Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 11: Fight
"Fight!" the demon rats chanted as if they were possessed by something.Caleb edged away from the battle crazed rats that happened to be near him as a couple of rats bit and clawed at each other. He should have known that things wouldn't be that simple. Frankly, it was quite scary how bloodthirsty they were as soon as Karen set out to carry out her suggestion. With how vicious the fights were, he didn't dare to volunteer himself.If he went down, he feared he would make a fool of himself and lose the respect they had for him. The only person he could count on to possibly not kill him right off the bat would be Karen, but she was busy supervising the fights since she understood it was important they didn't reduce their numbers. He winced as he saw a demon rat slash at its opponent's eye."System, how likely are we to be found by the heroes?" Caleb asked.[As the heroes have been summoned just recently, they likely won't be leaving the capital until at least six months have passed.]He

Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 14: Considering His Options
Caleb jumped into the air before scurrying away from what he assumed was his enemy. After ducking for cover within the bushes, he dared to peek out from under his cover to see that nothing was there. Confused and unnerved by the turn of events, he refused to come out of his hiding spot as his eyes darted for his mysterious enemy.Several minutes passed, and there was still no activity. He knew he couldn't stay there all day, but he was scared to go out and be ambushed by his unseen enemy. Waiting a bit longer, he knew he couldn't stay there any longer when his stomach growled. All the running had made him hungry, so he reluctantly stepped slowly out of his hiding spot.As soon as he was fully out in the open, he expected to be attacked immediately. However, nothing popped out of the shadows to hurt him. Scanning his surroundings, he couldn't spot anything out of the ordinary. Scratching
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 15: Testing Results of Training (1)
The days passed like a blur, and Caleb slowly became more accustomed to the world. Honestly, besides the incident with the demon wolf and demon rat, he had gotten used to being a demon rat, which was quite terrifying. He chalked it up to the system making sure he had no problems with his new body, but that didn't make the prospect any less scary.Surveying the scene in front of him, he was amazed at how much progress they had made. In the beginning, it had been chaos getting them to not kill each other over the slightest thing. Now they only fought each other when it was the designated time and never went too far in a fight. Even though he wasn't actively involved, it certainly helped level up his skills.[Tactician][Level 3][Can read the situation better an
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 16: Testing Results of Training (2)
Caleb quickly remedied his mistake and said, "Look. Food. Bring."This time, the demon rats understood what he was saying and went off in separate directions to carry out his orders. They didn't even hesitate or stop to ask questions. Well, the last one wouldn't happen unless it was one of his named followers, and even then they would just stare at him instead of verbally asking their question.Pulling up the map, he studied the movements of all his followers. It was a bit inconvenient that it only showed whether a dot was an enemy, ally, or neutral party. He hadn't realized the problem until much later, when he was trying to use it to find Karen. It couldn't tell the difference between her and the other demon rats, much to his frustration.Of course, when he brought it up with the system, it was unhelpful and only said it couldn't do anything about it.
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 17: Defeat the Demon Tiger (1)
Of course, the army was hesitant. Caleb didn't expect otherwise. If he were in their place, he would also think he was crazy for ordering them to fight a demon tiger. Even with the large numbers, it wouldn't be easy to fight. The demon tiger was bigger and stronger than them. One swipe could kill them, but he needed to use everything he had, including the army."Find the demon tiger. Report. Plan," he ordered.At first, the demon rats didn't make a move. Then Karen and the other named demon rats took the lead and pushed the other demon rats to search. Watching them go off in separate directions, Caleb looked at the map. He might not be able to identify the dots, but he could make some educated guesses based on what his army did.Many of them passed by red dots, which he immediately assumed weren't the target. Others stopped, and he assumed they had been
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 18: Defeat the Demon Tiger (2)
Unfortunately, Caleb had no clue where to start. He didn't exactly have a concrete plan to deal with the demon tiger in mind when he sent his army to look for it. At best, he had some faint ideas that he could attempt, but there had been no guarantee that they would work. The only information he had on them was from what he gathered in the game.Demon tigers were essentially like tigers, except slightly better. Other than that, he really didn't have anything else to go on. It would have been better if instead of a demon rat army, they were an army of humans, or at least something stronger. The moment it crossed his mind, he wanted to snap his fingers, if he had any. That was it. It was obvious what he needed to do."Retreat," he commanded as he ran in the direction of the green and red dots heading their way.There was some confusion from the demon rats

Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers who have been following along for so long. Caleb's story has ended, which means I currently don't have any stories being written on the platform at this moment.I feel like my writing style has changed since I first started writing on Meganovel, and I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. We shall see how much more it changes.Anyway, there are several things that I want to let you know.I'm a bit sad that Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race didn't get as much love as my other stories, but there could be many factors that could have contributed to it. Maybe in the future I'll do a rewrite or remake of it since I still like the idea.If I do go through with this idea, then I'll just immediately go to eBook and paperback, and it would be very different from the one here. We will have to see, and I'll let everyone know.As for a new story, I'm still debating on what story I want to do. My plan is to have at least one ex

