I Became the Demon King of Lust

After the screen came down, there was a list that appeared on it.

It was a list of all the participants in this tournament and on the side was a list of numbers that corresponded with these participants.

These were the number of points that they had obtained in this first round.

It was a very long list, but at the bottom, there were some names that were grayed out.

It didn't take a genius to figure out that these names at the bottom were the names of the ones that had died in the first trial.

I also recognized one of the names that was there.

Cheng Hui, the one from the Beijing Tigers.

His group was the group that we had killed right away after entering the dungeon since he was the one that had tried to pick on those unaffiliated Awakeners.

Speaking of the unaffiliated Awakeners, I could see them not far away.

They had waved at us with smiles when they saw us earlier and I had acknowledged them as well.

This list was very long and had many different names, but everyone was able to quickly find themselves since they had a general idea of where they would be. That was because in these twenty four hours, everyone had figured out how the tokens work.

They had been able to see their points, so they just had to look at the second half of the list and then find their names after finding their points.

I started from the bottom and worked my way up since I didn't want to be too far up, but I couldn't help feeling more and more anxious when I couldn't find myself near the bottom of the list. The further up I got, the more anxious I became.

That was until I reached the very top of the list.

There were over a thousand participants in this first trial, so I started to panic when I reached the top hundred. Even then, I still wasn't able to find my name, so I had to keep going up higher.

I went all the way to the top of the list and that was when I finally found my name.

It was right there on the very top…

My name was on top of every other name that was on this list.

Then right beneath me were Tammy, Alex, and Julius' names. Further down from that were the names of my group, Alex's group, Julius' group, and Tammy's Sol Warriors.

It seemed that we had far surpassed anyone else who had been in the dungeon with us, so we were without a doubt the top contenders.

I had thought that there would have been others who would have been able to surpass us, but that didn't seem to be the case…so that put me right at the top and that gathered everyone's attention.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"It's him! It's that person from Elementia that everyone was talking about."

"It seems that he teamed up with Tammy…did you see how close they were?"

"He doesn't really seem that handsome, does he?"

That last one hurt.

I had to admit that the last one hurt.

The host had given everyone time to look at the rankings for the first round, but after that he didn't waste any time in saying, "Those that ranked at the top of this first round will receive a special reward. This will help you in the second round."

Though he said this, there was no one that came forward to hand over these special rewards.

Was it because they would be given later or was it because of something else?

No one really got a chance to ponder that question as the host continued by saying, "We shall now begin the second round."

When he said this, everyone was shocked.

After all, not a single person had expected the tournament to run like this.

They had just spent twenty four hours in a dungeon, which was something that was quite tiring. Now they were being told that they would have to go through the second round right after that without any rest…

It was naturally hard for them.

There were many that looked at the host with looks of complaint, but the host just ignored all of them as he continued by saying, "I'm sure that all of you are wondering what this second round will be."

With a snap of his fingers, there was a door that suddenly appeared out of the ground.

Though to call it a door was a bit strange since this really wasn't a door because it didn't really lead anywhere. It was better to call this thing a portal since there was a swirl of energy that was inside of this door frame.

After this portal appeared, the host said, "You will now take this portal to the special zone set up for this second round. There you will find a test that will measure your various stats and abilities. This will measure your basic abilities and measure how qualified you are to be here."

All of the participants couldn't help revealing strange looks when they heard this.

This almost seemed like an insult to them since they were all chosen from the large guilds in the first place. It was as if they were saying that they had been chosen for their connections rather than their abilities.

They naturally couldn't accept this that easily.

But I had something else in mind.

They didn't say who had passed and who had failed this first round.

The only thing that they did was bring this board up in front of us with our names and scores, there wasn't any indication on who passed and who failed.

As if in response to this, the host suddenly said, "Oh right, before I forget."

There was another snap of his fingers before holes opened up in the ground. These holes appeared under certain people and those people dropped down into those holes without being able to react.

The host then said with a smile, "There, those are the ones that failed."
