Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son-Chapter 4: Baby Ghouls

Aldred stared at the floating screen in front of his face.

[Divine Dimension: Monster Dungeon]

He was tempted to go, but currently, he was just a baby. A six-month-old baby to boot! If he met a goblin or something wouldn't he get eaten? It wasn't like he had a goat to help him fight monsters like some storied he had read.

[Diving Dimension: Monster Dungeon level adjustment…]

[Level Adjusted]

[Monster Dungeon level 1: Baby Ghoul Lair]

Aldred had his jaw dropped. Why did it seem like the screen was trying so hard to push him into the dungeon?

"Let me remind you again. I. AM. A. BABY. Even if the ghoul is a baby too, that is still a FREAKING GHOUL!"

He was a sad and depressed man, but he wouldn't throw himself into the mouth of a ghoul thank you very much.

Reward: 200 EXP

"Jesus fucking christ! How many times do I need to say it. I'm a powerless little baby. What the hell can I do?"

[Demon baby starting kit: Fireball skills]

[Congratulations you have obtained the skill 'Fireball']

[Now you can defeat the Baby Ghoul in the dungeon]

Aldred was speechless right now. The way the system forced him to enter the dungeon was very suspicious.

Now for the question of the day; should he enter or not? He wanted to get some EXP and level up, but he still wasn't sure.

"Ahh, fuck it! It's not like I am the first baby to enter a dungeon before. Hey! System or whatever! Get me into that dungeon!]

Aldred's vision went blank, and then after a single blink, he was inside some kind of dimly lit hallway. The bricks below his hands and knees were dirty and rough, the hallway was tight too, boxed in between a wall, and a few torches on it.

Aldred caught a scent and winced at the strong odor. It was the smell of rotten meat. "Yuck! Disgusting. The landfill smells better than this. Now, where is the baby ghoul?'

At the end of the hallway, there was a shadow that come from the left. The shadow was huge, and it seemed to be eating something. It viciously bit and ripped before chowing it down into its throat.

Uhh… 'I thought the system said the ghoul would be baby-size.'

The shadow turned its head to the side. It felt like it was staring directly at him.

Suddenly, a small ghoul came out of the corner. It looked so similar to a human baby but with a red dot as eyes and then the rest were filled with black.

The baby also had white hair. It slowly crawled towards him.

"Haha. It's just a little baby. I can defeat this."

The ghoul baby opened its lips. "Oshieteyo oshietyo, sono shikumi wo."

Aldred widened his eyes. This was the moment where he knew—

He fucked up.

The baby's back burst open, and nasty red tentacles came out. They gripped the ground and pushed the baby towards him at a flying speed.

'Holy shit!' Aldred panicked. He immediately pointed his palm at the ghoul. "Fireball!"

A ball of flame sparked to life on top of his fingers. Aldred's expression was elated when he saw the fireball. "Nice!"

The fireball then shot upward, blasting the ceiling.

"Crap! It shot from the finger, not the palm!"

Aldred was in a panic and quickly pointed at the ghoul as it flew towards him.

A bright flame sparked at the end of his index finger, he stared at the ghoul. "Fireball!"

The fireball blazed through the air and struck upon the ghoul. The impact blasted the ghoul's chest. It burst with blood, and the baby ghoul fell to the floor.

The ghoul twitched around on the ground, but it still breathe. It also cried in so much pain, not the baby cry type, but the monster cry type. It was such a scary sound.

Aldred raised his index finger and blew the smoke away.

He pointed his finger again and closed one of his eyes to aim. He even pretended to cock his finger like a gun. "Time to die!"

Another fireball blasted the ghoul and it was disintegrated completely.

[+ 30 EXP]

"That's it? I work too hard for this."

[Quest: Kill 3 Baby Ghoul]

Reward: 200 EXP

Completion: 1/3

"Alright, you don't have to remind me. Time to crawl my way into the dungeon."

Aldred crawled through the dark, damp, wet, disgusting, smelly, dimly-lit hallway. It was too much for a baby like him, but he gotta pushed through for some EXP.

A few minutes later, he found two baby ghouls devouring a rotten dog. He also noticed something that he did not realize earlier. The baby ghoul looked so handsome and smooth. If they grew up, Aldred was sure they would be a good-looking guy.

At least, he wasn't ugly anymore. His mother was beautiful, and his father was handsome, so surely, he would grow up with a good face too.

Aldred pointed with his right hand at the baby ghoul on the right. "You're dead."

The fireball shot towards it, but surprisingly it dodged. Well, that was new.

He send more fireballs towards them, and both of them dodged all of his fireballs with tricky movement. The fireball came at their face, then they bend their upper body to slightly missed the fireball.

They ducked, rolled, twisted, turned, doggy style, and backflipped. Their movement was similar to a gymnast but on steroids.

"What in the hell." Aldred couldn't believe none of his fireballs hit. Thankfully, he had the blessing that gave him unlimited mana.

[Limitless Energy]

Aldred laughed. "I can do this all day."

He kept on shooting fireballs for hours until the baby ghoul got tired and their movement slowed down considerably. They were out of breath, chest up and down quickly like they had just run a 200 KM marathon.

But both of them still dodged his fireball. Aldred was enraged. If they could dodge one fireball at a time, then what about two at once.

Aldred smiled with sly. He stood up and plopped his baby bottom on the ground. Raising both of his hands, he pointed both of his index fingers at the ghouls.

"Have you guys heard of dual uzi before?"
