2024-10-29 19:42:56Princess Lera smiled as she said, "Congratulations to our heroes for their victory over the demons."
The crowd cheered as the princess inwardly fumed over what happened. Nothing had gone as she had expected. Of course, it was expected that some people would be eliminated from the running. It was impossible for it not to happen, but she hadn't expected someone to be taken out within minutes of being sent to fight the demons. She was embarrassed to see him return.
It didn't matter that the hero was only 12 years old. They had already gone through extensive training, and it irked her to see how she made her lose face in front of her people. The only good thing was that this information was contained within the kingdom. She wouldn't be able to bear it if other countries caught wind of how horrible the heroes in country did in comparision to their heroes.

"Are you really okay?" asked 'Kayla' as she watched Grace stand up and stretch."I'm perfectly fine," she insisted. "It just feels like I crashed after staying up too late to study for a test."Luke had to admit that she had made an odd comparison. While he did think she might be awake when he made the decision to visit her, he hadn't expected her to be up and ready after what happened in the cave. It was completely unreal how fast she recovered, no matter how amazing magic was. Magic wasn't a perfect cure all for everything, despite what some people believed.Even the healers that had been treating her were staring at her like she was some kind of monster. He couldn't bring himself to blame them. If he didn't know her so well, he would be afraid to go near her. He considered asking the demon king for answers on why she recovered so quickly, but the dem
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 103: After Tournament Talks (2)
The princess calmly stared at Luke over the rim of her teacup. She had wanted to speak with him earlier, but there had been many other things she needed to deal with, and their talk wasn't essential. However, even though this talk wasn't as important as the other matters she was dealing with, she had wanted to demand answers from him right away about certain matters, like how he failed to get into the top five. She had been ready to praise him and make a show of how she was supporting him in front of the masses.Those plans were ruined when she couldn't find his name in the top five. What was worse was that the man who had undermined her authority before had managed to get a tie for first place. She had never been so insulted before. If she didn't have an image to maintain, she would have thrown a fit and ordered something to be done about the results. Unfortunately, it was already too late since everyone had seen it.Keeping her mask on, she chose to redirect her focu
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 104: Guilt Tripping Theodore
"Hey," someone shouted across the room.Luke stopped in the middle of his conversation with 'Kayla' to see who was calling for him even though he already had a decent idea of who it was. Theodore was making his way towards them with obvious intent in every step he took. He probably intended to finish their conversation from earlier. However, the dark expression on his face indicated that he was not in the mood to deal with Luke.Whatever went down between Theodore and the princess had soured his mood. Well, it wouldn't be that hard. The two of them despised each other, and the only reason they were meeting at all was because the princess had to keep her image. It would be bad if she refused to meet the first place winner but met someone who wasn't in the top five. That was fine with him. Maybe he could discover what they have been talking about and see if he could use that information fo
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 105: Obtaining a "New" Item
As Luke had predicted, the giant goblin's corpse was presented to them not long after his discussion with Theodore. Theodore wasn't there himself, as he had left the transportation to the natives to handle and wasn't interested in seeing them again or, more specifically, Luke. The said natives were eyeing them strangely, probably wondering why they needed to transport the corpse to them instead of processing it right away.He ignored them in favor of inspecting the corpse. It was pretty damaged from the fight, but that wasn't his concern. Instead, his eyes were studying the giant goblin's intact stomach. Whisphersong should be inside the stomach unless the item had merged into a different spot, which he doubted heavily."Can you cut right here?" he asked the natives as he pointed to the stomach.There was no point in doing it himself if he could ask the
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 106: Forming the Parties (1)
Studying the group before him, Sir Gilbert was impressed with how far they had gotten. In the beginning, he thought that they would never be able to reach the necessary level needed to start hunting down demons before a year had passed. Of course, it was a bit disappointing that it took a couple months to get to this point, but it was far better than his projected predictions."You have done well these past few months," he declared. "Now, I think it's time for you to officially create your own parties."At his declaration, many were excited and fearful to hear this. He had mentioned before that they would need to form parties before they set off to fight demons. It was a relief for many that they wouldn't have to set it out alone. However, the fact that he was bringing it up now meant they were going to be sent to the front lines soon. The majority of them didn't feel ready for this desp
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 107: Forming the Parties (2)
Luke failed. He wasn't sure how she did it, but she managed to include Theodore in their party. Everyone else had formed their own parties, so he couldn't just foster him out to another. Bobby and Chris looked just as confused as if they weren't sure what just happened. Actually, Theodore also looked just as befuddled. The only one seemingly okay with the situation was Grace, who looked like a cat that caught the canary.Even 'Kayla' was giving them a strange look from where she was. If it were any other time, she would have come over already to see what was going on. Well, whatever. He wasn't sure how, but he would somehow find a way to make use of this. He would do it. For now, he was going to wait and hear what Sir Gilbert had to say about the newly formed parties.Sir Gilbert studied the six newly formed parties. Two of them had six members, but he let it slide. He did say that the p
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 108: The Party’s First Quest
[Quest][Patrol the Kingdom's Capital][To keep the kingdom safe, a patrol must be sent out to investigate all the corners of the kingdom and slay any demon that they might encounter.][Patrol the farmland located in the south of the kingdom's capital for the entire day and ensure the food supply is not damaged. Kill any demons that you might find.][You will be rewarded based on your performance.]Looking at the quest description, it was just as he thought. It was a simple patrolling quest, though not in the same place as his previous life. That was reasonable. He couldn't expect everything to be exactly the same. However, this meant that they would need to find a map or get some direc
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 109: Patrolling the Farmland
Luke and Theodore walked silently through the farmland, passing by the natives, who ignored their presence outside of an occasional glance. If things kept going this way, the quest would end uneventfully, which would be a good thing, but Luke hadn't gone this far without being cautious. He would rather avoid a repeat of what happened during the tournament.Speaking of the tournament, there hadn't been any sabotage like he had been worried about. That either meant Laurel was successful in her attempts to persuade the demons not to attempt anything or there were other factors at play. He would need to investigate, which was currently difficult for him at this time. Later, when he had more freedom, he could go through with his investigation.However, by then, things could have changed drastically. He couldn't do anything about it unless they miraculously received a quest that would allow th

