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 replied.

    Gorge seemed to let out a long breath, he stood up and asked Dante and the two agents to follow him.

    Gorge led the three of them towards the basement of the building he had something to show.

    Dante and the two agents could only follow what Gorge wanted, they went down the stairs until they reached where the old man wanted.

    There was a box-shaped cage covered by a black cloth. The cage is large enough to accommodate a human in it.

    Dante desperately wondered what was inside the cage, while agents J and R seemed to be whispering to each other.

    "You have to see this to believe it!" George said to Dante.

    Gorge immediately removed the black cloth that covered the cage, a person was sitting curled up with his legs and hands shackled with chains.

    Dante was shocked to death.

    "What did you do to him? Are you crazy!" Dante said he couldn't accept the Gorge's treatment of a man who looked helpless in a cage.

    "Wait a minute. You'll see what happens after this." George immediately approached the two agents who had been standing behind him.

    Agents J and R nodded, they understood what Abyss wanted.

    Agent J immediately opens a window in the basement that connects directly to the surface to let the moonlight into the room.

    "Have you ever seen a werewolf?" George asked Dante.

    "Yeah, of course, I saw it in a fiction movie I've seen!" Dante replied.

    "How about you see it in person this time?" George asked again.

    "Of course, it's very unlikely!" Dante answered very confidently.

    Agents J and R immediately pushed and moved the cage to an area exposed to direct moonlight. And what happened next made Dante fall to the floor speechless.

    The man who was in the cage seemed to show strange behavior, he started howling while staring at the moon through the window in the basement.

    "What is going on?" asked Dante.

    "Transformation!" replied George firmly.

    Instantly the chains holding the legs and arms of the man in the cage broke, and his entire body began to ooze hair. The man's body changed drastically, his muscles seemed to grow very fast, and now the man's body became a little bigger and taller.

    Dante who saw this could only be silent, he had never seen a human who could do such a thing.

    Now the change was getting closer to perfection, the man's face began to change, and the wolf's muzzle started sticking out of his mouth.

    "Aaaaaaaaaaa...." the man howled loudly. Now the changes have worked perfectly.

    Dante rubbed his eyes, he could not believe what he saw in front of his eyes at that time. It was clear that it was a werewolf that he only knew from a few films and fiction books he had read.

    The weak man who was originally locked in a cage has now transformed into a werewolf perfectly, as told in films and fiction books, it seems that the moonlight is their main strength.

    Now that the werewolf was starting to rampage, he plunged his sharp claws into the iron bars of the cage that had imprisoned him.

    Dante looked very frightened, this was the first time he had seen a werewolf in person. Agents J and R quickly returned to cover the cage with the black cloth that had been removed earlier.

    "Keep the cage away from the moonlight!" George said to agents J and R.

      The werewolf who lost the moonlight immediately returned to his human form, he couldn't transform freely into the human dimension.

    Grandpa George immediately approached Dante, he reached out his hand to help the man up.

    "Do you still think this is bullshit?" George asked Dante.

    Dante couldn't answer it, of course, what he just saw wasn't fabricated.

    George explains if there are times when the dimensions that exist in this world are interconnected. There were many cases where other races used it to enter the human dimension. All mythologies and mystical creatures that are told as fairy tales are real things, be they werewolves, vampires, goblins, and others are real things.

    "Entering a world inhabited by other races is an interdimensional crime!" George explained.

    Agents J and R nodded and confirmed that.

    George said that in the past the elders of each race living in a different dimension had made a pact that they would not interfere with each other. This is to maintain a balance between dimensions, but some parties violate the agreement. They are seduced by what is in another dimension.

    "Take this werewolf, for example. He entered our dimension to hunt for human flesh!" said George.

    "Do they eat human flesh?" asked Dante, he shuddered in horror.

    "Yeah, that's what happened. I caught this werewolf when he preyed on a baby a few days ago!" replied George.

    Dante shuddered again to hear it.

    "That's why I called agents J and R to see me. They have the authority and the right to decide what we do with the werewolves!" George looked at agents J and R.

    As the previous two agents said. They are agents who work directly under the orders of parliament. They have the power to handle these cases.

    "We belong to an organization called 'The other side of the word'!" now agents J and R officially introduce themselves.

    "As we have explained before, we are under direct parliamentary orders!" agent J added.

    Dante now understands, and it turns out that in this world there are still many things that are not known. Just like what he had just witnessed with his own eyes back then, the other side of the world, a world that most of the people in this world had never known. Dante took a deep breath, now he knew that he had been innocent all along.

    "Alright, let's talk about this further!" George suggested, he asked the three men to return to the upper room where the bakery was.

    George glared at Dante.

