Grace scooted closer to him and whispered, "Do you know them?"
Luke didn't take his eyes off of the duo as they started relegating stories about their home lives after talking about their experiences in this world so far. They were part of the rare few who already knew each other before they were summoned. Both of them had been best friends since childhood and did everything together.
People had even mistakenly thought they were siblings or related in some way because of how close they were and their physical appearance. While Bobby had dark red hair and light green eyes, Chris had red hair and light brown eyes.
They had even pretended to be each other several times by simply wearing contacts. No hair dyes had been used, and they somehow managed to get away with it each time. So, in a weird twist of fate, of course they were summoned together even if their numbers on the list didn't reflect that.
Seeing how carefree they were reminded him of the last time

"Seriously, they do realize we are humans, right?" Without giving them a chance to answer, Bobby continued, "It's crazy how that old geezer expects us to complete his training. Not all of us are in shape to do most of the exercises, and even if someone could somehow do it, there's no way they could possibly be human." Chris crossed his arms and nodded. "I heard that we have some people in their late 30s. I even heard that one of the guys here is 42." That definitely caught both of them off guard. Luke knew that there were plenty of people on the older side. Joshua was one of them at age 37. He just couldn't see the reasoning behind summoning people that old. He had heard from someone that the physical peak age was in the late 20s to early 30s. That meant they should have aimed for that age range instead. There was even a child in their group. He wasn't sure how old they were, but he knew they didn't last long in the fight. Their death had been pretty gruesome
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 41: Second Day of Training
The second day of training wasn't any better, and he wasn't surprised in the slightest. One day wasn't enough to convince Sir Gilbert to change his strategy, which meant they had to suffer through another day of intense training. They had lost more people compared to the previous day. They probably couldn't get out of bed because their bodies had been so sore. Grace certainly had been one of the victims, and he had to drag her to the training ground, which meant they had unfortunately arrived late. Despite this, they had still managed to be one of the first people there. Sir Gilbert shook his head in disappointment at their efforts. He had expected them to work harder, not give up so easily. The threat of the punishment apparently hadn't been enough to convince some of them to show up on time or at all. There was definitely no way he could have them ready by the end of the year, much less by the end of the month. He would have to deliver the bad news to a princess an
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 42: Several 'Heroes' Down
"This is so embarrassing. I can't believe I passed out like that," Grace said as she covered her face. Fortunately, she had woken up a few hours later. Luke had only found out because he had asked the servants to let him know as soon as possible while he did some extra training, much to Sir Gilbert's delight. The man had been so happy to hear someone was taking the training seriously, though he had no idea that his extra training was just a ploy so he could go around unbothered. Everyone just assumed he was a workaholic. Chris and Bobby helped cement that attitude by exaggerating how he had been unbothered by today's earlier training. He hadn't been the only one worried about Grace. The natives had been just as concerned about her condition, though for a different reason than his. It would be bad if they lost a hero before they had even had a chance to send us off to fight the demons. Chris and Bobby had promised to visit and check up on her. Currently, it wa
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 43: New Training Plan
The moment Sir Gilbert announced that there were going to be changes in the training regimen, people cheered. Luke swore he heard someone sobbing in relief, not that he could blame them. Out of the 31 'heroes', only eight people had shown up. The top five, himself, and two others were the only ones who bothered to arrive on time. After checking up on Grace yesterday, he had later found out that a healer had come to see her condition and declared that under no circumstances was she to go to training today. She was pretty happy about it, but he had been concerned once he heard about it. Why wouldn't he when he had planned for her to be an important member of his party. That couldn't happen if she ended up crippling herself right off the bat. 'Kayla' had pointed out that whatever extra training she had done to boost her Mana stat might have pushed her body too far. While it was true that training the body didn't increase the Mana stat, how physically fit someone was det
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 44: Exploring the Castle Library
While the change in the training program was welcomed, it also had its cons. Under the current training regimen, it was guaranteed that they would always finish before or around lunch time. Then they would have the rest of the day to themselves. He had been using that opportunity to spend time with Grace and to integrate himself with the natives. With the new changes, he couldn't be sure if he would have time to act on his other plan. He would have to see it if he had gained enough trust to access the library and bring Grace along with him. They did their best to keep anything they didn't want them to know out of the library, but they couldn't get had to be some things they had missed hidden in there. Today might be his only chance to go inside. He wasn't sure when he would get the opportunity again. Knocking on the door to Grace's room, he waited to hear her consent before going in. She was sitting in her bed with nothing near her. Her hair was slightly tousled up,
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 45: Stumbling Upon a Hidden Secret in the Castle
If Grace had known this would happen, she would have never left her bedroom. She whimpered as she stepped on something and prayed it wasn't a cockroach or some kind of insect. Since it was so dark, she had no clue where she was going or how to get out of this mess she had stumbled into. She wasn't even sure how she ended up in this mess. One moment she was putting away one book to grab another one, the next she was in some dark place. She knew castles could have secret passageways, but she didn't expect to fall into one by pure chance. That just seemed like poor construction on the builder's part. If she ever met the person or found a way to contact them, she would file a complaint. She hoped that Luke would realize she was missing and come to find her, because she wasn't sure if she could do it all on her own. The sound of something moving stopped her in her tracks. That definitely wasn't her. She frantically scanned her surroundings for any indication of what was m
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 46: Mana Stones
Luke had never seen this many mana stones before. They practically covered the whole room. He wouldn't be surprised if the walls themselves were made of pure mana stone, given the sheer number of mana stones in front of him.Not only that, they were in all different colors, ranging from pink to clear to purple. He had only ever seen light blue mana stones whenever he encountered them with his party on their journey to defeat the demon king, and those rare occurrences only happened because the demons were trying to transport them to the demon king. They stopped them, of course, and presented it to the kingdom to be used.From what he knew, mana stones were highly sought after. He never learned of the reason why angels or demons wanted them, but he knew humans used it as a replacement for low mana to get around their inability to use certain magic. Someone who only had an Uncommon mana stat could use Rare magic and maybe even Epic magic if they had a mana stone. Of cours
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 47: Stumbling Upon Another Hidden Secret in the Castle
They were back in front of the door again with Grace huffing and puffing at his side. Seeing her struggle was very concerning to him, and he worried that at this rate, she might relapse and collapse before they returned. This hadn't been what he had intended when he had asked her if she wanted her to come with him to the library. It was supposed to be a leisurely activity. She wasn't supposed to be pushing herself to exhaustion after resting. It defeated the whole purpose. "We can take a break," he suggested. Grace's response was to push the door open and say, "Let's go. I'm sick of this place." Well, if she insisted, he would follow her lead. Still, he couldn't believe how different she behaved compared to when they first arrived and in the past life. Could someone really change in only three days? This wasn't the first time she acted 'out of character', and he wondered if he had been wrong that she wasn't faking it. Luke instantly discarded the idea. She would have to be a great
