I Became the Demon King of Lust

Once those people disappeared, the host turned to look at me and said, "Now, please enter the gate in the order of your rankings. The top ranker will enter first and everyone after the top ranker will enter in order."

As he said this, everyone turned to look at me.

There were some people that didn't know who I was because they had never met me before.

But now that the host had singled me out like this, everyone knew who I was.

Everyone immediately looked at me with different intentions.

It was clear that everyone wanted something from me now that I had become the top ranker.

At the same time, everyone regarded me as a potential rival since I was the top ranker.

I had only obtained the top ranking for the first round, but that was still enough to prove that I had abilities to earn this. This ability meant that I would be a danger to them in the later realms, so they were taking note of me now.

In a sense, part of my goal had been achieved.

Bing Lan had sent me here to establish myself for the future SS Rank Dungeon Raid.

Only by establishing fame would I be able to secure a spot on that raid team, so I had to spread my name even if I wanted to be lowkey to hide the fact that I was the Demon King of Lust.

This first place in the first round would allow me to accomplish that.

After a moment of silence, I stepped forward towards the gate.

As I walked over, I looked at the host and asked, "What about the prizes that were promised to the top rankers? We haven't received them yet. Aren't they supposed to help us in the next round?"

The host had a look of praise in his eyes when he heard this.

He had thought that everyone had forgotten about this since he had blindsided them with the second round. But it seemed that there were still people that were able to keep their cool and think things through.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The host put the mic down so that what he said wouldn't be broadcasted before saying, "The prize will be given once you enter the portal. The second round is in an isolated space created by the organizers, so there's someone waiting inside to give you your prize."

I was surprised to hear this from the host, but I was actually more surprised by the information that I had received from what he said.

Isolated space…

It seemed that there was some kind of controlled aspect to this second round.

The first round was in the dungeon, so I could use my abilities without worrying since there would be few people that would see it. But it was different in this second round.

Since it was an isolated space created by the organizers, there was no doubt that there would be some kind of surveillance set up in this place. That meant that they would be able to see everything that I did and show it to everyone watching.

That meant that I had to hold a few things back since I had no idea what would be caught…

After a moment of silence, I gave a simple nod to the host before walking up to the portal.

Taking a deep breath, I walked through the portal and the sounds around me disappeared.

The moment that I stepped in, it was as if everything had suddenly gone dark and silent. Even though my eyes were still open, it was as if I couldn't see a single thing in front of me.

It was as if all the light in this world had suddenly disappeared and I was left in complete darkness.

I only took a few steps before coming to a stop.

After turning my head a bit, I couldn't help turning around and reaching out with my hand behind me. I wanted to see if the portal that I had gone through was still behind me.

However, my hand touched nothing at all.

The portal that I had walked through had disappeared without a trace.

I was just left alone in this darkness.

As I stood there in the darkness, I was wondering what I should do.

But before I could think of anything, there was a clicking sound before a light appeared.

The beam of light fell down from the ceiling…no, it didn't come from the ceiling. It was just a beam of light that seemed to come down from above, without a source to it.

The first reaction that I had to this was to cover my eyes.

After all, I had been in the darkness for some time and my eyes had adjusted to this darkness.

Being suddenly thrown into the light like this was something that was hard for my eyes to adjust to, so I had to cover them to prevent the light from hurting them.

But eventually my eyes adjusted and I was able to see that there was a figure that was standing in the beam of light.

This figure just stood there without saying a single word, almost as if they were waiting for something.

When my eyes finally adjusted, I found that it was a beautiful girl who was standing there under that beam of light. She was a beautiful girl in what seemed to be a gothic loli dress with her blonde hair in twintails.

Once she saw that I was looking right at her, she said, "Welcome to the second round. I am your guide that will help you as you embark on this trial."

"Guide?" I couldn't help repeating before revealing a bitter smile.

The way that she had said this, it was almost as if this was some kind of game…

The guide didn't take offense to the way that I said this.

In fact, she even ignored me as she said, "Now, please accept your prizes for the first round."
