    Description
    Thanks to the benevolence of a Goddess, I got reincarnated as a noble! It should have been fine, but the skill I received, [Toxin Decomposition EX], is too plain, and everyday I am fooling around at home.

    However, at some point of time, I discovered that this skill can eat the magic stones of monsters and absorb their abilities, and that I am the prince of a neighboring country!

    What was waiting at the royal castle is experimenting and training with abundant magic stone, in an environment that brings out the strongest power, finally, the ability of the legendary demon Dullahan is mine!

    Surrounded by a clumsy fiancée and a female knight, the new life of a boy who will become a “king” begins!

    author note:
    The point of view start off as the point of view of the protagonist, but has changed to a third person point of view in the middle.
    I am sorry for the change, but the third person is the basic way to go.
    ※ The difference from the book version will be the character’s name and features.​




    The webnovel version of the lightnovel and the manga, it starts slow, very slow, I'm at chapter 16 through the RAWs and still don't know what will become of the MC -- The development is slow. First harem candidate appears at the first chapters too, but the next one...

    As a bonus, apparently we will have "magic steampunk elements" (steam trains with magic stone acting as furnace -- what a waste! High-speed ships with magic stone being used as fuel, "telephone", and so on).

    For those that need pictures, there are two chapters at mangadex (just look for "gurume"), the third chapter is not published in the original site (probably in 8/2 if I understand correctly that site).

    i saw the manga, it looks like a well executed version of the regular tropes, a light read with no pretensions

    Web novel is FAR behind manga.

    2 chapters of web novel < 1st chapter of manga.

    Manga is up to blue rose, and I have no idea what chapter this will be in web novel. :p

    Hello, Kari from Sousaku.blog here.

    First of all, I'd like to apologize to the other translator for this novel. I didnt intend on grabbing a novel already being translated, but at the time I decided to pick it, I checked on NU and it wasnt listed. I delayed posting the chapters until today because I wanted to add them to the batch release I was planning for this month.

    Actually it was until today that I noticed it had another translator after I asked my readers to add it to NU.

    With that being said, I'll continue with it, sorry :blobpensive:

    I also want to add that I'm not the best translator and my japanese isnt that great, but I do my best. I had a bit of trouble with the first two chapters since the "comedy" doesnt really translate well. But the other chapters arent like that so I'm confident in the next chapters.

    Seeing how some people added illustrations, I bought the novel (I always buy the novels I translate), so you can see the illustrations for volume one here:

    https://sousaku.blog/maseki-gurume-toc/

    Anyway, that is all, as for the release schedule of this novel, it'll be at least 1 chapter a week.:blobsmilehappy:

    No, no, we’re happy!!!:blobparty:

    As you can see from previous comments, the previous chapters were bad enough for me to drop this novel and stick to the manga.

    I am reading now, and I’m already quite pleased. Yay!:D