Author's Note
Hello everyone. I just want to thank all my readers who have been following along so long. Luke's story has ended unless readers are interested in a sequel. Also, there are several things that I want to let you know. I have some news for all of you. In case some of you didn't know, I hd started a new book titled Rise of the Demon King: Caleb Gonzales's Rat Race which can be found here: https://www.meganovel.com/story/Rise-of-the-Demon-King-Caleb-Gonzales-s-Rat-Race_31000555550. It's set in the same world as my current book. It's kind of a prequel to Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge, but you can read it as a parallel or alternate universe if you like. As such, you might see some of the same characters who act differently from what you remember so I hope there's no confusion. For those interested to know more about the new book, here's the synopsis: When Caleb Gonzales woke up in the video game he last played, he expected things to go down like they did in those web

Chapter 389: The End
"The clean up is doing well," 'Kayla' said as she stood before Luke, who was sitting on the throne.Instead of responding to her, he gave a nod before looking to the next person. The corners of his mouth twitched as he wanted to frown. The previous demon king's women were staring at him, waiting patiently for him to finish his work. He didn't know what Mildred said to them, but they were all now convinced that they should try to seduce him.[They are strong women, so you shouldn't have any complaints about adding them to your harem.]Luke was unamused by the demon king's words. He knew very well that Luke hadn't been interested in building a harem. It was really bad enough that he had four women to contend with. Speaking of them, the quartet came walking into the throne room, with Grace taking the lead. She was looking well despite having only recovered yesterday."Luke, are you still in your meeting?" she asked as Tracy, Violet, and Ruth kept to her sides.Standing up, Luke said, "It'

Chapter 388: To Go Home or To Stay (2)
Everyone stared in disbelief. How were they supposed to react to this sudden reveal? They had expected it to be a big deal because of the system's threat, but this was way behind anything they could have imagined. Luke distracted himself from the implications to assess everyone's reactions. Chris's mouth had dropped open while Bobby looked ill.Violet, on the other hand, was doing a good job keeping herself together, though it was just barely. Her fists were clenched, with her nails digging into her palm. Theodore was the only odd one out. He was quickly shocked by the information, but he appeared to be the calmest of the bunch. Luke couldn't decide if that was a good or bad thing as he returned his attention back to the system.Chris ended up being the first to break the silence. "You can't be serious."[The system assures the user that it is quite serious.][The users should confirm their desire as soon as possible. There are only five open spaces.]The party had barely recovered fr

