, and I'll also give you 2 times the value of everything that you steal.]
'What if I don't want to?'
[I'll kill you? Isn't it obvious, mister the most intelligent man to ever exist? Know that for every quest, the penalty for failure is death.]
'And me who wanted to live a normal life. But isn't there a beginner gift or something?'
[You know what since I'm generous I'll give you one.]
[Unlocking mana and bloodline maximized to primordial level]
[Do you want to access your status screen?]
[Yes or No?]
I thought about yes and a status screen appeared before me, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

After reading my status window, I kind of felt tired because I am a baby, and reading tires my eyes, so I fell asleep.
