I Became the Demon King of Lust

I still had to go to a dungeon today since this was what I should be doing as a poor F Ranker.

I had to keep up appearances so that they wouldn't suspect me for what happened.

But in reality, I did have to make money as well since I was getting close to running out of money.

I could have used my new powers to make money, but that wasn't a good choice either since most of the things that I could do with these powers…were considered illegal. I didn't want to pile on more crimes on top of what I had already done.

So I headed to an E Rank Dungeon.

There were F Rank Dungeons, but they were completely for beginners and wouldn't earn me any money at all. The only things that were in those dungeons were trash monsters that wouldn't drop anything worthwhile at all.

So I had decided to head to an E Rank Dungeon.

If I was a normal F Ranker, this might be considered suicide.

After all, the monsters in E Rank Dungeons were much stronger than normal people who hadn't awakened. Even D Rankers would find it hard to deal with some of the elite monsters that spawned there.

As for why it was considered an E Rank dungeon, it was because in theory, a group of E Rankers should be able to clear it.

A group of awakeners was different from a single awakener since they had different powers. Working together, they would be able to exert power far beyond what just a single one of them would be able to do.

Tank, DPS, and healer, those were the three main roles that awakeners were divided into. There were also smaller roles as supporters to a party that some awakeners and non awakeners played.

With the power that I had received, I would fit in that role of supporter.

After all, Suggestion wasn't considered a power that any of the three main roles would have.

So when I arrived at the entrance of the E Rank Dungeon, I didn't even bother looking around for a party.

There were plenty of awakeners that were at the entrance looking for people for their parties, but I knew that it would be meaningless for me to try. If I were to try, I would just be ignored by them because of the power that I officially had.

The other reason I didn't bother looking for a party was…because there was no need for me to find one in the first place. I was more than capable of taking care of the things in this dungeon on my own.

When I reached the entrance of the dungeon, the lady who managed the entrance looked at me with a raised brow after seeing my Awakener License.

She was clearly doubtful of my chances of surviving in this place, but she didn't say anything as she opened the entrance to the dungeon for me.

There were no rules about what rank one needed to be to go into dungeons, so there was nothing restricting me from entering this place.

But everyone knew that if a single F Ranker entered a place like this alone, it would be like seeking death.

Still, in the end, she said with a sigh, "Good luck."

And then she still opened the door for me.

In front of me was a swirling blue thing that seemed like it was made of energy.

It was without a doubt a very strange thing to see, but I wasn't surprised by this since I already knew what this was. Everyone who wanted to be an awakener knew what this thing was.

It was the entrance to a dungeon.

Dungeons were spaces that existed outside of the space of Earth that contained monsters. If they weren't cleared out regularly, there would be dungeon breaks that happened.

Dungeon breaks were when the monsters inside of the dungeon spilled out into Earth.

When the dungeons first appeared, dungeon breaks had happened quite often because people didn't go into these dungeons to clear them.

In those days, people were more interested in learning how to use the new powers that they had received instead of risking their lives fighting monsters.

But nowadays, with the Awakener Association managing these awakeners, there were almost no dungeon breaks at all. Other than a few dungeons that appeared in uninhabited places where people didn't find them until dungeon breaks happened, most dungeons were cleared out regularly.

That was because each monster that was killed would drop some kind of loot and this loot would always be worth money.

So in a sense, dungeons could be considered gold mines if you were strong enough.

But if you weren't, they were abysses of death that had danger around every corner.

However, that was where I was heading now.

Taking a deep breath, I thanked the receptionist before taking a step through the portal.

When I walked through, I saw a bright flash of light before it felt like I was walking on air. When my foot landed on something, I found that I was inside of a cave.

But I wasn't surprised to find myself here since I already knew what I was getting into.

This was the E Rank Dungeon, the Beginner Cave.

This was a dungeon that was filled with monsters that were perfect for a beginner to fight, which was how it had received its name.

But one shouldn't make a mistake in thinking that this place was easy.

After all, this was still an E Rank Dungeon for a reason.

The place that I arrived in was filled with people and was well lit because this was a dungeon that was managed by the Awakener Association.

So they had already built up infrastructure inside of the dungeon for all those that came.

But of course, that was only at the entrance where awakeners entered.

Once one went further in, it became a more and more natural dungeon.

With that, I took a deep breath and walked out into the dungeon.

What I didn't notice was that there had been a few pairs of eyes on me as I walked out.

The look in them…certainly wasn't kind.
