The Demon King Is Obsessed with Raising Kids

The great demon king Yi Ling transmigrated to a world millions of years in the future.

After growing up wild in this far-future world for eighteen years, the great demon king was suddenly told that he was the real young master of a wealthy family, lost outside the household.

But his biological parents didn't seem keen to acknowledge him, and his adoptive younger brother was a white lotus through and through.

Biological parents: You're useless, a complete waste. Don't even think about inheriting the family fortune!

Adoptive younger brother: Big Brother, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. If only you had some talent.

Fine, then. The despised great demon king packed his things and left of his own accord, finding a random job online.

His new job was raising little ones.

The little ones were fluffy, and the great demon king settled into a happy life surrounded by softness.

But as he raised them, he started noticing something was off.

Why did that wolf cub look more and more like his contracted beast from his previous life? And why did it keep rubbing against him for no reason?

And why had the other little ones turned out to be an elf king, a merfolk prince, a rich family's foolish son, and all sorts of other strange identities?

Even the silly wolf that kept rubbing against him had transformed into a gloomy, antisocial big shot whose name must not be spoken, who was always trying to destroy the world and feared by countless people?!

Yi Ling: I really just want to live an ordinary life. Do you believe me when I say that?

His biological parents, who felt like they'd lost hundreds of billions: ...

His white-lotus younger brother and the other troublemaking villains: Like hell we do!

Yule was a monster. He could not die. Ever since he could remember, he had been searching for someone very important to him. Without that person, Yule's world held nothing but loneliness.

But no matter how hard he searched, Yule couldn't find them.

Yule was frustrated and bored, but misfortune seemed to favor him. Born a demi-human, he was rejected by his family. His parents hated him, and his siblings bullied him.

But it didn't matter. Yule fought back, and he won. So those people began to fear him.

From beginning to end, Yule could only sit by himself, all alone.

His world held nothing but loneliness.

Yule tried to destroy the world, but when he thought that person might exist somewhere in it, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Yule tried to kill himself, but in the end he only returned to his infancy, losing all his memories.

Turned back into a cub, Yule arrived at a shelter. This time, luck finally smiled on him.

He found the person he'd been searching for all along.

In that instant, Yule's world lit up.

Bonus scene:

Many, many years later.

The gloomy, antisocial big shot whose name must not be spoken, the one who tried to destroy the world, finally regained his memories. With a somber look in his eyes, he lay beside Yi Ling like a big dog who couldn't have the one he loved, whining pitifully: "Don't look at anyone else. Look at me more!"

Reader's guide: 1. The protagonist is a great demon king, overwhelmingly powerful.

2. The love interest isn't a little one. He only returned to his infancy for certain reasons.

3. The author is a habitual procrastinator, and this is a writing exercise. Enter at your own risk.

Theme: Lack of talent doesn't mean you've lost everything. Hard work can also be a rare and precious talent.
