[Explaining & Escape!]

It's been one whole week since I transmigrated.

I've survived an entire week with this woman.

This week was a challenge, even for me, The Demon King.

She was way too touchy; she would pinch my cheeks, play with my tail, cuddle me to sleep.

Don't even get me started on the cuddling; sometimes she would randomly squeeze me in the middle of the night; I almost suffocated once because of her tendencies.

But that was only once; I've been extra vigilant and came up with a temporary solution.

I call it: [Rest & Recovery]

It relaxes the body, easing all built-up tension; whether it would be a cramp or tension in muscle fibers. It did it all. But that wasn't everything yet: once the entire body relaxed, phase two would begin and hasten recovery on a molecular level. Each and every cell would benefit and become much richer in quality.

I know, I know. I'm a genius.

You may be thinking: There must be a downside to this right! What's the catch?

Hahahaha...Well, what if I told you there is no catch?

... at least I wish there was none.

Anyways...

There is one problem with this: energy!

Since coming here, I've noticed that the energy I used back in my world didn't exist here. Gee, what a surprise!

You can't see it, but I'm dejectedly shaking my head right now.

Well, since the energy I used in my last world doesn't exist in this world, I just thought, fuck it!

I started recreating it from scratch!

What d'you expect? Me, abiding by the rules of this world? You're a funny guy, I tell you.

Hmmm... How should I even go about explaining how I recreated it.

Simply put: I just took apart all the different energies in this world and reconstructed my own unique energy from them.

But there are 2 major flaws in this foreign energy of mine;

One, I can't naturally recover energy; I have to keep doing this process of disassembling and reassembling energy for me to recover.

The second flaw—ehhh, it more like a temporary flaw, but it's still a flaw at the end of the day; you'll get what I mean when I finish explaining what it is—I can't store a lot of it: which means I have to manually recover very, very often: but this is only because my baby body can only hold so little, any more and I'd literally die.

You get what I mean?

So... to bring this full circle.

[Rest & Recovery]

This drained almost all of my power, and recovering is a pain in the ass too.

"Little pup!... Where's my little pup?... Its BEDTIME." Little pup's mom sweetly cooed.

Walking on her tippy toes, she looking around excitedly for her pup.

In her mind, they were playing a game of hide & seek; but the same couldn't be said for her little pup.

She looked around the kitchen area; under the dining table, inside the lower cabinets, checking inside the oven; "Where are you~?" She sweetly spoke, giving the whole kitchen one last sweep with her eyes.

The little pup in question was busy hiding under the bed.

The Demon King was planning to sneakily escape tonight. He was serious in his decision to leave the nest, even though he was only a week old.

'I've experienced enough; now, before I become emotionally attached, I must go MIA.'

Throughout this week, he's been keenly observant; looking for possible escape routes.

They lived in a small apartment on the second floor; 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom. There were three different rooms in total; the bathroom and bedroom took up 2/3 of them, but there was also another much bigger room. The joint living room + kitchen.

'She should be checking the living room right now. Which mean... I have about a minute or so to make my escape.'

He crawled out from under the bed and started effectively making his escape.

His arms and legs glowed as a black formless energy enveloped them. He placed both his hands on the bed frame and used it as support to get on his feet.

Looking up, he could tell getting on top of the bed would be like trying to scale a tall wall in his small form.

A smirk formed on his face as he did the impossible; using his legs, he jumped up off the ground as he used his arms to give an extra push mid-air; his small form flipped forwards as his feet made landing on top of the bed, soon followed by his hands.

An absolute 10/10 flip!!!

The smirk on his face grew into a full-blown smile; he couldn't hide it, that was epic.

Making his way up the bed, towards the pillows. The next obstacle appeared, the bedframe.

There was a window directly above the bed, it was huge, and had curtains covering it during the day. The window was broken up into three pieces, the left side, the right side, and a semi-circle at the top.

Tonight, the curtains were being washed, and the right side of the window was open to circulate fresh air.

He would take advantage of this open window to make his escape outside. It was a flawless plan.

As he crawled his way up the bed, he pushed the pillows aside. The tall bed frame was the only thing separating him from the open window. He would need to climb up the bed frame and make it on the window ledge.

He started using his energy once again; covering his entire body this time.

Placing his hands firmly on to the meter tall bed frame, he started to scale the 90° wall; like glue, his body stuck to the bed frame as he crawled up as fast as he could.

Mission Accomplished!!!!

He skillfully climbed up the bed frame and made it to the window ledge; only one obstacle left.

His heart was beating like a war drum. Looking back towards the door; it was oddly quiet.

'It doesn't matter, I gotta escape first; I'm almost there!'

He turned his attention back to the open window.

Outside the window was a sight to behold; there were tall brick buildings in the distance, strange vehicles on the roads, tall towers erect with wires connecting them. Red, green, yellow, and orange lights brightly filled the view as it painted a lively atmosphere. People roamed the streets as they share laughs and smiles with one another. There were all kinds of people, no, they were all Demi-humans. Some had scales, some had fur, some had feathers, but they all seem to get along. It was a beautiful scene.

"Found you!"

The voice came from behind him as the door burst open.

He panicked and slipped, causing him to fall out the window.

'FML'

Seeing her baby fall out the window, she raced forward without a second thought. Leaping for the window she magically transformed into a fox mid-air.

Falling after her little pup, she dived forward to reach him.

Thankfully, she bites a hold of his diaper. Landing on the ground, she made sure that her pup didn't get hurt; checking all over, before finally calming down.

"That was dangerous! I should have closed the window. Mama will make sure this will never happen again! I promise."

'So close! Yet so far away!'
