I Became the Demon King of Lust

After waking up in this pure white room, I looked around myself to see if there was anything here.

However, there wasn't a single thing that was around me.

There wasn't even a way out of this room.

It was just a room that had pure white walls and nothing else.

I couldn't help feeling a bit scared since this almost seemed like some kind of psychiatric ward. It was like one of those nicely padded rooms where they kept crazy people…

The only thing that was missing at this point was the straitjacket that kept me from hurting myself.

As I was about to start attacking the room around me, there was a person that suddenly appeared in front of me.

I didn't attack this person, but I also didn't put my sword down as I waited for them to finish appearing. When they did, I immediately recognized this person even though it had been a while since I had last seen them.

It was the guide that had appeared when I had first entered the tower.

After appearing, she looked at me with a look of praise as she said, "I never thought that you would make it this far without dying once. Though it seems like you've already used up all of the attempts on that token of yours."

I gave a nod before taking out the token to toss to her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The guide caught the token and said with a smile, "Are you returning it or are you hoping that I'll give you another chance to skip with how well you've done?"

I didn't say anything, but the way that I looked at her made it clear what I was thinking.

She just looked back at me with the same smile as she tossed the token back at me.

It seemed like she was refusing to give me anything, but that wasn't surprising at all.

It would have actually been more surprising if she had chosen to give me something.

After catching the token and putting it away, I asked, "What is this place?"

The guide gestured to the room around us and asked, "What do you think this place is?"

Now that I've calmed down, I had a good idea of what this place was. However, it wasn't as if I was in a hurry to answer since there were some things that I wanted to obtain from this guide.

I might not have cared before, but after meeting that dragon…

I just looked around as if I was inspecting the room until I calmly said, "This is the respawn point."

The guide gave a nod before saying, "Yes, this is the respawn point. It's amazing that you were able to guess it right away since most people wouldn't think of that. They would usually refuse to believe that they died, but that's just how people with pride are."

I revealed a look as if I was interested in this and said, "Oh? People with pride? What kind of people with pride?"

The guide looked at me with narrowed eyes for a bit before saying with a sigh, "Oh, you know those people that think that they're better than others. The ones that come from rich families that think that they are above the common men."

Hearing this, I just gave an understanding nod before saying, "Hmm, it seems like there are those kinds of people from all different kinds of places."

The guide nodded as she said, "That's right. They really are a pain in the butt since I have to deal with them when they come into the tower. Especially those young masters from the other races…or you would expect me to say."

The guide's expression suddenly changed into a taunting smile as she continued, "Did you really think that you could use a leading question to get me to confess the information that you wanted? You think that I'm really that easy to fool?"

Though I was surprised, I forced myself to remain calm on the surface.

Instead, I said with a confused look, "What do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about."

The guide didn't care about what I said as she narrowed her eyes to look at me while saying, "It seems that someone has been interfering. Let's take a look to see who it is."

After a moment of silently looking at me, particularly at my chest, she said, "Oh, it seems like someone has made contact with you and it seems like they did it through the tower. It seems like I'll have to talk to them later."

Once again, I shook my head with a confused and dumb look as I said, "I really have no idea what you mean."

The guide just looked at me with a smile as she said, "So you're telling me that you've always had that dragon egg inside of you?"

Since I had been exposed, there was no longer a need to hide it.

I looked at her with a surprised look and asked, "How did you know?"

The guide said with the same smile, "You can try to hide things from me, but it doesn't work inside of this tower. The inside of this tower is my domain and as long as I want, I can learn anything about what's inside of this tower. So there's no use trying to hide from me."

After narrowing my eyes to look at her for a bit, I just calmly said, "Then is there anything that you can tell me?"

The guide shook her head and said, "If I could, I would have already told you for your achievements, but there's nothing that I can say. You can only blame the world that you come from, that is what the restrictions are."

I just deeply knitted my brows after hearing this.

At the very least, I had confirmed that there were many other worlds out there and that this Tower of Trial connected to those other worlds.

But it really was a surreal feeling having this confirmed.
