The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life A Founder
With only a day remaining until the competition, Instructor Bane decided it was time to impart some crucial knowledge about swordsmanship to Dante."There are three known ways to improve as a swordsman," Bane began, his voice steady and firm. "The first is to follow the path of established skills and practice them to perfection. The second is to acquire the knowledge of many sword skills and use that foundation to develop your own. The third is to carve your own path, forging techniques from your heart, influenced by existing skills but uniquely your own."Dante listened intently, absorbing every word."The first method is the most common," Bane continued. "It’s a safe route, one that guarantees results because success has already been proven. The second is far less traveled, as it is difficult and uncertain—you might spend your entire life without ever creating a true skill. But if one succeeds, they might develop a supreme skill or, at the very least, a powerful one."Bane’s express
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Finn's Dreams
The morning sun cast a golden glow over the academy grounds as students gathered excitedly for their departure. Today is the beginning of the long-awaited competition, and the air buzzed with energy and anticipation. Dante walked alongside Finn as they approached the enormous magical aircraft that would transport them to the venue.The aircraft was unlike anything Dante had ever seen before. It floated effortlessly in the air, its sleek metallic body engraved with ancient runes that shimmered with a faint blue light. Large, curved wings extended from its sides, pulsating with raw magical energy. The academy’s insignia gleamed proudly on its front, marking it as a vehicle of prestige and power. As students boarded, a low hum resonated through the air, a sign that the aircraft was awakening its magical core.Inside, the interior was just as impressive. Rows of floating seats adjusted to accommodate the passengers, ensuring both comfort and security. Transparent windows provided a breath
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Leon Ignis
"Are you ready to dazzle the world?" Aria came and stood beside Dante. Elijah saw this but ever since Dante beat him together with the senior, he made sure to stay clear from Dante and anything to do with him."I can feel a lot of powerful awakeners, I might not be able to dazzle the world with them around." Dante joked"I know you will," Aria said before walking ahead to meet up with her friends while they all followed their instructors to their lodging area.As the students from Mighty Ones Academy arrived at their designated lodge, a sense of anticipation filled the air. The grand competition, which would last for an entire week, was set to begin the next day, and students from different academies had already gathered in the vast city that hosted the event.Dante walked beside Finn, his eyes scanning the large number of students scattered throughout the lodging area. There were groups dressed in distinct academy uniforms, each representing their respective schools, and every one of
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Competition Begins
The grand stadium buzzed with anticipation as thousands of spectators filled the seats, their excitement rippling through the air. The competition was about to begin, and the entire world was watching. Large, floating screens hovered above the stadium, displaying live footage captured by specialized cameras stationed throughout the battlefield. These cameras would ensure that every move, every clash, and every moment of brilliance would be seen by millions.Standing in the center of the colossal arena was a man dressed in a sleek black and gold suit, his sharp features and confident posture making him impossible to ignore. His long, slicked-back crimson hair made him stand out, but what truly captured his attention was his voice—a smooth, commanding tone that carried across the stadium with ease."Ladies and gentlemen, students, warriors, and esteemed guests! Welcome to the Grand Academy Tournament!" The man’s voice echoed through the stadium, enhanced by magical amplification. "I am
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Victor's Strategy.
As the competitors stepped into the shimmering portals, they felt the sensation of being pulled through space itself. Within seconds, they reappeared in various locations, each academy transported to their designated home base. These locations were chosen based on the academy’s general combat specialization and were meant to test their adaptability and strategy.For the Mighty Ones Academy, their designated base was a dense forest shrouded in thick mist. Towering trees blocked much of the sunlight, and the distant growls of unseen beasts set a foreboding tone. The thick vegetation provided both cover and danger, as predators lurked within the foliage.Victor Rein, the senior leading the Mighty Ones Academy team, wasted no time asserting his authority. "Listen up! To maximize our points, we will split into three-man teams. This way, we can cover more ground, hunt more monsters, and gather more points efficiently."Dante frowned slightly. Something about this plan felt wrong. He could f
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Feeling Like A Fool
