‘Ciel Klaude, His ambition of becoming a highly knight motivated him to become stronger. He was the main character of “this” story, suddenly I woke up possessing his body..as a child.’

I was an orphan, I’m 26 in the real world, and I’m broke. I work as a chef in a restaurant, I was tired of life. One thing kept me going, It’s that novel i’m addicted to.

-Notification popping up-

??- ..Oh The novel just ended?

??- That sucks..

The novel I was reading for 3 years come to an end, I don’t know what to feel. Am I happy it ended? or Felt empty inside?? Like every story, it ended with the female lead marrying the male lead, And the antagonist dying.

...

Boss- WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?? YOU DIDN’T CHECK IF THE MEAT WAS RAW IN THE INSIDE??!

???- I’m sorry boss, I..

Boss- AND THAT DISH WAS GIVEN TO A FOOD CRITIC!?

???- Boss..I’m sorry..

Boss- SHUT UP! YOU’RE FIRED!!

That’s nice, I got fired the same day the novel just ended. It’s a sign to die already. I went to a convenience store, I bought some alcohol. I drank like crazy. Everything was going downhill for me. I wanted to get some fresh air outside, though next thing I knew I was near a bridge. Underneath is a river.

“I wanna jump, I wanna jump, I wanna jump!” It’s all over my brain, I swear it was the alcohol.

The urge to jump..I really do wanna do it

-Splashing noises-

I was in the water, It felt cold, It felt lonelier not like I never experienced loneliness.

It felt cool..

If you ask me why that novel was so important to my life, I honestly don’t know. Was it because I love the characters? Was it because I relate to the Main character? I just don’t know.

Funny because I was only thinking about the novel even though I was drowning.

“KIM SOO RIM!!”

In my last moments on earth I heard my name, I have no Idea who’s calling me. My name is Kim soo rim...

...

When I woke up, I became a child, no I became a baby. I thought to myself that I was hallucinating, sadly I’m not. I didn’t just become a random baby, Im not even from this world. I became the main character of the novel that just ended.

Yes, a 26 year old man in a baby’s body.

Author’s note : Hello readers, I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! Please comment down your opinions about this, i’ll accept harsh criticism aswell so feel free to share it :D

Summary :

I’m an orphan, I work as a chef, I was so fed up of my life I committed the unthinkable. When I woke up I didnt die, I opened my eyes and I became the Male lead of a novel I read.

Ciel Klaude - MC In the novel

Kim soo rim- Our MC

The main character’s name is Ciel Klaude, He was an orphan like me, He worked hard like me, He lost someone important to him, like me. We both went into hardships though we both ended up with different endings.

It’s unfair

-Baby Crying noises-

Being a child again is nice, I can cry normally without receiving such weird and strange looks.

A child from a homeless family, that’s the family Ciel was born to. No choice but to abandon the baby until it was 3. They were struggling to feed another mouth, Of course it’s possible.

Now I became Ciel, I have to deal with it now.

[3 years time skip]

‘mom’- Money for the poor please

‘dad’- Ugh, this child. If only this brat didn’t exist we would have more food for ourselves.

‘mom’- What do you wanna do then? Abandon it?

‘dad’- Exactly! I’m so fed up with it!

‘dad’- Useless child..

They think I can’t understand a thing since I’m only 3 years old. I’m also fed up with it, Why decide on having a child if you can’t take care of it properly. I’m sorry Ciel for wishing you were never born, I can’t deal with it anymore.

...

‘mom’- Hey Ciel, I believe you’re old enough to do this, go beg for money in that street.

‘dad’-Go beg for money, you mute brat.

I never once spoke infront of them. It’s irrelevant, they won’t even listen to anything I say.

I need to do what they say for the moment. Then go to the place where Ciel’s Master met Ciel.

After Ciel was lost, Ciel’s master took him in. He was a knight in the past do he taught swordmanship to Ciel. I believe his name is Harold Klaude. The person who gave Ciel a last name.

He was killed by an assassin and Ciel was finding the killer while the female lead was helping him. The main reason why the story started.

...

-Foot steps noises-

Harold- Hey there kid!

Ciel- H-Hi..

It’s been a while since I used my voice like this..

Harold- Are you lost?? Where are your parents?

Ciel- They abandoned me sir.

Harold- How old are you??

Ciel- I’m three years old s-sir.

Harold- Oh my little one! How can they abandon a three year old child..

