Chapter 545 - Second, Third and Fourth Rooms.

Feeling the strange sensation disappear and her control over killing intent returning, Shiro opened her eyes and looked around her.

The moment she opened her eyes, a blush immediately appeared on her face since she couldn't believe what was happening.

[Second Room: Calamity of L.u.s.t.]

Your resistances to L.u.s.t have been severely lowered.

Clear condition: Do not give into l.u.s.t and make it to the end of the room. The moment you do, you will be eliminated.

Looking at the countless people making love around her, Shiro couldn't help but blush at the sight and looked around for Yin. There were already l.u.s.tful thoughts entering her mind but she quickly bit her tongue and focused on the pain so that she could distract herself. She didn't need Attie seeing all this after all.

Finding Yin crouching in the corner while activating all her stealth skills, Shiro quickly dashed over. Thankfully, nothing had happened yet.

"Are you ok?" She asked while hugging Yin.

Nodding her head, Yin had sweat coating her body.

"Let's get out of here."

Standing up while holding Yin's hand, Shiro tried her best to avoid looking at the scenes.

{Weren't you quite ok with seeing Chen Yu when he just came out of the shower? How come you're affected to this extent now?} Nimue raised her eyebrows.

'Didn't you see the notification? My resistance to L.u.s.t has been severely lowered. Otherwise, do you think I'll be blushing like this?' Shiro pouted in embarrassment.

{Well I thought you were just being a maiden. After all, you've been quite open recently.} Nimue chuckled.

Ignoring Nimue's teasing, Shiro saw Nan Tian who immediately placed his mask back on after several women started to walk towards him.

"Do you know how to get out of here?" Nan Tian asked with some difficulty. He tried his best not to look at Shiro right now since the last of his control might just fly out the window with a glance.

"Nope but I have a better idea." Shiro said while looking down at the ground.

Before entering this site, she had already scanned the entire place so she knew that the rooms are actually stacked on top of one another. If she did things properly then she could potentially drill a hole straight to the heart of the situation.

"I'll need you two to cover me while I do this because I swear to god, if a n.a.k.e.d person jumps on me in the next few moments, people are gonna die and I'm going to be enjoying it." Shiro said while crouching down.

"Don't worry, we got you covered." Nan Tian smiled however Shiro only rolled her eyes.

"You're the one I'm most on guard with. Look at our level disparity and tell me if I'll be able to fight back should you lose all f*cking reason and become someone who only thinks with their d*ck?" Shiro glanced over at him.

*COUGH!

Coughing awkwardly, Nan Tian didn't know how to reply.

Shaking her head, Shiro ignored the two and started to look for a good spot to start her work.

After finding a suitable position, she slammed her hand down as a tier 4 magic circle expanded out from her palm.

Activating her tectonic quake attunement, the ground started to shake as dust fell from the ceiling. However, despite the room beginning to cave in onto itself, there were still people committed to the act and Shiro couldn't help but praise their 'tenacity'.

*RUMBLE!!!!

As she increased the output of her spell, a fifth layer started to flicker on her magic circle but was unfortunately not able to become a tier 5 spell. However, it was enough for her goal.

[Warning! Pseudo dungeon's trial is being forcefully broken.]

[Effects of Calamity of L.u.s.t is being cancelled.]

*BANG!!!!!

Shattering the floor into pieces, Shiro could see the people coming back to their senses as they were falling through the ground.

Grinning slightly, Shiro grabbed Yin into her arms and started to slow down their descent.

[Due to the situation in the Calamity of L.u.s.t, your results are now being calculated… You have met the clear condition despite the anomaly so you are granted access into the third room. Those who have failed will be teleported out.]

"Ouch. That's gotta be embarrassing." Shiro laughed while looking up at the disappearing figures.

Just imagining their faces when they're teleported out of the site nude gave her a good chuckled.

[You have entered the third room. Calamity of Laziness.]

To clear this trial, you have to find the motivation which propels your life. If you don't, you will fall into a deep slumber that is hard to break free from.

Raising her eyebrows, Shiro wondered about what propels her life.

It was simple.

'To kill the light bastard and survive the age of demons and gods.' Shiro thought with a smile.

Unfortunately, this was not enough.

[That is a temporary goal. Clear conditions have not been met yet. 'Sleepiness' will now build up.]

"Huh?" Tilting her head, Shiro frowned when the trial seemed to reject her answer.

Thinking about it for a moment, she could see where it was coming from. Once she survives the age of demons and gods, what's next? What did she want to do with the rest of her life?

While she was wondering about this, a light had already enveloped Nan Tian's body.

"Seems like it's a pretty simple trial." He chuckled as his body started to fade.

"What was your 'motivation'?" Shiro asked curiously.

"Hm… it's a secret." Nan Tian laughed as his body disappeared.

Frowning slightly, Shiro shook her head and looked towards Yin who also had a similar light encase her body.

"Huh… I didn't think that it would actually accept my motivation of enjoying as many delicacies I could." Yin had an awkward expression on her face.

Shiro could only look at her with a blank expression and shook her head.

"I suppose it's not tied to a scenario so it works." Shiro smiled as Yin faded away.

Since Yin wanted to enjoy as many delicacies in the world, she could do this even during the age of demons and gods so it counted as her motivation through life.

Thinking up of this point, Shiro wondered what her 'true' motivation was.

She knew that she felt most alive when fighting things and testing her capabilities but there was a limit to it.

"What do I want to do?" She muttered while landing softly on the third floor. Looking around her, she saw that it was similar to a meditation room of sorts. One that allowed someone to calm their minds.

However, Shiro didn't care about the environment since she could be calm anywhere. What she did care about was what she had wanted to do.

Does she want to keep fighting? No. Because even though she felt alive when fighting, she knew that there was a limit and that eventually, it'll break her.

Does she want peace? This was a confusing question for her. While she does want peace, she was someone who couldn't live without violence. Fighting people/monsters allowed her to express the repressed stress that would build up hence why peace was a confusing goal for her. She did have hobbies such as playing the flute or making juice but they were only distractions for when she needed to go a long time without fighting.

It's akin to a smoking addict trying to stop smoking through distractions such as eating a lollipop whenever they get the urge to smoke.

For Shiro, this was a temporary solution to a growing problem.

'Do I want to create a family then?' She wondered. Whether that was with someone she'll meet in the future or someone she already knew, she wondered if what she wanted was a family as she was denied one in her first life.

She had a mother, a father, siblings and children in this life. While she didn't give birth to them herself, she treated them as if they were. She wondered if that was what she had been aiming for this entire time. She slowly accepted Yin's initial joke of her being her mum and soon, she adopted Lisandra into her 'family'. Then there was also Attie who came along later down the line.

Smiling softly, she figured out her main goal in life.

"I'll secure a good world for my family so that they can enjoy themselves." She muttered. She didn't wish for a peaceful world nor one riddled with danger, just one that allowed them to enjoy themselves to their heart's content. And the first thing she needed to do in order to accomplish this was to survive the age of demons and gods.

Giving a second answer, she received a notification.

[Clear conditions met, you will now be teleported to the fourth room. Calamity of Famine.]
