Synopsis for Jitsu wa Ore, Saikyou deshita?

Being reincarnated in another world with the promise of a “cheater” power is one thing. But being reborn as a baby, and then being left for dead after your real parents think you’re powerless? That is something totally different. Now, newborn Reinhart – Hart to his new friends – must find his way through a dangerous world… but luckily he has magic literally off the charts!
