2024-10-29 19:42:56This time it got Grace's attention. One hundred gold pieces definitely had to be a large number. Luke was basically asking for one hundred times the amount the man had offered. She couldn't believe he could demand such a large amount. There was no way the man would accept the deal, and she wondered what Luke was thinking.
Without missing a beat, Samuel said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. I can raise the price to five gold pieces at most."
"Let's be honest here," said Luke as he stood up and approached the desk. Jessica tensed, ready to react if he tried anything funny. 'Kayla' and Grace reacted in the same way. "We both know how valuable mana stones are. They're priceless. What I'm asking for is actually cheaper than what I can actually get on the black market."
Hearing that one hundred gold pieces for one mana stone was cheap nearly made Grace faint. She wished she knew how currency in this world worked. None of them had to worry about money before, as every

'Kayla' ended up nodding off as she waited for them to finish the negotiations, while Grace couldn't shake the tension out of her body. It felt as if something bad would happen the moment she relaxed. She wished she could be as easygoing as 'Kayla' was or be as confident as Luke. It was still hard to believe that the two of them would think so highly of her.It didn't make any sense. She wasn't an angel turned human or a human turned demon king who went back in time to redo everything for the sake of revenge. It was only because of Luke that she even got the chance to be a Saintess. No matter what he said, she couldn't imagine what her counterpart was like or think of even matching up to her.Thinking about how he talked about her counterpart or how his eyes seemed to gaze off to a time she wasn't a part of made her heart ache. He had been the one to approach her and make her feel safe. Even if it was only because of her counterpart, he had been her anchor this entire
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 70: Entering the Black Market (2)
When they stepped through, the trio found themselves in shock at what they saw. It was a literal market, with numerous people bustling around to examine some of the wares. Instead of shady people trying to sell items secretly for money, they saw vendors proudly selling their wares for everyone to see and to make a decision.This was completely different from what they had been expecting. They had anticipated being ushered quietly into their designated seating before the auction began based on Luke's past life and how the black market was protrayed in their old home. Samuel even said the black market was only for the select few, so how did that explain the crowded market.Realizing that Samuel hadn't stopped moving, they quickly followed after him, making sure not to lose him in the crowd. It would be bad if they ended up getting separated and having to navigate themselves in an unknown place. They stumbled their way through the people until they entered an alleyway.

Whatever they had been imagining, this wasn't it. All of them had imagined that a black market would look like something else as long as it wasn't a market, despite the word being in there. If they didn't know any better, they would have thought they had stumbled upon a small market in the middle of nowhere. However, they all knew better or at least Luke did.Grace, on the other hand, looked on in undisguised interest at what they were doing while 'Kayla' appeared bored out of her mind. She obviously wanted the trip to be over already and was counting down the minutes until they returned back to the castle."Are you sure we're in the right place?" asked 'Kayla'."I assure you that is indeed the right place," said Samuel.Grace quickly asked her own question. "Why are they setting up?".He gave her a blank look before saying, "We're early. They haven't finished setting up yet.""What do you mean they're not done setting up?" demanded 'Kayla'
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 72: Buying Items From the Black Market (2)
Luke had never expected to see it here of all places. To think he would find a primitive globule here at the black market. It wasn't something people would think of selling or keeping for themselves. Most people regarded it as waste or garbage, but that was because no one currently knew what it was or its true worth. That was something Grace had discovered far into the future after studying it despite not being a mage.The owner eyed them before saying, "One gold piece."'Kayla' hissed at the price while Grace's eyes widened and Luke countered, "That's too much. Give it to me for 500 bronze pieces.""500 bronze pieces? You must be mad if you think you can get any item at that price," the man barked. "90 silver pieces.""I'm not spending that much money on something I plan on giving to one of the girls as a souvenir." He could feel 'Kayla' glaring at the back of his head, which he ignored. "800 bronze pieces.""You obviously don't know how much effo
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 73: Auction (1)
"The auction should be starting soon. We should head over there now," Luke said."But where are we supposed to go?" Grace asked.That was a good point. He hadn't thought to ask Samuel when the auction was going to start and where it was located before they went off to explore the black market. The man hadn't offered up the information either. Luke wondered if this was done on purpose. If that was the case, he was going to have several words with the man about keeping information."Well, this is going really well," 'Kayla' observed dryly.Luke shot her a look, which she returned. Grace managed to keep a fight from breaking out by asking, "Do you think we can ask someone?""That won't work," Luke said as he looked away from 'Kayla'. "Remember, the auction is for VIPs only. They wouldn't spread the information to just anyone."Grace's shoulder drooped as she asked, "So if we ask some of the guards, they won't tell us?""Exactly," he said
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 74: Auction (2)
Realistically, Luke knew that the six items he was looking to get wouldn't be the only items in the auction, but he still found himself tapping his foot with his arms crossed as he waited impatiently for the items to appear. That wasn't to say the other items weren't good, they just weren't up to par for what he was looking for. After several items had been auctioned off, he finally saw the first item on his list.A simple looking sword was wheeled up to the stage as the announcer said, "Here we have Soulflare, a weapon that used to belong to a hero from long ago. It was bestowed upon him by the angels before becoming lost after his death. It's with great luck that we managed to get our hands on this item. We will start the bidding at 10 gold."Immediately, people started bidding. They will most likely keep it for decoration if they didn't end up using it themselves. Of course, the chances of someone being able to use it if they were not a hero were low. The natives co
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 75: Auction (3)
A circular stone was set on the stage. There didn't seem to be anything special about it. For all intents and purposes, it looked like a regular stone. Luke could feel 'Kayla' and Grace shift in their seats. 'Kayla' was understandable as this was another angelic weapon, but he didn't understand why Grace would react the same way."This mysterious stone was once worshiped by a group of cultists who claimed that it was a gift from the heavens that was bestowed upon the Saintess at the time," said the announcer as several people gasped in awe.Luke hadn't known about that fact. He knew it was an angelic weapon, but he hadn't realized it had been used by a previous Saintess. If that was the case, then he knew who he should give the item to after he won the bid."We are uncertain of what it is exactly or what it does, but it must certainly be valuable. Who here is willing to try to uncover its secrets? We will start the bidding at 20 gold," the announcer said.

His hopes were dashed when he saw her hand shoot into the air as soon as the announcer started the bid. He tried to grab her attention to tell her to stop, but she ignored him and kept on bidding on the item. If she wasn't going to stop, then he wasn't going to give her the money to buy it. She was all on her own. At least, that was his intention until he saw the item description.[Item Information][Dreamsong][Trinket of Grace][Godly][Mana +500][A trinket blessed by angels and embedded with the power of a Saintess.][It protects its wielder from all status effects and increases luck.][It also saves the wielder from death just once.]What was this?

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

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

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,
