Custom Made Demon King

Chapter 10: Territorial Awareness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Originally, Roy’s arrow tail gave him the feeling of weakness and helplessness, and his tail often hurt because of his lack of subconscious self-protection.

However, it was all different now. A feeling of ‘power coming from the tail’ grew from within...

Knowing that his modification was complete, Roy felt a sudden elation. He listened to the clicking of the tail vertebrae and brought the savage-looking tail into view.

It moved according to his will, and there was not the slightest stagnation nor delay. It was indeed a part of his body!

Roy appreciated his work with great satisfaction. Perhaps it was because it matched his current body shape, but the stoutness of his tail had reduced. Now, it looked more reasonable and harmonious, matching Roy’s dark-red skin. And due to Roy’s definitions, this dark-red color glowed like a gem, and the hardness of his tail far surpassed his imagination. Moreover, the red glow flowed along his tail every time he shook it, as though flames were flowing on it!

The three blades on the tip of his tail operated as he willed. The strangest thing was when Roy flicked his tail hard, the speed at which the three blades cut the air actually brought about a terrible roar!

Roy looked around and suddenly launched his tail to shoot at the inside of the tree hole. The next moment, it pierced through the half-meter thick tree trunk!

He was surprised to find that the range of his tail actually exceeded its length. This was due to the gap between the joints of the tail. When it fully extended, the joints could stretch like a spring, causing its range to extend. This benefit in combat was naturally self-evident. Any enemy that tried to estimate his attack range by sight would definitely regret it!

Roy was extremely satisfied. He knew that the stoutness of his tail would increase with his growth and make a very useful weapon.

He opened the system interface and found that not only did his image within it change, but even his attributes had changed. Strength and speed increased by more than five points!

Roy’s strength was now twenty-one, and speed was eighteen. This felt strange to Roy. Why did the modification cause my attributes to increase?

After studying it, he vaguely guessed that the muscles in his body might have strengthened to adapt to this tail. After all, a body was a whole for any living creature, and a slight movement in one part would affect it in its entirety.

Roy tested his body and found that this was indeed the case. The biggest changes were the muscles around his waist and thighs, strengthened for him to use his tail better.

This made Roy sigh. This customization system was really idiot-proof and automatically filled in the gaps that he overlooked.

He stretched his hand to touch his back and found that the bones on his spine had also risen. The blade-like bone fins made Roy’s overall image more terrifying, but it also meant that Roy could forget about sleeping on his back from now on...

After discovering this, Roy was speechless.

Thinking about sleep made Roy realize that he was sleepy.

He had not actually slept much over the past week. The sense of crisis that haunted him since he arrived in an unfamiliar environment had not disappeared. How was Roy supposed to sleep in such circumstances? In addition, the demon body gave him a lot of energy, so he basically spent his time awake, either hunting, drawing modification materials, or spending time exploring around his residence. There was not an idle moment.

Up until now, when he finally finished his first modification and felt his strength increase, becoming more powerful, bringing him a strong sense of security. After relaxing a bit, sleepiness began to strike him.

Even so, Roy did not rush to sleep. He first removed the remainder of the monsters he ate just now from his cave, dispelled the smell of blood from it, and then covered the cave up with leaves and stone. He put a strange-looking fruit down only after he felt like everything was in order, and then he found a comfortable posture on the ground and closed his eyes.

He did not know why, but Roy felt like he might sleep for a long time, which was why he did so much preparation work.

...

In this underground world, there was no difference between day and night. Roy woke up from his deep slumber after an unknown amount of time passed.

He stretched and listened to the sound of his cracking bones all over his body, feeling very comfortable.

Roy found that he seemed to have grown taller. Even his palm was visibly bigger than before he fell asleep.

How long did I sleep? Roy looked puzzledly at the strange-looking fruit he had placed before he slept and found that the fruit had long rotted away.

This level of decay requires at least two months? In that case, did I sleep for two whole months?

Roy did not possess a timekeeping tool, so he could only keep track of time this way. Of course, there were discrepancies this way, but Roy did not need to be precise. Anyway, as a demon, time no longer held any meaning to him.

He did not need to care about heading to work...

It’s okay if it was two months. Wasn’t too long. Roy’s greatest worry was for a demon’s slumber to be the same as the dragons in novels that slept for years on end. If that happened, he would lose his energy and become lazy.

The reason why he was worried about becoming lazy was the fact that he was a typical Gemini. He was active and greedy for fresh things. After his crisis of survival faded away, his curiosity started to surface. To him, since he had accepted his identity as a demon, he needed to understand more about this Demon World.

Simply put, Roy wanted to head out and explore. He did not like being stuck in a place for too long, and he felt that he would go crazy if he really had to sleep for years like dragons.

Roy found that his current height seemed to have exceeded 1.2 meters by visual estimation. He was happy, but the sound of rumbling in his stomach reminded him that it was time to find food.

He went to the entrance of the tree and listened to the sounds outside. After finding nothing out of the ordinary, he removed the stone that he had used to block the entrance and walked out.

However, when he emerged, he realized in shock that a white spiderweb had occupied near his cave!

Of course, he knew that there was a group of spiders not far away. Therefore, he was careful not to alarm them every time he headed back to the cave. However, what Roy did not expect was that in just two months, these spiders had expanded their hunting range to his residence!

I almost ran into a spiderweb just as I went out. How is this okay?! Roy nearly blew up. How can I allow outsiders to sleep beside my bed? Even humans have territorial awareness, let alone demons.

Therefore, Roy made his first decision after waking up—killing all these damned demon spiders that had occupied his territory...
