Lonely At The Top
It's undeniably lonely at the top, so lonely that one may wonder why everyone strives to reach it. The Demon Lord sat upon his throne, contemplating when his long and solitary life might come to an end. He hadn't been born into this position; once, he was the lowliest of his kind. Born as a low-born demon, he had fought his way to the throne, a dream shared by demons from high-born to low-born. In this realm, only the strongest could attain the pinnacle and command fear from others. Since everyone coveted the top spot, few managed to hold it for long—until he became the strongest. His strength was unparalleled, unchallenged by any other."My lord," the only human residing in the demon realm responded to the Demon Lord's summons."Lucian," the Demon Lord sighed."You summoned me," Lucian replied. Kidnapped by demons during a foray into the human realm, Lucian had been spared by the Demon Lord, who brought him to his palace. Over the decades, Lucian had regaled the Demon Lord with tales

Pinnacle Of Sword
The demon lord engaged the hordes in combat. Demons had a lot of magic, but due to the nature of their realm, they mostly used fire magic. Many of them employed fire magic to fight against the demon lord, who relied solely on his sword. The demon lord didn't cower; he kept cutting down their fire and any demon that blocked his way. The swing of his sword was so powerful that it would cut several demons in half. This continued as he fought his way through. The leader of the attack noticed that they might not succeed if it continued like this. While looking for an opening, he noticed how the demon lord was trying to protect the human."Attack the human," he ordered, and they all concentrated their attack on the human. The demon lord knew this would happen, but he was prepared to do anything to protect the human. He used his body to shield Lucian from the fireballs shot at him. For the first time in his life, Lucian rooted for the demon lord. It became harder to protect Lucian from the m

The Numbers
It has been more than a century since Lucian returned from the demon realm and told them about the peace. Just as he said, no demon had appeared for over a century. When Lucian stepped out from the gate, awakeners were already waiting for the demons that would come out from the gate. Everyone was surprised to see a human walk out of the gate. Whenever the portal is used in the demon realm, it creates a tear in the human realm from which they walk out. The arrival of Lucian shook the human realm. When he told them of the peace, everyone started seeing him as the hero who brought the peace. Lucian didn't tell them about the demon lord; he just told them he had destroyed the portal before stepping in. Even after he died, they still called him the hero of the world.With the peace that humans got, they used the time to develop their weapons. They went ahead to make alliances with the elves and even had the elves live among them to teach them some elf magic. They also went into an alliance

Dante, The Enduring One.
Levi was surprised to know that 626 was pregnant. He never knew the children he once kidnapped from the orphanage and streets had grown to the extent of testing the forbidden fruit."Who is the father?" He asked, but got no reply. "Would you prefer their heads to explode?" He asked as he touched the device hanging on his necklace. 626 noticed the action, which gave her the answer to one of their biggest questions. They had always wondered how Levi was able to make their heads explode. So she had just realized it was the device he attached to his necklace."707," she lied and called the one Levi killed earlier today."Well, it doesn't matter. Maybe this child will be the key to everything." Levi's eyes glistened.From then onwards, Dr. Levi started taking care of 626. He never allowed her to have any encounter with the others. So, even though 626 had discovered the device that makes their heads explode, there was no way to tell others. Also, her health kept deteriorating. Days turned t

Phobia For Sword
It has been fifteen years since the incident. Abigail took the child and went to a rural area to live; she had changed her identity to protect herself and the boy and to make sure the boy drew no attention to himself. She developed a medicine for the baby that would block his ability to use any element. She knew the boy's life would be in danger if Mr. Tilo ever finds him."Dante!" Abigail called her son for the tenth time. "I wonder where he is now, Dante!" She called again."Mrs. Joan," A beautiful teenage girl called Abigail. She no longer bore the name Abigail. When she arrived in the town with a new baby, she told everyone her name was Joan, and that her husband had just died. Everyone welcomed her, and they felt lucky since she became their healer and started helping the little town."I saw him with Adam; they said they want to check their trap," the girl explained to Mrs. Joan."Thanks, Vida," Mrs. Joan replied to the kind girl who always came to help her with house chores.

