Please call me Cyber ​​Demon King

After making the appointment with Ke Ling, Tanjiro Kamado had no intention of staying any longer and immediately set off with his sister.

But when she reached the doorway, Nezuko Kamado resisted fiercely. She shrank back into the cave and came to Ke Ling's side.

Seeing Nezuko Kamado shrinking to his side to avoid the sunlight, Ke Ling reached out and patted the little girl's head. Nezuko Kamado, who looked aggrieved, did not resist.

This made Ke Ling somewhat emotional. Although the little girl had also been turned into a ghost, she didn't seem to have lost 10 points of charm at all.

So not all of them are available?! Is it really because my talent for being a ghost is too poor?!

Although losing out on the talent for making ghosts is neither a good thing nor a bad thing, Ke Ling was still a little shaken.

"Nezuko, what's wrong with you?"

Tanjiro Kamado scratched his head, somewhat puzzled by his sister Nezuko's reaction.

"Didn't that demon hunter tell you that ghosts can't be exposed to sunlight? Once exposed to sunlight, a ghost will turn to ashes."

Dejected, Ke Ling weakly explained the reason: that demon hunter really hadn't told the child anything.

"Oh! Right! Mr. Tomioka said not to take my sister out in the sun. So that means ghosts are afraid of sunlight!"

Tanjiro Kamado clapped his hands suddenly, finally understanding the meaning of what Giyu Tomioka had said.

When they arrived, the sky was overcast and the clouds were thick in the mountains, so there was no direct sunlight that he didn't even notice it.

"So if you're in a hurry during the day, it's best to find something to completely cover her up."

Ke Ling made a suggestion. He had been thinking about how ghosts could go out during the day, but given his current circumstances, it was indeed difficult to realize those wild ideas.

"I understand!"

Reminded by Ke Ling, Tanjiro Kamado immediately came up with a solution: he could make a box and carry his sister on his back, and she could simply stay inside the box.

This method came from his life experience. Since his father passed away, on days like this when it was not suitable to push a flatbed cart down the mountain, he would carry charcoal down the mountain himself to sell.

Despite his young age, his strength and stamina, honed through chopping wood, carrying charcoal, and hiking mountain trails, are already quite remarkable.

"Mr. Ke Ling, please look after my sister for me. I'll be right back!"

Tanjiro Kamado bowed to Ke Ling and sincerely pleaded, "This child is truly polite."

"No need to be so polite, go ahead."

Ke Ling waved his hand, indicating that he could simply hand over Nezuko Kamado to him.

Without a word, Tanjiro Kamado left the cave immediately, showing no unnecessary worry and full of trust.

You know, Ke Ling's diet contains "ghostly" ingredients, so he's not afraid that his sister will already be in Ke Ling's stomach when he gets back.

However, it's normal for him to have this trust, since if Ke Ling really was that kind of "demon," then Tanjiro Kamado would never have seen his sister and family's complete bodies.

After Tanjiro Kamado left, only Korin and Nezuko Kamado remained in the cave, creating an awkward atmosphere.

The ghost girl with a "gag" in her mouth huddled next to Ke Ling, seemingly trying to use Ke Ling's strong physique to block out the sunlight.

"So your ability to not eat people is something you gained through intelligence?"

After observing the little girl, Ke Ling concluded that she probably only had the intelligence of a toddler.

"If it really turns out like that, it's a bit hard to accept."

Ke Ling sighed. He was a lone star, and without an older brother like Tanjiro Kamado to protect him at all costs, he could only rely on himself.

"That's not right either. Now that I have the [Limit System] to help me, I'm not lacking anything."

Ke Ling is not a self-pitying person; he is optimistic and quickly found his "support," which is much more effective than having an older brother.

"I am back!"

After a while, Tanjiro Kamado returned to the cave, and Koling stopped forging and looked at him.

Tanjiro Kamado carried a basket on his back, which he usually used. He arrived a little late because he had wiped it clean.

After all, this basket is usually used to hold charcoal, and now that it's going to be used to hold Nezuko, it definitely needs to be cleaned beforehand.

"Nezuko, come in and give it a try."

Tanjiro Kamado placed the basket on the ground and directed Nezuko Kamado to go inside. During this time, Nezuko Kamado even demonstrated her ability to freely control the size of her body.

""

Watching Nezuko Kamado transform into a small doll and enter the basket, Ko Ling, who was also a demon, felt that this was unfair. Why didn't he have the ability to freely switch forms?

"Is it really because I'm too bad at being a ghost?"

At this moment, Ke Ling had gradually accepted the fact. It made sense; even the Ghost King had personally confirmed it, so how could it be false?

In fact, Ke Ling knew this too, but he just refused to accept his fate.

But no worries, he has the [Limit System]. No matter how bad his talent is, a simple "System, add points" will solve the problem.

"Mr. Ke Ling, we're leaving now. We look forward to seeing you again."

After putting his sister into the basket, covering it, and covering it with lots of dry grass, Tanjiro Kamado was finally ready to set off.

"Remember my words: no matter what happens, never give up. There are always more solutions than problems."

Ke Ling smiled and brought over another bowl of chicken soup, which Kamado Tanjiro drank in one gulp without hesitation.

