Luke thought about what the demon king meant. He must be referring to using more of the demon's system's features. So far, he had used it sparingly to avoid drawing too much attention from the angels. Despite everything they had done to keep the angels from noticing them, he still felt cautious about using it so much in public.The only features he had really used were looking at the quest notifications, going through the slave information, and checking the list of people he had. He hadn't touched any of the other features since the first time he had seen what it had to offer, way back in the beginning, when they had been first summoned there. However, he couldn't see how using the system more would change anything.[That's where you're wrong.]Crossing his arms, Luke said, "Tell me more."[You have already seen the sections regarding slaves, servants, harem members, and an army. A demon king can't truly be called a demon king if he doesn't have demons to rule over. Right now, you hav
"Why are the demons attacking now?" a guard cursed as he tried to fight off a demon.If only those darn heroes had done their job right, then none of them would be in this mess. No, they didn't even deserve to be called heroes. He bet they were the reason why the demons were attacking in the first place. Some people had caught one of the so called heroes working with demons and killing people. Then other witnesses saw the same person escape prison with the help of demons.This was obviously their way of retaliating against the town for rightfully imprisoning them. The thought of those fake heroes made him grit his teeth. Whoever thought to let them in should be punished, but that was only if he had survived. As he finally killed the demon attacking him after much difficulty, he spotted the target of his ire leisurely walking through the town, like people weren't dying because of him."I'll kill you," the guard declared as he launched himself at the fake hero.He didn't even last a sec
Knowing that the demon king was right, 'Theodore' left the people to destroy themselves and for the demons to finish off what was left, though he doubted the demons would wait that long. Already he could hear them pouncing on the defenseless people. Their screams of agony filled the air as he continued on with the next part of his plan.He still had some time before he could get rid of the demons, and he could take this opportunity to raid the mayor's house. The man would undoubtedly have some valuable items in his possession as well as gold, and it would be a waste to leave it in the hands of a dead man. There were other places he could target too, but it would depend on how long it took him.Moving at a pace that was neither slow nor fast, he found himself standing in front of the mayor's house in no time. His eyes glanced around, and he saw there were quite a few dead bodies. The people must have thought to run to the mayor's home for protection or help, but they either had been ke
The first place he should check would obviously be the mayor's office. Even if the items weren't there, he would find clues or possible useful information there. 'Theodore' didn't think for a second that the mayor would have clean hands and might have some connections with the black market. He only took a few steps forward before his disguise came off."So it's been ten minutes," Luke commented to himself.Luke had forgotten about the time limit and thought to himself that his speed must have greatly increased considering how much distance he traveled and how much he accomplished in that time. Fortunately, he didn't need to keep pretending to be 'Theodore' though it had only been his face that had changed. If anyone had been really paying attention, they would have noticed he was physically smaller.If they had, then they would have realized he was a fake and called him out on it. Of course, it wouldn't be something ordinary citizens would look for, as none of them would have thought
Luke pried open the floorboard to find a stash of gold and papers. He frowned at the sight. It wasn't that he didn't like the sight of gold or evidence of the mayor's corruption, but it was strange that the mayor would leave all of it behind. The mayor had clearly combed through his office for things to take with him, unless someone else had gotten here first.It couldn't be the demons, as they wouldn't care about such things. The message he received from the demon king the moment he thought of them all but confirmed it. They would probably thrive on someone stumbling upon the mayor's secrets, as it would create chaos if people found out the mayor was dealing in the black market. After all, people saw the black market as something connected to demons.Another possibility was that it could have been the mayor's enemies that had ransacked the place to either get rid of or find evidence. While this possibility was high, he hadn't noticed any strong people in the town. Of course, it was p
Out of all the people he could have encountered, he had to bump into Violet. When he first saw her, he had frozen up in shock. Of course he had recovered quickly, but it was undeniable that he had been stopped cold at the sight of her. There was no mistaking her light brown hair and dark blue eyes, as well as her young appearance. However, what he couldn't understand was what she was doing here, of all places.It made no sense for her to be breaking into the mayor's home to steal from him. If it had been to steal something from a demon, he would understand, but even then it would still be a bit iffy. Stealing wasn't exactly something angels would approve of. Perhaps she might have recieved a quest about protecting the mayor and was simply fighting him to complete her quest.The problem was that there were too many things wrong with the situation for that to be possible. For one, she was alone. She was the one whose party had only four 'heroes' in it. There were also the knights they h
Luke grimaced at the thought of touching her. While he was certain she would wake up in the middle of the act, it was still a distasteful act. He had no interest in stripping her down, nor was he interested in her in that way, but he had no one to rely on for this task. He was all on his own. With a sigh, he started taking off her clothes as he scanned for any items that might be brainwashing her.Violet groaned as she regained awareness for the first time in what seemed like months. It wasn't that she had been asleep or unconscious for a long time, but it had felt like she had been watching her life play out from the sidelines. She had watched as her body moved against her will and did things she would have never done of her own free will.All of it started when her party and the knights had been told to see the princess before they left for Sahgar. Nothing about it had seemed out of the ordinary. It made sense that the princess would want to speak with them before they traveled outs
"Excuse me?" Violet demanded."I'm not talking to you," Luke said absentmindedly. "There's no way I will do something like that. It's far too soon after the last one. I'm completely against it."[Making her a part of the harem couldn't possibly hurt. You have already said it yourself that you're open to having more girls added to your harem.]"I only said I would be open to having more women added to my harem because Tracy was basically forced on me. Also, I had already said I would limit the number of women who could join. I'm not going to just add her to the harem just because it's convenient," Luke said as he waved in Violet's direction."Excuse me?" Violet shrieked.Luke had almost forgotten about her. This was going to be a problem. He had gotten used to speaking to the demon king out loud, even though they could communicate nonverbally. She must be completely confused about what he was talking about. What should he do? While he could come up with a lie, it was probably best to t
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,