The Voice From The Past
After Vida left, nothing was ever the same for the boys. Their normal school wasn't the same anymore since they didn't have Vida to always make sure they behaved."Another boring day in school," Adam lamented as they ate their lunch."Well, today's lunch tastes better," Gavin remarked"With you, every lunch always tastes better," Adam rolled his eyes before turning to Dante, who was just about to take his medication. "Why do you always take this medicine?""My mom said I was a very sick child, so I need this drug," Dante answered before gulping down the drug."Have you ever tried not taking them?" Gavin asked."Yes, I tried once, and I passed out. I need to take it at least once every day," Dante replied."Alright," Adam replied. With Vida gone, the boys had no other option than to adapt. They continued with their sword training and laying traps to catch rabbits. Unfortunately, with Vida gone, Mrs. Joan's soup wasn't as great anymore. The lady had to admit that Vida was the reason th

Awakening As An S-rank Swordmaster
"Stay back," Adam was doing his best to chase away the blood dogs and protect his family. Everyone was in a similar situation. Many had lost their lives at the hands of the beasts, and help was still far away. Adam struck one of the dogs on the head with his wooden sword. Gavin was also trying his best to protect his two little sisters. He couldn't find his mom and dad."Dante!" one of Gavin's sisters yelled as she pointed at Dante. They all looked at the boy, and something about him was different. They couldn't say what, but they knew Dante would be able to save them."Oh no," Dante muttered as the monsters turned their attention toward him. Though he couldn't remember his past life, his skills still remained. So for that very reason, he could use a fraction of his skills, and the fraction was enough to take care of the monsters. Dante picked up a crowbar from the ground. Normally, monsters from the gates couldn't be harmed by ordinary objects since they were magical creatures. But D

Unfazed Dante
At first, everyone was surprised to see Mr. Jacob, but upon reflection, they found it normal. Since becoming the headmaster of the Golden Lion Academy, he had been obsessed with recruiting every S-rank he could find, even going as far as visiting other countries and realms allied with humans. Many despised his greediness, but no one could oppose Mr. Jacob. Supported by powerful allies, he himself was a formidable S-rank fire mage. At over fifty years old, he was not to be underestimated, capable of leveling an entire city with his powers.As the crowd prepared to see what Mr. Jacob had to offer, Mrs. Joan felt her world crumbling. She feared Mr. Jacob might recognize her, so she restrained herself from rushing to Dante's side."Hello, young hero. I am Mr. Jacob," he said, extending his hand to Dante.Mr. Jacob was a tall, imposing figure with a commanding presence. His greying hair was neatly trimmed, and his piercing brown eyes bore into those he looked at. His deep voice was both so

Protecting My Ordinary Life
"You," Dante stated, his face a mix of shock and realization."Hehehehe," Miss Sapphire laughed. "Are you surprised to see me?""Truly, I am." Dante was certain everyone had left, and even if anyone were still around, they wouldn’t be brave enough to approach him again."Would you be kind enough to invite me inside? I don't mind standing outside, but with the countless reporters taking pictures, I feel uncomfortable," Sapphire said."Sure." Dante stepped aside, and she entered. Even before Sapphire could take a seat, her picture with Dante had already reached the city and caused a major commotion, a commotion Sapphire would only get to know about when she returned."Mrs. Joan." Sapphire smiled warmly at Mrs. Joan. From just a glance, Mrs. Joan could tell what kind of person Sapphire was, so she returned the smile."Dante, get our visitor something to drink.""There would be no need for that. I'm sure I have little time before my phone starts to ring." Though Sapphire was not aware of

Arriving At The City
Dante helped his village repair what was broken after they held funerals for those who had died. Everyone was surprised to see that Dante was still the sweet, humble boy they had watched grow up, and his powers hadn’t made him arrogant. The reporters left three days later when they realized they would get nothing from Dante. He had once smashed a reporter's camera for taking a photo of his mother. Most reporters would throw a tantrum, but after seeing Dante's cold glare, the reporter lost all intention of complaining. The incident served as a warning to others, and none of them dared to try taking a picture of his mother again until they left.“Why don’t you want to call her and have her come pick you up?” Mrs. Joan asked her son. After repairing the village and spending some days with his friends, Dante decided it was time to leave. Instead of calling Miss Sapphire, he chose to take the journey alone.“I want to experience the journey myself,” he replied with a smile.“The city is no
