I Was Reincarnated as a Baby God - Chapter 1

Episode 1

It was a night with a bright full moon.

Ianel, who was following the servant ahead of her, shivered.

It seemed that the palace was filled even more than normal with chills tonight.

It was the first time she had ever walked out of her bedroom so late in the night.

Originally, it was already past time for her to be in bed.

The attendant who came suddenly did not tell her why His Majesty was urgently looking for her.

“What’s wrong with your father calling you at such a late hour?”

She was Ianel de Roahim, Princess of the Roahim Empire.

Ianel was a daughter of the emperor’s love, though she was low in line to succeed to the throne.

It was because she looked very similar. (TL note: I believe it is in ref to her mother.)

-Ianel If you were only born as a man…

It was something her father had often said as a habit.

As the emperor cared so much about Ianel and kept her by his side, rumors circulated that he did not like the crown prince.

However, Ianel did not have any greed for the throne.

Anyway, the throne belongs to her brother Agris.

Although she did not often see his face after the recent visit to see the Crown Prince, Agris has always been a loving brother to Ianel.

In the hall of the Emperor’s palace, which was as quiet as a mouse, only the footsteps of the two people rang out.

After walking for a while, Ianel realized something was strange.

None of the other servants or knights were seen.

Anxiety crept into a corner of her mind.

Ianel asked the attendant who acted as her guide.

“By any chance… did something happen?”

However, even the servant looked at her as if he had no knowledge of English to understand the question.

“I only received the order to bring the Princess with my support.”

Before she knew it, the two reached a corridor that opened under the auspices splendor of the emperor’s palace.

The full moon brightly lit up the beautiful circle behind the arch window.

She slightly frowned and opened her eyes in the brightened field of view.

She saw two people standing on a vast patronage that was stained with moonlight.

The people who were casting long shadows were familiar.

They were the Emperor and the Crown Prince.

Ianel stepped forward for patronage.

It was a moment when she went to both of them with a pleasant face.

A calm night breeze blew and ran over Ianel’s neck.

The wind was smeared with an unknown, fishy scent.

She felt that something strange, so she had a moment of hesitation.

The Emperor’s body collapsed to the ground.

“Father!!”

Suddenly running forward, Ianel covered her open mouth with her hand.

The surrounding grass was dyed a stark red.

Only then did an intense bloody scent penetrate her nose.

The Emperor’s pupils, which were wide open, were hollow and lifeless.

A blood-soaked cloak, a Gordon dagger that digs deep into his chest… (TL note: I’m not sure if it’s a type of named dagger or I mistranslated this.)

And the man who has been quietly guarding his side.

Her trembling gaze turned to the man.

“Brother…….?”

Unlike Ianel’s pupils that were shaking dizzily, the Prince’s eyes were only calm.

He asked in a calm voice.

“Ianel. Why are you here?”

Her head turned devoid of thoughts as if paralyzed.

She couldn’t think of anything.

Everything seemed like a lie.

A cold voice came from overhead.

“Well……that’s good.”

There was a crackling sound coming from her.

The young man, looking down at Ianel, was cold.

“If you are together, our father will not be lonely.”

Something cold penetrated into her chest.

The hot lump came up with a tearing sensation.

It was her own blood.

The black blade that pierced her breast was shining in the moonlight.

The world slowly sank away.

The body that lost its strength fell to the floor.

Lost. It was lying next to the body of her father.

“Br……other……”

Every time she managed to spit out a syllable, the blood trickled out.

Her trembling hands scratched the dirt floor.

Just before her fingertips touched the Prince’s shoes, he removed his feet.

A fishy voice descended. (TL note: I’m not quite sure on this bit but keeps coming out with the fishy/metallic adjective)

“Dirty.”

Her vision turned black.

* * *

How lost she must have been.

she could hear a faint song.

The soft song continued affectionately, but disappeared when Ianel woke up.

Ianel, who opened her eyes, looked around.

It was a dark world all over.

She was so cramped that she tried to stretch out her arms and legs, but she couldn’t move as if she was stuck in something.

It was then when she struggled to get away from it.

There was a sound like a cracking ice.

There was a crack in the black wall over her vision.

Lights that resembled a flame poured in through the crack.

A loud noise came from beyond the wall, but she couldn’t understand it.

Ianel struggled even harder.

The cracks grew larger and split into numerous stems.

Darkness broke down with glistening light.

It brightened up everywhere in an instant.

It was a moment when she was frowning and barely adjusting to her brightened vision.

Ianel realized something strange.

It was so colorful and strange as if her senses were upside down.

She heard a voice above her head.

“At last you’re awake.”

Ianel, who raised her head, shuddered.

A strange man and woman were looking down at her.

She saw a gorgeous silver-haired man and a cool beauty with a calm atmosphere.

When she tried to get up in surprise, something white passed in front of her eyes.

Ianel instinctively caught it.

The fluffy white cotton ball looked like a soft, elongated tail.

‘Uh……?’

Her hand that grasped the tail tightly caused pain.

Wrapped in soft white fur, it’s like a small kitten’s paw…

“Rano, get away. You’re scary.”

“Hmm…… Is it because we are in human form?”

The silver-haired man said, tilting his head to the side and said.

“Then you can show her your true form.”

A dazzling array of glittering silver lights appeared around him, as if a scattering of stars.

The glittering stars disappeared after a while.

The appearance of the man from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, there stood a huge silver fox.

Ianel screamed.

“Kiang!!!”

However, what popped out of her mouth was not a human scream, but the cry of a baby animal.

Ianel opened her eyes wide and stared at the silver fox.

It must have been.

The fox, who raised his head gracefully, is a god from the myth of the Roahim Empire.

It was a silver fox.

Ianel belatedly looked towards her body.

Then she looked alternately between the tiny front paws and the abundant tail that glistened like moonlight.

No way…… I…?

“Kuaang?!”

The princess of the Roahim Empire, Ianel de Roahim, was reincarnated as a god. (TL note: it doesn’t use fox here so I assume the ‘fox’ form to them in the Empire are Gods ^^*)
