Chapter 3

When I realized it, I was lying down.

My body felt heavy.

It was dark around me, and I couldn’t see anything.

I could feel something soft enveloping my body.

I tried to move my hand.

──It moved.

But for some reason, the range of movement was limited.

I tried to move my body again, but it wouldn’t move as I wanted. Since I couldn’t move much, I decided to think.

I am Haruto Nishijo. I was seventeen years old. I remember my life before.

I also remember the evil god. In the end, I couldn’t even find out why that guy reincarnated me. Am I really reincarnated?

Furthermore, it seems I was cursed...

There’s no way to confirm it.

Why did he curse me?

Does it have any meaning?

If my stats are fixed, I can’t level up and dominate. At level 1, I might lose to even a random commoner.

But I have the knowledge from my original world, so I should have an advantage over ordinary people in this world with what’s called a knowledge cheat.

...Right?

In web novels, there are protagonists who, despite having weak skills, made a fortune by making mayonnaise with a knowledge cheat and built a harem.

I’m sure I can do the same!

First, I want to check my situation. My body is hard to move, but it does move. I tried to stretch my hand out as far as I could.

“Ahn”

──!?

I touched something very soft. At the same time, a seductive female voice came from above my head.

What? W-What is this!?

The thing that was enveloping me started to move, and suddenly it got bright around me. Because I had been in the dark, it was too bright to see in front of me.

The thing that was pressing on my upper body seemed to be gone. When I held my hand up to the light in front of me, I could vaguely see someone in front of me.

“I’m sorry, Master Haruto. Were you uncomfortable?”

A beautiful woman with short black hair looked at my face with concern. Her large, full breasts were pushed out in front of me, which was very erotic, despite the youthful look on her face.

She is Tina.

My personal maid.

Tina is a half-elf, and her pointed ears were slightly visible from her short hair.

I knew her as if I had known her for years.

──No, I know her.

After all, she has been taking care of me since I was born in this world five years ago.

My memories came back.

It might be strange to say they came back, but I have memories of living in this world.

I was probably just reincarnated into the body of this five-year-old child named Haruto a moment ago.

My life as Haruto Nishijo in another world and my conversation with the evil god in the divine realm feel like a dream.

It felt like a dream, but I still remembered the knowledge from my original world.

Hart von Silberley

That’s my current name.

Silberley is the name of the earl’s family in the kingdom where I live, Glen Dale. I am the third son of that earl’s family. I turned five two days ago.

Tina is my caretaker. She sleeps with me every day to keep me from feeling lonely. It seems that by stretching my hand out, I pushed her chest and woke her up.

“...Sorry, I think I had a bad dream.”

“I see... Then, will this make you feel better?”

Tina hugged me from the front.

I was enveloped in a gentle scent.

And something soft...

“I’m always by your side, Master Haruto.”

“U-Um, yeah.”

It was very soothing.

Comforted by Tina, I, in the body of a five-year-old, quickly fell asleep.

──＊＊＊──

The next morning, after finishing the breakfast Tina had prepared, I was in the courtyard of the mansion. Tina was clearing the breakfast table.

First, I wanted to check the curse the evil god had mentioned.

“Status Open”

When I chanted and thrust my hand forward, a translucent board floated up. In this world, anyone can check their status with a status board.

I knew how to bring up my status board from the memories Tina had taught me. Let’s see the contents of the status board.

Status

Name: Hart von Silberley

Race: Human

Blessing: None [Fixed]

Occupation: Sage (Level 1) [Fixed]

HP: 30/30 [Fixed]

MP: 10/10 [Fixed]

Physical Attack: 10 [Fixed]

Magic Attack: 10 [Fixed]

Defense: 10 [Fixed]

Speed: 10 [Fixed]

Dexterity: 10 [Fixed]

Skills: None [Fixed]

Condition: Curse (Status Fixed) [Fixed]

──It was like this.

“...For real?”

Indeed, I was cursed.

The curse is “Status Fixed,” and the curse itself is also [Fixed].

My race is not fixed, so I can become something other than a human.

No, what would I become if I quit being human!?

Can you even change your race in the first place?

My blessing is also “None” and fixed, so it seems difficult to receive a blessing from any other god besides the evil god.

Not only my level, but also my HP, MP, attack power, and defense are all fixed.

It was hopeless to become strong in this world.

I felt a surge of murderous intent towards the evil god who reincarnated me without explaining the reason and cursed me like this.

By the way, there was another reason to feel hopeless.

It seems that mayonnaise exists in this world.

Mayonnaise was used in the salad Tina made for breakfast. It turns out that many things and knowledge from another world – the world I originally came from – have been brought to this world.

About a hundred years before I was born, there was a demon king who plunged the world into terror. He was defeated by five heroes from another world.

One of them brought mayonnaise to this world. And he created various things that didn’t exist in this world with his mysterious abilities, enriching the lives of the people here.

When I learned this fact, my plan to make a fortune with a knowledge cheat collapsed with a loud crash.