    "Have you experienced it?" asked the old man.

    Dante nodded his head. He knew what George meant in his question.

    "My hand shoots fire!" said Dante.

    "I'm not surprised at all by that. After all, the locket has chosen its master!" replied George.

    "Tomorrow Game of the Destiny will begin. Right now all the representatives of the other races have chosen their respective leaders." George rose from his seat.

    "Right now it's only the human race that hasn't sent a representative yet. You know what will happen if we don't send someone as a representative in that game?" George asked Dante.

    Dante was silent as he swallowed his saliva.

    "Doomsday!" said George. The old man brought his face closer to Dante's.

    "If you don't come then our world will have an apocalypse!" George added again. He glared at Dante.

    "Do you know of some plagues that have hit the earth?" asked George.

    George explained that the bubonic plague that had occurred from 1346 to 1353 was the work of Nidhug. The plague that killed tens of millions of souls was a magic the mystical dragon used for fun. Nidhug has many methods to fill his boredom, sometimes he creates a very great natural disaster, sometimes he creates a virus that can spread and kill many lives, and he can even turn other humans into tools to carry out massacres just for fun.

    "There are so many natural disasters and disease outbreaks that have occurred in this world. All of this is nothing but Nidhug's doing for fun. Finally in 1480 for the first time Game of the Destiny was held. Since then Nidhug no longer does damage as he pleases. his heart, he only did that when the representative of the human race failed the mission he was given!" explained George at length.

    "You mean?" asked Dante curiously.

    George explains that Game of the Destiny has several missions that will be determined by Nidhug. Each race will have a different mission, which if they are complete they will get a point, and if they fail then Nidhug will immediately give punishment by giving a small disaster to their home world.

    "The fire prince managed to get the highest points in the game, but he also failed several times in completing the missions that were given. It had an impact on the human world. I think some of it might be things you know," said George.

    Dante frowned.

    "The cholera epidemic that occurred in 1817-1823, is a punishment for the failure of the prince of fire to complete one of his missions!" George explained.

    Dante was astonished to hear that.

    "Does that mean every disaster that happens in this world is the intervention of Nidhug?" asked Dante to be sure.

    George confirmed it. The old man testified that almost all natural disasters and tragedies of mass death that had ever occurred were the work of the mystical dragon.

    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

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.

    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

    Gustave had gathered every bit of information he could get about the leaders of the other races in this game. One of them was Alarik who was the leader of the werewolf race, which was a strong competitor besides the vampire race and other races. In the previous Game of the Destiny, the werewolf race had suffered several defeats in missions related to each other with the human race. This of course becomes a grudge for the werewolf race. "The fire prince earlier managed to hinder the werewolves and prevent them from gaining points in the game!" Gustave explained. "As we know, in every defeat, Nidhug will punish their home world in the form of a small disaster!" added Gustave. Hearing that explanation Dante began to understand why the man named Alarik seemed to dislike him so much. "Just like you, the leaders this time are the second generation of the previous leaders. That's why we also don't know for sure how strong each of the race leaders is this time!"

    Something that happened before. Dante accidentally suppressed his energy massively, he was in his subconscious at the time. Meanwhile, Alarik, Lazarus, and the other race leaders were completely taken aback by that enormous burst of energy. The energy that was too large and uncontrollable began to impact the surrounding area. Alarik who was closest to Dante was even flung far enough away due to the intense pressure exerted by that energy. "What the hell is that bastard!" An annoyed Alarik immediately got up and prepared to attack Dante. Dante continued to expend his overflowing energy. The surface of the ground he was standing on received a very strong pressure, causing the ground to begin to swell as the surface was eroded by the immense energy that was continuously overflowing from within the man's body. Dante who lost control continued to emit bursts of energy that made the surrounding temperature feel hot like it was on fire. The energy started buzzing. The energy gathered

    Hel drew closer to Dante, she floated and flew until she was right in front of Dante. Meanwhile, Dante's instincts responded as a threat. Dante increased the intensity of the energy overflowing from his body. Created an enormous vortex of fire that enveloped the surrounding area. Hel didn't seem to care much, the woman's pretty and pale face had no expression at all. Gustave who had previously calmed down a bit because the combination attack launched by the race leaders had been thwarted, was now more worried about what Hel would do to Dante. That entity was far more dangerous than the race leaders who had previously attacked Dante. Hel reached out and touched the fire vortex that Dante had created as a defense, it was beyond reason, when the woman's hand touched the fire vortex, the vortex of fire seemed to freeze before finally disappearing. Dante who was still out of control immediately raised his right hand to attack the woman, but in vain, every time a magic circle appeared

    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 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'

    Gustave's ingenuity!

    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
