Luke waited for the system to bring him back to everyone else. His real body should still be back where he left it, along with everyone else, since it was only his mind that the system had grabbed. That was unless the system thought to assign the others a different punishment that would physically send them away. If that were the case, then they would have a serious issue.That would mean they would be short on people when they were attacked by the demons and prophets, because he didn't doubt for a second that they would be attacked. However, that wouldn't be the only problem. Sometimes the system wouldn't return them back to where it originally grabbed them from. It was part of the punishment to find their way back. Hopefully, this wasn't the case for them this time if the system did decide to remove one or more members from the group.When the system finally returned him to his group, he saw several things that told him that things had gone wrong. One was that he was the first perso

Luke got help from someone unexpected, as Boyd said, "We don't need to rely on them to search for Grace. We can find her without their help."The last person Luke had expected to speak up was Boyd, considering his background. Out of the five knights, Luke considered him to be the least reliable because of his womanizing ways and how he hadn't shown any commendable behavior thus far. He had also shown that he was quick to abandon people if he thought it wasn't worth it, so why was he acting so confident they could do it without their archers?"How do you suggest we do that?" asked Santiago. "This forest is huge. She could be anywhere.""They couldn't have gone far. The goblins wouldn't be able to carry her unless they had a huge group. It would also have drawn attention," Boyd said.That wasn't true, which was what Luke

Bobby pushed forward, resting his entire weight against Luke's back as he said, "We rescued you from a bunch of goblins.""What?" Grace managed to say after staring at them in disbelief.Luke shoved Bobby away as he said, "It's a long story."Then he proceeded to provide a summarized version of what happened while she was unconscious. It was quite short, contrary to what everyone experienced, but it was supposed to be a summary. As he recapped what had happened, his eyes studied her form again to make sure he hadn't missed anything. Nothing seemed out of place, and any scrapes she had were from being dragged.Once he finished, she said, "I'm sorry for being so much trouble. I ended up causing trouble for everyone.""It's not your fault," Bobby said. "It's not like you asked to be kidn

It was goblins. Of course it was goblins. Luke wasn't sure what he was expecting when he heard the footsteps approaching them. There weren't many options for who it could be. He had momentarily considered whether it was the citizens or the prophets, but he discarded them after thinking about it. If there hadn't been a layer of dust coating the furniture, then he would have really considered them as a possibility.He discarded the possibility that it was the prophets, as they had shown no signs of confronting them face to face. It simply wasn't their style based on everything Luke had seen so far. They had only used magic to capture them in an illusion and allowed the goblins to do the fighting. There was also another reason for it, but he wasn't going to bring it up just yet.Their group was able to easily defeat the small group of five goblins without any difficulty. IT would have been

Luke struck as soon as everyone fell asleep. After discussing what they should do, everyone had finally decided to retire for the night. He had been the one designated to take the first shift. Once he was certain that no one would interrupt what he was about to do, he entered 'Grace's' room. The women reacted immediately to his presence and tried to attack him.He easily overpowered her and kept her mouth covered to keep her from waking up the others. It would be bad if anyone else came in and saw what they were doing. They would misunderstand his intentions and think he was trying to take advantage of her, despite how long they had been together. He was going to wait a little bit longer to see what 'Grace' was going to do, but circumstances changed."I think it's about time you stop pretending," Luke said as he kept the woman wearing Grace's face pinned to the floor.
