The system? No! This Is Another One!
New Family

There is a village on the east side of the world. The village was separated from the small kingdom.

Within this small kingdom, there was a certain house. It was a normal house, just a little small.

Inside this house, there was a young couple. A red haired man with green eyes, and a purple haired woman with blue eyes. They were both very young, not even in their 20s. But they've become parents.

The mother was breastfeeding her young baby.

The baby has blue hair and eyes unlike his parents. It was a very beautiful baby, which would make any young mother envious.

However, this baby sometimes made a strange face. As if he was deep in his mind. She did not cry when she was born. Instead, he simply glared at the person who pulled him from his mother.

This baby is named Gamiko Dragna. But her parents called her Miko for short.

“Miko seems to be in a good mood recently.”

Said mother.

"Yes. She didn't cry or anything when she was born, and sometimes glared at us. But, she's acting like a normal baby now.”

Said the father.

"I told you he wasn't glaring at you, Leon."

“No, she glared fine. Especially every time I get close to you, Sasha. The watch."

Leon touched his wife's shoulder, and looked at the baby.

"Look! He's glaring at me! Looks like he said, 'Don't touch my property, asshole'!"

Sasha looked at Miko, and saw a smiling baby.

“You just imagined it.”

She don't. The baby, Miko must be glaring at her father.

And Leon wasn't far away when he said 'Don't touch my property,

It's more like, “Don't contaminate my food source with your dirty hands. These breasts are no longer your own!”.

If you haven't noticed, Miko isn't a normal baby. He had the mind of a 20 year old man in his body.

He is Logan Cross.

(I see that you have given up your pride, and lived as a baby.)

A voice echoed within his head. It was a voice he was very familiar with.

'I am currently at the stage where I would die if I wasn't taken care of.'

Miko/Logan answered the voice in his head.

(So you're not talking about the advantages of this situation?)

'Of course I'm a baby. My only concern right now is whether they'll change my diaper before I die from the smell of my own shit. I sleep all day, and if I cry a little, I get***** milk in my mouth, and I don't have to clean myself. Who wouldn't want that?'

(......I see that you have lost your dignity as a human being.)

'I was a baby. I can't even pronounce the word dignity, let alone know its meaning.'

(Mahaha!)

Tiamat laughed uncontrollably inside his head.

'….So, what happened to Tiamat? Forcing me to reincarnate in a new world, and leave me alone for months?'

Miko's voice was filled with scorn.

(I left you alone to calm down for a while. And besides, I didn't leave you alone. I'm watching you from far away.)

"Well, I'm calm now."

(Liar. You're glaring so much that your dad looks like he's gonna pee in his pants.)

'That lustful scoundrel wanted to contaminate my food source. He's lucky I didn't kill him in his sleep.'

(The lustful scoundrel was your father, and the source of the food was your mother. At least show them respect for having made you a parent .) 

'Being a parent doesn't automatically make you respected. I'll respect them when they get it.'

(......At least let the man touch his wife. As a man, you know he has a drive.)

'He has 2 hands, right?'

(Don't come crying to me, when he brought an army of priests to cast out demons from you.)

'continue. Why am I here?'

(…..I told you before, I reincarnated into you to make this world ours'

'And I said, I don't know what you mean!'

When Miko was upset with Tiamat, it was visible on her face.

Seeing that, his mother-

“Look, now he's really upset. He may not like the fact that his father accused him.”

"What?!"

Back to Logan and Tiamat.

(That means just that. I want you to conquer this world as my successor.)

'Why did I do something so exhausting as world domination? And for a selfish Goddess like you?'

(Didn't you say that you would burn the world to the ground if you had to, just to punch me once?)

'Yes and I mean it. However, this world is different from what I imagined.'

(Oh? did you find the answer?)

'Well, if you only look at the appearance of my parents and myself, you know that this is not a normal human trait. Not to mention they used strange powers to do daily work. It might be magic. Therefore, I am not on earth but an alternate world.'

In the few months Miko was still alive, she saw her parents doing things like making fire from their palms, calling out water out of nowhere, creating static between their fingertips; just to name a few.

The only explanation he could give, was that they used magic.

(You're as smart as I expected. That's right, this is a world of magic. Or in your case, a fantasy world!)

'Send me back.'

(Don't?)

'Send me back to my world. I can only sense all the unnecessary trouble I will experience in this world.

(……..And as my Proxy, I want you to conquer this world!)

'Don't ignore me!”

The irritation in Miko's baby's eyes escalates and further frightens her father.

'Pissed. Just explain what you mean by Proxy.'

(Ah, I didn't explain anything right?)

Tiamat sounded like he had just realized his carelessness.

(Proxy, or rather the God Proxy is someone chosen by a Higher Being to represent them.)

'Representing them? In what?'

(War for Supremacy)

'Huh?'

(Let me start over.)

Tiamat stopped for a while and continued.

(Thousands of years ago, war broke out among all the gods, demons, beasts, and heroes. This war was to determine who would stand at the top of the world as the "Highest Being". This resulted in the destruction of the world 27 times. )

'Wait. The world was destroyed 27 times?'