“I understand, Mr. Ke Ling.”

Tanjiro Kamado looked serious; he had already deeply understood the significance of those words through his experience with Mr. Koling.

After bowing again, Tanjiro Kamado resolutely turned and left the cave, embarking on his own journey.

"Whoo~~~"

After the Kamado siblings left, Ke Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Nothing unexpected happened during that time. Maybe Tanjiro isn't just "unlucky"?

Of course, it's also possible that they haven't known each other long enough, and the time hasn't yet been right to trigger an unexpected event.

After all, even the "protagonist" needs time to catch their breath; this kid has really had a rough day.

Keep training, and a bright future lies in every drop of sweat!

Ke Ling's brief encounter with the Kamado siblings did not disrupt his plans. Kamado Tanjiro is the protagonist of "Demon Slayer," but he is the protagonist of his own life.

And so, Ke Ling continued training until night, doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run as one set. He had lost count of how many sets he had repeated.

Upon opening the "Personal Page" in the system panel, Ke Ling did not see any changes in the attribute values.

"Perhaps this attribute value doesn't display the numbers after the decimal point."

Ke Ling immediately found a direction for explanation. Although the numerical values ​​had not changed, his body's sensations could not lie to him.

After a day of training, Ke Ling felt that his adaptation to the current physical intensity had skyrocketed. He seemed to be truly adapting to the physical attributes of his "ghostly" state now.

This kind of thing shouldn't be reflected in the attribute values. The training wasn't wasted, it's just that the data doesn't show the effect of the training.

After closing his personal page, Ke Ling checked the world page again. The progress bar for the transmigration was only 10% away, and he would be able to complete the recharge around midnight.

"Wait."

Ke Ling didn't go out and risk his life; he chose to stay in the cave and wait until the energy was fully charged.

Now that he knew that Muzan Kibutsuji might still be wandering around nearby, he definitely needed to make thorough preparations before going out.

If we rush out now and run into Muzan Kibutsuji, we'll truly be trapped with nowhere to go.

Ke Ling calmed down and started training again. Luckily, he used to be a mild fitness enthusiast, otherwise he would have been bored to death here.

Now he trains so hard he doesn't even need any nutritional meals. When he's hungry, he just bites himself. It's incredibly addictive.

As he continued to sweat, time flew by. Ke Ling stopped moving because a pop-up window appeared in front of him.

[Ding! The time travel function has cooled down.]

Ke Ling immediately opened the [World Page], and sure enough, the charging progress bar of the time travel function had reached 100%.

Behind the charging progress bar, a brand new button appeared with only four large characters: "Start Time Travel".

Ke Ling didn't make a decision yet. A new world represents new opportunities, but also new crises.

With his current strength, he lacks the ability to deal with crises, so as long as his current situation is safe, he is not in a hurry to [activate the time travel].

"Finally, I can go out and explore freely."

This time, Ke Ling didn't hesitate. He went straight out of the cave, taking advantage of the deep night to enjoy himself outside for a while.

The snowstorm had completely stopped tonight, making Ke Ling's journey easier than yesterday, which also made it easier for him to find his target.

He had specifically asked Tanjiro Kamado what animals roamed the mountains and forests in winter, and Tanjiro Kamado told him that the most common were snow monkeys, and of course there were also deer and the like.

However, most animals are active during the day, and at night, when it's dark, most animals need to rest.

"Things that can't stand the light of day are truly a sin."

Ke Ling complained that it was bad enough that he could only move around at night, but the key issue was that his night vision hadn't improved much. Luckily, he had a third eye, otherwise he would be too passive at night.

Ke Ling's third eye on her forehead has excellent night vision. Not only at night, but also during the day, it can see farther and in more detail than her original two eyes, with a noticeable difference in resolution.

Of course, apart from this advantage, Ke Ling has not yet discovered any other use for this vertical eye on the forehead.

"But at least it has some special features."

Muttering to himself, Ke Ling slowly made his way to the area where Tanjiro Kamado had mentioned where animals were frequently active.

As a "native" of this mountain, Tanjiro Kamado has a fairly good understanding of the distribution of wild animals in the forest.

Especially since his family has made a living by cutting firewood and making charcoal for generations, this information is the most important part of their lives.

"Shush~~~"

Not long after entering this area, Ke Ling heard some strange noises, proving that the information provided by Kamado Tanjiro was indeed reliable.

Of course, it could also be because the snowstorm has stopped today, and nocturnal animals have started to go out hunting, as they are truly hungry after a day.

"If this were anywhere else, I should have encountered the monsters that are a must-have in the starting village by now, right?"

Ke Ling's vertical eye turned towards the source of the sound. The essential "beginner monster" he was referring to was naturally the "wolf".

Unfortunately, this is Japan, and it's already the Taisho era. Wolves in Japan have already gone extinct!

Ke Ling recalled that he had once seen a news report about Japan researching mechanical wolves to drive away bears, which really stumped him.

Therefore, the "rustling" sound just now could not have been made by a wolf; it was actually just a sneaky little mouse, not even a large animal.

The rat had probably never seen a ghost before and didn't know what kind of creature it was. It was standing there staring blankly at Ke Ling.
