I died.
My death was the most tradgic of all stories.
Unfortuntanely, my death is so embarrassing that I rather not explain it in details.
Instead I'll explain the events that came after my death, something even I can't believe.
It all began when I opened my eyes to find myself in another world and in a totally different body.
Before I begin the story of my new life , I would like to warn you that this is just like any other isekai'd type novel.
...
You're still reading?
Well, I warned you.
This is the story of how I came to another world.
Deep in a cave in the Juva Kingdom
One can see many different colored demon babies being fed.
Amongst those demon babies, there was one in particular with a pale skin color.
This demon baby, is me.
That's right, I was reincarnated after my death and I'm now a demon baby.
At first, when I realized this I was so shocked that I hadn't eaten in 4 days.
I had my reasons though, since the food looked quite strange.
But after starving myself for so long, I gave up and ate the strange foods given to me.
Apparently not eating the foods to begin with garnered some odd looks from the adult demons.
Not that I cared.
What I cared about was the fact that I didn't understand the language here.
I think that's the reason why that once I became a toddler demon, the other demon kids refused to play with me.
Honestly, I'm fine with that too.
If you are wondering, demons have a fast growth rate.
It takes us exactly 1 week to grow from a baby to a toddler.
Once we reach our teens our growth rate slows, this means we don't have to worry too much about old age.
I guess that's a great thing, to have a young appearance no matter the age.
Well enough of that. It's not my point anyways.
My point is that I'm pretty much out casted by the other demons because of a language barrier.
I eventually found myself in a little space in a corner feeling extremely bored.
The reason I'm bored is because in a demon's hideout, there's nothing to do!
Ugh!
I think if this goes any longer I'd die from exhaustion!
It's even worse when I don't have a clue what anyone is saying.
So far I have elder demons shouting nearby or the child demons looking and laughing in my direction.
Is it me, or am I being made fun of?
But, it's whatever.
I may be a demon now but I still have the brain of a human.
I sigh as I noticed one of the elders dragging in a sack from the outside.
It must be that time of the day.
I'm sure that they went to go raid the humans and that these are some of the junk they brought back.
After tossing the junk on the floor it's first come, first serve.
I never usually join in these sorts of battles.
I watched as even toddler demons fought over the items.
I guess one can say these are spoils from a job well done, wearing items taken from dead corpses.
Thinking like that would normally faze me, but I'm merely just a demon now.
When I thought this I noticed something sparkling amongst the items.
Hm?
What is that, I wonder?
I crawled over to the pile while many of the items started disappearing one by one.
I could hear hissing and constantly pushing amongst the others.
Luckily, the item rolled towards me when another demon kicked it.
So, I didn't have to get trampled on by the other demons.
I held up the marble looking item and watched in awe as a bright green light bursts from the orb-shaped item.
When that happened a whole new world was introduced to me allowing me to see something interesting.
I'm especially aware of what type of demon I am now.
"Whats that bright light?" A voice amongst the other demons asked.
I blinked as the light suddenly fades away and the marble along with it.
It seems that I got a hold of something really amazing.
"It's that trash, The one that can't understand what we're saying." Another demon elder whispers looking in my direction.
I kept hearing the word trash to the point that it was pretty annoying.
Forget them, I have no time for the trivalty of these lesser demons anyways.
Not only did I gain a huge amount of knowlege of the world, I even gained the ability to understand and speak many languages.
I must prepare for the outside world.
I won't stay here any longer, because it won't be long before I am old enough to travel.
I must gather more things that humans drop.
With that thought in mind I found myself leaving the cave on my own.
So not to get caught, I should sneak out during the night around the time the other demons sleep.
After Preparations
Three Weeks Later....
I now stood tall at the cave entrance, it was time to leave behind this cave in search of a new place I can really call home.
I bet you're wondering why I waited three weeks.
It's because a toddler demon's growth sprouts a bit slower and takes three weeks to get older.
I'm now a teenaged Demon.
It's night out and it was the perfect time to sneak away.
No one should know that I'm trying to leave here.
They probably wouldn't care even if I didn't sneak out.
I grabbed and shifted my small bag of trinkets before taking that step outside the cave.
"Wait!" A loud whisper stopped me in my tracks.
Right, I almost forgot about that demon child.
"Please wait Reesa! I want to come with you." A green demon ogre named Kika came running to the cave entrance with a desparate expression.
That's right, a race of a rare breed of demon ogres. I say rare because we don't look like you're usual ugly ogres.
We're able to become Kijin if we become strong enough.
It's rare if we even become Supreme Kijin.
"Kika, why aren't you sleeping?" I asked looking back at him.
Kika, he's actually the only ogre demon that chose to hang around me.
With his yellow skin tone,small demon horns and his small stature, he has a cute appearance.
Despite this he's strong and quite admired by the other demons , but to me he's very irritating.
"I want to come with you." He had a more determined expression on his face.
"No." I say turning away to leave.
He grabbed my arm, "Reesa!" He yells with a whisper.
Why do I have to deal with something like this?
If I don't let him follow he may wake the others.
If I do let him follow me then I will have something bothersome by my side.
What should I do?
I frowned.
I blew out a breath of defeat while looking down at his sparkling eyes.
I'm sure it''s just my imagination, but that expression makes it hard to turn him down.
"Fine. But if you choose to follow me then you must call me, Master." I say.
This should keep him from wanting to follow me, right?
There's no way a proud ogre demon like Kika would call someone like me master.
"If that's what you wish." He says not once looking from my gaze.
What is this? Is he serious?
I guess he lacks pride. And it was my last chance to get rid of him.
I scowled and swiftly turned my back to him, "do as you wish." I mutter.
He grins brightly as he follows me out the cave.
Well, it's just one more mouth to feed.
