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

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

Caleb laughed as he walked out of the movie theater. "That was a good movie. What should I try next?"He thought over it carefully. Now that he was no longer held back by his worries, he had gone all out. Instead of spending time picking up skills that he would need in the real world, he decided to splurge on whatever he wanted. Yesterday, he had gone to the arcade to play some of the games using his hard earned money instead of saving it.The day before that, he had gone to the amusement park by himself. Of course, he got a few looks since he had gone alone. He had even sparked up the courage to flirt with some of the ladies. Obviously, his attempts failed. Well, it wasn't like he had been expecting otherwise. At least none of them got violent, like how they were protrayed in the media when approached by a random stranger.In hindsight, it was probably

Caleb choked on his spit before he demanded, "What?""Quiet," his uncle snapped.Grace frowned, causing his uncle to shut up. Caleb was still trying to wrap his mind around how his relatives were basically selling him to a Grace copy. Why did she even want him? They had never encountered each other in this fake world. She shouldn't even know he existed. Was it because she was based on his memories? No, there was no way she would act like this."I see that you haven't discussed things with your nephew," Grace said.He immediately stared at his relatives, who weren't looking in his direction. How long had they been in contact? It sounded like this wasn't their first discussion about him. Caleb tried to recall if he had seen anything suspicious, but he was drawing a blank. There had been no signs of them talking with Grace. Maybe he had just been blind to it after he had decided to screw it all."The truth is that our nephew isn't the easiest to speak with," his aunt said as she dabbed a
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 183: Parting Ways
In hindsight, it probably wasn't a good idea for Caleb to storm out of there, but he still couldn't believe what was happening. There was definitely no way things could return to normal. Even if they ended up not taking her offer, there was no way to repair what had been said between them. Well, he wasn't sorry about what he said. He felt so betrayed.It reminded him of what happened before when the demons were around. Maybe this was another glitch or bug, but what could have caused it? The last time had been because the demons managed to make their way there. The system should have set up precautions to prevent it from happening again, so he couldn't blame it on the demons.Was it because of his actions? This only happened after he decided to go wild. When he had acted normally, things had acted in character according to what he remembered. Was this fake world reacting to his mental state? Caleb really didn't have a clue since he hadn't thought to ask the system more about the place.

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

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
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race 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,
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race 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
