I had been caught roaming around the house all the time and each time I was caught and put back in my room, but that didn't stop me from exploring.

I already did visit the library when I was exploring the upper floor but to my surprise, my father was also in the library and caught me red-handed when I entered.

They didn't imagine I can start climbing stairs so they were quite startled.

They couldn't help get frustrated over my antics. They finally started to be more vigilant and started keeping out an eye on me. So it was really hard to come back into this library.

But today I had successfully infiltrated the library.
My mom's busy in the kitchen and my dad's at the shop. So right now no one can stop me.

It's been more than 6 months since I was born into this world.
The only information that I currently know is that the place where I live was located on the human race domain.

I am about 80 percent sure that this was the human race domain.
There are places where other races co-exist but I haven't seen any other race while visiting the town with my mom and dad. Although other races are welcomed in the human race domain but it's said that humans have a tendency to look down on them.

I don't know if it's true or not. I just heard tidbits when I entered the mortal realm from other people.
But now I am reborn as a human myself. Darn it!

At this moment I am powerless as a human infant.
So I have to wait to grow up until I could at least stand on my two feet before starting to work on getting stronger.

I still haven't forgotten the time I was killed or the way my beloved wife and child died in the hands of the demon generals. Every time I think about it I start to get upset and irritated.

I already mourned enough inside the void but that doesn't mean I don't wanna get back on those traitors.

I am very much anxious to know about my current circumstances.

About how much time has passed since those events?
Are my enemies even alive?
What happened to the demonic realm after my fall?


And many more such endless questions were buzzing in my mind.

So right at this moment, I wanted information more than anything.

If I could only talk, I would directly ask my parents about the information about this world and its current affairs. Although they might get spooked if I just start questioning them about the demonic realm out of the blue.

So instead of waiting for my vocal cords to mature it's better to get information without talking for the time being. And the only best way to procure information is via books.

So I have been scouting inside the house in search of any books to get any information. I have been roaming around the house in search of books, all this time. I had no luck downstairs but what surprised me that we had a library here.

Now after so many hardships and getting caught many times, I finally am here.

After glancing around the library making sure I was alone I hurriedly crawled towards the shelves with my baby limbs.

There were tons of books to choose from and I had no clue where to start. I first sat on the floor in front of the shelves. I swept my gaze around the shelves and saw hordes of neatly stacked books in an orderly fashion. There were all types and sizes of books, from giant thick books to small handy diaries; There was even a pile of scrolls scattered across the shelves.

Still, I would only be able to browse books from the lower shelves.
How can this infant body go pick books on the top shelves?

Not to mention I could merely get crushed if any of those books fell on me.
Former Demon Overlord dies because of being crushed by a couple of books. That would be so lame.