Chapter 387: To Go Home or To Stay (1)
Luke couldn't believe it. The creator had actually been telling the truth when they said they could go home if they did enough to entertain them. He should be happy, but he was strangely numb about the reward. Perhaps it was because he had become used to the idea that he would never see his family again. That was why hearing the contrary left him with conflicted feelings."We can go home," Chris said in awe.A quick look at his party members was enough to tell Luke how overjoyed they were at the idea. After Luke had told them it was impossible, they had been resigned to never return back to their family and friends. It was why they had so willingly joined his side and turned their backs on the angels. However, a part of them had hoped that Luke was wrong."I wonder how everyone's been doing," Bobby said.Chris wrapped his arms around him and said, "I can't wait to see everyone."Violet had a soft smile, while Theodore only grunted. It should be a happy moment, but Luke was too used to

Chapter 386: The End of the Creator (3)
It couldn't understand what was happening. The creator could feel itself being torn away from its vessel against its will. This couldn't be happening. It was the creator. Everything went exactly as it wanted. There was no way it could lose to a human that had been originally brought into this world as nothing more than a tool. However, despite its efforts, it was being forced out by the sword in its chest.What was it? It couldn't be an ordinary weapon. Even when it was being injured, it had only been because the creator allowed it. Otherwise, the people wouldn't be able to actually harm it. Reaching out towards Luke and the sword again, it felt the sword pulse. Suddenly, the creator found its unable to move. An invisible force was keeping it from moving.The creator couldn't believe it. Such a thing had never happened before. The only possible reason that the creator could think of was that the sword contained a fragment of its power. However, that couldn't be it.

Chapter 385: The End of the Creator (2)
The creator's eyes rolled upward, and he spotted Takisha standing on its neck. Takisha didn't waste a second to bite her teeth in the creator's throat. She grimaced at the vile taste filling her mouth. Considering this was supposed to be the creator possessing a human, she would have thought the blood would taste delicious. Instead, it was probably the most disgusting blood she had ever tasted.Takisha wasn't even sure it was blood. Dirt tasted better than this. However, she focused on injecting her venom into the creator. A shadow loomed over her as the creator raised a hand to rush her. She didn't immediately run, and her faith was rewarded when vines and thorns wrapped around the creator's hand. Blood spilled from where the thorns pierced its skin.Of course, this wasn't enough to stop it for long. The creator ripped free, but its attention had been successfully redirected to Mildred, who unleased several arrows in its direction before running. It deflected them and rushed to crush

"You idiot," Tracy said as she punched Chris in the face."Ow! What was that for?" Chris demanded as he covered his face with a hand."That's for acting like an idiot," she snapped.Luke, Mildred, and Bobby stared at the bickering duo before Mildred turned to Luke and asked, "Are they...""No," Luke and Bobby immediately said.She glanced back at the duo and said, "Really?""They might act this way, but I assure you that Chris isn't her type," Bobby said as he waved a hand in front of himself. "She's already in a relationship with Luke.""I see," Mildred said. "It seems like I have competition."Bobby choked and Luke froze up as the duo finally stopped fighting and Tracy asked, "Wh

The creator was beginning to grow bored. Luke had disappeared off to who knew where, leaving them to deal with the rabble. None of them stood a chance against them. Of course, Luke being there wouldn't have changed much either, but this was supposed to be a game between them. If he wasn't there, then what was the point?They were debating whether they should cut the game short and simply end things when they heard a familiar voice shout, "Move!"Instantly, the creator raised a clawed hand to catch the arrow that had been shot in their direction. Their eyes spotted a familiar dark elf notching another arrow into her bow. So it looked like Luke had rescued the women that they had knocked out. They could have simply killed them and been done with it, but the creator had ultimately decided not to bother.Who would have expected that Luke would go rescue the

"What's this?" Luke muttered as he stared at the emergency quest.Luke never expected the system itself to give out a quest to defeat the creator. He would have thought it would be on their side since it was created by the system. Perhaps it saw the creator as a threat and wanted them to be dealt with. It sent shivers down his spine to see the quest, and he looked up to see that the others in the room were also reading a message from the system."Did you also receive the same quest as me?" he asked, though he already knew the answer."What's this nonsense?" demanded the succubus. "Defeat the creator? I've never heard such a thing.""There has to be a mistake," the dark elf said as she crossed her arms. "Why would we fight against our creator?"Laurel looked towards Luke and demanded,
