They hadn't even tried to pretend that they weren't keeping an eye on him ever since they received the quest. It would have been insulting if he had cared about what they thought. Right now, the only thing he cared about was getting this quest done.
Even though Theodore seemed to be behaving himself so far, Luke kept checking on him just in case. He still hadn't forgotten the last few times where Theodore thought he could run off on his own. It didn't leave a good impression on him or give him confidence to let Theodore out of his sight for even a second. For all he could know, the moment he looked away, Theodore might somehow encounter a demon.
Daring to look away for a moment, he checked on the rest of the group and the cara

"Guys," said Bobby, which stopped the group dead in their tracks after they had bid farewell to the caravan. "Is it just me, or is the system not saying the quest is complete?"At his words, everyone in the party noticed that they hadn't received a notification that told them that they had completed the quest and what rewards they would receive. The caravan was already in the town, which was why they had gone their separate ways. Otherwise, they would have stuck with the caravan. The quest should have been over, and they should have already been given their rewards."Maybe the rewards are being delayed," suggested Chris.No one else had a better answer for it, but Luke knew better. The system would never delay in informing them of changes to a quest. It was better at keeping them informed compared to the natives and angels. If it said a quest was not co

The group should have known better to jinx themselves. Even though they had parted ways not that long ago, there wasn't a single trace of the caravan. It was mind boggling that such a large group could vanish into thin air. This only stressed the fact that something fishy was really going on with the group, except for Luke, who was more concerned about finding the caravan in time.They were obviously under an illusion to keep them from finding the caravan. The question was why the prophets were going through so much trouble to keep them separate. They had no idea what was in the caravan except that it was supplies sent by the princess. Luke hadn't been able to get any answers out of the princess since she hadn't been calling on him to visit her.It was slightly concerning, as there was a high chance this meant she no longer wanted to involve herself with him. It would ruin a good majorit
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 149: Failing a Quest (1)
[Quest][Protect the Caravan][You have failed to protect the caravan from demons until it reached its destination.]Luke didn't think he would see the party fail a quest with him leading it in this life. In the previous life, failure in the earlier quests wasn't surprising. They were still getting used to things, and failure didn't always automatically mean death or horrific scarring. That didn't mean they didn't receive a penalty or punishment for failing them, but the consequences weren't as severe. As they had matured, failure hadn't been an option.Now the party was facing their first failure, and Luke wasn't sure what the party would expect. He didn't have time to worry about the caravan, as it was already too late if they were receiving the notice now. Everyone in the caravan was undoubtedly dead, and trying to find them would be pointless. At best, they would find their corpses and what remained of the supplies."Damn it," said Bobby as he kicked a nearby wall.Chris clenched

Today was just not their day. No one had time to prepare themselves before their punishment was assigned to them. The knights watched helplessly from the sidelines, as there was nothing they could do for them. They hadn't even known the system was enacting the penalty until the party had frozen in place before falling to the ground like their strings were cut.The knights hesitated before approaching the fallen heroes to see if they were still alive. They confirmed that they were still breathing and were only unconscious. It was similar to what happened to a previous party, except they hadn't collapsed from pain. With no idea on how to handle the situation, the knights did the only thing they could do, which was to gather the heroes up and try to find a safe place.['Luke Hellwalker' will relive a dark memory and have his stats temporarily reduced.]

[You're a fool to think the system will let you do something like that.]"Weren't you the one who said you would help me get my revenge?" asked Luke as he manage to break through and cut down several people.[That's right. I suppose there's no helping it.]"What can you tell me about this punishment?" Luke asked as he made his way past his fallen enemies to find another place to rest.[Other than what you already know, not much, as I'm not completely sure how similar the two systems work. You already know the way for the punishment to end.]Yes, he knew. The most obvious way for the punishment to end was for him to go through the same exact events and let things play out like they had last time. However, he wasn't going to go through with it. He had already experienced the pain of dyi
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 152: Breaking Through the Illusion (1)
Luke waited for the system to bring him back to everyone else. His real body should still be back where he left it, along with everyone else, since it was only his mind that the system had grabbed. That was unless the system thought to assign the others a different punishment that would physically send them away. If that were the case, then they would have a serious issue.That would mean they would be short on people when they were attacked by the demons and prophets, because he didn't doubt for a second that they would be attacked. However, that wouldn't be the only problem. Sometimes the system wouldn't return them back to where it originally grabbed them from. It was part of the punishment to find their way back. Hopefully, this wasn't the case for them this time if the system did decide to remove one or more members from the group.When the system finally returned him to his group, he saw several things that told him that things had gone wrong. One was that he was the first perso
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 153: Breaking Through the Illusion (2)
Unfortunately, Luke wasn't sure how to accomplish this task under these circumstances. He didn't exactly have a skill that would allow him to break illusions. Warriors didn't normally have any skills or abilities that would allow them to deal with anything that involved magic. There were some exceptions, but they were just those rare exceptions.In this case, they would need a mage or an assassin to handle this, which were the classes they didn't have in their group. He shouldn't have allowed Grace to convince him to let Theodore into the group. However, there was nothing he could do about it now. All he could do was try to come up with a solution so they could get out of the mess they were in.A grunt drew his attention, and he was relieved to see Theodore sitting up. At least there was one less person to worry about protecting. If it was only Bobby and Chris that were unconscious, they
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 154: Rescuing Grace (1)
Luke got help from someone unexpected, as Boyd said, "We don't need to rely on them to search for Grace. We can find her without their help."The last person Luke had expected to speak up was Boyd, considering his background. Out of the five knights, Luke considered him to be the least reliable because of his womanizing ways and how he hadn't shown any commendable behavior thus far. He had also shown that he was quick to abandon people if he thought it wasn't worth it, so why was he acting so confident they could do it without their archers?"How do you suggest we do that?" asked Santiago. "This forest is huge. She could be anywhere.""They couldn't have gone far. The goblins wouldn't be able to carry her unless they had a huge group. It would also have drawn attention," Boyd said.That wasn't true, which was what Luke

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'

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.

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.

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,
