Dante had just woken up after voluntarily entering the portal that connected him to the world of nowhere called Niflheim. He would participate in Game of the Destiny there.
Dante ran from a pack of three-headed ferocious wolves who looked very hungry. Unfortunately for him, of course, it was the first time he had seen an animal in Cerberus form like that.
Dante began to run out of breath, he could not run well in the very thick snow on the land.
Dante was cornered, now that a pack of strange wolves had surrounded him, the man really couldn't move anymore.
The leader of the Cerberus herd let out a loud howl, his voice as if it could burst eardrums. The herd of beasts attacked in unison. Dante panicked, he thought it was a very silly ending for him. As the representative of the human race, should he die just from being devoured by wolves?
A magic circle formed automatically between the man's legs, just before the wolf was about to pounce on him, a beam of fire shot out from the magic circle, creating a very hot and smoldering wall of fire.
Dante was very surprised by that. He knew it was a power he had, but he couldn't control it.
It was no ordinary fire, it was a blackish red flame that was many times hotter than ordinary fire. One of the wolves hit by the fire immediately howled in pain, the wolf tried to extinguish the fire that hit its front paws by burying it in the snow. But instead of being extinguished, the fire grew bigger and soon spread and began to burn the entire body of the wolf very quickly. It seemed that the fire had a passive effect that was immune to cold and snow.
The other wolves immediately retreated, they no longer showed their ferocious attitude. The leader of the three-headed wolves began to bend his front legs, he looked submissive and afraid of Dante.
The magic circle at Dante's feet just disappeared, the panic has now subsided making him unconsciously stop the magic defense he made.
From a distance, Dante can see a group of soldiers on horses, behind which is a magnificent chariot drawn by two horses at once.
Dante squinted at the leader of the three-headed wolf pack, he wanted the herd to leave immediately. Unexpectedly it seems that the leader of the pack of wolves understood what Dante wanted, he howled loudly as if ordering his pack to leave that place.
The cavalry group immediately stopped right in front of Dante. One of the horsemen immediately dismounted and opened the door of the majestic carriage.
"We have been waiting for your arrival Prince!" said the driver, as he ushered Dante in.
As George said, Dante would soon be welcomed by the soldiers of the kingdom of the human race in the land.
Dante lowered his head, and he happily entered the majestic carriage, at least he didn't have to look for the existence of the human race kingdom he had to lead in the game. After all, if he hung around in the cold for too long like that, he could freeze to death.
"Nice to meet you prince!" said a well-built man who had been on the train first. He is Gustave, a captain who leads a troop unit in the human race kingdom.
"Introducing, I am Gustave, the Captain in charge of every troop unit in the kingdom!" the man bowed slightly to Dante.
The atmosphere was very awkward at that time, Dante didn't know how to respond to the man.
"Can you straighten your body!" said Dante. The man felt uncomfortable.
"With all due respect Prince!" Gustave answered, now he straightened himself again.
Gustave reached for his pocket watch which looked very ancient. He said that a welcoming ceremony would take place soon. Wasting no time, Gustave immediately ordered his men to bring them back to the palace.
******
The residents and soldiers of the human race kingdom seemed to have prepared a welcoming ceremony to welcome Dante's arrival. The king had even prepared his best attire just to welcome the man who was the representative of mankind from his original world.
Not long after, the troops that had picked up Dante finally arrived at the royal gates. The residents and royal officials immediately gathered in the palace square, while the king seemed to have descended from his throne.
"They have arrived, sir!" reported a soldier in charge of overseeing the gate.
"Good. Get ready for the welcoming ceremony. We have to welcome and prove that person's worthiness as the prince of fire this time!" the king orders.
Instead of preparing a festive welcome party, the troops immediately prepared some arrows that they pointed at the palace gates. While Dante who was outside the palace did not know the plan. They will attack Dante suddenly. They needed to prove whether the person who would lead them in Game of the Destiny this time was worthy.
Gustave motioned for Dante to get off the train they were in. With all due respect, he asked Dante to immediately enter the royal gate alone. Of course, Dante was surprised by that, but he had no other choice but to obey.
"Enter the palace. Master and other higher-ups are waiting for you!" said Gustave respectfully.
Reluctantly Dante could only fulfill that request. He walked slowly towards the gate. There was no need to touch it, the palace gate suddenly opened by itself.
How surprised Dante was to find some arrows had been thrown at him.
Dante reflexively raised one of his hands in the air, before the arrow could approach, a magic circle shot out from his palm. A burst of fire swept away all the arrows, burning them to the ground.
The king gave Dante a standing ovation. The man had passed the first test given by the old man.
The king immediately ordered one of his trusted soldiers to give Dante a royal robe.
"Welcome Prince!" said the king. Meanwhile, his trusted soldier immediately gave the robe he was carrying to Dante.
Dante was very annoyed, how could they greet him with such an arrow attack?
"No offense prince, it's just proof!" said the king. The man knew that Dante was angry.
"Bring that thing over here!" the king orders.
A middle-aged man walked over, he brought a sword to give to Dante.
The middle-aged man who was the king's advisor immediately knelt right in front of Dante. He raised the sword with both hands towards Dante.
Not what Dante thought. Not a fancy sword of good quality. On the contrary, the sword looks very old and rusty, and some parts also appear to be cracked.
"Take that thing!" said the king.
Dante was starting to feel very annoyed like he was being toyed with by the king.
But again Dante had no other choice, he could only do what the king wanted at the time.
Dante grabbed the sword with his left hand. Suddenly something crazy happened. The sword started to ignite, a burning feeling was even felt in Dante's palm. Dante raised the sword into the air, like a miracle. The worn and rusty-looking sword looked like it was repairing itself. The sword seemed to rob some of the energy from Dante's body.
An incomparably bright light enveloped the sword, all eyes closed due to the radiance.
A wave of light was released and disappeared in an instant. The waves of light were even felt throughout the land. Now the sword looks very beautiful.
The king, higher-ups, citizens, and all the soldiers who were there seemed to be cheering by shouting his name.
"Prince of fire..."
"Prince of fire..."
"Prince of fire..."
The whole kingdom screamed.
"There's no mistaking it, you are the prince of fire!" said the king, the old man bowed, followed by equal treatment by every individual in the kingdom.

