He did not immediately notice that he had transmigrated. Although the ceiling he saw was a ceiling that he doesn’t recognize, the ‘status’ he sees in the corner of his eyes looks the same as usual, giving him a false sense of security.
Feeling sleepy, he decided to go back to sleep. To avoid the light, he tried to turn to his side, but for some reason, he was unable to move. More like, he couldn’t move his limbs at all.
“Ah-”
Furthermore, his voice is not coming out correctly. What is going on? Why can’t he move? The only thing that he can move is his eyes. He tested it out by running it left and right.
Then he noticed.

His level seems to have reverted to 1, and his name somehow disappeared. Furthermore, what is this ‘∞’? He knows that is the level limit and not to exaggerate, he observes his status almost daily, and the ‘8’ was not there before.
Strange, something is not right. Just what is happening?
“!”
Suddenly from the top, a face showed up — a beautiful woman that he has never seen before appeared. She watches him with gentle eyes. One would say a gazed full of affection and endearment.
…mother?
For some reason, that’s what had appeared in his mind. However, his mom is someone with a full waist, and every time he sees her, he can only think of her as an old hag and with much annoyance. To relate that to someone beautiful like this would be rude. (TL: What an ill-mannered MC)
As time passes, her eyes get sweeter and softer as she looks at him while petting his head gently.
This person is probably his mother. He doesn’t know why, but that’s how he feels. Her gentle manner and soft hands make him feel incredibly peaceful and relaxed. A sensation that he never once felt before makes him want to forget everything and fall asleep like this.
He suddenly heard a rattle, and sounds of footsteps.
“Your Majesty!” The beautiful woman turned toward the door in surprise and called that out; however, he was more startled by what she had said.
Your Majesty?
“No need, stay there.” A dignified voice stated, coming closer. A man with white hair and a face that looks over sixty years old took the woman’s place and looked down. “Indeed, he has a nice face. At a glance, anyone can tell it’s your child. I can see the resemblance of you in his eyes.”
“Thank you for your grace; however, to me, his mouth looks just like Your Majesty’s.”
“I see. Indeed. Since you say that, then it must be so.”
What? The face, and being similar…are they saying that he is this old man and this young woman’s son? He moves his body a bit, turns his head, and with much effort, he looks towards the side. He saw what looked to be a plump arm and a baby’s hand.
This is…his arm? He has been turned into a baby…how?
“You’re Majesty, about this child’s name…”
“Yes, I have already thought about it. This child will be known as Noah.”
“My, what a wonderful name!”
Right after his declaration, at the corner of his view, the status changed.

The name section that was empty has been updated to Noah Ararat. This is his new name. Then that means he truly was a newborn and that a few moments ago, he really didn’t have a name. That’s why in his status his name section was empty.
“You’re Majesty.” A calm voice said, coming from behind the old man. “About Noah sama’s title…”
“What an impertinent question. This child has my imperial blood, isn’t it obvious.”
“Thank you very much!” the woman quivered, touched by the words of the old man. It seems like…there might be a complicated circumstance at hand, Noah thought, but first thing first!
There has been another change in his status again. The space under his name has been replaced by the title “The Ararat Empire’s 13th Prince”. Just a minute ago, or up to the point when he woke up, it had said “The Villager’s Youth”. What an astounding change.
However, what an unbelievable title. Imperial prince, the son of Emperor, a royal aristocrat among the nobles…and that is him?
(Notes: originally said, nobles among nobles, but it doesn’t fit since he is royal blood. Nobles are considered to be someone who worked for the royal family. Nobles are like government officials, a rank below aristocrat. That’s what I think after googling.)
“Cruise”
“Yes”
“What is Noah’s aptitude?”
“Right when his highness was born, it has been found he has an aptitude of Rank E Water.
“Water, you say. Any candidate?
“I believe that the water tribe from Armeria would be a good choice. They would make a good guardian for his highness, Noah.
(TL Notes: Armeria maritima, commonly known as thrift, sea thrift or sea pink often found on coastlines)
“Well then, Noah’s fief will be there. Prepared it without delay.”
“Understood” (TL Note: 御意 (gyoi). The actual meaning of this in Kanji is similar to ‘your will is my command’ but it’s a bit long when the actual word was only 2 syllable. )
Although the situation is as unusual as it is, Noah will not be surprised anymore.

The ‘E’ next to the water attribute has been changed to ‘E + S’. What does this ‘+’ mean? Did this exist before? No, it is his first time seeing this.
Noah loves to watch plays. Especially, when the story is model after a Hero’s achievement. Watching the Hero and looking at their actual status is the best. However, all of the Heroes he has watched had never shown such status.
Why? How? Whilst Noah internally panicked, the conversation on the side continues.
A complete for the first stage? Show me this child’s ability.
“Understood” A young man answered as he reaches his hand towards Noah’s head. His hand emits a glowing light that wrapped around him. Then, above his head, a status screen appeared. It is a magic that allowed others to see your status.
The moment the status cleared up everyone in the room including the old man, the woman, the young man, and Noah held their breath.

“Ohhh! So this is my child.”
“No way…this is more amazing than when he was born…”
“Does this mean that Noah – sama had completely awakened, at this young age?
Everyone seems to be surprised by the ‘strength’ of the rank ‘SS’, however, Noah was different. He was astonished to not see the ‘+’. In other words, only he can see the ‘E + S’ in his status. If another was to look at his status through magic they would only see ‘SS’.
The truth that only Noah can see. While the adults around him are surprised and excited, only he pondered about the ‘+’.
