I Became the Demon King of Lust

The answers to my doubts came sooner than I thought.

It didn't take long before the next part of the exam began.

There was a clock on the wall that most people ignored, but there was something special about this clock.

Instead of telling time, it was actually counting down to something.

When the clock finished counting down, the bartender suddenly came out from behind the bar and said, "Alright, it's time."

As soon as he did, everyone turned to look at him with rapt attention.

They had already seen his examiner badge, so they knew that he would eventually do something.

It was just a good thing that he decided to move before they burst from how tense they were.

The bartender walked up to the center of the room and stood there as several others came out to meet him. All of these people had the same examiner badge on their chests as this bartender.

It was clear that they were the ones that were in charge of this second part of the exam.

Once they had all gathered, the bartender said, "Your next trial will be entering a dungeon and showing how powerful you are."

Many of the examinees couldn't help revealing looks like they had already expected this.

After all, clearing dungeons was the crux of what being a high ranking Awakener was.

They were all aiming to be high ranking Awakeners even if the power that they awakened was of a lower rank. So it was normal that they would need to prove their abilities to clear a dungeon to gain this qualification.

The bartender just went at his own pace as he said, "The dungeon that you will be entering is a D Ranked one that is managed by the Awakener Association known as the Temple of Water…"

After that, he began explaining the rules of the exam which were quite simple.

They would be tracked based on how many monsters they defeated.

Normal monsters would only give them one point, elite monsters would be worth two points, area bosses would be worth ten points, and the final boss of the dungeon would be worth one hundred points.

This was also a clear indication of just how strong the boss of the dungeon was if it was worth this much more than the area bosses.

It was worth ten times more, so it should be ten times more powerful. -verified

But the twist came when the bartender said...

"You will be allowed to form teams to enter the dungeon with. But if you do form teams, know that the points that you receive will be divided evenly among your team members."

This was a very important twist since it meant that there was a variable to this exam.

Teaming up with each other would make it easier to fight the bosses and earn the big points, but there were only so many bosses that could be fought. So if they didn't find any bosses and only fought normal monsters, they would quickly fall behind the others since they would have to split the points from these normal and elite monsters.

At the same time, there was the matter of whether they would be able to cooperate properly or not.

Everyone in this room had come on their own and didn't know much about each other, so it wasn't as if they would be able to function as a party right away.

So it would be a risk forming a haphazard party like this.

There were pros and cons to both options, but it seemed like being alone was the best one.

At least it was for me since I had trump cards that I didn't want to show people in the first place.

The last thing that the bartender told us about were the bracelets.

The waiters brought over bracelets while the bartender explained the rules of this exam.

These bracelets would be used to track how many monsters we had killed.

They had this special ability to sense when a monster died, though they wouldn't be able to monitor us.

The bartender added, "Since you will be going into the dungeon, we will not be able to monitor you while you are in there and can only keep track of how many points you've earned." Then his voice turned cold as he said, "But of course, if you do anything that you shouldn't do…know that it won't be hard for us to find out.

At that time, you will not only be punished by the law, you will also be dealt with in the manner fitting of one who dares to cross our Awakener Association."

The pressure that he released wasn't a small one and the coldness in his voice was enough to send a chill down one's spine.

This was also normal since there was something in the dungeons that stopped all surveillance equipment.

Humans hadn't been able to figure out exactly what it was that prevented them from filming in the dungeons, so they had no choice but to accept it as a fact of nature.

But because of this, there were many crimes that were committed in dungeons where there was no surveillance. Even I had been a victim of this when I entered the dungeon the first time.

Though I had been able to easily dispatch those people in the end.

Everyone who heard this already expected this threat to come.

They weren't fools, they knew that the Awakener Association had plenty of resources and were the ones that had organized this Irregular License Exam.

They would certainly have a way of finding out if they committed any crimes.

So they wouldn't be fools in doing these things.

But the looks in the eyes of certain people made it clear that they were planning on playing certain tricks…

After he finished explaining everything, the bartender went to one of the doors.

This was a door that had never opened and no one had come out of it.

When the door opened, it revealed a dungeon entrance.

We all couldn't help being surprised when we saw this.

The Awakener Association had so many resources that they were even able to keep dungeon entrances hidden like this…

They really couldn't be underestimated.