Back to the very beginning.London 1980. Dante ran very fast. He had just managed to rob an old woman who was walking alone in the middle of the streets of London. That night was very cold. Dante only wore a thin coat that looked very shabby, while his irregular breathing seemed to cause a puff of smoke because the air in the city was too cold. "Damn, is she just a poor woman!" Dante cursed. He didn't find much money in the wallet he had just forcibly got. The man's stomach rumbled, while the other street children were currently waiting for him to return with food. Dante cried. If only he was educated, maybe he could get a better job than stealing or robbing someone. The man cursed himself. He couldn't do much, while the children had high hopes for him. Finding a small shop selling bread, Dante thoughtlessly ran and entered it. "Give me some bread!" Dante threatened with a penknife which he pointed at the salesman. The old owner just stood there s

Dante and Rose ran to Mikel, they were afraid something bad would happen to the boy. "What happened?" asked Dante, the man immediately checked the boy's condition. Mikel just stood staring at the black plastic bag, he pointed at the bag, while his face looked very tense. Dante immediately approached the bag. It could be that the object contained in it is something dangerous. Rose held Dante's hand, she wanted him to be careful. Dante nodded in understanding, he started walking slowly towards the bag. How surprised he was to find some money in the bag. Dante's hands were shaking, how could a bag of money be where they lived? "Money, where does it come from?" said Dante, confused. Mikel just stared at Dante without saying anything. "Mikel, who gave you this bag?" asked Dante. "Two men in black suits!" Mikel replied. "Agents J and R!" Dante squealed. "So it's not bullshit!" said Dante. Dante's hands shook violently, with the mo

