While he laid low, it wouldn't hurt for him to seek out allies. Not everyone had fallen into line with what the angel's wanted. Several had been wary of what the angels had to say. If what his scrambled memories of the future said was true, several people had been very outspoken about not trusting the angels before learning more about the world. Those people would later die under mysterious circumstances.

No one had noticed any connections between them since it happened over the first year and in different locations in different ways. One died from a demon attack while another died in a training accident. It was chalked up to be because of how dangerous the world was, and the angels insisted that they be careful so that they wouldn't end up like them.

Considering how wide the angels' influence was, it wouldn't be surprising if they got the natives involved to get rid of anyone that could convince the rest of the summoned people to not listen to the angels.

    Luke took the man's hand and said, "My name's Luke."Grace who had been about to take the man's hand had her hand still raised up and stared at him. She was probably confused by why he did that, but he was determined not to let his future party member get snatched up by another party before he had a chance to recruit her. He didn't know why she chose to follow him last time, but he didn't want to take the chance she would go to someone else. Things had already changed from last time because of him."I like your grip, young man," Anthony said.When he approached them, Anthony had only intervened because he couldn't stand men harassing women for no reason. She had obviously been nervous and shouting at her when everyone was just as agitated was absolutely unacceptable. He hadn't expected her to have such a protective boyfriend. He must have made his move too quickly for the boyfriend to act. It was nice to see some people hadn't lost their heads in this mess."Thank you," Luke said as t

    "Heroes, thank the heavens you are here."He was beginning to get tired of everyone constantly calling them heroes. He knew it was part of the act but hearing them say one thing when they actually meant another infuriated him since he knew what they were talking about. When they said hero, they were actually calling them sacrifices. Fools. Pawns.He released his grip on Grace as she recovered from the teleportation. Scanning those that had ended up with him, he saw that he had lucked out, and members of his party had been teleported with him. With the sudden urgency from the angels, he hadn't hoped they would join him. If they have been sent to a different country, he would have lost out on recruiting them since traveling between countries wouldn't be easy.He did note that the group was much bigger than he remembered unless he was mistaken. The angels must have increased the group size since they were concerned about the missing demon king that chose this place as his territory.Amon

    "You expect me to do what?" she shrieked."Quiet down. Are you trying to tell everyone?" he said as he uncovered his ears."They won't hear us unfortunately. The moment I arrived, I made sure no one would hear or see what we're doing. They'll just think you went to sleep," she said as she crossed her arms.He stared silently at her for a second before saying. "Well, that's mighty convenient."If she could do that all the time, then this was the perfect chance for him to speak with the previous demon king. He wouldn't have to wait for the right time and place to speak with him."I know what you're thinking, but unless you want all the angels to descend onto you, you can't talk to him right now," she said as she flipped her hair.His eyes narrowed. "What do you mean?""Everyone is on high alert for the missing demon king. They assumed he used his ability to turn back time to avoid his death and has gone underground," she said.Their assumption wasn't wrong. They had been on the right tr

    "What did you just do?" she asked in barely above a whisper.His brows furrowed as he said, "I refused to let you throw your life away because the system said so."She snapped. "You're a demon. Not just any demon, you're the demon king."He glared as he spat out, "I didn't exactly ask to become the demon king. Whose fault do you think it is that I'm like this?"Even though he knew he was a demon king and the ones in the know also regarded him as a demon king, he hadn't physically nor mentally changed. Everything about him was still human, but that could easily change in the future. He didn't know the exact details of what would happen to him, but he had already decided that if he had no way to return home, that he would become a demon king for revenge. It had been the only path left open to him. To listen to her prattle on about how she expected him to be evil just because he was now a demon set his nerves on edge."Do you want to be treated like a slave so badly? Is that it? Should I

    "Hold still. I need to touch your head to do this," she said as she reached out to him. He grimaced. "I don't exactly like this either okay." "You didn't do this last time," he pointed out. "When we summoned all of you, the connection was made the moment you appeared. This time I'm trying to establish a different connection using the old connection and me," she explained. Another thing they did to them without their consent. At this point, he couldn't say he was surprised. It was probably how the angels monitored them. As long as they used the angel's system, there was no way to avoid their eyes. That brought up an important question though. He frowned at the feeling of her hands on his head and asked, "If the connection was established right away, how was I not caught?" "It's because the connection wasn't fully established." At his expression, she continued, "While it's true that we hook you up to the system as soon as you arrive, it's more l

    As if reading his thoughts, she demanded, "What do you think you're doing?" "I'm seeing what your system has to offer," he said. "Stop," she demanded as she waved her hands in front of his face. She wanted to do more than that but had to settle for this. "Don't you dare do anything." He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is there any particular reason why?" "Unless you want to be caught by the angels, you'd better do nothing." Hearing that, he put his hand down and waited for her to explain. "Even though you're making use of my access, if you try to use it in a way I wouldn't use it, the others will know something isn't right." That made sense. If there was any unusual activity on the account, normally people would suspect that something was wrong with the person using it or someone else was using the account. He had just assumed that the angels would be too arrogant to suspect that a human or rather a demon king would secretly use their system rig

  • Rise of the Demon King: Luke Hellwalker's Revenge   Chapter 16: Strange Circumstances and Questionable Usefulness

    Luke was completely unsympathetic. He didn't tell her to do it. She had decided to do it all on her own of her own free will even though he had stated before that they look for another way. Of course the reason had been because of the possibility she would lose her life thanks to the system controlling her and not lose powers, but the end results were the same. He didn't even need to try to ruin her life for his revenge. She was doing it all on her own, and it wasn't satisfying in the slightest because it implied that he got screwed over by such a pathetic person. If the other angels were just like her, he would snap. He refused to believe his enemies were all like this. They must have some kind of hierarchy, and she was simply a bottom feeder. That would also mean that she was actually quite useless to him. She probably only knew the bare minimum and not all the information he needed to take down the other angels. "If you're done whining over there, we need to plan

"Why did you ask about adding someone as a guest? Everyone is already hooked up to the system."That was enough to distract him from his anger though she was beginning to regret it based on his expression. She didn't like how his anger had somehow turned into dark amusement in her direction. She had a feeling that she was not going to like what he had to say."You're not entirely correct. There is currently someone who is unregistered so I think it would be best to add them as a guest," he said with a growing smile.With each word he said, she could feel her stomach drop further and further until it was rock bottom. She had a feeling she knew who he was talking about but it had to be a mistake. There was no way he was talking about her, right?""So how do we add you to the guest list?" he asked as she sile

    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

    "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,
