I love Gundam. Not in a fanatical way, as I just love the Universal Century models, shows, and OVAs. I was in love with almost all of it, from ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin’ to the end of the ‘Mobile Suit Gundam: Unicorn’ show. I never really cared for the F91, Victory and Crossbone series and Lord knows how I hated G-Savior. I worked a decent 9 - 5 job and made enough money to indulge my hobby of building U.C. (Universal Century) models. I still had several kits in my backlog to do when I went out to my nearby hobby shop for some extra supplies.

Why am I saying this all in past tense? It is simple; I died. How did I die? Well, to be honest, I am not sure I even died to begin with. I assume that I died, as I am currently a week-old baby in a house that looks like it came out of the middle ages. If I were a gambling man, I would bet on this being one of those standard ‘Isekai’ things that were all the rage for web novels and light novels back before I became this baby. I was worried at first because the infant mortality rate of children was quite high in the middle ages. Thankfully, it seems that not all hope is lost as magic seems to be a thing here. It was only a day ago when I managed to catch a glimpse of my father speaking what I thought was a prayer, only for a small flame to appear in his hand. I hope I have magic powers too. I don’t know any spells, and my newborn ears and eyes might have just been playing tricks on me due to me being a 30-year-old man in a week-old newborn’s body. I don’t know how magic works, so I might as well try out the standard template of reincarnation novels.

Is what I thought to myself. It’s not like I can speak with a newborn body after all.

If I were Joseph Joestar, this is the point where I would be screaming, “Oh, My God!” or “Holy Shit!”. I honestly can’t believe it worked! Some of the stats and skills look a bit wonky though. But I will just write it off as me being a reincarnated person who slogged his way through college. These ‘Generate Mobile Suit Golem’, ‘Generate Mobile Suit Golem Equipment’, 'Customize Mobile Suit Golem' and 'Mobile Suit Golem Hangar' skills look interesting though…

If my knowledge of Isekai tropes serve, then by activating Appraisal on my skills should let me see what they can do.

{Here goes nothing, Appraisal!}

Mobile Suit Golem Hangar – Allows the user to store Mobile Suit Golems for future use. Current limit is 100. Mobile Suit Golem Hangar Level is increased by 100 for every 5 levels or 10 Intelligence. Mobile Suit Golems can be upgraded into different models in the Hangar only once certain criteria have been met (Subject to change if/when Skill Levels Up). Does not reserve Mana.

This was about what I was expecting, if not more. I remembered my Status and appraisal skills used 1 Mana per usage and that my base mana was 10. Therefore, my current mana should be 8 right now. It would be quite vexing if I were to be stuck with 10 mana for the rest of my life, so I will have to see if there is something I can do to raise my total mana points. But for now, I am just a weak baby, and a hungry one at that. I tried making some noise and my mother came over to me.

As ashamed as I am to be feeding like this, the technology level is that of the middle ages, so there is no baby formula or baby bottles (that I know of). I will have to swallow my discomfort with what I am doing for now.

Oh, father just came home with another child.

While feeding, I can overhear their conversation.

NANI?! It’s possible to raise your stats though training, including mana points?!

Sweet! Now all I must do is expend all my mana as often as possible and I will be on the fast track to building an army of Mobile Suits. Although, the numbers on the equipment don’t add up unless the Mobile Suit Golems themselves are human sized or slightly larger/ smaller.

Ah, well. Now that I finished feeding and am back in my crib it’s time to spam Status and Appraisal!
