Servants rolled in with several trays that they set down on the tables for people to pick from. None of the food was actually impressive despite what the princess would have them believe. After living there for four years, he had quickly learned that they had served food that could be found in any tavern. They had only assumed that it was impressive simply because they were in the presence of royalty and none of them had access to such large portions before. The food in front of them could easily feed a large army.
Everyone still standing grabbed a seat as 'Kayla' hissed, "What was that about?"
"I was simply being polite. You can certainly learn something about being polite," he said as he placed some food onto his plate. "We should eat. Something tells me that what the princess has to say is important."

"Your concerns are not unfounded, but I don't intend to send you off without any help. That is why I'm here now," she said as she stood up and raised her arms up. "You may not know this, but you have been blessed by the angels to access something simply known as the system. With this system, you'll be able to fight against the demons, and I've been given a mission by the angels to ensure you know how to use it.""System?""What is she talking about?""Is this like a video game?""This is like a webnovel."There were two responses to her words: confusion and excitement. Confusion could easily be split into two groups. Those who had no clue what she was talking about and those who had some kind of idea but weren't sure.Luke had been in the later category. Playing video games was something most people his age did. Not everyone of course, but most people knew what a video game was or how it worked. He had played enough time with his friends to

[Hello, new user. You have been successfully integrated into the system. The information below are your current stats.

More information will be provided as the user progresses.][Luke Hellwalker][Strength: 8][Intelligence: 5][Stamina: 10][Endurance: 9][Dexterity: 4][Mana: 1]It was just like how he thought. His stats were the same as last time. It made sense that nothing would change since he returned to when he was freshly summoned. Even being changed into a demon king didn't change that though he did wonder about the logistics of it. How could he be the

[Grace Hill] [Strength: 4] [Intelligence: 3] [Stamina: 4] [Endurance: 5] [Dexterity: 4] [Mana: 9] Luke stared in disbelief as she outright lied to everyone about her stats with a straight face. No, not quite a straight face as her voice wavered, and she stuttered out her stats, but no one would think she was lying about her stats. At least not by saying they were lower than they actually were. She had essentially halved all her stats, making her appear to be the weakest person in the room. That wasn't true since he actually saw someone whose real stats were all below ten and lied about having be
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 26: The Start of the Mandatory 'Tutorial'
Gerald's eyes scanned the room as he studied the 'heroes'. This was the first time he'd seen a 'hero' before, and he wasn't sure what to think. None of them were like how he imagined them to be. Some of them looked like a simple gust would knock them down. He could see that he had his work cut out for him. Unfortunately, all he had to go on were the stories his grandparents told him. He had heard all kinds of tales about how they triumphed against the demons, bringing peace to the land. Almost none of them talked about their early days when they were new to the world. The last of the heroes from the previous generation died out more than 50 years ago. It was unfortunate what happened, but they died for a good cause. Sacrificing themselves to bring down the demon king was indeed hero worthy. If it weren't for the devious demon king's tricks, the demons would have been wiped out by now. Now it was up to them to end it this time. He had been preparing for this m
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 27: An Important Discussion With a Future Party Member
"Grace, we need to have a talk," Luke said once they had gotten a fair distance away from everyone. At his words, she jerked as if she didn't expect him to say such a thing and stopped in her tracks. Fortunately, it was only the three of them standing in the hallway, but that could easily change at any moment. It was best if they found a place to talk privately, and he knew several places for them to hide out for their conversation. After several moments of silence, she finally said, "I-I guess this has to do with my lying about my stats." "Yes, but I don't think we should have this conversation out in the open. Follow me," he said. They entered an empty room, and he indicated to 'Kayla' to use her abilities to hide their conversation from possible spies. Luckily, despite being turned into a human, she still had access to the abilities she had as an angel though they were much weaker. She would only be able to disguise their conversation for a few min
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 28: Getting Closer With Future Party Member
"Why should we tell you?" 'Kayla' asked, once again undermining his authority. He glared at her, conveying exactly how he felt about her actions. She shuddered before continuing. "You've already proven that you will lie.""Th-that's—" She didn't even get to finish her sentence before she mowed down."How can we possibly trust you? You think we're suspicious, but you're just as suspicious as us. Can you give us one good reason we should tell you anything?" 'Kayla' said as she jabbed her finger in Grace's direction.At his furious expression, she finally backed off. It looked like he hadn't realized anything yet, but she had already received her first quests since becoming a human. One was from her system while the other had come from his. She hadn't expected to receive a quest after losing her system but less one from the latter so when she had gone to her room to think about everything that happened, she nearly jumped out of her human skin at the sight of
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 29: A Trip to the Training Grounds
Seeing how out of breath Grace was, Luke said, "Let's take a short break.""N-No, *pant* I can *pant* keep going," she said as she leaned against a tree for support.He and 'Kayla' stared at her. She was obviously struggling to keep up. Honestly, it was impressive she had been able to keep at their pace despite never having to do such an intensive exercise. It was one thing walking on a sidewalk and another to traverse through a dense forest.Even he was breathing heavier from all the walking they did. His body was currently that of a teen whose only exercise was walking to school and playing some sports, and he assumed Grace was the same. It was only thanks to his stamina stat being slightly higher than hers that he wasn't in the same condition. He needed to quickly get his body back into shape.Actually, even 'Kayla' was a bit flushed despite being an angel. He supposed it couldn't be helped since she was currently no longer an angel, and her stamina st
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 30: Exploring the Training Grounds
Luke stared at the collapsed figure of his future party member. Grace was currently passed out from exhaustion. She had really not been prepared to travel another three miles and had actually lost all steam in the final mile to get there. He and 'Kayla' had to carry her the rest of the trip which was why it ended up almost taking another two hours to reach their destination.'Kayla' wasn't in the best shape herself considering how she was bonelessly resting against the wall. It was clear that the drop in her stats had gotten to her as she had mumbled to herself about how she had gotten so weak.He himself felt that his legs had turned to jelly and wasn't looking forward to the training that was planned the next day. It was going to be hell trying to get back into shape. Unfortunately, he didn't know any shortcuts for improving his stats outside of training and fighting demons.Scanning the training grounds, he saw that it hadn't changed much from what he remembe

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.

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,
