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

Something in Caleb's face must have given him away, as Mildred asked, "Did the system tell you otherwise?"Seeing no reason to lie, he nodded. "Yes, the system told me if I fulfilled a certain requirement, I would be able to go home.""Does it involve being in this world?" Takisha asked with a thoughtful look."Not exactly. Why are you so quick to assume the system gave me the chance to go home?" When he saw their blank stares, he quickly said, "Never mind. Dumb question."Of course, it had to be the system. Who else would be able to get him back home? It certainly wasn't the humans or demons. Caleb couldn't say much about the angels since he had never encountered one himself. The only time they appeared in the game was in the very beginning, and that was only for a brief custscene. Afterwards, they were never seen again.Literally, everyone else had more screen time than they did. They didn't even appear in flashbacks or anything. It was honestly a waste of art. Why spend time on crea

The trio headed towards the source of the explosion as Caleb lamented his peaceful stay in this fake world. If the authorities connected him to the explosion, he was going to have to go on the run. The thought of having to run and hide until the system said everything was clear sent shivers down his spine. That absolutely couldn't be allowed to happen.As they rounded the corner, the two demons in front of him suddenly stopped. Unprepared, Caleb barreled into their backs. Of course, he wasn't strong enough to knock them down. Instead, he was the one to fall on his butt. He grimaced as he rubbed his aching backside as he got back to his feet. It didn't really hurt, but he reflexively did it anyway.Caleb focused his attention on what the duo was staring at and froze. "You got to be kidding me."He thought the system said it was safe here. How was it safe when he saw a giant plant monster running amok? That was the best way to describe the thing Lisa and Ruth were fighting. Caleb knew f

Caleb stared at the message blankly before saying, "Come again?"[If the user's soul was different, then the user could be sent back home with less difficulty.]"I wouldn't be here in the first place," he cut in brutually. "I remember quite clearly that I was told it was a mistake for me to be brought here."[Then the user will remember another detail that was explained to them for their current form.]His face scrunched up as he said, "Vaguely."[The user had to be turned into a demon rat because there was a copy of the same soul in the same world.]He immediately remembered, in detail, what the system was talking about. Caleb couldn't believe he had forgotten all about it. Apparently, one

Caleb wasn't sure how much time had passed. In the beginning, he had tried to keep track of the days, but he had long since forgotten the exact date he started here. All the days seemed to blend with each other, making it impossible for him to know for sure how long he had been there. That was okay, though. The system would tell him when it was time. He didn't really need to check the date.At least that was what he told himself. More importantly, he had actually picked up a few skills while he waited to hear back from the system. Unfortunately, he was limited in what he could learn because of his relatives. He couldn't just spend money on taking classes and buying supplies, which narrowed down his scope quite a bit.That meant he couldn't take music lessons to somehow become a music prodigy or go to culinary school to become a world renowned chef when he returned. Well, it wasn't like he really cared for those things, but he would have liked to have more options. He did pick up a lot
