Chapter 1

There's a lot of things I hate

Hypocrites who blind to their hypocrisy

Stubborn fools who hold to their ideals and cause harm just because they don;t want to be in the wrong.

And finally truck-kun. That's right, it's probably what you are thinking. I died in the most cliche way possible pushing an idiot out of a moving truck. I don't know why I did it, true that I always wanted to be a hero but I'm a selfish guy. I never bothered helping anyone because I didn't know them so it wasn't wasn't my responsibility. So that's why I was busy thinking about why I would help a total stranger!

Like come on, my future was looking bright. I worked hard to graduate highschool. I got a diploma and got accepted into a college near my parents. But no, my body had to throw itself to save a total stranger.

Now that my complaining is done I was wondering where I am. My surroundings were in total darkness. I couldn't see my body or limbs. So I have two theories, theory number 1 is this is the waiting room for judgement from God even though I don't believe in him or I was in a womb waiting to be reborn.

My second theory was proven correct when I was suddenly pushed out. When I was pushed into the light I felt tears swell up in my eyes and I started screaming when air rushed to my lungs.

Being in complete and total darkness with a body left me very vulnerable to the elements once again especially since my body was a newly born baby's body. I couldn't make out what was happening to me but I think I was moved out of the room and into a crib.

When my skin touched a soft service my body became warm and I started feeling a little drowsy. I closed my eyes and took a short nap.

I didn't know how long I was asleep but when I awoke I began looking around the room I was in. I wanted to have an idea of where I was but I had no idea. The room was well decorated and when I mean well decorated I mean designs meant for Royalty. I shook it off, not willing to draw a conclusion without proper evidence.

After I was done looking around the room I began thinking about my predicament. It felt strange to be in a baby body while conscious of it. Now most people will probably wonder how I was handling being reborn. Well other than the horror of seeing the birthing process from a baby's point of view I am doing great. Most people would expect some form of freak out but not me. I am a firm believer in accepting one's situation in reality. I was reborn. I had no control over it, that was the truth of my situation. Why bother worrying about something I had no control over?

I heard the door open and I saw a man with crimson hair with blue eyes. His build seemed to be someone who's fit with the right combination of strength and speed. He wore a black tunic with brown pants. They remind me of stage prompts from plays about medieval tales.

"The Empress died giving birth to your son." The man wearing an outdated robe that reminds me of priest's robes said. Um Empress so that means this guy is royal and now so am I and I don't know how to feel about it. I was from a humble family from Georgia and now am the heir to an empire that is a major change but hey at least I get a comfy life as long as I don't fuck things up in my rule or my if farther doesn't start uprisings.

The man looked at me with a calculating glint in his eyes before it was gone. "Hello there." The man called out to me and he picked me up with both of his arms. He looked at me straight in the eyes before chuckling.

"It seems that God has blessed me with a quite intelligent heir." My new father said he was quiet for a moment before speaking again, "My son your name shall be Lucius Tiberius and I have a feeling you shall bring greatness to our beloved Rome!" My father said

My mind went blank for a couple seconds before rebooting. So I was born during an era where the Roman Empire was still a thing? If so fuck! I was born in the 21st century with all the modern appliances at my disposal! How was I supposed to live in an era where there was none of that! What's worse, I wasn't some prodigal engineer where I could make modern appliances like some Isekai protagonists! I started tearing up realizing that my comfortable life style

Even though my new life was not what I expected I lived it the best I could. Let me tell you my legend. The Legend of how I became the Sword Emperor that surpassed the 'King of Knights'!
