Chapter 1 : I Became a Baby in the World of Murim
Chapter 1 - I Became a Baby in the World of Murim
I see a plump and pale hand that looks like a fern frond.
"Eue-bbeu-ya-ah (Please at least play Hatchuping for me)......."
A voice that makes me feel good just hearing it rings in my ears.
If this weren't my own body, I might have adored it with all my might. However, should I say that possessing a child—which was a comedy when seen from afar—is a tragedy when seen up close?
Е̌ n̊um̌а̌
"Eb-bbeu-ee-ee (It's boring as hell)."
A child's day is long. Even though I spend most of the day sleeping, it is still long. There is a reason why people say the difficulty of childcare is 'Hell' without YouTube.

Even inexperienced parents have the thought that YouTube might not be good for their child.
However, within a young child's sense of time, boredom is a severely terrible pain.
If they aren't exposed to video media for even a moment during this long day, every baby has no choice but to become a gangster.......
"Young Master, it is time for lunch!”

It has now been a week since the possession. Even though I am a layperson who has only ever heard Chinese in Shorts my whole life, I can roughly guess this much by reading the room.
That voice belongs to the woman who sticks right by my side during the day; judging by the circumstances, she appears to be a maid of this house, and that familiar word likely means she will give me something to eat.
“Beu-ep…….”
I squeezed my eyes shut and opened my mouth. It is because my conscience hurts too much as a healthy adult male who has entered a child's body.

Presumably, that woman who must be my wet nurse was sincere about her duties as a wet nurse (literally). I kept my eyes closed and diverted my mind as much as possible from the sensation of skin touching my lips.
‘For now, this place must be China.’
Еn̈ūm̄ а
I haven't seen the Five-Star Red Flag, nor am I fluent enough in Chinese to distinguish regional dialects just by hearing the tones, so I can't be certain, but.
Still, if I'm surrounded by Chinese speakers and everyone is extremely kind to me, there is only one conclusion.
‘At the very least, I count as being born with a gold spoon.’
The room I usually lie in was bigger than my studio apartment. It was even decorated with furniture that was too good to be considered given to just a single newborn baby.
Just the pottery and folding screens visible right now looked more expensive than my jeonse* deposit at the very least. They even wrapped a newborn baby who shits every single day in fine silk lest his skin gets damaged.
[N: ‘Jeonse’ is a unique South Korean rental system where a tenant pays a large, one-time security deposit to a landlord instead of monthly rent. This deposit is typically 50–80% of the property's value and is fully returned at the end of the lease.]

One week since I opened my eyes. Even though my clothes were changed more than three times a day, I have never worn the same outfit even once.
It is a tremendous wealthy family. The start is good.
‘Medieval times…… right?’
I smacked my lips as I felt the skin separating from my mouth. Sweet liquid pooled at the corners of my mouth and trickled down.
A soft hand motion tap-tap, wiped the corners of my mouth. I thought as I looked at the wet nurse wiping my mouth.
‘I have never seen an electronic device even once. There isn't a single air conditioner or heater in the room to say they were considering the child's environment.’

At first, I wondered if I had possessed a child actor on a drama set. It was dismissed on the point that no matter how it is in China, there wouldn't be a cruel drama that films a newborn baby for 24 hours (though if it's China, it might be possible).
If so, it is at least not modern civilization. Although I don't have confirmation that this is Earth, let's not start with assumptions where deduction is impossible.

Excluding the modern era, the Chinese tended not to expand much outside the mainland. Since they already possessed a sufficiently vast landmass, they were busy enough guarding it, and fundamentally, those guys considered foreign countries = barbarians. They are a people whose will to expand itself isn't large. They would rather receive tributes.
In other words, based on medieval standards, for a Chinese speaker to enjoy such immense power, one can deduce that they must be in mainland China.
“Young Master, did you eat well? It is time to sleep now, so go to sleep soundly.”
The wet nurse held me in her arms and began to pat my back pat-pat.
Èn̈ǔ m а́
My mind slowly relaxes at the warm and soft touch. Thoughts melt and scatter like chocolate.
“Eu-ba-e-eu (Wait a minute)!!”
Wait, wait a moment. Don't pat me like that.
My eyelids are too heavy. My brain, which is only the size of a newborn baby's palm, was refusing any further higher-level thinking.

The solemn survival instinct that dictates one must sleep when full and warm began to heavily weigh down my whole body.
"Young Master, rock-a-bye, sleep soundly."
W̌е̌b̈.ṅ о̊v е̊ l Еn̊ ǔḿ а
A quiet voice seeped into my ears.
The strength in my small fingers, which were tightly gripping the wet nurse's sleeve, is gradually relaxing.
‘Wait…… a minute. Let's organize this one last time…….’
If it's a possession in a medieval Chinese setting…… assuming it's either alternative history or martial arts……
If it's alternative history, I need to figure out the dynasty……
"Be-eh-eh (It's waaaarm)……."

It's waaaarm…….
……
By genre, there are things one must absolutely do when possessing someone.
Just as you must invest in crypto if you possessed someone in the early 21st century, you must go all in on Google stock if you opened your eyes in the late 20th century, and you must be kind to the servants first if you became a ruffian.
If you possessed a newborn baby's body, you must hear people call you a genius!
"Mam-meu—!"
W̊ е̂b́ ṅо v̂ĕl E ňum̃ а̃
It doesn't matter that I don't know Chinese at all. Doesn't everyone start without mastering language from birth anyway?
That means I am starting on the same line as all newborn babies. Just as I am learning Chinese for the first time, all babies of this body's age are also unfamiliar with Chinese. Furthermore, since I am actually an adult, my conditions are much better.

