I was Once the Demon King!
Chapter 1: The True Predator

Chapter 1: The True Predator

A new life from humble beginnings. A cozy home in the countryside. Fields of crops could be seen as far as the eye can see. An old sword hung over the fireplace, a memento from his youth as an adventurer. Now retired, the ex-adventurer lives in peace and harmony with their newly born son….

“Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy?”

“Ah!”

“Kayhhh! So cute!”

Nobiru was not amused with his situation. It was a complete fall from grace. A once powerful and handsome Demon King, with an army(harem) of 100,000 soldier… was now nothing more than a brat! He contemplated suicide many times over, but what were the odds of being reborn as a Demon King? Very unlikely. He made peace with his dilemma and decided he’ll make due with a human body.

(I may no longer be a Demon King but a man can still dream (of a harem)…)

“Okay~ Time to eat~”

*Bo-ing*

He may be a child, but he still had the lust of a man! No. The lust of a Demon King!

“Huhuhu. He’s just like his father. Look at his serious face~”

“...Huh? Did you say something?”

“Seriously? I really hope he doesn’t grow up to be as stupid as you.”

“H-hey! My brain might not be big, but I’m big where it counts!”

“...pervert.”

“Huh?! I’m talking about my heart! My heart!”

“Ah! Ah!”

“Oh sorry honey~ say ah~”

*Nom*

Nobiru, the ex-Demon King, had no problems fitting in as a human. Though the language and customs were different compared to his previous life, to him, “humans” were still “humans”. Thanks to the knowledge of his previous life, Nobiru manage to walk and talk much quicker than the average child. During the day, Nobiru’s parents took him to play with the other kids in the village….

“Hey, pay attention brats!”

“Uo…”

“Ah…”

“I need your focus!”

“Ehehehe”

“Focus people!”

“Ja!”

“...”

Nobiru, the self proclaimed leader of the brats! His eyes glisten as he looked up towards the table. A display of delectable treats that would make one’s lips wet with pleasure…

“We toil day in and day out, to be punished(fed) with hatred(bland food). I refuse to take it any more! We deserve love(food)! We deserve kindness(good food)! And above all, we deserve respect(very good food)! Who’s with me?!”

“Wahhhhhh!”

“Eh?!”

“Wahhhhhh!”

“Mutiny!”

“Beuff, the babies are crying!”

“Alright, I got it.”

An elder male walked in the room to check the situation...

“I don’t see any problems, maybe they’re hungry?”

“That’s impossible, I just fed them an hour ago!”

“Well... their diapers are clean….”

Beuff looked around to see Nobiru staring straight at him.

“...this baby’s face isn’t cute at all…”

A face of a devil! Nobiru couldn’t help it. Whenever he sees competition, his alpha-male instincts kick in!

“Here Beuff, let me help you out.”

“Wahhhhhhh!”

“Oh, cute Nobiru is crying too? Come here darling~”

“Hey Marlene, did you see the change in his expression?!”

“Who?”

“Him! Nobiru!”

“...? I don’t know what you’re talking about Beuff.”

Marlene placed Nobiru over her shoulder as she patted his back.

“There! His face! Look!”

“Hm? What are you talking about Beuff! Stop bullying Nobiru, he’s just a baby!”

“But Marlene, I swear, he looks at me with such evil eyes!”

“Well, maybe it’s because you’re mean to him! Look at his face, he’s adorable~”

“...”

(Muwhahaha. You dare challenge me mortal? Take this!)

“Hehehe~ Oh Nobiru! There’s no milk there~ Silly baby.”

“Ugh!”

“Beuff, quit playing around. I’ll take care of the babies. You go clean the sheets.”

“Arg… okay....”

Beuff left with his shoulders hunched and his spirit broken.

(Heh. These humans are weak! They’re nothing compare to my ultimate techniques!)

After the waterworks died down, Nobiru made sure the coast was clear.

(Okay, back to the plan.)

The table was out of reach, but if he could get up on one of the chairs…

“I need a volunteer!”

“Va!”

“...”

(These babies are stupid! Looks like I need to do this on my own!)

Nobiru scouted the group to find the dumbest looking baby. In the corner of the room was the youngest of the group, Remi! She was very reserved, quiet, and had a dumb expression on her face!

“The perfect sacrifice!”

Nobiru stood face to face with Remi.

“Your life will not be in vain”

“...”

A light shove toppled Remi over. She fell on her back, flailing her arms in the air like a turtle. After a moment she looked at Nobiru with a blush and sparkling eyes. It caught Nobiru off guard!

“...S-stay focus soldier! We’re not here to have fun!”

Nobiru rolled her along her side until she stopped against the chair.

*Giggle*

Using her body as a stepping stone, he made his way up the chair and onto the table. At this point, all the other babies were focused on Nobiru. They were captivated!

“Muwhahaha! All the sweets are mine!”

*Nom*

Captivation quickly turn into jealousy as all the babies started to drool. Looking down, Nobiru felt no sympathy.

(You little turds are useless! You get nothing!)

However, Nobiru couldn’t help but notice one more person. Remi. She had her thumb in her mouth while watching Nobiru with a strong gaze.

“...I guess it can’t be helped.”

Taking an arm full of sweets, he hopped down from the table to rendezvou with Remi.

*Giggle*

He held out his hand with some sweets, but she only stared at him with impressed eyes.

"..."

(Just take it already! You’re making this awkward.)

*Nom*

Warm and wet. A tingling sensation ran down his spine. Her soft and delicate tongue wrapped around his tips!

“Eeek!”

Nobiru pulled out quickly.

“Y-you monster! How can you do that with such an innocent smile?!”

*Giggle*

Nobiru was flustered. A preemptive attack that caught him off guard! He wasn’t expecting someone her age to hold such advanced techniques.

"..."

(Clearly humans in this world are more evolved…)

That day, Nobiru learned a valuable lesson.... never underestimate humans!
