After waking up, Ling Ru remembered the details of yesterday, he had fallen asleep. Looking around, he instantly made the cave out to be the one he woke up in yesterday, there was a hole at the top he did not notice before, it brought in some light.

It was the same bed, he remembered falling asleep leaning on Baba, he even felt embarrassed to have fallen asleep on another man. But since Baba had brought him here, he probably did not care. Stretching a bit, he contemplated today's adventure, it was after all his first real day in this world.

After stretching his arms, there was something annoying him, a strange feeling. Looking around himself, there was something different. Choosing to get out of the bed, he stood up, and he finally knew what was wrong with him. He had grown at least a few centimetres.

To think the growth of demons was this insane, humans could grow quickly too, but not such a noticeable amount in a night. He focused on the hud but was dispirited when seeing he was still a level 0 demon seedling. He quickly gave a dismissive smile as he encouraged himself, of course, you would not level up by idling!

Since he had just woke up, he walked around a bit and got familiar with his body, and then chose to head for the main cave. The main cave was what he called the bigger cave he was in yesterday night. Like a living room, his current room was a bedroom. Making that analysis, he thought of a bath, Ling Ru could use one.

Reaching the cave, only the two female demons were there, so he walked around the cave to look at the other caves inside the tunnel system. Before he got far, the female demons caught him, since he was still so young, he did not want to let them know he understood their speech. They were basically just cuddling him and chatting about how cute he was.

From this interaction, he already got to know that what he had thought, was right. They had really saved him at the perfect time, it was not normal for a demon seedling to be left behind by their parents, this logic seemed reasonable for a human. He also heard something very interesting, these six demons, were a bit barbaric and primitive, but they were actually considering his origin.

This could have a few points to consider, one of the most important ones being that they know that there are other demons in the vicinity. They also make it sound like there was almost a demon city, maybe they were just behind because they did not have the resources, and the people to build. He would have to explore this in the future, after establishing and growing a bit.

Since he got a bit tired of being held around and listening to their chatting got boring, he contemplated whether he should speak or not. There was really no reason not to, he learned the language quickly, but he did not know if this was normal, or if they even cared.

A while went by in his mind, the two female were surprised when they heard Ling Ru’s words, his question.

“Where are the males?”

It was not human language, so it was hard to ask a question for Ling Ru without asking for the wrong point, but after contemplating he thought this question would work. Seeing the stunning appearance of the females, he could guess speaking while so young was not normal, but they actually just waved it away and answered his question.

“Hunting”

The one holding him set him down, it was the other female who had answered his question since they were a bit stunned by the happening, it was not on purpose, but they still distanced themselves a bit from Ling Ru. However, to him, it did not really matter. It was clearly only temporarily until he grew up, then it would be normal to speak.

Turning around he gave up on the exploring of the cave, because he got an idea. Since the males were hunting, he had seen their spears. Since they had spears, they also had something sharp to cut the ends with, maybe he could unlock weapon craft and just keep making the same gear to become incredible at it, before making insane weapons!

This idea was truly awe inspiring, but before he got far he remembered to ask for their names. He was a bit taken aback when they told him they have no names, they are demons. That was all there was to it, so Ling Ru continued to walk outside. It was easy to find out which way it was, because of the main cave, or the living room, was not far away from the exit/entrance, therefore one could see a hint of the outside from the main cave.

His steps were getting more and more stable, he did not hesitate from leaving the cave when he reached the exit, he was a bit blinded by the light since it was quite dark in the cave. His eyes just needed to get used to it. When they did, he saw the same purple trees close to the cave, the cave and tunnel system was inside a huge mountain wall, unclimbable.

The mountain wall declined a bit, so naturally it should have been possible if it was a bit rough, but the mountain wall was incredibly smooth, like a huge sword cutting it in two. One problem with this hypothesis, there was no second part of the mountain, so this was naturally impossible. It was likely able to be reasoned with the weird landscape of this world, just like how the trees are purple and huge, the wall is smooth, two differences, even the grass was not even normal grass, it was purple and thin but tall and very thick.

Ling Ru knew there would be many differences from earth, especially after listening to some of the stories the men shared yesterday. He also got the feeling that they did not always live in the caves, together with what he heard from the females, he had an idea of how they gathered. The highest likelihood was that they were all kicked out of the demon city, if that was so, with his intelligence he might be able to negotiate for them to get back!

He owed them for saving him and taking care of him, without them he would be dead, the transition from another world or not, he was still doomed at that time. What gave him hope was not them, it was not that he slept well or woke up in a bed, it was ultimately because their actions showed affection. This means they are capable of rational thought and love, with how they have developed for now he will be able to help them lots.

He might have failed university exams twice, but he has a lot of knowledge especially game wise. If he just unlocks enough skills and levels them enough, he might be able to make demons one of the most advanced races in regards to technology. Another problem with this though, is he know nothing of other races, or even how this world looks like as a continent.

For now Ling Ru needed to focus on Weapon Crafting, so he just walked around in the vicinity to the cave and explored. He looked at all the stones he found, if any of them was sharp he picked them up, there was only 3 stones that could be used to sharpen wood. For now he stuck to the idea of crafting spears, they should count as weapons.

While walking around, he found a good sized stick lying near a bush, so he went over to pick it up. When he bowed down to pick it up, he heard a small roar. He did not panic, because he could hear it was not close to him. He knew that there was nothing behind him, he did not enter the forest so he was actually still up at the mountain wall, he simply walked along the wall.

Raising his head to look at a spot above the bush, he first eyed the probable cause of the roar, a small boar like a beast, it looked like a tiger boar. It had a boars' round body and long mouth with protruding horns from each side of the mouth, except the boar had two sets more so it was equipped with six horns, its legs were bigger and it had a tiger's tail as well as a golden fur.

Blood flowed from its right eye, it was currently fighting something. Ling Ru could not find any other beasts, he could only see the tiger boar, this gave him a sudden extra heartbeat because it made him think of a possibility.

As he slowly motioned for his body to turn around, he also turned his face to look behind him. The tension inside him grew, but when he turned around, there was nothing. A sigh escaped him in relief as he turned his attention back to the currently wounded tiger boar. When he looked back into the forest, the tiger boar was gone.

Raising his shoulder slightly as to answer his own question of ‘Where did it go?’ with a ‘I don’t know’ shoulder motion. He picked up the stick, and evaluated it to be perfect as one of his first test objects. He walked around for some time more and picked up a few more stick he could make spears out of, and chose to head back to the cave.

When he entered, the females were also gone. He sat down near the fireplace, even though the fire had died long before. He put down the three sharp stones, they were to act as sharpening tools for his work, and he also put down the sticks, he had found seven that would do as a spear. They were straight sticks, quite tough and smooth, perfect to stab or throw.
