Chapter 141: To Be Demon King
After the stunt he pulled, Caleb knew it was impossible for his actions to go unignored. He regretted not being more careful, but he had been a bit preoccupied by the sudden revelation that he needed to become the demon king. Now he had no choice except to get involved in the weird fight that was going on between the demons. Now that he thought about it, how was the demon king chosen?Since it wasn't something brought up in the game, he was completely in the dark about it. Apparently, the makers of the game didn't think it was important information. As a gamer, they were right. It wouldn't have added anything to the game besides being lore that he didn't really care about. However, he now wished they had so he wasn't fumbling around.Caleb took a moment to observe the demons staring at him before ordering, "Everyone leave except for Lisa, Ruth, and Grace."The demons were clearly outraged that they were being excluded from whatever Caleb had planned, but he didn't care. The only ones

Chapter 142: Taking Steps to Become the Demon King
Caleb stared at the gathered demons as he recalled what they had been doing for the past few weeks. It had been a hectic period of trying to find clues about becoming the new demon king since the system was no help. Lisa and Ruth weren't much help either, as this was new ground. Apparently, even though they insisted they would be the new demon king, they didn't really know anything either.They had hoped that with a sudden vacany, they just had to duke it out until the strongest demon came out on top. It was a decent plan, considering what they knew. He would have thought the same if it weren't for some details. How would the system determine who was the strongest demon? What standards did it go by? Was it pure strength or intellect?There were simply too many possibilities for their idea to work. It would have made more sense if the system had sent out a notification or something to give the demons an idea. Unfortunately, it was apparent that all the other demons thought the same, gi

Chapter 143: Harems
Caleb blinked. "Seriously?"How come he didn't know this? Why hadn't this kind of detail been part of the game? It would have been nice to know that harems were very real and that demons looked upon them favorably. Of course, he couldn't see how they could add this information to the game without it standing out, but he was sure they could have found a way."Yes," Ruth said.Narrowing his eyes, Caleb said, "You seem to know a lot about the previous demon king and his harem. Can you tell me who had been a part of his harem?"He was certain that the women who had made up the previous demon king's harem wouldn't stay out of the fight. Their position would have been basically second only to that of the demon king. They wouldn't want to let go of that kind of power, but he had no clue what they might do. Would they try to seduce another demon to get into their good graces, or would they try to become the demon king themselves?Lisa and Ruth shared a look before the former said, "We were."

Chapter 144: Joining a Harem or Not
Caleb turned to Grace and said, "Explain."Grace fidgeted as she said, "Well, wouldn't it make everyone happy? Caleb will get the support of two powerful demons while they won't be slaves anymore."He couldn't see what the benefit was for him. As his slaves, they were already on his side. They had to support him no matter what. It was different from when he used the [Brainwashing] skill, where he would have to always be on the lookout for the skill wearing off. They wouldn't suddenly stop being his slaves out of the blue. He had to release them in order for them to be free.Ruth scoffed. "That'll never happen.""Why not?" Grace asked as she titled her head to one side.Pointing a finger in Caleb's direction, Ruth said, "There's not a single good thing about him. He's neither strong nor smart. He's not even attractive."With each word, Caleb felt as if he was being stabbed in the heart. She really didn't hold back. For some reason, the system didn't punish her for her words. It didn't

Chapter 145: Alliance
Caleb perked up. It was about time they heard anything of value, but he found himself suspicious. Just earlier, the demons had told them there was nothing. Now suddenly, they had news about them. The timing was suspicious, and he wondered if perhaps his opponents had spies in his army. It would be the smart thing to do. Send their people in to keep an eye on him.However, he thought that the system would have let him know either through the follower list or the map. If there was an enemy in their midst, he would know about it. That was, unless their enemies somehow knew how to bypass that. He was going to assume that wasn't the case. It wasn't like he used the same system everyone else did. The system didn't work the way theirs did.Seeing that the demon was waiting for his orders, he said, "Tell me.""It seems that they have joined forces," the demon declared.Instantly, everyone was on edge. The demon didn't need to mention which demons it was talking about. This wasn't good. If tha

