The Terminal Baby Physician Doesn’t Hide Being a Genius

Chapter 1

The Imperial Palace of ‘Baiho’, the empire of the Western Continent.

In the enormous reception room, a small number of people sat before a vast table, making its size seem almost meaningless.

They were the heads of massive factions that could sway this empire.

“So, we’ve decided to acknowledge your achievement in obtaining the ‘Immortality Elixir’ that supposedly prevents aging and death.”

At the Crown Prince’s words, I secretly clenched my fist.

‘Finally!’

How much had I struggled and fallen and gotten back up to reach this position.

“You brought the item properly, didn’t you?”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

I smiled gently.

And then I poured out the words I had prepared.

“For this, I wandered through entire mountains, chewing on every single medicinal herb! I gulped down poison after poison to test their effects!”

Ah, so cheap, so cheap!

“…You’re no different from a medicine peddler.”

“Yes, I am a medicine peddler.”

That’s right, I’m this country’s greatest physician. The greatest medicine peddler.

Damn book possession, sob sob, farewell to those days of crying.

This empire is a place where countless physicians and pharmacists compete.

I’m an immigrant from the Eastern Continent here.

And despite countless discrimination against Easterners, I’m a genius who created the Immortality Elixir.

This was finally the moment to be recognized as the greatest ‘physician’ and ‘pharmacist’.

“You may try it once before deciding.”

“Good. You gave us a total of two medicines. We’ve decided to try it first on His Majesty the Emperor, who is currently ill. Then I’ll try it myself.”

“Yes, it’s an honor!”

Inwardly, I snorted.

‘Fire-attribute filial son bastard. He’s saying he’ll use his sick father as a test subject.’

The Crown Prince’s cunning was famous even in other countries. In the original story, he was the bastard who backstabbed the Female Lead several times.

“Ahem, there, healer! Consider it an honor to be used on the most noble body.”

“My family’s generations will consider it an honor.”

One lord’s face turned bright red when I smiled. Disgusting.

“Ahem, what family for a lowly Eastern subject…”

“Moreover, that vulgar family completely collapsed.”

“Enough.”

At the Crown Prince’s words, the grumbling lords shut their mouths.

“Yes, you said you had a wish you wanted to make in exchange for offering the Immortality Elixir.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

I will ask for one treasure.

‘That’s all I need.’

It wouldn’t be wrong to say I’ve devoted my entire life for that.

“But what should I do?”

“…Pardon?”

“Unfortunately, it seems difficult to grant your wish.”

I felt an ominous feeling as I watched the approaching knights. Just as I expected.

“I know that you heal your own wounds very well.”

“Cough!”

“So I intend to kill you in one strike.”

I coughed up blood.

“A genius physician who heals using water. But… healing becomes difficult without clean water nearby, doesn’t it?”

My eyes trembled.

‘How does he know that when almost no one should know?’

I’ve had many enemies throughout my life.

Because I was an Asian who others discriminated against, because I was pretty and young despite being Asian. But also because I was capable.

“Come to think of it, if I keep you alive, you’ll make the Immortality Elixir for others too, won’t you? So how can I trust your promise?”

“…”

“I don’t need any other immortals besides myself.”

“…”

The Crown Prince smiled wickedly.

“So you’ll have to die.”

I was about to shout in protest, but the pain made it impossible to say anything.

“Even the greatest physician of Asian origin can’t do anything against a surprise attack.”

I raised my head.

The Lords were all grinning wickedly.

“We saw through you from the moment that vulgar wench from the East started talking about wishes.”

“If you don’t know your place, you should at least have some sense…”

“Your ability was good though, wasn’t it? Hoho.”

I wiped the blood while thinking.

‘Actually, I thought this would happen.’

The Empire’s greatest physician and a genius.

I had reached the position I aimed for, but when I suddenly looked up, there was no one beside me.

No friends, no family, no clan. No relatives either.

‘They either betrayed me or fell to ruin.’

I let out a sigh.

I stopped wiping the blood.

“Dear Your Majesty.”

“….”

Instead, I grinned wickedly.

“Be careful with your hair.”

“What, what?”

“You secretly commissioned hair loss medicine from me. Did you think I wouldn’t know who you were?”

The Crown Prince’s eyes widened as if they might tear. When you’re about to die, what’s there to hold back?

“Your hair ran away because your personality is so rotten.”

“That’s…!”

“Go easy on the wig. If you want to protect what little hair you have left.”

The lords who had been laughing merrily looked at the Crown Prince in surprise.

The Crown Prince’s forehead, which somehow seemed rather wide.

The Crown Prince’s face turned bright red.

“D-don’t all stare at me! I don’t have anything like that!”

What’s he saying, the future baldie.

“And just yesterday, I secretly met with the Three Kingdoms and told them I would offer the Immortality Elixir to the Baiho Imperial Palace.”

Everyone flinched in shock.

The empire is declining.

In the fierce competition of national power, the Immortality Elixir I created had become a treasure coveted by all emerging powers and kingdoms.

The Western Continent’s main source of income is war.

In an era overflowing with those who live off war, it would serve as an excellent justification for invasion.

‘Scared now, you bastards?’

Did you think you’d live happily after killing me?

“I gave them solid evidence. Go ahead and try saying the Immortality Elixir isn’t here.”

What do I care if war breaks out after I die, or if this crumbling empire falls?

‘This is the disaster your karma brought upon you.’

How much must you have bullied other kingdoms?

“You damned bastard!”

I laughed heartily. My vision was getting blurry.

‘Tsk, is it really too hard to do this alone?’

I have no faction that would take my side.

I thought things would be different if I became a genius who could overwhelm everyone by myself.

I realized that too late.

But I know there’s still a chance left for me.

“Farewell, everyone! I hope you all perish in the middle of war!”

All of you die. You bastards who killed me.

“And when I die, poison will spread from my corpse, so good luck surviving.”

And there’s one last thing I need to say.

“Oh right!”

I was the greatest genius physician and pharmacist who dealt with poisons and medicines.

But at the same time.

He was a fraud.

“That Immortality Elixir is fake.”

Me?

I’m fine.

‘Tsk, this life is ruined too.’

* * *

“Uweeeeek!”

As soon as I opened my eyes, I dry heaved.

Of course, nothing came out.

This was just ‘regression aftereffects.’

Damn it, I failed again!

Ugh, ugh, after continuing to cough for 30 minutes, I finally managed to lift my head.

In front of me was a broken window. My reflection appeared in it.

Pure white and soft cheeks, but I could see the sunken parts.

Still, it was a pretty face.

My age was exactly three years old.

“Damn it.”

Ahem, ahem, as soon as I opened my mouth, I coughed again.

“Failed again.”

I roughly tousled my hair.

In the broken window, I saw a baby with disheveled light purple hair.

“I have to live another 20 years! Aaaaah!”

Even though I screamed, my echo just reverberated wildly through the empty space where no one came.

This is all because I got possessed into my friend’s favorite childcare novel that I didn’t even like!
