Fortunately, nothing outrageous happened. Caleb didn't suddenly have to deal with police or scientists banging on his door. His relatives continued to treat him more or less the same. It was almost like he had never left. In fact, he almost believed that it was just a figment of his imagination if it weren't for his current looks. So far, he has had no luck contacting the system.Caleb scowled as he glared at his laptop. He was trying to work on his only lead since the system refused to respond to him. Since the other world was based on a game he played, he suspected that the developers had a connection to that place. If he could somehow find a way to speak with them, then he could solve his current body issue.Unfortunately, they were unresponsive. All his attempts to contact them ended in failure. Granted, he should have probably done a better job phrasing it the first time he tried to get in contact with them. He probably came off as crazy based on what he first sent. No, it wasn't

"You're joking," Caleb blurted out. "What's going to happen to me while that happens? Is my body even here?"It would explain why he didn't look like his original self. However, it mentioned that this was some kind of limbo. Wasn't limbo the place between life and death? There was no way he would be able to survive years in this place in one piece. Also, it never mentioned if time moved differently between here and the other two worlds. What if time moved quickly?Wouldn't that mean that by the time he returned home, his relatives would have already passed away, leaving him all alone? He would be homeless and stuck without any way to live. It wasn't like he could go around saying he was Caleb. His age wouldn't match, and people would think he's someone crazy. No, he absolutely couldn't accept the system's suggestions."There has to be a third option," he said as he slammed a hand on the table."There is no third option. We've clearly stated that there are only two choices," it said.C

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

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

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,
