The Plan and his first Raid

In a world filled with humans, elves, dwarfs, beastkin and even dragonfolk a small army was marching through a forest with all kinds of demons some small humanoids looking like Ben, some succubi and some that were tall and muscular or even some with a body like that of a bull.

This was the world Ben got summoned in currently he is walking lazily on the back making his own plans. A demon summoning normally needs a contract to bind the summoned demon to oneself but lower-ranked demons would obey a higher rank without questioning but what if Ben just sneaks away? Would Ulgon be aware of it? Going back to the Abyss was easy he just has to draw a summoning circle with slight changes and input magic into it. That would also work for humans but what human would be stupid enough to do that it would be as if someone jumps from a bridge to pick up a coin. When Ben got enough souls and ranks up to Low-Rank 2 or 3 and gets magic or uses the system to find a way it won't be a problem to return.

Ben just walked slower and slower and the distance between him and the demon army got bigger and bigger till he just stopped moving.

'they didn't even care!' He sighed.

Some demons saw him getting slower but they didn't care. They may just think something like 'okay then i'm taking your share of souls!' or so.

The army marched North so Ben went to the Northeast to not accidentally meet them again.Ben wanted to harvest many souls for himself so he has to first find a village or a few humans.

This forest or even this world was strange it had many plants and fruits Ben never saw before like red bananas that tasted disgustingly sour or a tree that was just a giant leaf and so Ben kept walking for hours. Suddenly Ben heard rustling leaves so he hid in a bush with orange little leaves and red small berries. As a small furball with a short tail passed by that reminded him of a mouse he wanted to facepalm himself as he also heard a voice.

"Shaia take these flowers! Ahhh noooo with that i sound like an idiot!"

"Hey, you look good in this dress! Do you want to go with me to the village festival? urgh.... "

'What the hell? just send her a dickpic!' Ben scoffed in his thoughts.

He slowly sneaked in the direction of the voice. There stood a young man with a small and chubby figure with short curly brown hair. He stood there trying pick-up lines with his back facing Ben.

'perfect victim' Ben thought. He quietly got closer and closer. Just 2 meters away the most stupid thing happened. He stepped on a twig!

The young man turned around startled and screamed as he saw this red-skinned creature but it was too late. Ben jumped at him and slashed his throat. He fell back right on his ass and hold his neck to try and stop the blood from splattering out like a fountain. Ben slashed again and again and was now covered in the blood of this wannabe Romeo.

The young man fell to the ground not moving anymore as a blue ball of light a little bigger than a tennis ball came out of his chest. Ben instantly devoured it and felt a warm feeling spread through his body coming from his chest. Ben followed a shallow path where he thought the chubby guy came from. Not even 5 minutes off walking he saw a small house or more like a wooden hut with smoke coming out of the chimney.

It was already evening so Ben decided to wait till the sun is completely gone. For a demon, darkness is nothing that would bother them they can see in the dark just fine. When the last sunlight disappears Ben quickly climbed through a window just to find an elderly couple that was easy prey for his claws. When he stole some of their food he also found a short sword that was a little rusty but would do the job for a while. He also visited the other houses 200 meters down the small path and decided to take a nap in the last. But sometimes things don't work out as you think.

Till now he always surprised them while they were cooking, sleeping, or even pooping but the dark-haired man in the last house was sitting in his chair with a knife. When Ben sneaked into the living room the man stared at him with his blue eyes that seemed to glow by reflecting the shine of the candles on the table next to him.

"So it was a demon who was causing the ruckus here! When i was young i was an adventurer and i would never mistake the sound of someone coughing and choking on their blood. Sorry, but you broke into the wrong house this time!"

He said while he got up with a serious facial expression.

He turned around and grabbed the chair, with a quick turn he threw it in Ben's direction. Ben could just barely dodge but the tall and muscular man was already charging at Ben stabbing his stomach.

"AAAAAAAAHHHRGHHH!" He screamed out in surprise and pain!

The Demon grabbed the man's arm and bit it! With a fast and sudden turn, Ben got shaken off ripping out a good piece of the man's meat!

'This is not as i thought it was going to be!' Ben thought with an angry roar directed at the man who grabbed his arm Trying to not scream in pain. Ben noticed that the knife the man had was laying in a puddle of purple and red blood on the ground.

'Now or never!' With this thought, Ben jumped on the man's back slamming his claws in the man's shoulders what made him scream in pain.

Ben bit his neck and ripped a big part out. Coughing and splattering his blood on the walls the man shook wildly to get ben off of him but this wasn't a wound that he could just quickly patch up! And so the man fell to the ground.

Holding the bleeding wound on his stomach he staggered over to the man's body to collect the soul and sat down next to him.

In the end, he got 23 souls which he decided to devour the souls and there it was the nice and warm feeling of his power growing he must have reached the point for his rank up what healed him, made him remarkably stronger, and fall asleep. He immediately checked his status when he woke up what made his jaw drop.

It was still night so he looked out of the window in the starry night sky. 'Another two Rank ups and i will be middle Rank and then i may be able to speak!' He thought cheerfully as he munched on a piece of meat he found in one of the houses. 'I wonder what my brothers are doing right now or my sister. Did she also got reincarnated? Maybe also as a demon?' Ben questioned himself.