The innkeeper was very surprised when he found Dante who was unconscious right on the edge of the fish pond in front of his inn. Not only that, he was even more surprised when he found that the pond now only left a little boiling water, while the fish in it died like gravy. The innkeeper immediately called his wife and children who were there, he didn't dare touch Dante because the man seemed to be emitting smoke. "Geez, what happened to this guy?" said the innkeeper as he ruffled his gray-white hair. Meanwhile, his wife and children also seem confused by what happened to Dante. It was a very clear day, there was no way the man had been struck by lightning in broad daylight. "Did you hear the explosion?" the innkeeper asked his wife and children. "I'm not sure, I think I heard it!" replied the wife. "But what caused it?" asked the innkeeper's son. They didn't understand what had happened. The innkeeper tried to touch Dante's body, he was surpr

One day before Game of the Destiny starts. That night Dante visits the Gorge's grandfather's bakery. He had to further question why the old man had chosen him. What do agents J and R mean by stating that he is a descendant of the previous fire prince? It's hard to understand. "You came, son!" Gorge greeted him. There are also agents J and R, it looks like they've been waiting for Dante to come. Agents J and R stood up from their seats, and they smiled at Dante. It seems that their efforts were not in vain. Dante looks awkward, he still can't make up his mind, he needs more explanation about all that bullshit. "I keep thinking about this, should I believe what you guys tell me?" said Dante. "I mean, isn't this so sudden? How could I possibly trust you and carry such a heavy burden on my shoulders." Dante looked down, the man looked very frustrated. "Didn't I explain it to you?" said agent J "Yes, you explained it well. But I need concrete proof!" Dante

The day Game of the Destiny will start. George waited anxiously in his heart, while agents J and R seemed to be whispering to each other. "I don't think he'll come!" Agent J said to George. "It wouldn't be easy to do this, even if the man believed what we said, but it feels very heavy to carry such a heavy responsibility on his back!" agent R gives his opinion. "I mean he has no reason to fight in this game!" agent R added. George seemed to be starting to hesitate. It's true what agent R said, currently Dante has no strong reason to fight in that game. It wasn't easy convincing the men to do what they wanted. "Today we have to send a representative from the human race. The deadline has been set, we can't delay any longer!" said agent J. George nodded in understanding. They don't want this world to just fall apart. Losing before the match would be very painful, especially if their world had to be destroyed because they sent their representatives too late. "If that man doesn't co

The portal to the Niflheim dimension has been opened. Lightning began to roar, while rumblings in the night sky began to reverberate. Agent R tries his best to stay on his feet, he must not lose concentration otherwise the portal will close again. Agent J asks for the umpteenth time, is George sure that he will represent humanity in Game of the Destiny? "You know, we don't have time anymore. I think this is the last thing we can do!" replied George. The old man had established himself. "Hasn't Norton sent the message that tonight is the last time we send representatives of humanity!" George added. Agent J ruffled his hair, he knew this was the last option they could do. The wind grew stronger around the area where the portal was opened. Portals must not be left in that state for too long, otherwise, a storm will come and hit them. George had mentally prepared well, apart from being quite skilled in using his powers, he knew at his current age that h

Agents J, R, and George sit limp after successfully sending Dante to Niflheim. The storm suddenly stops when Agent R manages to close the portal that connects their world and another world. "Can Dante do it? We put our hope in a young man with no experience at all!" agent J stood up and cleaned the coat he was wearing. "Right now we can only entrust everything to the man! After all, we have been looking for him for the past few years and haven't found him yet. I was even surprised when the man himself came to my bakery!" said George. "If only we had found him sooner, that man would have had time to make more thorough preparations!" Agent R gives his opinion. George and agent J nodded in agreement with what the man said. But George assured that if Dante was chosen, then he would have no trouble controlling his powers.

