2024-10-29 19:42:56Luke looked on amused as Grace's eyes seemed to sparkle at everything she saw. One moment she would be pointing something out to him, and the next she was running off to check out the next shiny thing to catch her attention. She was like a child in a toy store. Going into the city was doing wonders for her.
He also kept an eye out for 'Kayla'. She had been part of the first group to depart from the castle to descend into the city. Apparently, an order for when they would visit the city had been decided by Sir Gilbert, and it was determined by their final scores on the training results ranking.
This slight hiccup was an annoyance since it meant he was separate from Grace. He didn't mind 'Kayla' going with a different group as that had been part of the plan.
Fortunately, they didn't seem to mind him waiting for her right between the castle and the city. She had been so relieved to see him waiting for her that she clung to him like a koala. Their brief parting had

After they ditched the duo to explore some more, he found himself spiraling into his thoughts. It would explain a lot of things, like why she hadn't been doing as well during training and why she had avoided talking about the place with him. It wasn't because she was traumatized by the place. She was going behind his back and receiving training from the previous Saintess.To think she would do something like this. This wasn't like her at all, but did he really know her at all? He had never paid attention to her in their previous life and had kept ignoring all the weirdness about her in this life because he knew how useful she would be. That, and the fact that he felt he owed her a debt.She had sacrificed herself for him, and he had been unable to fulfill her last request last time. He thought that at least he could keep her from throwing her life meaninglessly away, but perhaps he had been misunderstanding her this whole time.Maybe he was wrong about her. Mayb
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 55: First One to Get Their Class
The shaky smile on his face stiffened as his eyes widened slightly. Did he hear correctly? Did she just say that she had received her class already? He supposed he shouldn't be surprised since her highest stat was at 18, which was her Mana stat, and his suspicions about her training, but that just made it all the more confusing.Why would she keep her training a secret only to reveal the results to him now? Had she wanted to surprise him? It seemed ridiculous, but he had to remember that they were both currently sixteen and in a foreign land. She might have only felt comfortable speaking up about it now that she had made some progress.Not to mention that raising the Mana stat wasn't that easy. In fact, it was the hardest stat to increase. There were only two ways to increase the Mana stat, and those were to raise the Intelligence stat or to practice magic. The latter was impossible if you didn't already have a decent Mana stat to begin with. It was a catch-22. To rais
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 56: Revealing His Secret to His Party Member
"What do you mean she's already got her class?" hissed 'Kayla' the moment Luke revealed to her what Grace had told him.They were currently inside Grace's room after Luke had asked Grace if they could wait for 'Kayla'. She needed time to break away from the group she was with without being too suspicious. He also needed to time their return so no one would know exactly when they had gotten back into the castle. Most of the knights and servants were distracted by the heroes' trip into the city, but there still had to be some that remained to guard or work at the castle.Once 'Kayla' had joined them, he had immediately asked if they could speak in her room. Grace had initially been confused by his request but ultimately allowed it. Now she was currently contemplating Luke's latest request while he and 'Kayla' had their quick conversation in the corner.Pushing 'Kayla's' face away, he said, "You heard me. I was surprised too."She stepped back, muttering to
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 57: Inducting the First Party Member
The blank look Luke got in return was something he had expected. He could have eased her into the conversation, but he had ultimately decided to go for the shock factor. It was better for the most surprising detail to be said first, so everything he told her afterwards wouldn't be as shocking.Then she exploded. "Wh-what? Doesn't that mean we have to fight you? That doesn't make sense. We were summoned together, but the demon king has been around since forever."He allowed her to fret over her new-found knowledge for a few moments before cutting in. "Grace, I know this is a shock, but I'm telling you the truth. What I have to tell you is a long story, but I want you to wait until the end before you ask any questions."After calming down a little, she said, "O-okay."Luke quickly gave her a brief summary of what happened to him in his previous life. Glossing over what he considered were unimportant details, he made sure to emphasize the fate that had befal
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 58: Talking With the Previous Demon King
"What's wrong?" asked Grace as soon as Luke hid his face in his hands.He sighed. There was no point in hiding it from them. "There's a slight problem."'Kayla' narrowed her eyes as she asked, "What do you mean there's a problem?""There isn't a party feature," he said, deciding it was best to just get it over with."No party feature?" 'Kayla's' face scrunched up in confusion. "Wait. That doesn't make sense. My quest clearly states that you need to recruit your first party member. How can there be no party feature?""I'm just telling you how it is," he said, unamused by her demanding tone.'Kayla' had been pretty daring for some time, despite being his slave. She even dared to be disrespectful and demand things from him when, out of the two of them, he was the only one with authority to order the other around. Perhaps he needed to remind her of her place.Their glaring contest stopped when Grace asked, "Then what are we supposed to do
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 59: Slave, Servant, Follower, or Harem Member
Surprisingly, instead of outrage from Grace, she simply asked, "You have a harem?""No," he bluntly stated.Luke would admit that he had fantasized several times in the past with his friends about getting a harem. He was pretty sure all the boys his age had thought about it at least once. If someone said they never did, then he would call them a liar or suspect that puberty hadn't hit them quite yet or that they weren't into girls.She seemed satisfied with his answer and asked, "Are there any differences between them?"The demon king helped him explain what each option had to offer, though their names pretty much gave it away. Slaves obviously had no freedom. They had no choice but to obey him and couldn't do anything to harm him. Not only that, but apparently a slave could never be stronger than the master. There weren't really any benefits for the person becoming a slave, except maybe being able to see the demon's system. It was clearly not what they w
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 60: First Harem Member Acquired
As soon as 'Kayla' brought her up to speed on what they had been talking about, she asked, "How many women were in the demon king's harem? Does that mean Luke is going to build up his harem? How many girls are going to be in the harem with me?"Luke nearly choked on the air at her innocent questions. Normally, wouldn't a girl be upset about the possibility of being part of a harem? She made it sound like it was a normal party and was curious when he was going to build it back up.[I like her.]He glared at the screen before asking, "Anyway, how do we do this? There's no weird ritual to initiate her into the ritual, is there?"[If you're worried that you have to have sex with her, then you have nothing to worry about. All it requires is for there to be some feelings between you two in order for her to be added to the harem.]"What does that even mean?" asked 'Kayla' after they had stared at the demon king's words for a few moments.[He can't
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 61: Side Effects of Becoming a Demon King
[What else did you want to talk about?]"Is there something you neglected to mention to me about the demon's system or becoming a demon king?" Luke asked instead.[I don't understand what you mean.]Gripping his hand into a fist, he said, "When I first arrived and had only Judith to rely on, I found it difficult to hold my temper in check and to refrain from becoming violent. It was like I was possessed by something."[Explain.]This time, he went a little more in depth about the event. Earlier, he and 'Kayla' had refrained from going into too much detail about what happened between them. They had a mutual understanding not to go into depth about what had been said or done in front of Grace.There hadn't been any other incidents, unless the time he was becoming paranoid and thinking everyone was a possible enemy was one of them. He decided against mentioning it since he was pretty certain it was mostly the hormones and the trauma from the fi

Author's Note
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

Chapter 389: The End
"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

Chapter 387: To Go Home or To Stay (1)
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

Chapter 386: The End of the Creator (3)
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 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,
