2024-10-29 19:42:56Luke 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

Luke soon found Theodore facing off against something or rather, someone. Caught off guard, he watched as Theodore and Laurel faced off against each other. Well, at least he could say that this solved one of his issues. However, it brought its own set of problems. One of them being that this wasn't a good time for her to be showing up. The angels would undoubtedly know she was on the demon's side unless the Demon King had done a good job of hiding her identity.[Don't worry. The angels don't know she was one of my lovers.]While that was good news, it didn't change the important fact that she and Theodore were fighting each other. There was no good reason for a native to fight a hero unless they were up to no good or they didn't realize that the person they were fighting was a hero. The angels wouldn't allow him to let her go that easily without a very good reason, and even then, they wo
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 111: Regrouping With the Rest of the Party
"Do you think they're okay?" Grace asked as she looked in the direction that Luke and Theodore had gone in for like the hundredth time.Bobby waved her concern off. "You have nothing to worry about. They'll be fine."His words weren't enough to dissuade her. She felt a bit guilty for pushing Luke to accept Theodore into the party, but Theodore did give them the giant goblin's corpse and inadvertently gave her back the item Luke had gotten for her. Even though Luke insisted it wasn't her fault, she couldn't stop thinking about how she had messed up his plan. It was only through sheer luck that nothing went wrong.She would have to admit that Theodore had made her nervous ever since their first encounter, but the more she got to know him, the more it eased up. Obviously, her apprehension around him had not subsided, but he clearly cared and offered them a
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 112: A Healing Session and a Brief Explanation
Bobby and Chris helped Luke carry Theodore back to the castle walls, with Grace and Laurel falling behind them. Everyone else except for Luke would have preferred Laurel taking the lead or at least being within eyesight of all of them, but Theodore took first priority. Grace was busy casting healing magic on Theodore, but she would occasionally check on Laurel.Laurel, on the other hand, didn't seem to mind the suspicion directed at her. In fact, she was acting like this was an ordinary occurrence. Obviously, this didn't sit right with Bobby or Chris, but they remained silent for now. Once Theodore was good, they intended to confront her and Luke about what happened.The knights on guard stopped what they were doing and stared as the party passed them. Fortunately, they didn't try to stop them from going, and they did try to follow them and get answers. However, knowing the party was wil
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 113: Redirecting Suspicions
Everyone stared at Theodore in disbelief. He didn't add anything else and simply crossed his arms. That was the last thing Luke expected to hear him say. Was he some kind of animal? How could he just rely on his instincts? He had never heard of such a thing. Yes, there were people who had honed their instincts over many years, but that wasn't the case for Theodore.Bobby leaned toward Chris and whispered, "Is that really a thing?"Chris shrugged. "How would I know?"Laurel cleared her throat and said, "I assure you that I don't mean any harm. You must be mistaken."Theodore frowned but didn't argue, much to Luke's relief. He didn't want to have to deal with another fight so soon, especially in such close quarters. It would get very ugly very fast, and there was a high chance that everyone would get hurt, which
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 114: Learning More About Laurel
However, before he could ask, Theodore beat him to it. "What demons? Where?""You have nothing to worry about," Laurel said. "They're nowhere near close to the city. You wouldn't be seeing them."That wasn't enough for Luke to confirm whether or not this happened recently. It could mean that it was when she went to meet up with other demons to prevent the sabotage or it could be along the way she bumped into some. He needed more information to work with."Are you sure? How do you know that they wouldn't come here chasing after you?" asked Bobby."Well, for one thing, I got rid of the ones I encountered," she said bluntly.This didn't surprise Luke in the slightest, but everyone else stared at her in awe. Well, not everyone. It was mostly Bobby and Chris that were looking at her apprec
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 115: Laurel's Thoughts and Plans
Bobby was the first to recover, and he accurately described how everyone felt. "What the hell. That is kind of a big thing they should have told us."This was enough to get the others to chime in. All of them were variations on how did she know, why they hadn't been told, and what else the princess was hiding from them. Of course, Luke wasn't actively participating, preferring to watch things play out. Grace was also not saying anything and kept to herself. Luke wasn't sure if this was because she was afraid to speak up or because she had nothing to say.Eventually, Laurel had enough and said, "Don't bother asking me. I have no clue."The trio was reluctant to let it go. They wanted answers, but Laura was clearly not having any of it. She already had enough problems on her hands. After being rescued and leaving Luke and his party, she had gone to carry out Luke's request to prevent the sabotage of the tournament. Dealing with the demons that had wanted the sabot
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 116: Continuing the Quest
At his words, it jogged everyone's memory of what they should be doing. Honestly, he was a bit terrified that they could have forgotten so quickly, especially Grace. He had believed in her, and she let him down. Of course he shouldn't be holding it against them considering the bombshell Laurel dropped, but they couldn't afford to be so easily distracted in the future.The demons wouldn't give them time to recover their senses after being dealt a mental or psychological blow. In fact, the demons would lean into it and take advantage of their temporary weakness. They would either do more mental or psychological damage until the person's mind or spirit broke, or change tactics to attack them physically. None of those options were something he wanted to happen to his party this time.His party in the previous timeline had the unfortunate experience of dealing with such a case at the beginnin
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 117: Swapping Out the Patrols
Despite his intentions, the two of them ended up not talking to each other the whole time. Instead, she had been chatting with Theodore for some unknown reason. It irritated him to see her talking with the guy who had tried to beat her up at their first meeting. Wasn't she there to talk to him about important matters like the demons? So why was she speaking Theodore like she was having fun?If he didn't know any better, he would have thought she was flirting with Theodore. Even if she was, Theodore obviously had no interest in her as he scowled the whole time. Not once did he smile or drop the scowl during their entire conversation. It was honestly quite impressive that he could keep a disapproving look on his face even when he talked. That took some real dedication and showed just how much he disliked her."I think I see your friends," Laura said, indicating that she had effectively div

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

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,
