The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

The enemy of humanity, a being more detestable than a rat crossing the street.

"It seems I won't be able to go back to the human realm to see my friends for the time being. I wonder how they are doing."

If she wants to go back to the human race to see her friends, it's definitely not possible for her in her current status, unless she can draw a [Transformation Card], a card that can change her race.

But... becoming a demon is fine, why did they disarm me? There aren't any gender-swapped cards in the gacha pool... I don't know how I'm going to face them in the future.

Thinking of this, Chloe couldn't help but feel a phantom limb pain.

……

Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Somewhere in the forest, Chloe was practicing her swordsmanship in the sunlight.

As for why she, a demon naturally suited to magic cultivation, would choose to practice swordsmanship...

Just kidding! When she was a hero, she was a sword saint... Although it was a cheat code given to her by the system, it's not impossible for her to return to her peak.

Okay, actually, her magical talent is really terrible... she's a disgrace to the demon race.

Fortunately, her new body's swordsmanship talent was quite outstanding. Without the system's assistance, she was able to use most of her predecessor's swordsmanship skills after only half a year of training.

Although he is far from reaching the level of a Sword Saint, he can still easily defeat low-level monsters.

"I'm almost done saving up."

After finishing her daily workout, Chloe habitually opened the gacha interface to check her remaining points and discovered that after more than half a year, she finally had almost enough points for a ten-pull.

[Remaining points: 999]

As for why she saved up the points for this ten-pull over half a year, it wasn't because she became lazy during that time. Rather, now that she was in human form, she couldn't possibly be like a blade of grass, constantly photosynthesizing like she was a year ago.

Every day, exercising, eating, bathing with Lulum, sleeping with Lulum, and learning magic with Lulum all take up a lot of time.

In addition, because she is probably a newborn, she cannot actively absorb the essence of plants like Lulumu can. She needs Lulumu to feed her the essence regularly to maintain her energy. Therefore, the time she can absorb sunlight for photosynthesis each day is very short.

Although most of the time she can do other things while photosynthesizing, just like exercising... well, she admits she's a lazy dog.

There's nothing she can do about it; Lulum spoils her so much. If she weren't planning to visit her friends, she'd be spending all her time with Lulum, why would she need to train? Besides, she's only a six-month-old baby, so it's normal for her to be a little spoiled, right?

At this rate, she felt like Lulum was turning her into a useless person.

Looking at the card-drawing page, Chloe swallowed hard, her expression gradually becoming blank.

Chloe, you can't keep being so lazy. If you work a little harder today, you can get a ten-pull... Then you can defy fate and turn your daughter around to "pay homage" to Lulum.

Thinking of this, she swallowed again.

"Chloe, come home for dinner!"

"Come on, come on."

I've already touched it. Anyway, I have plenty of time now, I'll deal with it tomorrow.

Upon receiving Lulum's message inviting her home for dinner, Chloe immediately ran back, completely forgetting her earlier "unfilial" thoughts.

……

What's meant to happen will happen eventually, and the next day, Chloe had accumulated enough points.

[Do you want to do a 10-pull for items? It will cost 1000 points.]

【Yes】

"Golden light, golden light, golden light! I'd love for a holy sword, a magic sword, a Gatling gun, a fighting magic RPG, and the cards should ideally have a transformation or something..." Chloe muttered to herself as she drew cards.

With a flash of white light... Chloe was surrounded by several small red flowers, a peach, a potato, and a brick.

They're all classic, stylish junk items; there's not even a beginner's longsword.

"Damn! The gacha system is malfunctioning too!" Chloe thought to herself, looking at the few pieces of junk that had appeared around her.

In the past, when she drew cards, even if she didn't get a card, she would still get some weapons or accessories. Although she might not be able to use them, at least it didn't seem like a loss.

Now they're even releasing little red flowers and food... and the little red flowers are actually stickers, something Chloe never expected.

But then she suddenly remembered that she didn't get any junk items on her first ten-pull. Does this mean things are getting better?

Fortunately, besides the guaranteed upgrade card, she also got a card; otherwise, this ten-pull would have been a huge loss.

【Treasure Hunt Card】

[Item Description: Guides the user to the nearest treasure.]

"?" Chloe looked at the card and slowly typed a question mark in her mind.

Why is it still a gambling card?

This is a fairly common card; she has used this card more than once before.

Well, this card, if you're lucky, you might find some good stuff, but most likely... it'll lead you to a museum.

Who can blame them when museums are packed with treasures? That's just how it is.

"Well, it's better than the guaranteed minimum. I'll use the [Upgrade Card] and [Treasure Hunt Card]."

Upgrade successful, current level 13

[Treasure Hunt Card successfully used; treasure location marked.]

"Luckily, we actually found it..."

Chloe sensed the location of the guide; it was somewhere deep in the forest, not particularly far.

In such a deserted place, it's probably a good thing that's unclaimed, right?

Surely there can't be a museum deep in the forest, right?

Chapter Five: What kind of integrity is that? He's just a child!

Chloe's broken system actually had other ways to earn points besides spending real money.

One method is to earn reward points by completing system tasks.

However, the task module is broken.

The second method is to absorb various forms of energy and convert them into points.

For example, she possesses elements like fighting spirit, magic, or the energy within life and soul. Furthermore, after transforming into a blade of grass, she successfully unlocked solar energy and other such abilities.

The energy contained in life and soul is the fastest way to earn points, because as long as she kills high-level magical beasts and demons, the system assistant will help her convert that energy into points.

