Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 173: More Questions
Takisha shrugged as she said, "We're not sure. It's not like we've had experience becoming the demon king. We don't know how the process works exactly. All we know is that the one who kills the previous demon king becomes the new one.""Based on what we know, we can assume the process takes time." Mildred paused to think for a moment before adding, "Your case is the exception to the rule."Caleb couldn't argue with that. It was a bit annoying that there were no more details regarding how the whole thing worked, but there was nothing he could do about it. Actually, now that he thought about it, there was something more worrying occupying his mind. If the system had been so desperate to replace the missing demon king, why was it okay with sending him away?Something wasn't adding up. If it really lied to him about going home, why would it bother to send him to this fake world? It wasn't like he could do anything against it if it decided to go back on its word. He didn't exactly have any
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 174: Leaving the House
Something in Caleb's face must have given him away, as Mildred asked, "Did the system tell you otherwise?"Seeing no reason to lie, he nodded. "Yes, the system told me if I fulfilled a certain requirement, I would be able to go home.""Does it involve being in this world?" Takisha asked with a thoughtful look."Not exactly. Why are you so quick to assume the system gave me the chance to go home?" When he saw their blank stares, he quickly said, "Never mind. Dumb question."Of course, it had to be the system. Who else would be able to get him back home? It certainly wasn't the humans or demons. Caleb couldn't say much about the angels since he had never encountered one himself. The only time they appeared in the game was in the very beginning, and that was only for a brief custscene. Afterwards, they were never seen again.Literally, everyone else had more screen time than they did. They didn't even appear in flashbacks or anything. It was honestly a waste of art. Why spend time on crea
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 175: Changes
The moment the trio left through the front door, Takisha huffed. "Unbelievable. I've never been so disrespected before in my life.""That's not true," Mildred said in a bland tone."You know very well, I don't mean other demons. Those are a given. Some just don't know their place," Takisha said as she brushed her hair over her shoulder again.Caleb remained silent as he followed the two demons. He had nothing to add to the conversation and didn't want to. As they continued to walk, he scanned his surroundings for any signs of Lisa and Ruth. Caleb assumed that the duo had an idea where the other two went and went with the flow. It wasn't like he had any ideas. After some time, they stopped, but he didn't see any signs of Lisa and Ruth."You've been quiet. Do you have nothing to say?" Takisha asked as she crossed her arms.He shook his head. "No, but where's Lisa and Ruth? I don't see them anywhere.""Who knows?" Takisha simply said, to his disbelief."Then why are we walking in this di
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 176: Unexpected Sight
The trio headed towards the source of the explosion as Caleb lamented his peaceful stay in this fake world. If the authorities connected him to the explosion, he was going to have to go on the run. The thought of having to run and hide until the system said everything was clear sent shivers down his spine. That absolutely couldn't be allowed to happen.As they rounded the corner, the two demons in front of him suddenly stopped. Unprepared, Caleb barreled into their backs. Of course, he wasn't strong enough to knock them down. Instead, he was the one to fall on his butt. He grimaced as he rubbed his aching backside as he got back to his feet. It didn't really hurt, but he reflexively did it anyway.Caleb focused his attention on what the duo was staring at and froze. "You got to be kidding me."He thought the system said it was safe here. How was it safe when he saw a giant plant monster running amok? That was the best way to describe the thing Lisa and Ruth were fighting. Caleb knew f
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 177: Discussion With the System
Several moments passed without a hint of the system. Caleb could feel the gazes of everyone nearby who heard him. He curled in on himself at the questioning looks he was getting. The fake people were probably thinking he had gone crazy. Hopefully, there was no one who recognized him nearby, or it was going to be awkward.[Has the user come to a decision?]The sight of the system was a relief. He had taken a gamble by calling for it, and he had thought he had failed when it didn't answer right away. However, before he could speak, he noticed something was off. Everything around him had become gray, like the last time he spoke with the system. That wasn't what caught his attention. The demons with him had also been frozen."Takisha? Mildred?" he said as he reached out to them.They didn't react, even
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 178: Matter of Souls
Caleb stared at the message blankly before saying, "Come again?"[If the user's soul was different, then the user could be sent back home with less difficulty.]"I wouldn't be here in the first place," he cut in brutually. "I remember quite clearly that I was told it was a mistake for me to be brought here."[Then the user will remember another detail that was explained to them for their current form.]His face scrunched up as he said, "Vaguely."[The user had to be turned into a demon rat because there was a copy of the same soul in the same world.]He immediately remembered, in detail, what the system was talking about. Caleb couldn't believe he had forgotten all about it. Apparently, one
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 179: Farewells
Caleb flinched as he took a step back to get away from the angry vampire. Fortunately, the system chose to intervene, and a light surrounded the demons. This was enough to distract them, as they were focused on the strange phenomenon happening to them. Their bodies were beginning to fade, signaling that they were being sent back.In an out of character move, Takisha snarled. "Caleb, explain yourself. I know you're responsible for this."He hesitated before saying, "You wouldn't return when I brought it up. Quite frankly, your presence is too much of a problem for me, so this is where we part ways.""Unbelieveable," she snapped. "It was a mistake coming after you."Lisa and Ruth were too far away for him to properly see their expressions. He couldn't even be sure they heard their conversation properly. Since they were t
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 180: Waiting
Caleb wasn't sure how much time had passed. In the beginning, he had tried to keep track of the days, but he had long since forgotten the exact date he started here. All the days seemed to blend with each other, making it impossible for him to know for sure how long he had been there. That was okay, though. The system would tell him when it was time. He didn't really need to check the date.At least that was what he told himself. More importantly, he had actually picked up a few skills while he waited to hear back from the system. Unfortunately, he was limited in what he could learn because of his relatives. He couldn't just spend money on taking classes and buying supplies, which narrowed down his scope quite a bit.That meant he couldn't take music lessons to somehow become a music prodigy or go to culinary school to become a world renowned chef when he returned. Well, it wasn't like he really cared for those things, but he would have liked to have more options. He did pick up a lot