Game of the Destiny All races gathered.
After receiving the acknowledgment of the king, the higher-ups, and the people of the Taraec kingdom. Dante now officially serves as a prince as well as the owner of power and command for every division of soldiers in the kingdom. Of course, Dante was very worried about that. Can a 20-year-old like him give good orders, Dante thought at the time? "Prince, you should rest now. The Game of the Destiny opens tomorrow and will begin. We will prepare everything necessary for this!" said Gustave. The man was very friendly toward Dante. He seemed like an easygoing person. Taraec is a fairly large European-style castle located in the eastern region of Niflheim. Currently, Niflheim is divided into regions according to the cardinal points. Each race had its territory, while the human race currently controlled the eastern region of the land. After Dante arrived in the kingdom, a welcoming party was immediately held, and the residents and everyone in the castle welcomed

Dante realizes that what they have done is almost exactly what is written in the mural depicted on the wall of the well of Hvergelmir, in other words, the figure of Sigud depicted as the dragon sealer in the mural is none other than himself.“We have made a mistake. It's a time loop!” Dantes said."Yeah, you're right. We're not accidentally repeating the same thing that happened in the mural you told me about!" she answered."Shit, does that mean it was all for naught?" he asked.Rose seemed to think for a moment, she felt everything was not over yet.“No, we still have a chance to change destiny. Have you forgotten that you currently have quite a bit of the magical energy you just got from that dragon!" she said.“Give me the amount of magical energy you have, then I will be able to take you back in time to the exact moment the battle between the two primordial giants took place. I can synchronize the magic energy you have with the remaining magic energy from the God's Stone I have.

Rose stared at Dante, she didn't understand what Dante's intentions and goals wanted her to take the man far into the past.“Why do you want me to take you to the past, what exactly do you want? Do you want to go back to when Richard was alive and save him?” she asked.Dante shook his head, he had a plan that he thought would be much more efficient than that.Dante also told the contents of the mural he had just seen Rose, Dante intended for Rose to take him to teleport far into the past when the ancient ice giant was fighting with the fire ancient giant. Dante thinks if only he can stop the fight maybe fate will change, in other words, the Game of the Destiny might never happen. According to Dante, instead of trying to kill Nidhug, it would be better if he could stop the fight between the two ancient giants to maintain the balance of the world.“We have to stop that fight and prevent Nidhug from becoming the only god in this world. Then Nidhug won't be able to do as he pleases like h

From the mural, Dante finally understood who the mysterious figure residing within him was, he immediately grabbed the red pendant that George had given him, there was no mistake that it was the pendant depicted in the mural, and the figure that had resided within his body was not another is a fragment of the magic power that Sigurd managed to extract into the pendant, in other words, the figure that has been bothering and trying to take his consciousness is Surtr's magical energy which is sealed in the pendant. Now all the questions in Dante's mind have been answered, how could he get the power of fire that he had at that time?“Gosh, so that's why that mysterious figure keeps saying Sigurd's name,” muttered Dante, he too stared directly at his Sword of Surtr. There was no mistake that it was a sword made by Sigurd using one of Surtr's horns as written on the mural."All has been answered. I understand why Nidhug responded when I managed to use my fire primordial magic, that bastard

Nidhug's fractured body suddenly shattered into pieces, just as Dante had expected. The dragon's body shattered into ice flakes and seemed to just disappear."Shit, what happened?" Dante cursed. He could still feel the powerful energy from Nidhug's figure, but now the figure disappeared after turning into bits of ice and only Hel was left, who for some reason suddenly appeared there and took the attack. It was as if Hel had just switched places with Nidhug.Dante immediately pulled out his sword which was now embedded in Hel's body. He knew that at that time Nidhug deliberately switched positions with Hel's figure to be able to escape from the attack he gave."Bastard!" Dante cursed for the umpteenth time, he had spent a lot of his magic energy on that attack.Hel's figure immediately fell to the ground and shattered into chunks of ice that scattered everywhere. It was certain that Hel had already died by then.Dante felt a large amount of magic energy suddenly appear from behind him,