So it is beneficial to build up the tech tree starting from learning the language as quickly as possible to ‘My child seems to be a genius!’.
Because this place is the era of uncivilized and barbaric times, medieval China.
If I am not the eldest son, I definitely have to start a succession competition with my siblings. It is a process one must naturally go through if one is a child of a powerful family.
Although I haven't seen any siblings yet, nothing changes. Medieval China is a competitive society just as severe as medieval Europe. If I have such a young and beautiful mother, who knows when a competitor named ‘younger sibling’ might appear.
Еnùm̂ а́
In such a situation, appearing as a genius in childhood statistically holds as much destructive power to parents as a ‘reformed ruffian’.
"Mam-meu—!"
"Mama? Did you just call me Mama?"
I babbled repeatedly to the woman who, judging by the circumstances, appears to be my mother.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
She is a woman who wears overwhelmingly fancier clothes than everyone here and rambles on about this and that while sticking by my side for several hours every day. She was even a person who appeared leading numerous servants whenever she came and went, receiving a 90-degree bow from my wet nurse.
Looking at those warm eyes overflowing with motherly love, she must be this body's mother. And in China, they call mom and dad ‘Mama’ and ‘Baba’. I am glad I know at least this much.
Е n̄ ù ṁ ӓ
"My child seems to be a genius!"
"Mam-meu—! E-beu-he (It's damn hard)……."
I lamented while beaming. Just as I had hoped, the woman held me and rocked me gently, rejoicing. I gave a courtesy giggle and acted cute.
However, at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
‘Why aren't my ears opening up?’
It is an environment where extremely favorable native speakers, who stay right by my side 24 hours a day attending to my every need, speak to me slowly and clearly in easy language matched to a child's level.

On top of that, the listener possessed the intelligence of an adult and, at the same time, the soft and pliable brain of a young child.
Yet, whenever I actually try to use my brain even a little, drowsiness rushes in, and I only infer the situation from words I roughly hear; I don't feel like my ears are opening up.
Don't tell me, I....... No, this body. This physique.......
‘Is the head...... stupid?’
I was lost in thought, blankly facing the shocking truth.
If the woman before my eyes is the biological mother of this body, the looks are practically guaranteed. Although I haven't seen the father's side, if half the bloodline is such a beauty, I won't grow up to have an ugly face.
E n̄ û m ă .і d
If the family is good and the face is good, let's say I've at least secured something near the first-place prize. But if the intelligence is low, how can I survive in this rugged and barbaric society of medieval China?
‘However, it's not like my memories have completely disappeared.’

The only consolation is that the memories of my past life remain almost intact.
Unlike modern China which used Simplified Chinese starting from the late 20th century, the Hanja of medieval standards took a form that was quite familiar to those from the sphere of Chinese characters. Reading, and even writing, was possible in a stumbling manner if they were simple Hanja between levels 7 to 9.
Hanja is an ideogram where existing characters do not change with the times as much as new characters are created. Although the reading difficulty changes drastically depending on the calligraphy style, the forms of basic words used in daily life have remained identical since the Oracle Bone Script.
Let's not be impatient. It has only been ten days.
Ѐ ǹ ũm̀ ӑ
In a situation where favorable native speakers are constantly providing language learning at my eye level, the environment is better than most study abroad programs, so wouldn't three months be enough at most for my ears to open up?
"Ehehe-eh— Mam-meu!!"
I laughed brightly at the woman while giggling, and everyone in the room screamed in delight at that moment.
I felt like I had become a superstar.

……
However, it took six months until I could understand the wet nurse's words even roughly.
Ӗ n̆ ů ḿа́.іď
At that point, I met my biological father for the first time.
"Baba, give it a try, Baba!"
"Eu-kya-ah—!!"
A mountain bandit with big glaring eyes and a muscular bulky frame began to shout as he ruthlessly ravaged my cheeks with his black beard.
“Baba—!!”
A young child's tear ducts were tricky to control even with an adult's reason and intellect. I shed a few tears at the terrible pain and made the sound this fellow wanted.

“Hahaha, although he is my son, it is truly surprising!”
“Baba, Baba—!! Eu-gek!!”
This mister burst into laughter and shouted without considering the baby's fragile eardrums at all.
Beyond the wide-open door in the garden, men armed with weapons were standing in a swarm waiting.
I was lifted high in my biological father's hands, riding a roller coaster, and thought.
‘If it's alternative history, he's a military officer; if it's martial arts, it's a prestigious family.’
E ń u m a
If it's alternative history, at least a general-level military officer. A high-ranking position high enough to bring private soldiers to his residence.
If it's martial arts, a prestigious family. A prestigious family capable of organizing private soldiers and giving up such a large plot of land within the manor for a single child…… and a direct lineage of the family head at that. If things go well, a local powerful clan or a Great Clan.

This is, the first-place prize.
“Baba!”
I acted cute to my father with all my sincerity and burst into laughter.
It was the completion of a world where everyone is happy.

In fact, right until the first birthday party, my feelings were steadily trending upward from winning the lottery first place to winning the Superball.