(It's remade all the time, so don't worry.)

Tiamat said something very irresponsible.

(Just as you might expect, we realize that war cannot continue that way.)

'And you only need to destroy the world 27 times. You are quick learners.'

(Silent. I'm different from them.)

'In Babylonian mythology, didn't you go crazy and have to be killed by a hero?'

(………..You have a bad personality you know that?)

'thank you.'

Tiamat sighed and continued.

(Long story short, we all came up with the idea of having people of lower races represent us in the fight for the throne; instead we participated directly.)

'And what is a proxy? So basically, you want me to be your replacement and conquer the world for you.'

(Yup.)

'I don't want to.'

(Why? If you conquer the world, you will get everything you want. Like women, wealth, honor, and fame.)

'You may not realize this from the fact that I gladly suck the breasts of a stranger. I was satisfied I could only sleep all day. I've been living that dream. Now, excuse me while I defend my food source from the ardent invaders.'

Miko returned to glare at her father.

(Haha! You're really less honorable and dignified aren't you? Well, I'm pretty much the same. I just want to conquer the world so I can laze around all day. That's why I chose you who's pretty much my human version of me.)

'I don't know if I've been insulted or praised to be compared to a Goddess like you.'

(Take as you please. But you're gonna be my proxy.)

'Just assume I want to conquer the world for the same reason as you, how do I do it? This world seemed to be filled with things like gods and demons. How could an ordinary human like me conquer such a place?'

(Don't worry about that. I said it before, didn't I? You are like a human version of me. You are not human, even though you are born of human parents. You are closer to higher.)

'So, you mean I have the power of a god inside me?'

(Closed. You still have human power, but you can also be something more.)

'How do?'

(Find out for yourself.)

'…..You have a bad personality, you know that?'

(Thank you.)

The table has changed.

'good. I'll be your Proxy but for my own reasons.'

'To kill every God that exists.'

(……….)

'Just to clarify. I can kill gods with Proxy powers, right?'

(Really. But, the strength of Proxies could only increase with training and combat. You won't be strong from the beginning, you have to work hard to become stronger.

'I don't mind. If I can slaughter a god then I will work as hard as I can.'

(.....You really hate gods.)

'Don't act like you don't know my reasons.'

(Oh, you know?)

'Basic idiots would choose someone to represent them without looking into their past?'

(You have a point. Well, I expect interesting things from you, Miko. If you need anything, just ask, I'll answer if I want.)

'I'll lose, Goddess of Selfishness.'

(Then, Bastard Man.)

With that, Logan Cross, now called Gamiko Dragna, became the Proxy of Goddess Tiamat.

....

....

....

....

A year has passed since Miko was reincarnated as a Tiamat Proxy. At that moment, he gathered a lot of information about this new world.

'First things first, this world and my old world are kind of connected. I learned this by listening to my parents' conversations. There are several occasions where they mention the names of Zeus, Thor, King Arthur and other famous gods and heroes. Apparently, this is a world built on the mythology of the earth.'

Miko thought of this, while sitting on her mother's lap.

He has grown to like her a lot in the past year and grown to respect her.

His father was a different case.

'Another thing is a proxy. It seems that they can only be one Proxy per God. However, the Proxy is destined to wield unimaginable power. Most of the most influential people in the world are Proxies, which is why they are considered the rulers of the world. '

Miko who was relaxing outside with her mother, looked up into the air and saw light particles floating around her.

'My guess is that the distracting lights I see from time to time are [Magic Articles]. I noticed that they tended to gather around my parents when they used magic. The fact that they don't seem to mind, even when it's covering the entire room, definitely means that they can't see it. Otherwise, they would have already mentioned it at least once.'

He was the only one who could see them. That might be the characteristic of being a Proxy.

The reason why Miko had to think about all this herself, was because she had not spoken to Tiamat for the past year.

Instead of her refusing to talk to him, she was just trying to see how far she could walk on her own as a baby.

“Miko, is something wrong? You make a weird face. ”

Sasha's mother looked at Miko anxiously.

"Mama!"

Seeing that, Miko pretended not to know and called him while giggling like a baby.

"You're a really funny kid."

Sasha rubbed her cheek. He did not see a complex expression on his face.

This baby is a scary creature.

'Being a baby is good and everything, but I miss being able to move freely and say complete sentences without being seen as strange.'

thought Miko.

Later that day, Miko signals to her mother that she wants to hold a book.

He thought that he wanted to play with her, and gave her the old one.

Of course, Miko planned it that way.

The book is actually an encyclopedia on magic. Miko wants to use it to learn more about magic.

'It looks like I can instantly understand the language thanks to being a Proxy. It's too comfortable.'

He missed the book and continued reading it.

His father walked in and looked at him in shock, when he saw his one-year-old son looking like he was understanding the contents of a book.

Of course, he shook his head and thought that he was just thinking too much about it.

