Reborn in nobles thanks to the goddess! It should be good-every day when the skill [the detoxification EX] is too sober and foolish at home ....
　However, at one time, you will be informed that you can eat the magic stone of the demon with that skill and absorb the ability, and that you are the prince of a neighboring country!
　What I have been waiting in Wangjo is in an environment where you can experiment and train with abundant magic stones and bring out the strongest power-finally, the ability of the legendary monster Durahan will be mine!

Description of the manga because is says more about the story

 

Only read the manga, i wonder why it says only HE can eat magic stones. His power is just to make the stones eatable. Normally it should also work on other people.

 

if i'm correct humans can only touch low quality magic stones are they to strong then it will harm the body
and if i'm correct they use the magic stone while he take the magic inside it self (making him stronger)

 

In the manga, he just got the skill to make the magic stones eatable, he doesn't have any special skill like Gluttony or other stuff that makes him unique of getting skills/stats by eating magic stones. So normally other people should also be able to eat magic stones (that MC transformed) and get bonuses.
Of course everything could be clarified if there is a mention of the goddess making his body special and making it not shown on status.

 

I was about to write a request for someone to pick this up. . I’m so happy I’m not the only one who wants this translated (I’ve been impatiently waiting for the manga to release).

Also is it bad of me that I want the MC’s father to have massive regret for neglecting his eldest? It seriously pisses me off that the father wrote off his son for a “useless” skill. . I want spoilers as to when the MC meets his father again.

 

Went and read the manga, though there are only 3 chapters so far. Really nice to see a story where the mother just takes her son and leaves, instead of quietly suffering while her son stews in impotent rage his entire childhood.

 

I want to read this after finding the manga. And I think the father will get his just desserts when the MC comes back lays the beat down on his brother for trying to take the girl he gave the star crystal to.

 

They are extremely poisonus only his Toxin Decomposition EX skill allows him to survive. Anyone else would die from eating them.

 

I really want to read this. Manga caught me wanting more.

 

Do you mean to say that his skill only works in contact with his body ? Because it's kinda not really explained in manga because it just looks like he touched the stone and it became eatable, there was no shown reason that he couldn't just give the no-toxin stone to someone else.

 

I think its the premise where touching a magic stone is alright until you swallow it as it will react and becomes extremely poisonous, so maybe thats why only mc can eat them

 

And the moment he absorbs the toxin, the magic stone becomes useless as the toxins are the good stuff lol

 

+9001 I'd like to see it translated

 

There's a very good translator that's right now looking for a webnovel for his next project:

Help spread the love for this series and cast your vote in the comments, maybe Reigokai will pick the webnovel!

 

Didn't know there was ch3, read it and found it really awesome even though i would somehow prefered to not have a love triangle with MC - brother - duke loli.

 

Indeed! This manga looks promising.

 

I do not understand why people keep saying it’s going to be a love triangle between the MC - MC’s brother - Duke’s Granddaughter. Like, where is that mentioned?

Ch.3 of the manga does not say it. The MC and the MC’s brother both went to a party at the Duke’s estate, where it would be announced that the MC’s brother was going to be the next earl of their household and was engaged to a marquis’s daughter. MC then met and flirted with the Duke’ Granddaughter. Nowhere is this triangle mentioned.

 

We misunderstood with who the brother is going to be the fiancé. Unless it's you who is wrong, for some reason i remember Duke when talking about the girl for the brother.

 

I’m pretty sure they said marquis daughter for the brother, It was just a brief section in the manga (like pg. 4 I think).

 

Well... that would explain why she left the party to follow MC but i also thought before she came back to encounter the brother.
