[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

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
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race 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
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 61: Defeat the Demon Rat (3)
Caleb watched as the baby demon rats attacked the unconscious demon rat with glee. The sight was so frightening that he found himself relieved that they saw him as their king. Despite their appearance, anyone would be traumatized by the sight of demon rats climbing all over them and tearing into their flesh. Fortunately, his sight was soon blocked by a familiar screen.[Quest][Defeat the Demon Rat][You have successfully defeated the demon rat.][Quest Rewards][You have gained a level and received 1 gold.]Just as he was starting to feel relieved that the quest was completed, he realized he had made a grave mistake. Caleb hadn't picked a new skill wh
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 62: Finding a New Nest
[The baby demon rats have reached adulthood.]"I can see that," Caleb snapped. "I'm asking why they're so big. All the previous demon rats that were my followers were the same size as me. Why is there such a big difference?"[It is because of how the user raised them. They were able to immediately grow into the typical size for demon rats.]Caleb stared at the screen for a few moments before oggling the giant demon rats patiently waiting for his orders. The system had mentioned before that their growth was dependent on how he raised them, but it was still a huge change. He had imagined that they would grow into something around his size, like his previous followers. Then they would eventually grow bigger.They just skipped a stage. It was like those games about raising a pet from
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 63: Becoming Accustomed to the New Changes
The cave was actually quite comfy, in Caleb's opinion, if he ignored how he had flashbacks to what happened the last time he was in the cave. It was only thanks to the presence of the baby demon rats and [Steadfast Mind] that he didn't have a panic attack. He ended up cuddling up against his followers, using them as a bed to sleep on instead of the cold, hard ground.However, once morning came, Caleb knew he had to deal with the sudden changes. His old plan had to be scrapped. That was obvious. What wasn't obvious was what the new plan should be. He had to be careful so there wouldn't be a reenactment of what happened to his army last time. He decided to shelve the matter and focus on the baby demon rats.Caleb corrected himself. They weren't baby demon rats anymore. He watched as they scurried around like they normally did. Of course, it wasn't as cute or discrete compared to when they
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 64: Planning World Domination (?)
Caleb swore up and down that he didn't know why he said that. He didn't have aspirations of ruling the world. He really didn't. He wasn't a power hungry or ambitious person. Unfortunately, there was no taking his words back. Once the words came out, he immediately regretted it, as they took it at face value. His army of eleven was determined to crown him the king of the world.It wasn't his fault. Okay, it was a little bit his fault. He could have said something else, but the question had really caught him off guard. It wasn't like he could tell them about his plans to return home. A part of him felt guilty that he was essentially abandoning them. However, this wasn't his world. He wasn't meant to be here. It had been a freak accident."My king," Gloria said for the hundredth time. "Why not send us to search for more loyal subjects?""There's no need,"
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 65: World Domination Plans
The question was how was Caleb supposed to plan world domination. It wasn't like he had any references to it outside of TV and video games. Of course, he couldn't follow what he had seen either since it was always the villains plotting world domination, and all their plans obviously ended in failure. If he tried to copy what they did, he would be just setting himself up for failure.Besides, not all the situations could be used, even if he wanted to. He wasn't a millionaire who could use his wealth to dominate whatever industry he forced his way into. This wasn't an urban setting. Caleb was clearly in a fantasy setting with things stacked against him, even if he did have a system trying to help him every step of the way.Immediately turning to the only one who could help, he asked, "System, do you have any ideas on world domination?"[The user needs to be more specific.]"I mean, can you give me ideas or plans to start?" Caleb asked.Unfortunately, the system is unable to help in this
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 66: First Step to World Domination
Caleb wasn't sure what to feel when he saw the message. On one hand, it was the system's way of helping. On the other hand, it wasn't much help. All the quest said was to complete the first step to world domination. It never specified what the first step was. Basically, the system was leaving it up to him to figure out what to do. Then it would reward him.He sighed. Well, he supposed he would at least be rewarded for his efforts. It was nice that he got a chained quest. The rewards would surely get better as he completed each part. He tried to imagine what kind of rewards he would get. Maybe it would allow him to level up more than once. That would be great, but how would picking skills apply?After allowing himself a brief moment to think about the possibilities, he returned his attention back to the issue at hand. None of that mattered if he couldn't even complete the first step. Since the system was leaving it up to him, he would have to figure out what would be the easiest thing
