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

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
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 31: Having a Quick Lunch Break
"Thank you for the meal," Grace said as she accepted the sandwich from the servant.The servant bowed in return. "It's an honor to serve the heroes."Luke murmured a quiet thank you as he bit into his meal. 'Kayla' accepted the food with a look of disgust that the servants ignored. They had explored quite a bit of the place and occasionally bumped into some people as they saw what the training grounds had to offer. The only person who was remotely amazed by the place was Grace who kept asking questions they pretended to not know the answer to."Why don't you join us?" Grace asked as she indicated to the woman to sit down on the ground with them."I have to go back to work," the servant said before leaving."Are they really that busy?" she asked. "I mean there doesn't seem to be a lot of people here, and I can't imagine what they would need to do besides some cleaning."After swallowing his food, he said, "Who knows."Grace frowned bef
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 32: Impressing the Natives and Humiliating a Fellow 'Hero' (1)
"What's going on here?" a knight demanded.Just like he expected, people were trying to see what the commotion was about. A very small crowd was beginning to form, and he could see a few more people coming to see what was happening."Buzz off," Theodore snapped.The knight frowned. "Heroes shouldn't be fighting each other.""Did I say I want to hear you talk? I don't think so," he spat.The other knights shared grim expressions at his words. Despite that, none of them reached for their weapons or demanded he take his words back. His status as a hero was keeping their tongues in check and left them to endure his verbal abuse. This was perfect."Do you have no shame?" At the sound of a woman's voice, everyone turned to see said woman with her hands on her hips. She crossed her arms as she continued her rant. "You're despicable. Ever since we got here, all you've been doing is spewing out toxic words. Seriously, does picking fights with everyon
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 33: Impressing the Natives and Humiliating a Fellow 'Hero' (2)
Luke didn't get a chance to process what he had just read before he was forced to dodge another swing. He could feel the wind brushing against his cheek and hear his opponent ordering him to fight back, but his mind was too busy trying to figure out what was happening. He had just received a quest from the demon's system, right in broad daylight and in front of so many witnesses. While it was true that none of the humans could see the windows, that didn't mean the angels couldn't. To think he would be exposed too early. But was he? Not a single angel appeared to smite him. There was no way they would ignore such an obvious sign. Two reasons came to mind for why this was. One of them was that no angels were currently watching them, which was discarded the moment he thought of it. The idea that they weren't constantly monitoring them was ridiculous. The other reason was that they couldn't see the demon's system. Unfortunately, this wasn't the time to be thinkin
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 34: The Aftermath of the Match
"Y-you were amazing," said Grace after she and 'Kayla' managed to squeeze past the meager crowd. "Thank you, but I was lucky this time," he said as he took them away from the crowd. "Next time I might not be so lucky. I need to get better." 'Kayla' huffed. "Obviously. Seeing you stumble about was so embarrassing to watch." Though he was still smiling, he swore to punish her the moment Grace was out of sight. The sight of her uneasy expression was enough to tell him that she heard those particular thoughts. He hadn't yet determined how much of his thoughts she could 'd have to see what she could hear from him later tonight in his room. "I-I'll do better too. You can count on me," said Grace as she raised her clenched fists. While he hadn't intended for her to get fired up, he had no reason to put her down. "I look forward to seeing that." Grace beamed at him as if he had praised her even though all he said was he was interested in her p
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 35: Midnight Meetings and Plans
'Kayla' opened the door and closed it behind her. The time limit for her quest was going to end soon, and she hadn't managed to get them any closer. They had wasted time looking around like they were on some kind of date, and she had been the unfortunate person acting like the third wheel. This wasn't what she had been expecting after what he'd done to her the other night. Wasn't he planning to get revenge? Nothing he had done today showed he was acting on those desires except for when they had to listen to the kingdom's princess and knight. She wasn't sure what was going on in his head even with her ability to read his thoughts at times. "What are you doing? Come over here and sit on the floor," said Luke who sat on the bed. He looked exactly the same as yesterday, sending shivers down her spine. Doing as she was told, she approached him and stopped a few feet away from him. She hesitated for a brief moment before she kneeled before him. The same burning ang
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 36: Rushing to the Training Grounds
Grace sighed as she snuggled deeper into her soft bed. Her sleep was disturbed by someone throwing the door to her bedroom open. Jolting awake, she tugged the sheets closer to her body as she struggled to shake off her sleepiness. Standing at the door was Luke. "Wh-what are you doing?" she asked. "I'm here to make sure you get up on time. Hurry and get dressed. We should have time to have a light breakfast before heading to the training grounds," he said. Confused, she stared at her curtain covered window. "Is it time? It looks dark." "Of course it's still dark. It isn't dawn yet. Since it took us three hours to get there, I figured we might need a few extra hours because of how dark it is," he said before leaving her to get dressed. He leaned against the wall next to the door as he listened in. If she fell asleep again, he would have to go back in and wake her up. Hopefully, he wouldn't have to, and he waited patiently for her to show up.
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 37: The ‘Tutorial’ Punishment
[Warning][Comply with the designated mentor's instruction.][Failure to do so will result in a punishment.]"What is this?" demanded Theodore.He wasn't the only one to see the message. Everyone had a similar window pop up in front of them, warning them not to go against Sir Gilbert. Unfortunately, Theodore didn't seem to understand how serious it was."I was wondering if this thing was ever going to pop up again. What is it going to do to me? Tell me to behave," he said.Theodore wasn't wrong to think the system wouldn't do anything to them. Everyone so far had only seen their status screen and nothing else. They hadn't even seen the message regarding the 'Tutorial' quest. That privilege was reserved for Sir Gilbert since he was their mentor who had assigned the quest. Only he knew the full details of the quest. Even Lu