Simply put, it's a kill reward.

However, the system assistant also broke down.

Although Chloe was certain that the system assistant still existed within the system, with that function now broken, Chloe couldn't get the kill rewards at all.

Therefore, if she wants to quickly gain points, she can only do so by spending real money.

However, if you want to spend money on in-game purchases, you must first earn money.

As things stand, if Chloe wants to earn money, she'll have to rely on her body...

So she decided to follow the guidance of the [Treasure Hunt Card] to find the so-called treasure.

After all, the treasures that can be found with a treasure-hunting card are at least a ten-pull in one go.

What if you manage to change your fate with just one 10-pull?

Furthermore, Chloe sensed from the guidance of the [Treasure Hunt Card] that the treasure's location was only about 7 or 8 kilometers from her home, which wasn't too far.

"Should we be able to make a round trip before dinner? Should we go now?"

Chloe checked the time and looked in the direction of the treasure, clearly deep in thought.

Finally, she made up her mind...

Let’s talk tomorrow.

You know, she's a good "child," so how could she run around without telling Lulu?

More importantly, she might encounter some strange older sister on her treasure hunt, and what if she gets kidnapped? Even if there's no strange older sister, what if she encounters a magical beast? After all, she's just a fragile little succubus, less than a year old...

Instead of going treasure hunting alone, why not go home and bring Lulum with you?

The forest where she and Lulum lived actually had a name: Star Forest. It was known for its abundance of high-level magical beasts, and there were even rumors that two super magical beasts, comparable to sword saints and magic gods, existed in the core area of ​​the forest.

Therefore, this forest became a natural barrier separating humans and demons, and neither humans nor demons would want to venture deep into this forest.

This is also one of the reasons why she, as the hero Li Wen, fought the Demon King in this forest.

Although Chloe knew that her and Lulum's home wasn't located particularly deep within the Star Forest, but rather on the outer edge of the inner circle, if they continued deeper towards the treasure, they might encounter some high-level magical beasts.

Although Chloe didn't think there were any magical beasts nearby that could threaten her, if she were really unlucky enough to encounter one... she would probably be beaten to a pulp.

Rather than getting beaten up and crying for your mother later, it's better to bring Lulum along from the start.

After all, as a noble-level demon, normal magical beasts wouldn't want to get close to Lulum, so their journey to the treasure location was essentially just a picnic.

If she wants Lulum to go out with her, she'll have to use some tricks...

……

"Want to go out and have some fun? Sure! Where does Chloe want to go this time?"

Seeing Chloe running into his arms and snuggling as soon as she got home, Lulum smiled and stroked her cute little head, speaking gently.

"Great!"

Chloe, who had buried her head in Lulum's belly, made a sweet, childlike voice, sounding very happy.

However, Lulum couldn't see her smug expression.

Sure enough, as long as I act cute, even Lulu, who doesn't really like going out during the day, will obediently go out with me.

This is the little trick Chloe mentioned before – the cuteness tactic.

During the six months that Chloe lived with Lulum, for some reason, Lulum would never step out of the house during the day unless she needed to consume the essence of plants. Moreover, she would spend her days reading magic books that Chloe couldn't understand, much like a reclusive librarian in the countryside.

However, whenever Chloe acts cute and charming towards Lulum, Lulum will accompany her for a stroll.

He could even accompany Chloe to stroll around the towns on the human border.

Lulum is, after all, a succubus proficient in mental magic. Taking Chloe disguised as an ordinary person and strolling around a small border town is a simple matter for her.

Of course, Chloe explained to Lulum that this trip wasn't for fun, but for treasure hunting.

After all, there's nothing to hide about the treasure hunt; it's just that Chloe didn't mention the system or the cards.

She just felt that something in the treasure trove was calling to her.

Lulum didn't pay attention to the details either.

……

The next day, Chloe's original plan was to leave home early with Lulum, intending to go early and return early.

Unfortunately, due to Lulum's strange biological clock, they didn't leave home until the afternoon.

However, they hadn't gone halfway when Lulum grabbed Chloe's sleeve and said, slightly out of breath:

"Chloe, can you slow down a bit? I'm a little tired."

Perhaps because Chloe exercises regularly and is eager to find treasure, she walks much faster than usual, making it difficult for Lulum to keep up with her.

This is the first time in the past six months that Chloe has discovered... that Lulum, a noble-level demon, really only has the physical abilities of a shut-in.

Oh, Lulum is a magic-based class? That's alright then.

Wait, I seem to remember Lulum being able to fly? Wait, maybe I can… Chloe, who had her back to Lulum, suddenly revealed a strange smile.

She came up with a fun idea...

"Lulu, you look tired. Do you want me to carry you?" Chloe asked Lulu, who was slightly out of breath, with an innocent expression.

"Eh? But what if a six-month-old baby is carrying you..." Lulum imagined herself being carried by Chloe, who was a head shorter than her, and said with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Lulu, don't be shy. You didn't treat me like a child when you were feeding me." Chloe saw through Lulum's dilemma at a glance, so she pouted and said in a deliberately resentful tone.

After hearing what Chloe said, Lulum seemed to think of her daily "routine," and her face became even rosier.

"There's nothing we can do, you're still too young to feed yourself." Hearing Chloe's words, Lulum became even more flustered.

Although she knew that it wasn't usually necessary, Lulu couldn't control herself... It can only be said that Chloe's talent as a succubus was too strong.
