Chapter 51: Posion Resistance
Caleb wanted to demand a refund. Why did the baby demon rats have [Poison Resistance]? More importantly, when had they gotten it? He didn't remember seeing it when he first checked their information. Had they gotten it while they had been separated? How? What had happened while they were with Grace? Did they test poison on them?He could imagine the rest of the hero party purposely feeding the baby demon rats posioned cheese, but there was no way Grace would do that. She could obviously tell how hostile they were, so there was no way she would leave them unsupervised. That still didn't explain the new skill. If it was just one of them, he could wave it off as it being some random chance. However, every single one of them had it."How did they get [Poison Restiance]?" he muttered to himself.While he was distracted, the baby demon rats glanced at each other. They were confused by his confusion. Was there something wrong with having [Poison Resistance]? It was a skill they had obtained

Chapter 52: Poison Plan
Caleb found himself really considering the idea. If they threw the poisoned deer meat in, then they would be able to poison the water supply. Well, at least one of them. If they really wanted to make sure they poisoned everyone, they had to poison all the water sources. Now that he had the baby demon rats with him, it might actually be possible to pull it off.However, he had to worry about the timing as well as a few other details. He wasn't sure how long it would take the poisoned deer meat to poison the water. Caleb also wasn't sure if it was a good idea to let the baby demon rats go on their own. It would be more efficient and increase the chances of a successful poisoning, but they had already gotten into trouble before when not supervised.There were also the heroes. They would undoubtedly be given a quest to deal with the poison and find the culprit. It was like putting a target on their backs and telling them to come after them. As he struggled to come to a decision, the baby

Chapter 53: Confronting the Baby Demon Rats
Despite thinking this, Caleb felt a twinge of sadness. He really thought of them as his own kids. Even though he was too young to have any, he had cared for them as if he were their father. Of course he could excuse it as needing demons that would serve him, but he wasn't completely blind to the truth. That's why it hit him so hard to know that they were taking advantage of him.Unbeknownst to him, the trio were thinking about how the king would be happy with their hard work. They had already done their job by throwing the deer meat in. None of them could quite understand why he wanted them to do it, but they figured it had to be a great plan. They had considered throwing the rabbit they killed when they arrived into the water too. However, it seemed like a waste.Instead, they should bring it to the king as an offering. He hadn't touched the deer and even said to throw it away. Their king must not like deer meat. Perhaps he would like deer meat. Unfortunately, even a rabbit was diffi

Chapter 54: Discovering the Truth About the Baby Demon Rats
Caleb stared in disbelief. They thought of him as their king. Out of all the things he expected for them to say, king was one of the last things he expected for them to say. Obviously, some of the words he thought they would use to describe him were a joke or a useful tool. If he were more optimistic and really thought they were really on his side, they would call him father.He honestly wasn't sure what to think about being called a king. There was only one being among the demons that was called a king. The demon king was the only one who could get away with being called a king. Even if a demon managed to secure a following, they would never call themselves a king or ruler. At best, they could call themselves a leader. However, that was just asking for trouble.With his mind filled with confusion, he asked, "System, did they just call me king?"[The user has heard correctly. They called you king.]"Why would they call me that?" he asked, still unable to wrap his mind around it.[They

Chapter 55: Back at the Nest
The baby demon rats immediately lined up the moment they saw Caleb and the trio come into view. Now that he knew that they saw him as their king, he couldn't see it as an act of children excited to see their father. It was more like an army greeting their commander, or in this case, their king. He wondered when they started thinking of him as their king.Caleb supposed it didn't really matter when. What mattered was that he should stop seeing them as babies and more as his army, as he intended from the beginning. Maybe if he had done it sooner, then he wouldn't have wasted so much time. The trio with him joined their companions to stare at him. After studying each and every one of them, he went over the plan that was in progress.They wouldn't know how soon the poison would take effect or if it would be enough for the system to decide that he had completed the quest. While he would like to think that poisoning the townspeople would count as revenge, he didn't want to blindly assume. T

Chapter 56: Poisoning Successful
Ultimately, Caleb decided to ignore that issue entirely and pretend he never heard about it to begin with. Instead, he pushed them even harder to become stronger while they waited to see if the deer meat did anything. It was only a week later that they finally saw some results, and what he meant by results was the message he had received from the system.[Quest][A Demon Rat's Revenge][You have successfully gotten revenge against the humans.][Quest Rewards][You have gained a level.]Caleb almost threw his arms into the air and screamed his relief that he had finally completed the quest. He wasn't even upset about the poor rewards. So what if his onl

Chapter 57: Traveling South
Surprisingly, Caleb couldn't get a healing skill from the system. Apparently, in none of his previous lives did he learn a single healing skill. It was hard to wrap his mind around it. He would have thought it was a skill they would desperately try to get their hands on, but not a single one of them did. Why didn't they? Were they that strong that a healing skill would have been a waste of time to learn?Whatever the case was, there was no changing the fact that a healing skill was out of his reach. At least using his past lives. If he wanted a healing skill, he would have to earn it another way. With a sigh, he glanced at the baby demon rats trailing behind him as they continued to travel south. They were doing a good job keeping up with him, and they made decent progress for a bunch of demon rats.Caleb felt bad for not being able to say goodbye to Grace, but it was for the best. He wa

Chapter 58: No Rest For the Demonic
[Quest][Defeat the Demon Rat][A demon rat is lurking nearby.][Defeat the demon rat.][You will be rewarded once the demon rat is dead.]Caleb wasn't sure if he should laugh or cry at the message in front of him. He and the baby demon rats had settled into the nest not too long ago, and he received this kind of message. The system should have told him sooner instead of waiting until he was about to fall asleep. Now he had to deal with the demon rat while feeling tired.There was no way he was going to fall asleep and wait until morning to deal with it. Who knew what would happen if he did? He could just imagine it coming up to his sleeping form and a

Chapter 59: Defeat the Demon Rat (1)
Caleb collapsed to the ground once he was certain that he had lost the giant demon rat. He had found some bushes to hide in while he took a moment to truly catch his breath. For a moment, he truly thought he was going to die there. It had been far too close for his comfort. Where had the giant demon rat come from anyway? Technically, it wasn't really a giant demon rat.He was just small, but he was going to continue calling it a giant. So what if he was unnaturally small? Even as a human, he thought the demon rats were giants. Shaking his head from those thoughts, he focused on what was more important, which was how to deal with it. It wouldn't be easy, considering the difference in size. Of course, he had faced plenty of big demons before.Demon wolves and demon tigers were a few he could name. However, the situation wasn't exactly the same. He had always faced them with his army as bac

Chapter 60: Defeat the Demon Rat (2)
By the time Caleb was able to create the setup necessary for his plan, he was certain that about an hour had passed. During the time he was making the preparations, he kept frantically checking the map to see if the demon rat would attack the baby demon rats. They were either very lucky or the demon rat was just plain stupid and couldn't notice them.Staring down at the ditch he made, he smirked as he checked the map again. The demon rat was heading in his direction. Positioning himself in front of the ditch, he faced where the demon rat was running from. It didn't take long for it to come into view. He saw the moment when it spotted him, as it suddenly ran faster like a bull spotting a red flag.Caleb waited until the last moment to jump out of the way. Unable to move fast enough, it fell into the ditch. Of course, most of its body couldn't fit in it considering its size. He didn't have