The audience had been watching everything unfold in the competition, and certain academies stood out, efficiently eliminating monsters and proving themselves worthy. Then, there was an academy whose students were so weak that the audience questioned why they were even there.Mighty Ones Academy was once the strongest school, producing some of the nation’s elite hunters. However, ever since Golden Lion Academy came under the management of Mr. Tilo, they had successfully poached many talented students from Mighty Ones, along with several of their best teachers. The Golden Lion Academy had been secretly working against Mighty Ones Academy, causing the once-great institution to deteriorate.Right now, the audience was watching as Golden Lion students mercilessly beat up the Mighty Ones students, ensuring they didn’t deal enough damage to eliminate them outright. Instead, they toyed with them, showcasing the difference in strength between Golden Lion and Mighty Ones.“You shouldn’t call yo
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Dante Stepping Up
The competition raged on, and while Dante had already proven himself against the Golden Lion Academy’s elite, the attention of the audience had now shifted elsewhere. Across the battlefield, prodigies from different academies were showcasing their overwhelming strength, none more so than Leon Ignis—the undisputed king of battle.Leon Ignis stood amidst a field of corpses, his golden-red hair flowing like a burning flame. Unlike other competitors who fought cautiously, Leon was relentless, merciless, and devastatingly efficient. The moment he appeared on the battlefield, monsters fell like leaves in a storm. He wielded the power of four elements—Fire, Water, Earth, and Air—making him one of the most feared prodigies in the entire nation.The audience watched in awe as he advanced, slaughtering everything in his path. A wave of monstrous beasts—C-rank and B-rank threats—charged toward him, their roars deafening. Leon smirked, his eyes burning with intensity.With a flick of his wrist, h
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Securing Second Place
Victor was angry at their academy being the last place, he is an S-rank and he has killed a lot of monsters, but it seemed it was not enough. He started thinking that Dante was right, maybe they wouldn't be this far behind if they had stuck together. As the captain, he gets a notification whenever a student from his school is eliminated. So he knows how much their number has dwindled. Just as Victor was about to accept his fate, Mighty Ones Academy's number started going up. Dante moves like a shadow through the forest, his blade a blur of destruction as monsters fall one after another. The competition’s first phase was reaching its climax, and he could feel the weight of time pressing down on him. Despite his relentless killing, Mighty Ones Academy was still behind in the rankings. He knew he had to do something drastic if he wanted to propel them into the top ten.As he cut through a particularly ferocious wyvern with a clean Void Crescent, he sensed a disturbance in the air.

The Party
The elven palace glowed like a dream against the blanket of night, its towering tree structures woven with strands of luminescent vines and enchanted lights. Music floated through the air—gentle, melodic, full of life and celebration. Tonight, the kingdom was alive, honoring not only the victorious end of the tournament but the heroes who had proven themselves.As the guests gathered in the grand hall beneath the ancient tree’s sprawling canopy, all conversation stilled at the arrival of five extraordinary figures.Vida was the first to step forward.Dressed in a flowing gown of deep midnight blue that shimmered with every step, she was nothing short of enchanting. Her black hair, sleek and glossy, framed her face like strands of silk. She needed no jewelry; her beauty was radiant enough. Her dark eyes held a depth that spoke of wisdom and mystery, and every noble, soldier, and merchant alike found themselves involuntarily drawn toward her.Following Vida was Aria, the mage with the e
Beauties For The Strongest
Princess Sylvia woke to find the other girls still asleep beside her. A pang of guilt struck her—she had drifted off after they all came to hear stories about Dante. Her gaze moved to Freya and Celeste, curiosity tugging at her thoughts. Why had those two stayed as well?She and Freya had crossed paths before—often enough to consider themselves friends. Being princesses of their respective realms meant their lives occasionally overlapped. But Freya was unlike most royals. She preferred combat to courtly grace and sought strength above all. Despite Sylvia's vast mana reserves, she had no desire to spar with Freya. That girl’s clairvoyance made her terrifying in battle—and a single punch from her could very well be lethal.Sylvia gave up trying to understand their reasons. It didn’t really matter. She gently slipped out of bed, careful not to wake the slumbering beauties, and left the room in search of her family.The first person she met was her younger brother, Prince Rigurd."You're
Young Hero
Everyone strained to hear what the Demon King had to say."The young champion is right. We can now travel in multitude."No one expected him to agree so easily, and that made Dante realize just how shrewd the Demon King truly was."I was hoping to say that after the tournament and then invite everyone to my realm for a banquet." He sighed. "Sadly, a group of bad seeds has ruined my plan. I wonder if it's still possible to earn your trust."The crowd fell silent. It was as though they were waiting for Dante to speak.King Dwargo had been deep in thought ever since Dante showed his strength. Knowing that Dante was still a teenager meant he had room to grow, dangerous potential. If humans were now capable of producing such monstrosities, it wouldn’t be long before they declared themselves rulers of the world. And seeing Toma beside Dante suggested an alliance between humans and elves.If his suspicions were correct, then the dwarves needed an alliance of their own. He believed it wiser t
Freya's Reason
