Being King in another world

A soon to be a dead person is reincarnated in another world as Gilgamesh. He thought about living a kingly life but there is more to it than he thought. --- This is going to be a little slower pace but I will try to make some adventures for Gilgamesh. Remember, MC is not Gilgamesh from Fate but he is in his body so he won’t be calling every single person a mongrel but he will have a similar personality. A little crueler. It will be a little slow but please bear with it. Constructive criticism and suggestions are welcome. This is also going to be kingdom-building so different points of view will be added which may reduce the screen time of MC but I will try to stick with MC more. --- English is not my first language so English professors could participate in correcting me.

Chapter 3 Info

I open my eyes and saw the same ceiling before I was knocked out. I raised my hand in the air and sighed.

Yes, I recovered all the memories of my game with that damn angel along with the memory of this body.

As you have guessed, my name is Gilgamesh and I am the future king of the 'Kingdom' of Babylon. Yes, it may seem similar to the back story of the original Gilgamesh but it is entirely different. This is a magical world where monsters or demonic beasts exist.

First, I am the son of the 3rd king of Babylon, Nisar Saran (SAR=King, An=Heaven in Sumerian language) and my mother's name is Celia, who is not the queen but assistant. Both of them are humans. There is no position for the queen which is also weird. I was born like a normal child but at age of 2, I slowly become unresponsive since my memory was merging with this body but I was aware of my surroundings. Thanks to that I didn't have to face the generic isekai problem of awareness of adults during childhood like crying, getting my ass cleaned by maids, or sucking titties of my mother.

I was confused at my maid called me 'young master' and not a prince but after getting some pieces of memories, it seems like there would be some kind of test for me to be declared as the prince. I am not sure but I have a bad feeling about this.

Anyway, this age is not the one that you are expecting since I have seen papers and ink so you can expect this age as before the technological era where human is still developing just like other isekai. I have also heard that there is barely any 'noble' in this kingdom. There are no English noble ranks. Every city is ruled by one city lord who answers to the king.

"Umm…"

I turned my head to see the demon who nearly killed me, was sleeping like a doll but when she felt my movement she woke up. She was none other than my own mother Celia. By the way, it was already morning.

"MY BAB-"

"No!!"

She was about to launch on me again but I immediately backed off with fear in my eyes.

"Ugh sorry…"

She felt a little embarrassed when she realized what she did before. Yeah, I don't want to die lovely.

"Hmm… do you remember me…?"

She was still embarrassed but I could see the curiosity in her eyes.

"Yes, mother," I answered calmly. I have to appreciate this body since it is very firm and composed even as a child.

Tears formed in her eyes and she nodded with a bright smile.

"Thanks, Lord! That's right I am your mother. Sorry for earlier…"

"It's okay. Please be careful."

Damn this body is good. I am nervous from the inside but the words coming from my mouth were firm and composed.

"Um. Still, I am happy that you can talk like this…"

She said then started looking at me with puppy eyes and arms open. I knew what she wanted so I sighed and moved towards her. This time she gently hugged me and then we shared a warm hug. Again I am thankful to this body that I didn't have to make any drama while interacting with her.

"Lady Celia, King Nisar is coming."

A maid spoke from behind. She was the same maid who first saw me. She has brown hair and fair skin. I think her name is Sidri.

"Gil, come and standup. You have to pay respect to the king."

She said gently to which I obeyed and stood up.

"The King has arrived."

A maid said then stood on the side of the door with silence. Mother and I also stood up side by side waiting for his arrival.

A man with a big build and strong features emerged from the entrance. His hair was brown and his eyes were red like mine. He was wearing a similar outfit that caster Gil used to wear but not exposing his upper body but what was the most astonishing thing was his invisible majestic aura of a king. My head bowed to him automatically without my knowing.

"It seems like you know us well, Gilgamesh."

His voice had a dominant pressure. I can't help but got goosebumps in presence of a real king and that probably would be me in the future.

"Yes, my king. I was aware of my surrounding. Thanks to your care, I have been recovered."

I answered to the best of my ability with my head down. My voice was also similar to Kid Gil of Prisma Illya.

He nodded at the maid who nodded and left the room. After she left, king, no, my father smiled like a normal person and the aura which was present a while ago was also dulled down. Mother also smiled.

"Don't need to call me king. Call me father instead." He said patting my head.

"Hehe, as you wish father." I giggled and said. Both of their eyes shined like heard shaped and were ready to hug me but I raised my hand since I don't want to suffocate again. I think I possess the [Rosy-cheeked Youth] skill of Child Gil that he used to charm Illya.

"Ahem. Come and meet me at a study where we could discuss further." Father said but then mother pinched his waist and he moaned in pain little.

"Not happening. There are tons of works that you have been neglecting for a while. You could talk to him in the evening after the work Mr. King." Mother said with a smug.

'Damn, she is a demon.' That's what my and father thought simultaneously.

"Are you guys thinking something rude about me?" She asked with a visible demon behind her to which both of us shook our heads. She then came forward and pat my head with a smile and said, "Get some rest, Gil. I know you want some extra time alone so get some. We will come at night to have chat."

She then left with a crying king who was mumbling something like 'paperwork will someday kill the king' to which I shuddered for some reason. But I like the feeling of having parents.

I then went to my bed and lay down. I sighed and spelled a single word, "Status."

[Ding! The system has been activated. Welcome, Mr. Gilgamesh. Your questions will be answered by me from now on.]

"Well, that sucks since I can't use all the powers of Gilgamesh for now. I think I have to work my way through like all other stories of 'weak to strong'."

I giggled and then sighed. I know that I just lived the life of 33 years old adult and given a second chance as a tyrant king but I was still reluctant to continue. Living a… fulfilling life was a good thing but living again?... I don't know if I should even continue.

For now, I stood from my bed and walked to the window. People like ants were moving and unlike t night time, the city was bustling with people. I could also see that infrastructure is way better than I had imagined. There is a proper road for vehicles that are coming towards the castle and market.

I smiled and thought about whether I should change the way people are living or not. After all, I will be the next king, which I want to become despite being a little reluctant.

"Hmm, training and da way to the steam engine," I said and smirked.