Chapter 146: Declaration
Despite the issues Lisa and Ruth had, they had eventually caved in and helped Caleb out. Well, it wasn't like they had a choice anyway. Since they were his slaves, they would have to do what he said, no matter what. It was just better they chose to work with him out of their own accord. However, he never expected for their opponents to suddenly declare war on them.Caleb stared blankly at the written declaration in front of him before looking at the demons assembled in front of him. Most of them were eager to fight and kill, but those with any brains had a serious expression on their faces. He paid special attention to Lisa and Ruth, since they knew more about the demons they were facing. They hadn't said this could happen.As if sensing where his thoughts were going, Lisa immediately said, "This isn't like them. They wouldn't declare their intention to fight, especially through a message."Ruth nodded. "This smells like a trap."Well, if that's what they thought, then it must really

Chapter 147: Confrontation
"So you showed up," one of the demons in front of Caleb said.Based on their appearance, she appeared to be a vampire, which meant she was Takisha. That meant the demon next to her, who looked like a dark elf, was Mildred. Strangely, there were no other demons in sight. It was just the two of them standing alone in the middle of the throne room. Instead of comforting him, this only made Caleb more suspicious. Where were their forces?Caleb's army was right behind him, with Lisa, Ruth, and Grace taking the lead. The sight must have looked odd to an outsider. If they didn't know any better, they would have thought that Caleb was the bad guy hunting down two weak demons. Obviously, that wasn't the case. The fact they didn't have any of their forces with them meant the two demons were confident that they could handle them.Warily and slowly, he said, "You are the ones to summon me.""That's correct. We wanted to see the one who managed to wrestle Lisa and Ruth into submission," Mildred sa

Chapter 148: Escaping the Trap
So that was their plan. The reason why Caleb hadn't seen any of the enemy forces was because they intended to poison them. That was actually pretty smart of them. They wouldn't have to waste manpower and could eliminate them easily, depending on the poison they were using. However, he could see several flaws with the plan. One of them was how ineffective it was.It would have been one thing if they were stuck in a room. The small space would ensure the poison spread quickly and disable or kill them right away. The problem was that the castle wasn't a small place. In fact, if they kept moving, they would eventually outrun the poison gas unless their foes had the foresight to install the poison everywhere.Now that he thought about it, that was a likely scenario. They didn't seem to be the type to let such a detail slip past them. That just meant they would need to hurry and find an exit to escape before it was too late. The best way was to figure out how Takisha and Mildred got out. Th

Chapter 149: Safe for Now
Caleb didn't hesitate to rush over to see what she was talking about. Once he got closer, he saw that she had been staring at the wall. At first glance, he didn't see anything strange about it. It looked like a normal stone wall, but Grace must have seen something. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at the wall as he looked for the clue or hint she saw.The poison was making it difficult to look at, as it kept blocking his view. Waving away at the poison gas, he finally spotted what she was talking about. A part of the wall was sticking out slightly. If he hadn't been looking for it, he would have missed it. Of course, he could be wrong and that he was just seeing things. However, he had a feeling he wasn't."We need to get the others," he said before shouting, "We found it!"They waited and heard footsteps rushing towards them as Lisa asked, "Where?"The woman landed beside them with the demon rats and Ruth close behind her. Caleb had to admit that they were quite fast. He hadn't expected

Chapter 150: War (1)
"It's taking them a while to come out," Mildred calmly said as they stared at the entrance.Takisha hummed. "It's possible that they weren't as much of a threat as we initially thought."When they heard that Lisa and Ruth had been beaten by a demon rat, they had thought they had misheard. It was hard to believe that it could have happened. If it had been only one of them or two separate occasions, they could see it possibly happening. Those two were the type to go in thinking they had nothing to worry about. They were arrogant, but not without reason.They could get out of a tight spot. However, that wasn't what happened. Somehow, a demon rat had managed to subdue the both of them at the same time. He must have some kind of trick up his sleeve to pull it off. Many other demons thought it was just pure luck that got him this far. Well, luck was a factor, but they didn't survive this long being careless.That's why they decided to work together temporarily to get rid of him and two of t
