Lucas was confused as he felt his senses slowly come back and found himself rolled up into a very tight space.

  “Shit… she stuffed me in an egg.” he cursed and sighed, “Who ever heard of starting as an infant in a VR game?” he thought.

  He knew he was in that egg he saw but where he was currently was unknown. He began to try and feel his surroundings, what he found was that he had no legs, no claws, fingers or anything resembling a human besides two fingerless arms which had the elbow joint and wrist joint but his hand was unformed. He also found he had a bit head and moving it about he felt he had two hard objects on his head.

  “I need to get out.” he thought but since he didn’t have barely any strength or natural weapons he decided to try to use his horns. He was in an awkward position so he could only use his tail to push and make a small movement.

  Thump!

  The sound was actually louder then expected but it didn’t do much. He kept doing that until he felt tired but he did start feeling cracks.

  Crack!

  After resting he started to hit again until his right horn finally formed a sizable crack.

  At that time, fresh air entered the egg.

  “AHH! MY NOSE! WHAT IS THIS STINK!?” he cursed as a wretched stench entered his nose as the ‘fresh’ air entered the shell.

  Of course the new air fueled his body and his next hit caused the crack to expand making more of the horrid air enter. He spent close to an hour after that to finally break a bit enough hole to slid out. His eyes were hurting from the change in lighting but as he grew accustomed, his eyes opened and was able to look around.

  What he found was that edge of a small boiling lake of some kind of material. As he looked around, he found that around him were other creatures. Five of them to be exact.

  They were all skinny and had red skin and big disproportioned heads.

  As he was looking a screen appeared.

  Lucas read all this and frowned, he turned his head a bit before he felt his horns feel a tug and looked towards a lit up side of the sky. This was a slight tug that the system placed to guide him but he frowned, “I don’t want to be an evil Demon Lord.” He said and turned to one of the demons, “Pick me up.” he said. His voice was developed but high pitched. The demon walked over and picked him up roughly, “No! Don’t pull my tail, carry me in both hands!” he said and pulled his tail out as best he could and the demon slowly modified it's form and carried him like a baby.

  He waited a while and soon he felt a weaker tug coming from the opposite direction from the badlands, it headed towards a range of mountains. There was no way around it because the badlands were completely surrounded by them on all sides. “You all, we are going that way.” He said and the demons began to walk the way he said.

  Suddenly a status window opened up.

  Looking at the stats, he cringed and looked at the demons and their pitiful frames and realized it wasn’t far off. In fact, his status was even worse.

  Lucas trembled when he saw his own stats. He was used to the common 10 base stat board. He had never see 0 in the status table before. It left him with an incomprehensible feeling of depression.

  “Skills!” Lucas thought.

  Seeing the five skills, he was surprised to see a sealed skill. That said, after reading the skill description he understood the skills. They were the most basic kinds of skills and had nothing to do with his class. What made it worse is that knowing his minions were mindless, he couldn’t do things that were too complicated.

  As the screen vanished, 100 meters away, a light flashed and a large dog sized hare appeared and stood up on its hind legs looking around. It dropped down and walked around randomly.

  Looking at the tutorial that was first, he wasn’t really content but he knew this was needed all the same.

  “Put me down.” he said and the stupid demon literally dropped him making him groan, he was already dreaming of the day he could walk himself.

  After slowly trying to fix himself up and using his tail like snakes did, in this case curling up to form a small support for his upper body, he looked at his minions.

  There was absolutely no difference among them and he sighed. “You three, find small stones that fit in your hands. You two look for larger heavy stones that you need two hands to lift. Then bring them back and make a small pile of both.” he ordered the five minions. They spread out under his commands. The one that gathered small rocks gathered them faster and could hold ten stones because each stone was 1 kilo each but they were all rocks that fit in their hand just right and could be thrown.

  Soon the other two arrived with a large rock that was 5 kilos each.

  “Alright, you three carry 10 rocks and come this way. You two follow while carrying those two rocks.

  Uncurling his body and literally crawling like a baby, he made them follow until they were 20 meters. The Badlands Hare suddenly noticed them and dropped down, its figure suddenly became more savage, the hair spiked out and it began to snarl revealing the fangs and short claws formed on its paws.

  “You two with the big rock, go and use it to smash them, you three, toss those rocks but try to not hit your allies!” he ordered.

  The demons began to run after hearing his orders. The three rock throwers dropped the rocks and grabbed just two in their hands and began to throw them at the hare and the other two ran with the rocks.

  “GRRRYAA!” the two shouted as they lifted the rocks in a smashing motion.

  When the first rocks hit the hare, an HP bar appeared with 19/20 showing. The rocks only took 1 damage but other rocks began to pelt down. It snarled and began to punch at the incoming rocks and ran, at the same speed as the demons, towards the incoming enemy.

  It growled and opened its jaws and jumped to attack the heads.

  “One of you throw the rocks!” Lucas shouted. Suddenly the left demon tossed the 5 kilo stone which hit right in the face of the hare stunning it after taking 6 damage, which was a critical for hitting a weak point. “Now smash it!” Lucas ordered.

  “GYRA!” the other demon shouted and smashed down the stone reducing the hp bar to 8. At that time, the two suddenly attacked with their claws and in the matter of moments the hp drained.

  A tiny blue flame came out of the dead hare and entered the right demon.

  The body of the hare suddenly lit up and turned into a small old wooden box.

  Lucas crawled over to the box and ordered one of the demons to open it and take the items out.

  What was pulled out was a pelt and several bones from the rabbit and a small glowing orb.

  Lucas thought the word and a screen appeared.

  He pressed the craft system and it opened to hand crafting, tailoring and other hand based crafts or material preparation processes but these needed tools like leather making.

  He pressed the only available option.

  Lucas’s jaw dropped when he saw the two items. He really had no idea what he should feel about this but just sighed and pressed the baby carry bag.

  The pelt began to glow and float until it became a ball of light. As the light faded, the pelt appeared having changed into a carry bag. He pressed to make the bone meal and the bones they had began to float until it turned into a pile of ground bone, strangely in a clay bowl.

  Seeing the two item information, he sighed, he pointed to one of the demons. “Put this on and help me into it.” he said.

  The demon, with the help of the equipment system, put the bag on and put Lucas inside.

  He was comfortably in the bag with his head out. He then looked at the demon who got the last hit. “You, eat the bone meal.” he said.

  It licked it’s lips and and attacked the bowl. When it finished, its body began to crack and its body became a bit taller and the bones thickened a bit.

  The transformation was shocking but he finally understood how this game worked a bit more. The stats actually slightly altered the physical appearance. It was unknown how long it did that but it was sure that for the first few points it will alter them and maybe even the class would as well.

  Seeing what it said, he sighed as he now knew he was not limited but seeing that there were protectors of the springs was annoying.

  He decided to search around first see what the first spring is like since it was the only tug he felt and from there he would search around and see what he would do.
