Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 103: Sudden Attack
Caleb dove for cover as he cursed everything under the sun. Demons screamed as they were struck by fire. Why were the heroes already here? They couldn't have already reached the city, and there would be no reason for them to suddenly throw themselves in the middle of an invading demon army. That was practically asking to be killed, but here they were."System, why didn't you say anything?" he demanded.[The user should have considered the possibility based on past experience.]He gave the system a blank look. "This never happened in the game."Demon invasions were normal, but when the heroes received the quest, they always went to the city to defend it instead of charging at the demon army. In fact, he couldn't even recall there being an option to perform a preemptive strike. It would have definitely changed things in the game. However, that wasn't important at the moment. Right now, he needed to survive.Trying to remain calm amid the chaos, Caleb checked his map to see if he could s
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 104: Aftermath of the Demon Invasion
[Emergency Quest][A Demon Invasion][You were only able to partially complete the first task.][A chunk of your followers were left behind, making you lose a part of your army.][The condition of the followers you did find was decent.][You did not complete the second task.][You ran away before the demons could reach the city and avoided fighting the heroes.][You were only able to partially complete the first third task.][You and your followers were suspected by some of the demons eight times.][Three of those times, you were only able to partially absolve them of their suspicions as a few continued to observe you for unusual activities.][Eight of those times, you were unable to avoid drawing attention and causing the other demons to wonder about you.][You did not complete the fourth task.][You didn't fight the invading demon force and ran.][You did not complete the fifth task.][You didn't recruit any demons into your army.][Quest Rewards][You have gained four levels and re
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 105: Human Form
Seeing their blank expressions, Caleb thought it was a good sign. It was better than them taking the news poorly, but it was hard to say for sure what they were feeling or thinking. They might not even be thinking at all. Well, it was time to see what his human form looked like. He hoped it would be more impressive than his original one.If he had to remain a demon rat until he returned home, his human form had to make up for it. After giving the system his approval, he waited. At first, nothing happened. Tapping his foot away, he ignored the itching sensation at the back of his neck. As the sensation got stronger, he realized this couldn't be a normal itch. It had to be the start of the change.Caleb wasn't sure why it was like that, but he didn't have time to think about anything else as he started to scratch his neck. The sensation rapidly spread to the rest of his body, almost like wildfire. He probably looked like an idiot in front of everyone, scratching like a maniac. However,
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 106: Racking Up Levels
[Caleb Gonzales][Level 66][Species: Demon Rat][Strength: 60][Intelligence: 65][Stamina: 56][Endurance: 52][Dexterity: 51][Mana: 45]With a huff, Caleb nodded at the results of his hard labor. He had done the impossible and racked up his levels like mad. The loss he had incurred from the emergency quest had spurred him to do whatever it took to make up for it, and it seemed like he had done it. This time, Caleb had made sure to keep the group hidden and out of sight for a longer period of time.Well, as hidden and out of sight as they could be. They had still been harassed by other demons, but the demons had been turning their attention away from them to focus on the humans. Just thinking about the reason behind this made him grimace. He would have liked to be able to scrub his mind of the memory of his encounter with the demon king.Caleb had nearly died from shock and fright when the demon king appeared out of nowhere in front of the base. Why had the final boss shown up at h
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 107: The Demon King is Dead
"Can you repeat that?" Caleb asked after several minutes.[The demon king is dead.]"That's what I thought you said," he muttered to himself as he tried to process what he was hearing.Caleb couldn't believe that the demon king was dead. It wasn't that he never considered it happening. Since he played the game, he obviously knew it could happen. It was the whole objective of the game. It would be weirder if it never occurred to him. However, after so many years in this place, he didn't think the summoned heroes could do it.With most of them dead, having a small party of heroes kill him seemed unrealistic. He knew very well how powerful the demon was after meeting him, so it blew his mind that they could do it. The demon king had been the one to help him jump so many levels and boost his stats to get closer to his goal of getting home. If it weren't for him, it would still be a distant dream.His stats were in the Rare or Epic range, which was more than he could expect for himself as
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 108: Looting Treasure
Caleb could honestly say he could never imagine that he would one day be looting from the demon king. Under normal circumstances, this would be the same as asking to be killed. Only someone crazy or delusional would try to pull something off. Of course, the demon king being dead wasn't a normal circumstance. As he stared at the remains of the castle, he had mixed feelings.It had taken a long time to travel here. Even though he wanted to go right away and even had the skill [Teleport], it couldn't be used on a large group yet. At most, he could teleport a dozen of them, and there was an extremely long cooldown right after using it. Not to mention that the distance he could teleport was short. This was after he had leveled up the skill quite a bit after using it as much as he could.In the beginning, he could only teleport a few feet by himself before he had to wait a week to use it. He was just grateful that the cooldown hadn't been longer, like a month. It would honestly not surprise
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 109: Resurrection
Caleb took his words back. Even though she was a hero and he was a demon rat, they hadn't really been enemies. She hadn't raised a hand against him, nor had they said anything that could be remotely considered hostile. They had only been enemies in name. He was certain that Gloria and the others would mourn over her death. They had been quite attached to her.He probably shouldn't bring it up with them since it wouldn't change anything. She wouldn't miraculously come back to life if they all knew. It was best to bury her quietly, which meant doing this alone. His demon rat form wasn't going to cut it since it never grew in size. That was another detail he hadn't been happy about. It made no sense for him to still be tiny.However, the system refused to touch the subject whenever Caleb brought it up. Instead, it would either remain silent or act like he hadn't said anything. Caleb had no doubt that it was a glitch preventing him from growing bigger. With a huff, he transformed into his
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 110: Secret Treasury
Caleb wasn't amused, but the system wasn't going to budge, which meant he needed to figure this out and quickly. Once his followers showed up, it was going to be chaotic when they saw who it was. The only good thing was that he didn't bring everyone who knew her here. He wouldn't have been able to deal with eleven of them circling and hounding him."Okay, instead of focusing on what I can't control, I should focus on what I can do," he muttered to himself.Ignoring the first three requirements, he studied the last two. Out of all the requirements, these were the only ones he could do something about, no matter how ridiculous they were. Gathering demons in the Epic range would take a lot of planning, effort, and time. There was no point in repeating how dangerous it was. He could make it work, even if it took several years.The thought of working his butt off to gather that many made him sigh. He was only considering the idea because of who it was and the reward he would get for comple
