As a thief and someone who spent time around demons, she knew how to differentiate between the different kinds of glares people had. There were the I'm annoyed with you, the I'm going to kill you, and the I'm going to beat some sense into you among the few she could name. This one, however, felt like a mix of the first and third. The former made sense since these people wanted to see her dead, but the latter wasn't one she expected.
She considered the possibility that one of the other harem members was here. The fact they didn't come to her aid would mean they wanted to see her take a beating or wanted to get rid of her. Of course she could be wrong, and they weren't here. She could just be imagining things, but she could still feel the glare. When she got out of this mess, she was going to hunt down the person and figure out what their deal was.
At least the goblin thought she was dead, giving her time

The announcer declared, "To make up for this oversight, we will allow you to decide her fate."People immediately started to discuss different ways to torment her. 'Kayla' grimaced in disgust at all the crude things coming out of the audience's mouth, while Grace shuddered and curled in on herself. Luke, on the other hand, had hoped for this very scenario, but it looked like he underestimated just how bloodthirsty the audience was. Many of them wanted to see how long she would last against the staff or how long she could endure torture before she broke.That wasn't his goal. He needed to save her and somehow convince her that they were on the same side. Unfortunately, he doubted she could do that latter easily and within the black market. He would need to transport her to a safer location before revealing just enough to convince her to trust him.As he was about to shout out his suggestion, someone else beat him to it. "Why not keep her as a pet? She would make
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 82: Collecting All the Bought Items
The rest of the auction ended up mellowing out after the stunt they pulled. It was almost anticlimactic for the auction to simply end after all the items had been sold. Unfortunately, he had been unable to get his hands on the last items on his list despite his best efforts. Peacesong, the Restored Sphere, and Glimmer, Crystal of the Victor, ended up in the hands of others, and he could only grit his teeth at their loss. It didn't help that he read the item descriptions to see exactly what he lost out on.[Item Information][Peacesong][Mythic][A golden harp that once belonged to the angel Seraphina. It has lost a good chunk of its power since it has been lost in the mortal world, but its music remains heavenly.][Every time you play it, those that listen to it receive a temporary boost to all stats depending
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 83: Leaving the Auction and Confronting Samuel Morris
Things had gone smoothly after that. After seeing all the money laid out on the table, he had no excuse to continue to treat them poorly. Seeing him get on his knees and apologize for his actions had amused Luke greatly. The other two, on the other hand, had looked at him with an unreadable expression.Now they were walking away with Laurel in their possession, but the quests regarding saving Laurel hadn't been resolved quite yet. He assumed it was because they were still in the confines of the black market. She wouldn't be safe until they left the place and returned back to the Kingdom of Shadarwen. Unfortunately, they had to wait for Samuel in order for that to happen.Luke scowled as he thought back on how the announcer had believed they were poor. He hadn't been wrong. They had actually spent all the money they had. The look on 'Kayla' and Grace's faces after he told them this once they were out of earshot would have been hilarious if it hadn't been so serious and
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 84: Samuel Morris's Test
Samuel remained silent, which was undoubtedly an admission of his guilt not that Luke expected anything less. They both knew the truth, and it would have been pointless to try to pretend otherwise. The others were waiting anxiously to see what would happen next. With 'Kayla' being the only one with a weapon and was stuck carrying Laurel, she and Grace would be unable to defend themselves properly if something did happen.The first one to make a move was Samuel, who raised both of his hands and clapped, "Not bad."Not expecting that response, 'Kayla' and Grace stared at each other, wondering what was going on. Luke, on the other hand, wanted to sigh in exasperation. He had suspected that Samuel did this as part of his test since he still didn't trust Luke and the others, but it didn't make it any less annoying. Because of his stunt, they missed out on valuable items that they couldn't normally get at their level or ever."Will you now stop testing us?" Luke asked
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 85: Reunion Between Laurel Shields and the Demon King
The moment they reappeared in the Saintess's meadow, Laurel moved. She shoved herself off of 'Kayla' who cursed at the sudden movement and stumbled forward as she regained her balance. Laurel, on the other hand, took the opportunity to lunge for the weakest person in their group, Grace. Unfortunately for her, Luke had expected this and grabbed her by the wrist and flipped her onto her back. She gasped as the wind was knocked out of her.Luke kept a tight grip on her hand. "I suggest you don't try that again, or else I will take matters into my own hands."She glared up at him, which he ignored, as 'Kayla' stomped her way towards them, obviously intent on getting payback for what happened. He rolled his eyes at her behavior. The both of them had known she was awake, so she had no excuse to be surprised by Laurel's stunt. If 'Kayla' had not known about it, then she was a complete disgrace for being both an angel and human. She had been the one literally carrying Laurel o
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 86: Presenting the Results of the Investigation to the Princess
Princess Lera inwardly frowned as the hero was unable to present anything of value to her. While it was true that he said he wasn't sure if what he learned was real, hearing that he had nothing to show for his efforts was disappointing. He had been doing so well, proving his worth to her, only to fail her now. Well, she hadn't been exactly fair to him. She hadn't actually expected him to present anything of value to her when she assigned him this task.This whole thing had just been a test. The black market wasn't exactly something that could be discovered that easily. If it was, then it would have already been dealt with by previous heroes or those obsessed with justice like Sir Gilbert. It would also mean that the hero in front of her was a lot more dangerous than she expected, and she would have to determine whether or not it was worth keeping him at her side.She outwardly smiled at him and said, "You have nothing to apologize for. I should have known better that i
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 87: Tournament Announcement
'Kayla' stared at him with an indescribable look on her face. She had been like this ever since he started making plans for the possible tournament. At first he had been willing to let it go, but it had honestly gone on long enough.Before he could demand why she was like this, she said, "You're a demon.""Yes?" It was honestly the only proper response to what she just said. "And?""You were born into the wrong species. You should have been born a demon," she said.Well, he was a demon now. technically a demon king, but it was basically the same thing. "What brought this up?"She looked me in the eye and said one word, "Tournament."That certainly explained her behavior. She must have heard his thoughts about his future plans for the tournament if it did happen, which saved him a lot of time. He had been planning to inform them later, but this was fine."So you know what you're supposed to do, right?" he asked for confirmation.
Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge Chapter 88: Training for the Tournament (1)
Of course, no one dared say they would quit after hearing what Sir Gilbert had to say. Instead, everyone focused heavily on training for the tournament. The full details of the event were not finalized yet, but the basics were told to them. Essentially, they would be competing with each other to see who could kill the most demons in the fastest time. Friendly fighting between heroes was allowed, but if someone allowed themselves to be caught up in the moment, they would be disqualified.While the purpose of this was to see who was the strongest, that didn't mean the natives wanted the heroes to kill each other for the title, even by accident. They would have judges watching. Also, since the tournament was actually considered a quest by the system, it would be able to monitor their actions to prevent this from going too far. Obviously, it wasn't one hundred percent foolproof, but it was enough to comfort people.The format for the tournament was so simple that a child c

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.

Chapter 385: The End of the Creator (2)
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,