Chapter 190: A New Beginning
"Have you heard? They say a new demon king has appeared," someone whispered in the streets."How can that be? Wasn't the demon king killed before they could become the demon king?" another whispered."Well, the demons are acting differently compared to after the previous demon kings died," a person said.Caleb pulled down his hood even more as he passed by the gossiping crowd. He had only stepped away from the castle to catch his breath. It had been months since he had returned to this world, and he had so much work to catch up on that it wasn't even a joke. So much had happened that it felt surreal. There were still plenty of demons defying him.They still couldn't believe he was the new demon king. Caleb could understand why. He hadn't become the demon king the proper way, so it was natural that they were suspicious of his claims despite all the support he received. Even with support, there were some who simply didn't care. Bringing the demons together was a difficult job.He didn't

Chapter 189: Resolving Matters
Caleb didn't like the sound of that. Why was the fake laughing? It was obviously at the end of its rope. There was no way it could stand a chance against all of them. Something wasn't right. As the smoke cleared, his face curled in disgust at the sight, and he wasn't the only one. He could feel Grace lean towards him as if trying to hide from the sight.The fake could barely be called alive. Its body was fraying at the seams, and the skin was peeling off. The fact that it was still standing was unreal. It was really a gruesome sight that would have made him sick if it had been the him from before he showed up in this world. He was a bit unnerved and worried about what the fake would do next."It looks like it's my loss. I had really hoped to get rid of you, but it looks like I'll just have to wait for another opportunity to arise. You got lucky," the fake said.Just as those words left the fake's deformed mouth, bats swarmed around it. None of them could see what was happening, but th

Chapter 188: Return
"Do you think the human will really return with our new demon king?" Lisa asked as she leaned back against the wall. "He wasn't exactly enthusiastic about it before.""Who can say?" Takisha said as she brushed her hair back. "We can only wait for the results.""It's not like he would make a good demon king anyway," Ruth said with a huff."Are you going to try to kill him if he returns?" Mildred asked."Of course not," she snapped before she muttered the next part to herself. "It's not like you'll let me.""Shouldn't you be more honest with yourself? He actually grew on you," Lisa said with a smirk.Ruth hissed. "You're one to talk. You think the same."Lisa scowled, but she didn't argue against it. She wasn't the only one feeling some attachment. Well, it wasn't exactly an attachment. Takisha and Mildred barely knew much about him. They had only known each other briefly. However, that didn't diminish their interest in him. It was the only reason why they weren't eager to kill him off

Chapter 187: Escape
Caleb's body moved to shield her. He grunted as he felt the bullet strike his side. Fortunately, it didn't hit anything vital, but that didn't make it hurt any less. Grace was screaming his name and rushing to his side as the fake waved the gun around with a bored expression on its face. Caleb pressed a hand to the injury and felt blood coat his hand."I guess that didn't work out. Let's try again," the fake said as they raised their gun again.Suddenly, the duo found themselves falling through the air before hitting the ground hard. Caleb wheezed as he landed on his injured side. He rolled onto his back to relieve the pressure and catch his breath. Grace was quickly at his side, casting her healing magic on him again. He could feel the telltale signs of her magic working before it stopped."What? Oh, no," Grace muttered as she cast again.This time, the effect was even shorter. Caleb could still feel his injury bleeding out. For some reason, her healing magic wasn't working properly

Chapter 186: Brawl
It was silent as Caleb and the fake Grace stared at each other. The real Grace glanced between the two of them, wondering what she was supposed to do. This was beyond anything she had expected when the system assigned the quest. She had thought it was a strangely easy task at first, but she quickly realized it wasn't as simple as she first thought.At first, she couldn't go herself. When she saw the restriction, she had thought she had misread it. However, the words didn't change, no matter how much she looked at them. The system had really told her that she couldn't go personally, even though it said she had to find him and convince him to come back. Luckily, she was able to convince the four demon women to go.Grace had been worried that they wouldn't listen, but they strangely went along with her request. When she had asked why, they all gave a different response. In the end, they all wanted the same thing, which was to have him back. That was good enough for her. With their help,

Chapter 185: Catching Up
Caleb grunted as they reappeared in a different location and crashed into the ground. Apparently, Grace had teleported them away from the danger. Unfortunately, she hadn't done a good job at it, which was why he was currently in pain. Ignoring the pain and getting to his feet, he took a look at their surroundings. He didn't recognize where they were.Looking back at Grace, he said, "I have so many questions that I have no idea where to begin.""You asked how I got here, well, I got a little help from the system," she said.He frowned. "The system helped you?""It assigned me a quest to find you and convince you to return," Grace said."I see," he said.Even though the system did say it would help him return home, it didn't say it wouldn't get someone

Chapter 184: Trap
As they sat in the car, Caleb couldn't stop feeling uneasy about the whole thing. This was probably the first time he had ever gotten in the car without someone who wasn't family. It felt odd, and he didn't know what to do about the atmosphere. Caleb wanted to break the silence, but he didn't know what to talk about. He obviously couldn't bring up the other world.There were several reasons why that simply wouldn't work. One was that this fake Grace wouldn't know about it. At least he didn't think she did. She would just think he was crazy, which led to the second reason. Even if she did know about it, they weren't alone in the car. Talking about the other world in front of others was just not the smart thing to do.Caleb kept glancing at Grace out of the corner of his eye, but she didn't even look in his direction. Her eyes were focused straight ahead, with a blank expression on her fac
