"Should I scout ahead?" asked Chris as he had a tight grip on his bows and arrows.The party shared a glance before Luke said, "Go ahead, but at the first sign of trouble, head back right away.""Got it," Chris said as he hurried off to find the reason for the crowd.It didn't take long for him to weave his way around the people until he was at the front. Of course, it wasn't without consequence, as people glared at his back. It was understandable, but right now he needed to figure out what was happening, and he would be on his way afterwards. The guards took notice of his presence and tightened their hands on their spears.One of them stepped forward with their spear pointed in his direction as he said, "Back."Chris raised his hands in surrender as he said, "I mean no harm. I only want to know what's going on."His words did nothing to convince the guards that he meant no harm. Even the people behind him backed away and stared at him like he had the plague. Actually, the more he tho

After clearing out all the bodies, Luke looked at how many points he had received. He had only gathered about twenty two points. It couldn't be helped since there were only twenty two demonic monkeys they fought and killed, but with such a small number of points, he couldn't imagine being able to get anything worthwhile from the store.Well, it couldn't hurt to check. He pulled up the store and scanned the options. Luke wasn't sure what he was expecting, but he certainly didn't expect to see the store selling gold in exchange for points. The rate seemed to be one point for one gold. That meant if he exchanged all his points, he would get twenty two gold. Immediately, he checked to see if there was an option to exchange gold for points.He was denied, much to his disappointment. Of course, it couldn't be that easy to earn points. The demon king had already said as much. Luke had no need for more gold when he was getting decent money from the Morris family because of their deal. It woul

"Okay, seriously, how are we still finding nothing on those demons?" said Bobby as he slammed his fist on the table.This drew the attention of the people in the inn, and he ducked his head to avoid their attention. Lately, the atmosphere had been getting uglier and uglier with each passing day. They had been there for almost a week now, with no news from Luke or Tracy either. It was honestly worrying, but they couldn't leave the town to go look for them.It wasn't because they didn't want to, but it was because the townspeople insisted they stay and solve the demon problem. The situation had gotten so bad that a fight might have broken out if the heroes hadn't backed down. It took a bit of effort to keep Theodore from doing something that the party would regret. This was nothing like they expected. As heroes, they should be treated better."If only Luke were here, then we might be able to get out of this mess," Chris said.Theodore only scowled as he drank from his mug. Grace glanced

When the explosion first started happening, the only person remaining calm was Theodore. He glanced all around as he kept his ears open for what could be the cause, which was difficult considering all the screaming. It didn't help that the cells next to him contained Bobby and Chris, who seemed to be panicking over the situation. That wasn't to say Grace was calm.In fact, if he could see her, he would see that she was shaking in her boots. However, it was better than listening to the duo shouting and demanding to know what was happening. It was obvious what was going on. The important part was to figure out who was responsible and what they needed to do next. It was unfortunate that he wasn't strong enough to bend the bars of his cell.Another explosion erupted, and this time it came from behind him. Fortunately, he reacted fast enough and was able to defend himself as best he could against it. His arms screamed in pain as he cursed. He could vaguely hear the rest of his party trying

Luke thought about what the demon king meant. He must be referring to using more of the demon's system's features. So far, he had used it sparingly to avoid drawing too much attention from the angels. Despite everything they had done to keep the angels from noticing them, he still felt cautious about using it so much in public.The only features he had really used were looking at the quest notifications, going through the slave information, and checking the list of people he had. He hadn't touched any of the other features since the first time he had seen what it had to offer, way back in the beginning, when they had been first summoned there. However, he couldn't see how using the system more would change anything.[That's where you're wrong.]Crossing his arms, Luke said, "Tell me more."[You have already seen the sections regarding slaves, servants, harem members, and an army. A demon king can't truly be called a demon king if he doesn't have demons to rule over. Right now, you hav
