Caleb took a step back. This was bad. He was in no position to protect himself. He didn't have any of his skills or the system with him. He was effectively defenseless against Lisa. If she decided to kill him, there was nothing he could do to stop her. Any attempts to protect himself would be laughable. However, he wasn't going to let it happen without a fight.Lisa lowered her hands as she said, "Lucky for you, I'm not going to do that."Highly suspicious of her, he asked, "Why?""Why what? Why am I not going to kill you to become the demon king?" she asked. "Obviously, it's because I'm not sure it counts if I kill you here. I don't know what this place is, but it's obviously not our world."That was actually a valid point. It was possible that she wouldn't be able to become the next demon king because she killed him in a place far from her world. The safest bet would be for her to bring him back with her. That just gave him more incentive to stay away from her so she wouldn't kidnap
Once Caleb stopped screaming, he immediately called out, "System."There was no response. Wasn't the system waiting to hear back from him? So why wasn't it responding to him now? If it didn't do something, he was going to fall to his death. Actually, was it possible for him to die? This place was just a temporary waiting spot for him until he chose to go back to the other world or was able to go home. If he could die, then it would defeat the purpose of this place.Well, he wasn't willing to try and see what happened when he hit the ground from such a height. Frantically calling for the system while flapping his hands in an awkward attempt to slow his fall, he could only watch as the ground grew closer and closer. Seeing that the system was no help, he turned to the only other being that could help him."Lisa, wake up," he snapped as he turned his attention to her.Unfortunately, she was unconscious and unresponsive. Reaching out to her, he grimaced when he was unable to get to her. S
It was Ruth and Takisha. Caleb wasn't sure when they arrived, but it couldn't have been that long ago. Now they were only missing Grace. However, since she was the one responsible for the portal, he didn't think she would be coming over any time soon. She was probably anxiously waiting for them to show up on the other side. Unfortunately, he was going to have to disappoint her."When did you two show up?" Lisa demanded as she narrowed her eyes."Since the two of you were taking so long, we had to see what was taking you so long," Takisha calmly said."Yeah, what were you doing? Were you flirting?" Ruth asked.Caleb's face scrunched up in confusion. Where had she gotten that idea? Even though they were all in his harem, they didn't have that kind of relationship. Their relationship was more of a give and take. If he had nothing to offer, then she wouldn't care about him. The fact that she was eager to drag him back to kill him should have been a big hint."As if," Lisa said as she cros
Caleb tried to secretly sneak back into the house without being spotted, but it was significantly harder to accomplish when he had four demon women right behind him. Even though he asked for them to at least hide themselves, they had refused. Their reason was that they didn't want to waste energy hiding themselves. They also didn't see why they should.He had tried to explain to them that he didn't want his relatives to see them, but none of them could understand what was wrong. In fact, they were quite confused about the concept. For a brief moment, he had forgotten that demons didn't have families. They might reproduce, but they didn't consider each other family, so they were understandably confused when he tried to explain it to them.Unfortunately, this meant that they didn't listen to his request. Since he didn't see the car in the driveway, he hoped that no one was home and he could hopefully sneak everyone to his room. He hadn't worked out the logistics of having four women sha
Just like Caleb expected, it was a tight squeeze to fit everyone in the room. There was no room for everyone to sit down comfortably, so three of them were forced to remain standing. Caleb had been one of the lucky ones to sit down in his chair. Takisha also managed to sit down on his bed and wouldn't let anyone else sit beside her.The other three women didn't look happy about it, but they didn't protest as Lisa asked, "Now that we're here, what do we do?"That was a good question, and Caleb didn't have a good answer. They had been the ones to refuse to leave, but there wasn't really a place for them to stay. Caleb doubted that they would want his bed to rest. They would probably be offended by the idea since his room was plain compared to what they were used to. He had forgotten what their rooms had looked like.Takisha looked at Caleb as she asked, "Are you really sure you know nothing about how to escape this place?""No," he lied. "I don't have a clue."She frowned as Ruth said,
"I still don't see a problem," Ruth said once Caleb finished his explanation."What do you mean? The authorities will come after you the moment you cause trouble," he snapped, losing his fear in the heat of the moment."Do you really think we're that weak that we would lose to a bunch of humans?" Lisa asked.Caleb didn't know about that. They were used to a world where humans were obviously weaker than them. Only the heroes were strong enough to face them, but that was back in their world. He wasn't sure if the same rules applied in this place. After all, they never had to deal with guns before. Would they really be fine if a fight broke out?"I'm not sure why it bothers you so much," Mildred said. "Do you actually care about these things?"Well, no. He didn't really care about them. Caleb knew it was all fake. Whatever happened here wouldn't affect him when he went back home, but he didn't know when that would happen. That meant it was important that they didn't cause trouble for him
Caleb wasn't sure when he had fallen asleep. He had honestly no clue how he managed to pull it off when he had been currently stressed over what the four demons could be doing, but it happened. One moment he was thinking about what he should do to ensure his peaceful life, and the next he was waking up to the sound of banging on the door.He sat up as he tried to process what was going on. Where had Takisha and Mildred gone? Caleb had thought he heard them say those two would stay behind to watch him, but there was no one else in the room with him. Suddenly, the door slammed open, and a familiar face came into view. It was his aunt, and she looked absolutely furious."Explain yourself," she demanded as she stormed up to him.It took him a moment to recall why she was upset. Seeing his cousin being comforted by his uncle behind his aunt was a huge clue. She must have told them what happened. Well, it wasn't like he hadn't been expecting this, because he had. However, he had expected th
Caleb flinched as Mildred seemingly appeared out of nowhere as he blurted out, "Where were you?"If he was in the right mood or thinking straight, he wouldn't have dared to yell at her. While they wouldn't kill him yet, they could do a lot of things worse than death. Fortunately, she didn't seem bothered by his rude tone. A swarm of bats filled the room before taking the form of Takisha. He decided not to question where the bats had come from."We decided to stay back and see why you're so attached to this world. We still haven't figured out why you would want to be here," Takisha calmly said as she folded her arms on top of each other.Mildred nodded. "We thought that perhaps you were attached to the humans here, but there doesn't appear to be a bond between you."He could hear the unspoken question. They wanted him to explain why he would want to stick around if he couldn't get along with his relatives, not that they knew they were his relatives. Caleb wasn't sure if they had picked
