The Dungeon Conquerors: Journey to the Peak

As the first part came to an end, everyone left the guild battle arena and went on their way. Lauren joined Rein, Tasha and Stella for dinner. It was still a bit early for that though so they first decided to go to a library and chat about magic and other interesting things.

Other than Rein, Stella was also a good conversation partner of Lauren as she was also a researcher just like her. On the other hand, Tasha was not a good match as she did not like complex topics or formulas when having casual talk.

Very soon Lauren also became good friends with Stella. Stella was actually very impressed with Lauren. Even though her power level was quite a bit lower than Stella's own, her ideas were very innovative and unique.

Stella, Tasha and Rein would be separated for the next part of the test. What kind of test the second one would be was not told today. All the participants who passed the first test would gather in the adventure guild tomorrow to get the information about the next part of the test.

It was pretty obvious that the next test area for the adventurers of the different ranks would be different. So Rein and his lovers might need to stay away from each other for some time, which was a very sad thing for them.

After having dinner together, Lauren returned to her inn and Rein went back to his own with his lovers. Then obviously they spent a sleepless night while fucking like crazy.

...

After entering the guild all the participants were sent to different private rooms to get their information. So Rein, Tasha and Stella had to separate immediately.

After entering the room allocated for the Mithril rank ascension test, Rein saw that he was the last person to enter and all the other participants were already present. Seeing him Lauren immediately beckoned him over as she had saved a seat for Rein beside her. Rein took the seat and thanked her.

Soon a guild staff appeared and started to tell them about the next test. For the next test the test takers needed to collect some items from a forest called "Dreadful Touvic Woods". It was a dangerous zone filled with rank 4 monsters with several rank 3 ones present inside.

It was also said that there was a rank 2 monster present in that forest.

The test takers had to find certain ingredients that could be found only inside that forest. And they also needed to spend at least 3 days inside the forest too. The test takers could make teams with one another or could try it solo.

Several mithril rankers would be in charge of observing them for the duration of that time. Any type of dishonesty would make the adventurer to be disqualified from the test.

It was a pretty simple and straightforward way to judge the capability of future mithril ranks. If they went solo, then that adventurer's powers, decision making and other criteria could be judged.

And if the adventures take the test as a team, then their nature, coordination, leading capability and other criteria could be judged.

As soon as the details of the second test were explained, Lauren asked Rein who was sitting beside her if they could team up. Rein had no problem teaming up with someone as capable as her so he immediately agreed. But he was not going to invite the other men and he told that straight to Lauren.

He also said that he wanted to spend some time with her and her alone.

It was Lauren's first time feeling something like love. She had seen many men before who had lusted after her or admired her, but she had never felt any attraction toward them.

Lauren was not someone completely unaware of what love was and just like most girls had a desire to fall in love with a man of her dreams.

She wanted that man to cherish and adore her. To keep her closer for forever. That was the ideal kind of love she was searching for. But she had never managed to find such love, so much so that she started to doubt if her ideals were weird and that type of passionate love did not exist.

But that was the past.

After seeing Rein, at first she was only excited because he was some of the rare few individuals who could keep up with her conversation. But so far she had not thought of him as anything but a normal friend.

Then at the competition she was able to feel his reluctance in leaving his girlfriends behind and his passionate love for them which was like a burning fire. It was warm and comfortable but could also burn you to death.

But that kind of love was Lauren's ideal. She wanted to be loved like a burning fire and wanted to love the person back in the same way. If her lover did not pay enough attention to her, she wanted to kill him and if she did not show enough love to her lover, she also wanted to get killed by him.

So, she tried to act a bit more intimate with Rein, which was not actually hard because after seeing Rein one shotting the Tyroductel in a very cool fashion, Lauren's respect for Rein was almost overflowing.

Then when she started to finally direct her love toward Rein, she got feedback of very possessive, heavy and dark feelings of love also directed toward her.

That made a shiver run down her spine, but that was a very pleasurable shiver.

Since that time, Rein had changed his attitude toward her. Even though he still gave her all the attention and cared for her as a friend, there was still a distance between them.

But after she directed her loving feelings towards Rein, he immediately closed all the distance between them and started to shower her with more care and more attention. Every time Rein praised her for something, she felt extremely good.

When Rein was cheering for her and praised her for her performance, she felt so good that her panty got a bit wet. Since that time she knew that she wanted to confess her feelings to Rein.

After seeing his other girlfriends and how happy they looked, her intention of becoming Rein's lover just like them became stronger inside her. So she wanted to use this second test to close all the distance between her and Rein.

That's why she asked Rein to join her and was extremely happy when he agreed. She was even happier when Rein showed his possessive and domineering side by not allowing her to invite anyone else over. She had a little accident in her lower region early in the morning because of this.

The three remaining test takers also made a team. Then everyone left the guild and went for their targeted destination. Stella and Tasha had already left the city to accomplish their test missions in a different location.

They were planning to finish their test as soon as possible to go back to Rein immediately.

The second test had already started.
