Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 99: Being Sneaky
Caleb was a bit surprised at how easy it was to sneak into the invading demon force. It was almost like he was invisible to them, and he hadn't even activated any of his skills yet. Of course, it might have to do with his size. He was tiny compared to the majority of the demons that were focused on getting to their destination. Why would they pay attention to the critter running underfoot?He was also careful not to end up directly underneath any of their feet and risk the chance of being crushed or drawing their ire. Being small really did have its advantages, and he was sure that he would be able to successfully complete his task without fail. However, he was still concerned about the rest of his followers. How were they doing?Looking at the map, he could see where they were, but he couldn't see what was happening and could only make guesses about their condition. Fortunately, it looked like some of his followers had been found, considering the number of green dots next to each oth
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 100: Tracking Down Another One
Caleb should have known things wouldn't go as smoothly as he would have liked. He had actually been very lucky so far that nothing big happened sooner since everyone else that had come with him was bigger than him. They should have been spotted a lot sooner. The only reason he could think of was that the other demons thought they were part of the group.Whatever the case may be, his second task was currently in jeopardy. If any of his followers got found out, it would be impossible to avoid a confrontation, much less complete the second task. He had to do something fast. However, he had no clue how to do that. There weren't exactly many options available to him, and he didn't even know the context for the demons' suspicions.Glancing at the demon rat beside him, he debated whether it was worth pushing it to force its way through the crowd of demons to meet up with the troublemaker. He quickly shook his head of those thoughts. That would only make a bigger mess. Any suspicious move the
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 101: Dealing With Keith
The first thing Caleb did was to run up the unconscious demon rats so that he was now standing on Keith's nose. There was no reaction from Keith, which was expected, but he still had to try to wake him up. Pressing his paws on Keith's eyelids, he lifted them up and stared into Keith's eyes. Again, there was no reaction, which meant he was completely on his own.Dropping Keith's eyelids with a huff, Caleb scanned his surroundings. There had been no notifications from the system about being regarded as suspicious, and none of the other demons passing by seemed to notice his presence. He must have really looked like nothing to them if they didn't even bat an eye at the sight of a small demon rat standing on another demon rat's nose.Caleb shook his head and stared at Keith. Keith wasn't going to be any help in this situation, which meant the simplest method for getting out of this mess wasn't an option. If Caleb could have just woken him up, then Keith could just walk on his own, and tha
Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race Chapter 102: Found Some More Demon Rats
"So you're saying that when you arrived, you saw the demons, and instead of retreating, you decided it would be a good idea to join the march to find out more?" Caleb asked, hoping he would get a different answer."That's correct, my king," Keith said in an instant.Caleb nearly screamed, but he forced himself to remain calm as he asked, "You also decided that splitting up was the best option to learn more and to take care of the task I assigned you, correct?"At Keith's eager nodding, Caleb groaned as he covered his face with his paws. Sometimes he questioned whether the stats listed were actually accurate. Otherwise, how would it explain Keith's Intelligence stat of thirty? The number wasn't there just for decoration. Keith is supposed to have Uncommon intelligence. How was anything he just said intelligent?He wanted to berate the demon rat for making so many blunders, but this wasn't the time and place. If they managed to get out of the mess in one piece with no trouble, he would
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
