"I am going to take a bath now." Gina said. "Does anyone want to join me?"
"I will." Tilly replied. "Can't wait to get this saltwater off me."
"I will too." Doreen said.
"Coming." All the other girls said.
"A bath full of beautiful girls and one former old dude." Joshua said. "This is the kind of thing a protagonist dreams of. Only instead of sneaking a peek, I was invited. Being the demon lord is epic. I never got this in my old life."
"Pardon." The hologram spoke as Joshua started eagerly walking to the bath. "There is something you should know about the trial ahead, adventurer."
"And there's the running." Joshua said with a sigh as he turned back to face the hologram. "Okay so what is the bad news that is going to prevent me from joining the lovely ladies over there?"
"This portal behind me will only allow one person through at a time." The hologram said. "This rest area also serves as a waiting area for potential combatants. Parties are not allowed beyond this point."
