"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
Violet eyed Luke warily. It wasn't as simple as he was making it seem. There was no way the demons would leave of their own accord that easily. From her own experience, she knew very well how demons could be unrelenting in a fight. He had to have done something to make them retreat, and it had to be something significant considering how quickly it happened.She was sure that no more than a few minutes had passed since he had gone ahead and for her to arrive at the scene. In that time, he had somehow gotten rid of the demons without so much a scratch on himself and without leaving any bodies behind. If that was the case, she wondered if he had somehow bargained with them to leave them alone.As soon as she thought of this, she immediately threw it out the window. There was no way that could happen. She was more likely to believe he was powerful enough to leave no remains of the demons behind than that happening. In this world, only the strong could survive. The weak had to either obey
Tracy was beginning to wonder what she was doing here. Of course, she actually did know what to do, but it was honestly a chore going along with Luke's plans and playing nice with the demons while he went off to do his own thing. She had already walked past several people screaming and begging for help on her journey through the decimated town.While she was no stranger to killing, it was still an uncomfortable feeling. That's why she left most of the fighting and killing to the demons while she hung back. However, she did have to defend herself several times as people attacked her, thinking she was a werewolf and the one ordering her around. Apparently, fighting with daggers somehow cemented the idea.She wondered if most people were this dumb and how the demons hadn't managed to utterly wipe out the human race by now. The angels had to somehow be tilting the system in their favor if the majority of people she encountered were this bad. It would explain why they summoned heroes all t
"Damn human," a demon said as he launched himself into the air. "Don't get cocky."Suddenly, the demon vanished. However, Luke was unfazed by the sight, as he knew the demon was simply using his illusion magic to hide himself from view. It was a cheap way of using his magic. There were other ways he could have used his illusion magic. If it was Zona or Tracy, they might be able to trick him into thinking there were more demons coming to kill him instead.That would have been a better use of the illusion magic. Well, he wasn't going to reject the easy fight the demon was giving him. While he might not see where the demon was, he had other ways of figuring out where he was. He stayed in place before he suddenly swung his blade upward. Blood splattered down on him as the demon became visible once again."Is that your best? I've seen better," Luke mocked as he glanced up at the demon impaled on his sword.The demon spat blood as he clawed at the sword piercing his stomach. "Damn human."W
It was completely unbelievable. The trio of demons couldn't believe that they had been duped like that. When they had been approached by the duo, they had been rightfully suspicious. Normally, demons were the ones to approach humans, not the other way around. That wasn't to say that there weren't cases where humans did reach out to demons. It was just that those cases were rare.Also, they could tell that the duo weren't normal humans, especially the male. They had been on edge but were willing to hear them out. If they hadn't liked what they said, they had figured they could kill them easily. Never in their wildest imagination did they think they would be approached by heroes. The very idea had been ludicrous, but the duo claimed they were undoubtedly heroes.They had considered the possibility that these humans were those who had been brainwashed or convinced into thinking that they were heroes. These occurrences weren't as uncommon as they would have liked, though they had never en
"Well, let's finish what we started," Luke said as he drew his sword and threw himself at them.The two demons immediately broke away to get away. However, they were still caught up in his attack. Small, shallow cuts appeared on their bodies. As the two demons were hissing in pain, Luke, who had already decided who he should target first, rushed at the succubus. The incubus was already injured and wouldn't be able to get very far, especially with an injured wing.The succubus, on the other hand, was in a far better condition. He needed to deal with her before she ran away again. Also, she seemed to have an actual brain compared to the incubus. Seeing him coming after her, the demon clicked her tongue and jumped into the air to avoid his swing. Then she followed it up with a kick to the face.Luke's head jerked to the side to avoid the attack, and he swung his sword upwards to attack her. She immediately spun out of the way and landed on all fours on the ground. The incubus, who stood
After a few moments of hesitation, the two women withdrew their daggers and backed away from him. Luke breathed a sigh of relief that he wouldn't have to fight the two of them. While he didn't think he couldn't handle them, he would prefer to avoid them if possible. Now he needed to figure out what to do with Violet. After they parted ways, he didn't think he would see her again.His luck must be really bad for him to not only bump into her but for her to be fighting Tracy, of all people. It would have been one thing if he encountered her fighting demons or helping people. It was another for her to have gotten entangled with one of the last people he wanted. The worst case scenario would have been that if she had encountered the party, then he would have been in really big trouble."It's good to see you again," Violet said.Luke couldn't tell if she was being serious or not. After all, he had basically abandoned her earlier when he left to look for the demons and hoped she would die i
After they walked a decent distance away, Tracy said, "Spill.""What?" Luke asked."I mean it. What's the deal with you two?" she asked."I don't know what you mean. We're both heroes, if that's what you're asking," he said."That's not what I'm talking about," Tracy said as she stopped in front of him, making him also stop in his tracks. "There seemed to be something between you two. Were the two of you perhaps lovers?"Luke stared blankly at her. What was going on in her mind for her to draw that conclusion? Nothing in their conversation indicated that they had that kind of relationship. All they did was greet each other briefly, share what amounted to be small talk, and then say their goodbyes. She was grasping at straws to jump to the conclusion that they used to date.
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,