'According to this, Magic is the process of drawing power from your surroundings. It was composed of mystical particles that could only be seen by a trained eye.'

Magic is the ability to create phenomena out of nothing, as long as mystical particles are present. Magic power is determined by talent and bloodline. This can be overcome with determination and practice, but it has its limits. In the end, talent dominated.

There are 2 ways to use magic: through spells and raw power. Magic has many forms; depending on the form you practice, it can affect your personality. For example, those who practice Demon Magic will start acting like demons.

Two or more magic races cannot be learned unless you have the blood of both races. For example, demons cannot learn God's magic because they are not gods. A half-demon half-God can learn both. Humans are the only race that can learn the magic of other races, but that magic changes their body and soul and makes them no longer human.

The categories of magic include: elemental, raw, ancient, dimensional, illusory, pure, tarnished, heavenly, etc.

After a few hours, Miko closed the book. No need to reread, because he already memorized the important contents.

'The book didn't mention anything about the Proxy, but since my parents had mentioned it before, their whereabouts might already be an open secret.'

Miko unsteadily stood up with her two short legs and started walking past the small house.

Of course, he couldn't walk for too long.

'Now, what should I do? Magic must be learned. Unless you have a particular gene, it doesn't come naturally. But this household would not be able to hire a teacher. After all, they were only 17-year-old farmers.'

It seems like you have been considered an adult since you were 16 years old, so young old people are quite common in this world.

'Should I try to learn from this book? No, it looks like it's old enough. So the magic usage system may have changed since it was published. Did my parents teach me? No, it doesn't seem like they're very good at using magic. They would not be poor if they were poor.

'I'm out of options. Looks like I should call Tiamat.'

While Miko was thinking that, she heard footsteps running towards her.

“Miko, we have great news!”

It was his parents. They looked very excited, especially her father who grinned widely.

The one who spoke was his mother.

“You will be an older brother! I'll have another baby!”

"……….Huh uh?"

....

.....

.....

(Looks like your mood is bad.)

It was almost midnight. Baby Miko was lying next to her mother in their bedroom. He was talking to the goddess Tiamat.

'of course. I just found out that despite my efforts, those idiots went and conceived another child.'

(What, are you upset that your food source is contaminated?)

Tiamat spoke in a mocking tone.

'That's too, but there's another reason. They were unable to raise another child so quickly. My idiot father barely made enough money to support the family he is today. Other children are impossible.'

(…..That makes a lot of sense.)

'I may be an asshole, but I'm a logical person. I wouldn't deny anyone anything if it didn't affect me negatively. But those idiots were too young to realize what I was doing, now we're going hungry.'

(I don't think it's that drastic.).

It was true that his parents were poor, but that did not mean that they would die of hunger. Miko also knew that, but she still revealed it like that just because.

'Forget my stupid father's mistakes. I'll sterilize it later. There's something I want to confirm with you.'

(What is that?)

'Is magic the only form of power in this world? Can't I learn something else to upgrade my weaponry?'

(As you might have guessed, there are other ways to fight without using magic. However, you have to find the method yourself.)

'As I thought.'

Miko has a hunch that magic is just one of the mediums to fight in this world. He imagined that humans, who were bad at magic would definitely develop a way to survive. Since that was the type of human, they adapted to any situation to ensure their survival.

'Other questions.'

(What is that?)

'I discovered that this world is a world where mythical creatures and legendary heroes exist. But I wonder, how many mythologies and legendary heroes are there here?'

(Everything.)

'What?'

(Everything. Every god, every hero, every legendary beast was present in this world. Greek Mythology, Nordic Mythology, Japanese Mythology, Egyptian Mythology, Chinese Mythology, Celtic Mythology, Buddhism, etc. As long as they are associated with some form of myth known throughout the world, they exist within this world. This includes legendary historical figures whose names are recorded in history due to his greatness as well.)

'....I know I'd regret asking this, but for an example?'

(Arthur Pendragon, Alexander The Great, Gilgamesh, Hercules, Perseus, just to name a few.)

'Wow! I know everything! You want me to fight all those famous conquerors?!'

Miko started to panic. It was not that he did not believe he could win, it was just that he had to put in a lot of effort to do so.

(Quiet. You're not fighting them. You fight their Proxy.)

'Do you know how many gods and heroes there are? Do you expect me to defeat them all?'

(You don't have to beat them. You just have to make them recognize you as their boss, and conquer them.)

'And how do I do it?'

(You have to beat all the big shots of course. But, you can also conquer their hearts.)

'Don't tell me, this is the setting where I have to go around seducing people, because I don't have time for it.'

(They don't have to fall in love with you, they just have to admire you. The quickest way to do that is to be someone worth following.)

'Sounds annoying. I'd rather be alone, you know.'

(....Well, if that's all you want to know, goodbye for now.)

With that, Tiamat's voice disappeared from Miko's head.

But his head started to hurt.

'Potential financial crisis at home, and now I know that I might be fighting against some legendary figures ....... I really should have been reborn as a panda.'
