Fortunately, the issue with the knights was resolved quite easily. While they did indeed want to speak with her before allowing her to stay in the castle, the knights who spoke with her were apparently quite laidback. They only asked a few questions before allowing her to go free. It was oddly suspicious that they were willing to let her go so easily, but he wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth.Unfortunately, they had to go their separate ways. Since Tracy was cleared to go, she had to be shown to her room, which would undoubtedly be far from where their rooms were. This left Luke and Grace to find 'Kayla' on their own, as they promised to meet with Tracy later. The duo quickly tracked down 'Kayla' to inform her of the sudden meeting."I was expecting something like this," 'Kayla' said with a huff. "Where is that girl now?""She's being escorted to her new room," Luke said.'Kayla' gave them a dubious expression. "Are you sure about that? After all, it's not like she's a 'h

He was surrounded by strong women. Well, he supposed it was only natural considering one was an angel, one was a demon, and one had the potential to be a Saintess. The only person he couldn't check the stats of was Tracy. He knew it was possible to check a native's stats, as it had happened to Jon, her father.Luke surmised that the reason was that Jon had become his slave whil
"You do know I'm a demon, right?" Zona said as she pointed at herself after several brief moments of shocked silence."Of course I know that. I obviously mean we should speak with other demons and get their help," Luke said."I'm against the idea," 'Kayla' said."Your words are rejected," Luke said bluntly.'Kayla' glared at him, which he ignored. Her words couldn't be taken seriously, as she was an angel. She would obviously protest the idea of working with demons. If it had been one of the others who had brought up the complaint, he would have been a little bit more open to listening. Only just a little, since they would need a convincing argument why he shouldn't.Tracy raised a hand as she said, "I'm also against the idea. If you get involved with the demons, you'll be exposed.""I will have to eventually as I'm the new demon king," Luke pointed out."I hate to say this, but I agree," said Zona. "Your current power base is no good for convincing the other demons to listen to you.
As planned, Zona left to carry out her part of the plan while the others acted naturally. For the next couple of days, they roamed around the capital since the system had still not given them a new quest. It was actually quite concerning how long it was taking since they hadn't received one in a while, if they excluded the quests Grace and Luke had received."I, for one, am glad we don't have to deal with quests," said Bobby when the subject was brought up."Please don't jinx it," said Chris as he sat up.The party had decided that the best place for them to meet up and relax was at the training grounds. While a good chunk of the group would rather not spend so much time outdoors after Sahgar, there weren't many places for them to go to that would fit all of them and allow them to relax without incident. Cedric was still absent as he was busy with his fellow knights."What should we do?" Grace asked after she looked at each member of the party.Theodore said, "We wait for a new quest.
"This is all your fault," Bobby said as he pointed at Luke.Luke shrugged his shoulders. "It would have happened eventually."Bobby scowled, but he couldn't argue with that fact. Chris had already expressed his displeasure over receiving a new quest, but the rest of the party had simply accepted. Actually, Theodore had been excited and was eager for them to get started on it. Unfortunately, Cedric was still not going to come with them, but Tracy was going to go with them."I don't get the problem. The quest seems pretty simple," Tracy said.This caused Bobby and Chris to groan before Chris said, "That's because you can't see the quest description."[Quest][Dealing With Demons][Demons are running rampant and harassing people on the road.][Kill all the demons you encounter on your journey.][You will be rewarded based on how many demons you kill.]Admittedly, Luke was also a bit worried about the quest too. It was far too generic and open ended to be considered a proper quest. The wa
It took only a couple of days before the party ended up standing at the castle gates as they were about to leave the capital and head out on their journey. Despite how the others in the party hadn't been too eager to go except for Theodore, they had gotten restless and decided to leave right away. This time they intended to go in the opposite direction from Sahgar.They were going to head west to a town called Sylgen. It was much farther than Sahgar, but it was also the next closest town. There were only eleven towns and cities, which included the capital. To the east was only Sahgar, so there was no point going in that direction unless they intended to go to Sahgar to travel by boat to another town or city or even to another country.Considering how the capital had its own harbor, it would be quite pointless. Besides, not every town and city had a harbor, which meant they would be skipping out on a lot of places. Also, the quest specifically mentioned the road. The party had debated
Theodore swung his sword down and cut the demonic wolf in half. An arrow passed him by to strike another wolf in the head, killing it instantly. He huffed as he looked back to see Chris notching another arrow into his bow before he charged at another wolf. Bobby was doing the same from his location with Luke close by, fighting a wolf himself.Tracy was thrown off her feet near Grace, and she grappled with the demonic wolf before she plunged a dagger into the wolf with some difficulty. She grimaced as she shoved the demon off of her. Grace hurried over to her to check for injuries, but Tracy waved her off as she stood up. Soon there were no demons left, and the party gathered together."Seriously, what are the chances of us being attacked by demons an hour after we left the capital?" asked Chris as he rolled his neck."Were they possibly waiting for us?" Bobby asked."I highly doubt it," Luke said. "They're wolves. They don't have the ability to strategize like that. If it was somethin
Bobby collapsed face forward to the ground as he mumbled, "I can't take this anymore.""At least put up your sleeping mat," Chris said as he set up the mat to sleep for the night."I seriously can't take it anymore," said Bobby as he rolled onto his side. "It's like they're trying to kill us."Theodore scoffed as he said, "They're demons. Of course they want to kill us.""You know what I mean," Bobby said.The party did indeed know what he was talking about. It had only been a few days into their trip, and they had been attacked without fail by demons at least once a day. Most of the time, they were attacked two to three times a day, tiring the party out and making their trip slower. They weren't even halfway to their destination because of the constant attacks.Of course, there were several other reasons for this, like how they were walking on foot. They couldn't compare the last time they left the capital to their current trip, but the demon attacks certainly didn't help. At the rat
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
"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
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
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 Splinter that h
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,
