Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 119: Emergency Quest
[Emergency Quest][Resurrection][You have currently fulfilled the first, second, third, and fifth requirements.][You must complete the final requirement before the end of the day.][You will be rewarded once you have resurrected the target.]Caleb was surprised that the emergency quest would even tell him what he accomplished before the quest was completed. This hadn't happened before. Before he could think further about this, he had to throw himself out of the way of an incoming fireball. It was safe for him to stand around, staring at the system's message. He needed to find a secure place to go over what he just read.Running away from the scene, he didn't notice how his followers chased after him. They had initially gotten separated when they were teleported over, which was why their first thought was to find their king. None of them acknowledged Lisa as their king. Their one true king would always be Caleb, so when they saw him running away, they didn't hesitate to chase after h
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 120: Working Together
Seeing the dark look on her face, Caleb quickly remembered what kind of relationship they had. It wasn't going to be easy convincing her to listen to him when she considered him her servant. Fortunately, he was given a momentary reprieve when more knights showed up to attack. Without batting an eye, she killed all of them with a wave of her hand.As soon as she turned her attention back to him, he was ready. "Lisa, I have a proposition for you."Caleb saw the moment he messed up when she narrowed her eyes. "It's king to you."Muttering curses to himself, he said, "My king, please listen to what I have to say."Crossing her arms, she said, "Talk before I end you here and now."Why were women so difficult to deal with? At least with Grace, he didn't have to worry about her trying to blast his head off or something. It seemed like he had poor luck with the women in his life if he counted the female demon rats who followed him. Frankly, it was unnerving to deal with so many vicious women
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 121: Completing the Resurrection
As Caleb watched Lisa work her magic, he couldn't help but think that something strange was going on. Why was she going along with his idea so easily? What bothered him even more was how relieved he was that she was listening to him. He should be anxious or worried that she might lash out at him or that something went wrong, but there was like a haze clouding his mind.It was troubling, and he had no idea how to fix it. He might not be able to do anything about it. Instead of thinking about it, he decided it was best not to complicate things. For now, things were working out, and there was no need to change things. What mattered was that she was sending demon corpses back to the demon king's castle, like he had asked.Caleb didn't know how many were actually demons in the Epic range. It was impossible for him to know for sure, as he hadn't really interacted with the rest of her group. There could be zero all the way to a hundred. As long as the minimum requirement was met, he didn't c
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 122: Broken System
Caleb's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This was a lot more than he expected. He didn't think he would get that many levels as a reward. The gold was also a surprise. The most he had ever received from the system was one hundred gold. Well, it wasn't like he used them, but it was the thought that counted. This was probably the most fulfilling quest ever.It was actually worrying. Why would this quest give him so many levels when he was so close to level one hundred? Well, he wasn't exactly there. He had only reached level seventy six. That meant he still had twenty four more levels to go, but if he had three more quests that gave out the same rewards, he would be able to reach his goal and go home.He supposed the tasks he had to complete were tough. In fact, he had thought he wouldn't be able to complete it because the requirements were insane. If it weren't for the demon king's horde and Lisa's help, he wouldn't have been able to clear two of the conditions. It was almost a
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 123: Successful Resurrection
When Caleb said he was going to tackle whatever happened head on by himself, he hadn't meant it literally. Somehow, a ghost of wind was blowing around them, sending everyone and everything else flying away. He had only barely managed to stand his ground, but he was forced to watch as his backup flew out the open doors. When had that happen?Caleb didn't recall the doors being open when he showed up since he had been teleported inside the secret treasury. He would have thought there would be precautions to prevent intruders from getting in that way, but it was possible that those protections stopped working after the demon king's death. Maybe one of his followers had opened it while he was busy trying to resurrect Grace.Either way, it didn't matter in the end. What mattered was the fact that the doors shut behind him after everyone else had been flung out, effectively leaving him the only one. This couldn't be a coincidence, and Caleb seriously wondered if he was in over his head. Unf
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 124: Fallen Saintess
As Caleb was thinking it over, Grace pulled up her stats and gasped. "What?"At the sound of her voice, he asked, "What happened?"Looking away from the screen in front of her, she said, "My class changed again."Caleb blinked. "What did your class change into?""It's now Fallen Saintess," she said.Well, that resolved things. Based on the name, he could guess it meant she was now on the side of demons instead of angels, which was good for him. Of course, this was just a guess on his part since he didn't actually know much about the class itself. He didn't bother to wonder how her class changed for the second time. It was obvious that her resurrection changed her class.In hindsight, having a demon use a demonic ritual to bring someone back to life would clearly change the resurrected's allegiance. It would be unthinkable for a demon to bring back someone who was an enemy. That would be a waste of resources and, literally, asking to be killed right off the bat. However, Caleb had more
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 125: Introductions
Everyone stared at Grace, who wilted underneath all of the attention. She shouldn't have spoken up, but she felt the need to defend Caleb, who had basically saved her. If it weren't for him, she would have remained in that state for possibly forever. Well, it was too late now to regret her choices. Instead, she forced herself to stand tall and look the demon in the eye.Caleb wondered if she had a death wish. There was a time and place to speak up, and this wasn't the right moment. He had been gearing up on what to say to Lisa in order to get her off his back and not attack Grace on sight. However, he lost his chance the moment Grace opened her mouth. He had to somehow salvage as much of the situation as possible. The question was how.After wracking his mind for an answer, he came to only one conclusion. "This is Grace, a Fallen Saintess. She will be a great help to us."Lisa continued to stare at them, and he was tempted to repeat himself in case she had somehow missed what he said
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 126: Integrating the Fallen Saintess
Fortunately, Lisa went along with his suggestion and teleported everyone away. Caleb had been a bit worried she wouldn't listen, and he got violent. If that happened, well, he honestly had no clue what he could have done. In any case, Lisa was leaving them along for the time being, which gave Caleb time to speak with Grace alone. That was if his followers would stop swarming her.Caleb stared unimpressed as the demon rats chanted human mother as they surrounded her on all sides. Grace was looking at him, practically begging him to help her out of the strange situation she had gotten herself into. He knew that a few of them had been fond of her before, but he had thought it would have gone away after not seeing her for so long.How was he supposed to know that it only made them more fanatic, dragging everyone else who didn't know about her into it? Even the other demons who had been watching them because of Grace's presence seemed befuddled by the scene in front of them. It was like wa

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
