Say, you are living in a fantasy world. It is well known in your world that a lot of people were reborn here from another world called earth. In average every 200 people, there's a reincarnator. The reincarnator could be remember their past self from their birth. They were very valuable because either they knew new knowledge from the earth or they were given extra blessing by god. So, many people good or bad interested in them and sometimes do unethical way to get what they wants. You were married and soon gonna have your first children. What was the sign you need to watch to know if your child is a reincarnator? What would you do if your child is reincarnator? Oh yeah, the setting maybe typical fantasy world but if you want xianxia or any setting go ahead.
First clue: Baby seems either way too smart (bc they're a show-off MC) or way too dumb (bc they're hiding their abilities or too shy).
First of all, try to understand the language of English/Japanese/Mandarin Chinese/ Korean. Second, observe any abnormalities such as weird behaviours like talking to oneself in weird language, cruelty to small animals, arson, bed wetting (this also applies in this world), unexplained talents in fields such as but not limited to mathematics and science. If your child did not exhibit any special talent, please still love them.
Answer one of this question: How do you dope silicon to make a transistor? Which are the 3 components to make gunpowder and how to identify them and purify them? How to identify which minerals a certain plant requires to develop and how many cicles you have to rotate to create a rotacional crop system? How do you harness the nitrogen from the air (assuming that it exist in the atmosphere) to create nitrogen based fertilizer? How many phases does a stirling machine has, and how to remove work from it?
wait so theoretical question here, would medieval witch hunters consider Jesus a witch if he walked on water?
I once played around with a story idea where someone is reincarnated as a baby, and does all the traditional isekai things, aka doesn't cry, learns to walk and talk very quickly, shows an unnaturally high intellect for his age, etc. Only instead of his parents being amazed at their child's supposed brilliance, they're deeply disturbed. You see in a world where monsters and magic exist, demon possession is a thing. So his parents immediately take him to the temple so they can perform an exorcism. Of course dumbass reincarnator has no clue what is going on, just assumes that it is the classic "getting your status board" template, and is excited by how even more amazed his parents will be when they see his awesome overpowered status. Little shithead remains completely oblivious to what is going on right up until the temple priest rips his soul from his body and sends it straight to hell. Then perhaps in the greatest twist of irony the child's now empty body is possessed by a low level demon as they leave the temple. The demon is question is ecstatic to now possess such a superb vessel, while also being smart enough to act like a normal child, at least for now. P.S The demon is the real protagonist.
just say ahh how does it feel to be in a new world after dying earthling. and keep that up for a while until they turn 2
Finding out that they have knowledge or technology that they're not possible to learn anywhere in the vicinity considering the period and known technology in the time period that they're in. You see, inventors/innovators typically have background and have studied the area first before inventing something. There has to be information to back whatever they came up with as you can't just make up a drastic measure and expect that it will work without fail. "Hey Mom/Dad, what's wrong with our village? Drought you say? Famine? Everyone is dying of hunger in the village? Then, have you thought of nourishing the land by implementing a crop rotation and setting up an irrigation system? No? Shouldn't we get to it right away?!"
Actually not a bad idea, though if I suspected my kid of being a reincarnated, I would wait till they started talking then take them out into the forest. Once there I would set then on a stump and say "you've been a great kid so far, but as reincarnated are rather common. I need to make sure you're not some crazy killer like Jeffery Fahmer, or Hitler..." then with tears in your eyes, count to ten, then pull out my sword and throw and much bloodlust as you can and run at them.
i didnt cry when i was a baby and the doctor have to slap my baby ass many times to make me cry. Does that make me a reincarnator?
Let's see, as a woman, I guess my first clue would be the way the baby looks at my breasts when I breastfeed. It could be disgust (most likely) or lust (read some disturbing stories like that), but it obviously won't be a baby's ignorant gaze. Reaction: hire another woman to breastfeed and put more time into education and upbringing. If I'm lucky, they'll be gone soon enough to adventure and they'll forget about me. If I'm even luckier, they'll be happy to have a family and will be a decent human. If I'm unlucky and it's an incorrigible pervert son or a psycho vengeful daughter, I'll hire a few other reincarnators to kill them.