"Heaven Fall."Everyone heard Dante loud and clear. Not because he shouted no, he didn’t need to shout, silence blanketed the arena like a spell, amplifying his voice. At that moment, gravity surged. Even Eragon, who had been hovering mid-air, was slammed down.At first, the contestants tried to resist. They surrounded themselves with mana, believing it would be enough. But as the pressure intensified, they realized how foolish they’d been."How is he able to do that? I thought he was a swordsman?" Aria asked, wide-eyed."Turns out he can control the four elements too," Sylvia replied. Her words weren’t meant to echo, but they did—and gasps followed.It was known that someone who mastered the four elements could branch into other abilities. Still, no one had imagined gravity would be one of them."He controls gravity just like you do," Toma observed, watching the contestants struggle against the crushing weight."Perhaps even more," Lucian added. He’d long been envied for being overpo
Heaven Fall
"You."Dante pointed toward the VIP section, stunning everyone. His finger was aimed directly at King Mikhail, with not a shred of respect in his tone or posture.He looked rugged—his hair had grown longer, and his presence had matured. It was hard for Vida and Aria to believe such a change could happen in just a year. They assumed it had taken that long, but Lucian and Toma knew better. It had only been six months."Who are you?""Dante Salvador, " he responded to Mikhail, and everyone took notice of the name. The humans who were still trying to figure out who Dante is and why he is familiar finally got their answer with his introduction. Though they never knew his last name, they are certain that only one Dante can have such an aura."How have I offended you?" Mikhail asked, visibly annoyed but keeping his tone composed. He needed to maintain the illusion of peace.Dante scoffed at the performance."Did the demons cause you great loss? I assure you, I’ve done nothing but work to sto
The Three Beauties
When Princess Sylvia arrived at the palace, all she wanted was a warm bath and a long rest. But the moment she heard that Vida and Aria were sitting in the same section as her parents, she decided to meet them—after freshening up.King Alarion was taken aback by her arrival. Her eyes looked weary, but she still radiated the beauty she was known for."How come?" he asked as he stepped forward to embrace her."I just got back," Sylvia replied, having instructed the guards not to inform her parents the moment she returned."My sweet, beautiful daughter," Queen Selemena said, joining the embrace. Though her eyes brimmed with tears, she held them back, mindful of the onlookers."I'm alright, Mother. I'm sorry to have worried you." Sylvia could see the toll her absence had taken on her mother."You don’t need to apologize. In fact, your great-grandfather will be pleased to hear you’re safe. Gods know how much he’s been blaming himself for losing you."Sylvia sighed in relief at the mention
Dante Salvador
“What have you done?!” Dante’s voice thundered through the sky, drawing the attention of both humans and demons alike. All eyes turned upward to see him hovering midair, radiating fury.“I told you, your worst mistake was attacking our village,” one of Adam’s sisters sneered from within a large cage, already captured along with other villagers. The demons hadn’t come to massacre; they came to kidnap, which was why most of the villagers were still alive, caged like animals. Only a few had been unlucky enough to die in the struggle.“Will this be a problem?” one of the demons asked their leader, nodding toward Dante.“A problem?” the leader scoffed. “When have humans ever been a problem? Even if their so-called S-rankers showed up, we’d still wipe them all out. We were ordered to leave no witnesses.”He wasn’t wrong, demons were stronger than humans. Stronger than other races, in fact.But Dante was no ordinary human.“I’ll just drag him down and kill him,” muttered the demon, still gri
Arriving In His Village
Dante and Sylvia stood just outside the dungeon, both breathing a deep sigh of relief. After months of survival and battle, they had finally made it out. Behind them, the ground trembled as the dungeon slowly sank into the earth, a clear sign that the once-unconquerable stronghold had finally been defeated."It's the Princess!" an elf warrior called out, drawing everyone's attention. The group rushed toward Sylvia and Dante.Though grateful to be alive, Dante’s thoughts were already elsewhere, on Vida and Aria. He needed to see them as soon as possible, to let them know he was safe. He’d been gone for far too long, and with his phone dead and no way to charge it inside the dungeon, he knew they’d be worried sick.“Princess, I need to go home. I have to let everyone know I’m okay. I’ll come find you later,” he said gently.Sylvia’s heart sank at his words. She didn’t want to part from him, not after everything they had just been through. But she understood.“Alright,” she said with a t
A Way Home
With the arrival of the demons, there were now five races competing in the tournament. Each had five representatives, making a total of twenty-five participants. Since the tournament was set to begin the next day, everyone chose to retire early. They had hoped to hold a gathering, but the presence of the demons cast a heavy shadow over the idea. Though Mikhail claimed they came in peace, no one could truly predict what a demon might do. Each race decided it was best to caution their youth and ensure they did not underestimate the demon representatives.“You shouldn’t underestimate the demons, or the humans,” King Dwargo warned his delegates. “Though demons are known for their destruction, humans are not as simple as they appear. We often mock them as the weakest, but we know they hold the greatest potential.”He sighed, recalling the tournament where Lucian had defeated all of their representatives. Though dwarves don’t live as long as elves, they still outlive humans. When Lucian was
