Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 89: Capable of Being a Leader (?)
"I'm really not cut out to be the leader," Caleb muttered to himself.Caleb thought that his experience playing video games and his time leading the previous group meant he was a capable leader. Granted, none of the games required him to lead an army or were about army building, but he thought for sure he wouldn't have any issues. However, the evidence in front of him proved otherwise.Somehow his orders for the demon rats currently monitoring the humans to report back had changed into them playing with the humans. The worst part was that he only figured it out after a lot of staring at the map and sending out demon rats to get the whole picture. Why was it so hard to lead an army? The game made it seem so easy for the demon king to control all the demons.[The user shouldn't fret, as everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.]It was strange to see the system trying to comfort him. On one hand, it was nice to have support. On the other hand, Caleb had to remind it that he liter
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 90: Utter Chaos
"Run!" a man screamed as the trio of goblins chased after them.A few of them looked back to see the bloodthirsty demons chasing after them. The goblins were clearly eager to get their hands on some human meat. None of them were equipped to actually fight demons. The group had assumed that they would just investigate and escape before they were spotted by the demons. They never expected to run into some goblins."Where's the exit?" someone cried as they protected their face from the leaves falling on them.Unfortunately, no one had an answer. They had completely lost their way after traversing the forest for so long. None of them knew whether the way out was left, right, or straight. Even if they did know, they were unable to think straight from sheer terror at the sight of the demons. This was the first time they had seen demons, and they were truly as terrifying as they had heard.Suddenly, someone tripped. Some stopped to look back and help, while others just kept running without l
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 91: Brainwashing 2.0
Caleb sighed. He supposed he should count his blessings that things didn't turn out worse, though he wasn't sure how it could have been worse. Realizing where his thoughts were heading, he immediately shook his head, much to the confusion of everyone else. This wasn't the time to be thinking about the worst that could happen. It had already passed, and he should focus on the present.Scanning the humans again, he grimaced, as a few of them would probably not survive if they were still alive. It was unfortunate, as he had intended to use his [Brainwashing] skill on them. The idea had suddenly come to him earlier, and he wanted to try and see if it would work. He had yet to use the skill on anything else besides demon rats. The skill had leveled up quite a bit, so it should be possible."Bring the humans closer," Caleb ordered.His followers didn't hesitate to drag them toward him. The ones still conscious and completely aware of what was going on screamed as they struggled to get away.
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 92: Poison Time
What Caleb meant by dealing with the rest was determining if it was worth letting them live a little while longer or being eaten by his followers. It was a bit concerning how many of them have started craving human meat. He had already known about their human eating habits, but it didn't make it any less disturbing to see how excited they were at the prospect of eating a human.Obviously, there was no point in prolonging the suffering of those with fatal injuries. It was unrealistic to expect them to return back alive to get their injuries treated. Even with magic, there were some things that couldn't be healed. It would be a mercy to let them be killed right now, though being eaten alive couldn't be called a mercy. Maybe he should kill them first before letting his followers devour them.Since the ones left were in no condition to pay attention to their surroundings, none of them were aware of the danger they were in. If they had, they would undoubtedly be begging for their lives or
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 93: Feeding His Followers
Out of the twelve humans that had been captured, three had been taken away, five had been poisoned, and the final four were untouched. Well, as untouched as they could be given their circumstances. Caleb signaled for the demon rats currently nearby to approach. As if sensing what he was about to order them, they eagerly approached the humans.Caleb watched them, thinking that perhaps he shouldn't have asked Joyce to poison the humans. None of the other demon rats except his main followers had poison resistance. That meant they couldn't eat the poisoned humans. Thinking it over a bit, he decided that this would be another test to see if it was possible for the other demon rats to obtain poisoned resistance. It should be fine, right?"Eat," he ordered with a nod, and they dove in eagerly.He seriously overestimated them, or perhaps it was because he missed a crucial detail regarding posion resistance. Obtaining the skill was only possible if the poison was weak enough not to immediately
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 94: Time Skip
Time seemed to move quickly and slowly at the same time. Before Caleb knew it, several months had passed without incident, and it almost felt unreal. Caleb had been so sure that heroes would come for them, but it didn't happen. In fact, the humans ended up leaving them alone to grow stronger in peace. He wasn't sure how that happened.Caleb had brainwashed the surviving humans to spin a story that wouldn't implicate them at all. However, it would be impossible to ignore how most of the men who had gone into the forest hadn't returned. He would have thought they would do something about it, like the last place did. Instead, days passed without any signs of any more humans.In the beginning, he had been walking on eggshells, thinking that the humans or heroes would show up any day now. However, now that so much time had passed, it no longer kept him up late at night. That didn't mean it didn't still bug him. Caleb refused to let his guard down and made sure to have his followers keep an
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 95: Third Step to World Domination
[Quest][Third step to World Domination][You have already successfully completed the first and second steps.][Complete the third step to world domination.][You will be rewarded once you complete the third step.]For example, the next part of the chained of the quest was waiting for him to make a move. The lack of information made it difficult to determine what the next step wanted him to do. Caleb knew he wasn't that smart compared to a lot of people, so his mind couldn't figure out what it was, no matter how long he stared at the screen. He was drawing a complete blank.The first two steps had been about his army and dealing with territory. Was the next about attacking others and taking what they needed, basically making him into a tyrant? Well, the demon king was an example of this type of ruler. It was impossible for them to be any other, but Caleb chose to ignore him. The demon king was a complete outlier and couldn't be used as a proper measurement."My king," Gloria said, dra
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 96: Glitch
Caleb narrowed his eyes at the screen, suspicion and doubt gleaming in them. If the system were a person, it would be sweating right at that moment. Something didn't seem right. For a moment, there had been a strange phenomenon that he could only describe as a glitch. The world had literally spazzed out like a game, encountering a bug or crashing before it went back to normal.He had asked the system what that was, but the system had acted oblivious to what he was talking about. There was no way the system couldn't have possibly noticed. It must have seen something. Unfortunately, it was quite tight lipped about the whole affair, and he wasn't sure why. Well, if the system was going to refuse to answer, he needed to find out himself.The problem was that he had no clue where to start. It wasn't like he had a surplus of people with whom he could talk about these matters, for several reasons. One of them was people thinking he was crazy. Honestly, he wouldn't blame them. It did sound ri