An attack that burns from within.
The figure of a huge white dragon with two horns that looked like it was made of ice appeared after all the black clouds covering the battle sky were blown away. This was the first time for Dante, Lazarus, Gustave, and all their division captains to see Nidhug face to face. So far, Nidhug has never appeared, usually, God only sends Hel as his representative for everything in the Game of the Destiny.The explosive effect of the two attacks split the sky, creating two distinct sides where one side was a cold area and the other was a hot area.Dante hovered in the air right below Nidhug, he was ready to launch an attack to continue his fight with the god. Dante was undaunted, he had made up his mind, and he even had to abandon all his thoughts about his now-frozen soldier. His main focus then was to defeat Nidhug.Seeing how strong Dante determined to defeat Nidhug, for some reason Lazarus started to get up without realizing it, he no longer knelt like the captains of his division at tha

The Appearance of the Gods!
The sky rumbled, black clouds formed and lightning flashed violently everywhere, while an icy chill returned to envelop the entire battle area, that chill even colder than when Hel arrived."Finally you came too!" said Dante who realized that this situation was a sign of Nidhug's arrival.From behind the black clouds emerged the silhouette of an enormous dragon, that silhouette was even capable of instilling deep fear in all the races that were fighting on the battlefield, instantly bringing the battle between the human race and the vampire race to an instant halt.All eyes turned to the skies of battle, their bodies shivering as if they were about to freeze at that moment, while the silhouette of an enormous dragon was now constantly moving behind the black clouds."Nidhug," Lazarus said in a trembling voice, he didn't expect that Gods from all over the universe would appear on the battlefield."Why, what made him come here?" asked Lazarus confused, the arrival of Hel who was Nidhug'

Claudius bit his own soldier's neck, he sucked the poor soldier's blood. In the world of the vampire race such things are strictly forbidden because it is tantamount to cannibalism in the human world.Claudius' body trembled violently, his pitch-black magic aura was now starting to mix with a blood-red color."What is he doing?" asked Gustave confused, but he knew that at that moment a large amount of magic energy had just been added to Claudius' body.Claudius released his bite on the poor soldier's neck, and the vampire warrior's body instantly dried up from the loss of blood."Damn, I have to break the rules of my race, but I'm doing this for the sake of my race, so I guess it's fine!" Claudius said, for a vampire by sucking the blood of another vampire, his strength will increase very significantly, but this is strictly prohibited because it is considered contrary to the norms of fellow vampires."You are crazy!" said Gustave, seeing that only made the man angrier.

Hel was shocked, she didn't know since when Dante left a small magic ball with extremely dense magic energy right under her feet. It seemed like the attack Dante gave just now was just a diversion so he could insert the small magic ball with very dense magic energy without Hel noticing.GOOOOOOOOOUNG...The magic ball hummed extremely loudly and radiated intense heat.BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAM...The magic orb exploded like a time bomb, making Hel unable to properly anticipate the attack.Swoooooooosh...Baaaaaaaaaam...Hel's body fell and hit the ground from receiving that powerful blast of primordial magic. All eyes were on the sight, for the second time Dante managed to injure Hel, but the difference was that now he did it with full awareness.Part of Hel's body broke into chunks of ice due to the attack, it seems that Dante's primordial fire magic slightly inhibited her regeneration, making Hel need a little time to recover her body.Demian, Cassius, and Diablo paused their fight for a m

The Root Giant.
Dante is very disturbed because Lazarus keeps bothering him, even though at that time he had to face Hel to lure Nidhug to appear and show his form. Dante should at least be able to injure Hel to lure the god out."Damn, I won't be able to survive if I have to face them all at once, I should at least split the fight," muttered Dante, he slashed his sword with the amount of primordial magic energy he had, sending Lazarus instantly backward.Lazarus again shot towards Dante, but suddenly something caught one of his legs."What's this?" asked Lazarus, he did not know since when the very long roots entangled his feet.Swoooooooooosh...Baaaaaaaaaam...Lazarus' body was pulled at a very high speed until it hit the ground. The man just dropped from the sky.Dante concentrated his magic energy to create a gigantic figure made from roots, he also infused a certain amount of his primordial magic energy into the gigantic figure to strengthen it.Lazarus was shocked, he didn't expect Dante to be