Ciel- They didn’t want me..

Harold- *sighs*

...

-They went to Harold’s place-

Harold- My name is Harold Klaude, What’s yours?

Ciel- It’s Ciel, sir.

Harold- Right now this is my place, I’m letting you in because I pity you..Do you want me to find your parents?

Ciel- I’d rather label myself as an orphan and consider my parents dead..

Harold- then..I’ll just shut up and let you stay here.

Ciel- Thank you sir..

Harold-Tell me, do you have any dreams that you wanna achieve??

Ciel- Chef

Harold- Why dont you become a knight instead? Being a knight is awesome. You get to fight evil people! Isn’t that so cool??

Ciel- No

Harold- I see, You have plenty of time to think about your future.

Ciel- okay.

...

Ciel Klaude - MC In the novel

Kim soo rim - Our MC

Harold Klaude - MC’s master

“HAROLD!! RUN!!”

“DAD!?”

“SHUT UP AND RUN HAROLD!!”

-

Ciel’s master is having a rough time, huh? It looks like he’s having a nightmare, a terrifying one.

-Harold waking up-

Ciel- That must’ve sucked, experiencing a nightmare to the point you’re shaking.

Harold- Ahh

Ciel- What did you dream about?

Harold- It’s nothing

Nothing my ***..You’re shaking that much yet you’re gonna say “nothing”?

Ciel- Whatever..

Harold- Hey Ciel, What about you become a knight?

Ciel- I told you I dont want to..

Harold- Why not? All the boys likes this kind of stuff?

Ciel- I’m not like other boys then..

Harold- Besides how far can a cook go?

Ciel- ...

Ciel- augh, Whatever..

I dont get it..I dont get it at all, Why is he persuading me to become a knight?

“Whatever choice you make, I’ll support you without hesitation Ciel” was a line Harold told Ciel. Was it a lie?

-

Harold Klaude taught swordsmanship to Ciel, He was so happy he wanted to be a knight. Why isn’t he happy I wanted to be a chef. Did some things change?

Hours pass by then,

[His vocabulary is wide for his age, I’d start to think I was talking to an adult. If he’s that smart then he can...] -Harold thought

Harold- Hey Ciel, Can you read?

Ciel- I can..Why?

Harold- Who taught you?

Ciel- Dad taught me.

Harold- I see, you must’ve been a fast learner?

Ciel- Yeah, Dad also told me that..

What a lie I told.. Why does he keep asking me all of this? It’s Tiring..

Harold- Can you cook?

Ciel- I’m 3

Harold- How are you gonna become a cook then?

Ciel- ...

Ciel- I’ll figure it out

Harold- Why do you even consider on becoming a cook?

Ciel- I like food..

Harold gave me a disappointing look

-

Why do you want to become a chef?’ I don’t know..I wanna make people happy with my cooking skills. Am I considered being good at it? No.. I’m good at nothing anyways. So Why are you trying so hard?

It’s the only skill I have to trade for an income, and it reminds me of her..

-

Harold sighs

Harold- If you ought to be useful, then atleast help me.

Ciel- With what?

Harold- Hunting..

(Harold is a retired knight, and became a hunter)

Ciel- ...

Harold- You’re living under my roof, atleast help me with something.

This is bad, I’m not athletic at all...

-

We’re currently walking in a forest, while carrying guns. It’s good that ciel has a better body than me. If it were my 3 year old body, i’d pass out.

Harold- Are you already tired?

Ciel- Yes

Harold- I’m gonna teach you how to hunt..

I just nodded

Then hours pass by, he was still teaching me. I was struggling and struggling and struggling..

‘Why cant you get this right?!’

‘This is simple! hold the gun correctly!!’

‘Fuck, you’re hopeless!’

Some of the words he told me while teaching me, I felt like he wasn’t Harold at all. Harold from the novel..

Harold- Lets take a break.

Ciel- ...

Harold- You’re that tired?

Ciel- ...Yeah

Harold- Wait for me here, I’m gonna go get some good tree branches.

Ciel- For what?

Harold- To start a fire, i’m gonna go cook those animals you’ve killed so far.

Ciel- O-ok..

-

Hours pass by, yet no trace of him whatsoever.. He couldn’t possibly leave Ciel alone nor leave him like this..

No, that was novel Harold!

Though, I couldn’t stop myself from being sleepy, I could barely open my eyes for 5 seconds.

So then, I blacked out..
