I Became the Demon King of Lust

As soon as I heard this, I couldn't help knitting my brows.

Though I had no idea who this small dragon was, my instincts told me that it definitely wouldn't be anyone simple.

So perhaps I might be able to get some very important information from it.

After a moment of silence, I asked the obvious first question, "Who are you?"

The small dragon gave a chuckle before saying, "We both know that it's impossible for me to answer this question. You don't have to play around like this, you can just ask what you really want to ask and I'll answer."

I revealed a faint smile as well when I heard this.

Yes, like the small dragon said, this was just a test to see what it would say.

I hadn't expected anything out of this, but hearing the small dragon say this, I couldn't help feeling a bit disappointed. After all, there was a small part of me that had hoped that I had been wrong.

So I thought about it a bit while muttering, "So I assume that the unregistered planet and anything related to that is the biggest taboo there is…"

The small dragon gave a nod as it said, "That's right."

I just ignored it as I continued talking to myself as if I was thinking things through.

But there was something that caught my attention out of the corner of my eyes.

It was the timer that was above the portal that was still counting down.

Right…it wasn't as if I had infinite time here.

There was a limit to the time that I had, so I couldn't waste it trying to figure out what to ask for too long.

I looked back up at the small dragon and asked, "What is this place?"

For now, that was the most important and most pertinent thing to me.

There must be a reason why the small dragon appeared in front of me in this trial, so it was better to figure out what this place was.

The small dragon gave a nod before saying, "Alright, I can answer that."

The small dragon spun around while gesturing as if it was referring to the room that we were in before saying, "This place is called the Tower of Trials, it is a place that is connected to many different worlds. It is a place that is used to test one's abilities and one's talents and those that receive a high enough rating…"

The small dragon was about to keep going, but it found that there was something that was preventing it from saying the next words.

After trying a few times, the small dragon said with a sigh, "I guess that's censored then. It's not something important, but they are actually censoring this…Well, I guess that's fine since it's not that important. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Your journey continues with empire

I couldn't help being a bit taken aback when I heard this, but then I asked, "What's in the floors above this. I heard that there are a total of fifty floors, so can you tell me what's above this?"

The small dragon thought about it before nodding and shaking its head. After it did this, it said, "I can't tell you everything, but I can give you a few hints."

I just gave a simple nod in response and waited for these hints.

The small dragon stroked its chin as if it was thinking before saying, "The thirty seventh floor, look carefully to the east. At the edge of this room, there's one tile that is loose that contains treasures that will be useful to you."

I was even more surprised when I heard this before quickly asking, "Then the rooms that I've already done…"

I didn't finish my words, but the meaning behind it was clear.

The small dragon revealed a faint smile as it said, "Well if you miss it, you miss it. There's nothing that can be done about that, right?"

A bitter smile crept on my face when I heard this, but I also didn't have a choice but to accept this.

After all, the small dragon was right.

After a moment of silence, the small dragon added, "For the last floor, you will meet an old acquaintance. If you plan on beating her, then be sure to do it within five minutes. If you take longer than that, then something bad will happen."

There was a part of me that really wanted to ask what this bad thing was, but I couldn't just ask since I knew that I wouldn't get an answer.

If it wanted to tell me, then it would have said it directly.

Since it didn't want to say it, then there was nothing that I could do.

After gathering my thoughts, I took a deep breath and turned to head to the portal.

There were still five minutes left on the timer, but I didn't think that I would be able to get anything out of this small dragon. Since I wouldn't be able to get anything, there was no point in hanging out here any longer.

But the small dragon suddenly said with a smile, "Young man, you really are in too much of a rush. You should slow down from time to time and learn to enjoy life while you can."

I turned around to look at the small dragon before turning back to the portal.

Seeing this, the small dragon shook its head and said, "Wait, I still have something that I want to discuss with you."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

I was surprised, but I did turn back since it seemed like the small dragon did want something with me. I just had no idea what it wanted.

After a pause, the small dragon said, "I want us to become closer, but to do that, I would need to…"

It didn't finish as it fell into deep thought before suddenly saying, "Alright, I know what to do."

There was another bundle of light that appeared on the frozen dragon.
