Chapter 21: Greeting the Princess
Hearing her name being announced, Princess Lera Sweeney stepped into the room with a smile plastered on her face. She hadn't intended to show up so early, but the divine message from the angels insisted that she proceed ahead of schedule. The news that the demon king had vanished was certainly concerning, and he needed to be found and killed quickly. That meant sending the 'heroes' off as soon as possible. Her eyes studied each and every one of the summoned heroes that had arrived early. Many of them still wore their boorish clothes from wherever they came from. It was an insult considering how she had her people work diligently in the night to make clothes just for them to show their hospitality. Of the few that had accepted the gift were a duo currently sitting at one of the tables. The woman was certainly eye-catching. With blonde hair and blue eyes, she had to be blessed by the heavens to be given such looks. The sight made her seethed. How could such a lowly wom

Chapter 22: Discussing Kingdom Affairs After a Meal
"Please eat, there's much we have to discuss," the princess said as she continued her journey to the throne set at the top of the steps in the room. Servants rolled in with several trays that they set down on the tables for people to pick from. None of the food was actually impressive despite what the princess would have them believe. After living there for four years, he had quickly learned that they had served food that could be found in any tavern. They had only assumed that it was impressive simply because they were in the presence of royalty and none of them had access to such large portions before. The food in front of them could easily feed a large army. Everyone still standing grabbed a seat as 'Kayla' hissed, "What was that about?" "I was simply being polite. You can certainly learn something about being polite," he said as he placed some food onto his plate. "We should eat. Something tells me that what the princess has to say is important."

Chapter 23: Using the System for the 'First' Time
"Your concerns are not unfounded, but I don't intend to send you off without any help. That is why I'm here now," she said as she stood up and raised her arms up. "You may not know this, but you have been blessed by the angels to access something simply known as the system. With this system, you'll be able to fight against the demons, and I've been given a mission by the angels to ensure you know how to use it.""System?""What is she talking about?""Is this like a video game?""This is like a webnovel."There were two responses to her words: confusion and excitement. Confusion could easily be split into two groups. Those who had no clue what she was talking about and those who had some kind of idea but weren't sure.Luke had been in the later category. Playing video games was something most people his age did. Not everyone of course, but most people knew what a video game was or how it worked. He had played enough time with his friends to

Chapter 24: ‘Learning’ How to Use the System
[Hello, new user. You have been successfully integrated into the system. The information below are your current stats. Take not that these stats are not permanent and can increase or decrease based on the user's actions. More information will be provided as the user progresses.][Luke Hellwalker][Strength: 8][Intelligence: 5][Stamina: 10][Endurance: 9][Dexterity: 4][Mana: 1]It was just like how he thought. His stats were the same as last time. It made sense that nothing would change since he returned to when he was freshly summoned. Even being changed into a demon king didn't change that though he did wonder about the logistics of it. How could he be the

Chapter 25: Lying About Stats
  [Grace Hill]   [Strength: 4]   [Intelligence: 3]   [Stamina: 4]   [Endurance: 5]   [Dexterity: 4]   [Mana: 9]   Luke stared in disbelief as she outright lied to everyone about her stats with a straight face. No, not quite a straight face as her voice wavered, and she stuttered out her stats, but no one would think she was lying about her stats. At least not by saying they were lower than they actually were. She had essentially halved all her stats, making her appear to be the weakest person in the room.   That wasn't true since he actually saw someone whose real stats were all below ten and lied about having be

Chapter 26: The Start of the Mandatory 'Tutorial'
Gerald's eyes scanned the room as he studied the 'heroes'. This was the first time he'd seen a 'hero' before, and he wasn't sure what to think. None of them were like how he imagined them to be. Some of them looked like a simple gust would knock them down. He could see that he had his work cut out for him. Unfortunately, all he had to go on were the stories his grandparents told him. He had heard all kinds of tales about how they triumphed against the demons, bringing peace to the land. Almost none of them talked about their early days when they were new to the world. The last of the heroes from the previous generation died out more than 50 years ago. It was unfortunate what happened, but they died for a good cause. Sacrificing themselves to bring down the demon king was indeed hero worthy. If it weren't for the devious demon king's tricks, the demons would have been wiped out by now. Now it was up to them to end it this time. He had been preparing for this m

Chapter 27: An Important Discussion With a Future Party Member
"Grace, we need to have a talk," Luke said once they had gotten a fair distance away from everyone. At his words, she jerked as if she didn't expect him to say such a thing and stopped in her tracks. Fortunately, it was only the three of them standing in the hallway, but that could easily change at any moment. It was best if they found a place to talk privately, and he knew several places for them to hide out for their conversation. After several moments of silence, she finally said, "I-I guess this has to do with my lying about my stats." "Yes, but I don't think we should have this conversation out in the open. Follow me," he said. They entered an empty room, and he indicated to 'Kayla' to use her abilities to hide their conversation from possible spies. Luckily, despite being turned into a human, she still had access to the abilities she had as an angel though they were much weaker. She would only be able to disguise their conversation for a few min

Chapter 28: Getting Closer With Future Party Member
"Why should we tell you?" 'Kayla' asked, once again undermining his authority. He glared at her, conveying exactly how he felt about her actions. She shuddered before continuing. "You've already proven that you will lie.""Th-that's—" She didn't even get to finish her sentence before she mowed down."How can we possibly trust you? You think we're suspicious, but you're just as suspicious as us. Can you give us one good reason we should tell you anything?" 'Kayla' said as she jabbed her finger in Grace's direction.At his furious expression, she finally backed off. It looked like he hadn't realized anything yet, but she had already received her first quests since becoming a human. One was from her system while the other had come from his. She hadn't expected to receive a quest after losing her system but less one from the latter so when she had gone to her room to think about everything that happened, she nearly jumped out of her human skin at the sight of

Chapter 29: A Trip to the Training Grounds
Seeing how out of breath Grace was, Luke said, "Let's take a short break.""N-No, *pant* I can *pant* keep going," she said as she leaned against a tree for support.He and 'Kayla' stared at her. She was obviously struggling to keep up. Honestly, it was impressive she had been able to keep at their pace despite never having to do such an intensive exercise. It was one thing walking on a sidewalk and another to traverse through a dense forest.Even he was breathing heavier from all the walking they did. His body was currently that of a teen whose only exercise was walking to school and playing some sports, and he assumed Grace was the same. It was only thanks to his stamina stat being slightly higher than hers that he wasn't in the same condition. He needed to quickly get his body back into shape.Actually, even 'Kayla' was a bit flushed despite being an angel. He supposed it couldn't be helped since she was currently no longer an angel, and her stamina st

Chapter 30: Exploring the Training Grounds
Luke stared at the collapsed figure of his future party member. Grace was currently passed out from exhaustion. She had really not been prepared to travel another three miles and had actually lost all steam in the final mile to get there. He and 'Kayla' had to carry her the rest of the trip which was why it ended up almost taking another two hours to reach their destination.'Kayla' wasn't in the best shape herself considering how she was bonelessly resting against the wall. It was clear that the drop in her stats had gotten to her as she had mumbled to herself about how she had gotten so weak.He himself felt that his legs had turned to jelly and wasn't looking forward to the training that was planned the next day. It was going to be hell trying to get back into shape. Unfortunately, he didn't know any shortcuts for improving his stats outside of training and fighting demons.Scanning the training grounds, he saw that it hadn't changed much from what he remembe
