Lucian knew it was dangerous for Dante to face the dungeon alone, so he handed him a talisman that would teleport him outside if his life was in danger.

“Just send a bit of mana into the talisman, and you’ll be teleported away,” Lucian explained.

“Alright.” Dante accepted the talisman, though he had no intention of using it. He could feel it—he was far stronger than before. This was his chance to push himself harder than ever. He also needed to find a way to balance his sword skills with his elemental abilities.

“Just wait for me. I won’t take long,” Dante said with a confident smile as he stepped into the dungeon.

The air inside was thick with eerie energy, and the ground trembled with the distant roars of fearsome creatures. Dante took a deep breath, his mind focused entirely on the challenge ahead.

With a swift motion, he drew his sword, the blade shimmering with a dark, void-like energy. A rush of familiar power surged through him. Now that he had access to his mana pool, he under

    It had been four months since Dante and Lucian began their journey together. In that time, Dante had grown by leaps and bounds, far surpassing even Lucian’s expectations. Every day seemed to bring new revelations, new powers, and new feats.Dante had unlocked the mastery of lightning, metal, currently he is using earth and air to create a forcefield. Using his newly developed forcefield, he could deflect and block almost anything thrown his way. To Lucian, watching his progress was nothing short of awe-inspiring. He never imagined that Dante would rise so quickly."You're using your forcefield to make yourself untouchable during combat," Lucian said, observing Dante as he swiftly defeated an S-rank monster deep within the dungeon. The monster howled in agony, its massive form crashing to the ground with a loud thud."Yes," Dante replied, his voice calm yet thoughtful. "It’s still a far cry from your gravity ability, but I’m getting there." He wiped the sweat from his brow and examined

    "You're looking for my great-granddaughter?" Toma asked as he noticed Dante constantly glancing at the door."Great-grand?" Dante was surprised—Lucian had earlier said the young girl was Toma's granddaughter, not great-granddaughter."Yes. You know, she spoke of you when she came back from the Human Tournament. She also said you always had two women with you." Toma chuckled."You're right, Dante is definitely a playboy," Lucian added, and the two old men couldn't help but laugh at the statement."Vida is a friend. I still haven't made my intentions clear with Aria," Dante pouted before gulping down the tea Toma had offered him."But you don't deny that you'd want both ladies for yourself?" Toma asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Dante couldn't help but notice how different Toma was from the dignified elves he'd always heard about."Let me tell you a secret—she's been talking about you non-stop since she returned from the competition." Toma giggled, instantly catching Dante’s interest. He w

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    A Walking Calamity

    Sylvia Glades couldn't believe that the human champion stood before her, holding her in his arms. It had not even been five months since the competition, and ever since then, he had been all she could think about. She remembered watching him secretly during the party."Can you let me go now?" she stuttered, believing her heart would explode if she stayed in this position any longer."I don't know. I actually like the way we are," Dante said as he pulled her closer. Her scent, her skin, her innocence—everything about her drew him in.In truth, this wasn't the first time he had felt the urge to make a woman his. He had felt it with Aria too, but Aria was different. He saw her as a strong, independent woman, someone capable of leading and making her own demands. She was a bit shy, but still strong enough to go after what she wanted. The elf princess before him, however, was different. She had so much innocence, so much tenderness, that Dante felt like he was about to corrupt something pu

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Destiny Always Prevails

    Stefan couldn't believe how things had turned out. He, the prideful genius, had been defeated by nothing but a footstep. He growled and tried to stand, but he couldn’t—the gravity was too strong, forcing him down. He managed to glance at the prince and his guards, all lying flat on their stomachs with faces wrinkled in pain. A part of him felt pride for only kneeling on one knee, but that pride quickly vanished when he remembered he was facing a human of the same generation.Of course, there have been instances in history in which a human has defeated an elf champion. Lucian the Untouchable managed to do it. But never had an elf been so thoroughly defeated. Even when Lucian won against the elf of his time, the fight could have gone either way if the elf hadn't underestimated him. Stefan’s pride might not have suffered so much if he hadn’t been so completely overpowered.“You can stop now,” the princess’s beautiful voice reached Dante, and he released the pressure, allowing those under

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    The Desert Worm

    “There hasn't been a single monster since we entered,” Dante stated.“Yes, but we shouldn’t let our guard down,” Lucian advised.It had been two days since they entered the dungeon, and in all that time, they hadn’t seen a single monster. According to Toma, however, the environment was different from the last time he was here.“And when will this desert end?” Even the patient Sylvia was now tired of the endless sand they had been walking on since their arrival.“Hopefully, we’ll get past it soon,” Toma muttered.“The last time you were here, what was the environment like?” Dante asked him.“Well, the first time I came, the dungeon was like any other. We fought against various ranks of monsters, but when we reached what we believed to be the final chamber, S-rank monsters started pouring out. If not for the teleportation talismans we had, many of us would have died,” Toma scoffed, remembering. “The second time, I thought it would be the same, but the moment we stepped in, we found ours

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Fall Of Two Generational Genius

    “As long as I live, death shall never claim you.”Dante’s words echoed in her heart like a sacred promise, anchoring her in the storm. Despite the looming terror, Princess Sylvia felt an unexpected calm settle inside her. She felt safe, even in the face of death.Dante stepped forward, steady and sure, his tone cutting through the tension.“Look alive, gentlemen. We are not your average S-rankers.”Toma exhaled through gritted teeth, steeling himself. “It’s almost shameful, having a junior remind me of who I am... but thanks, Dante.”Lucian followed suit, his face composed, though his eyes were sharp with resolve. He stepped forward but paused long enough to cast a shimmering mana shield around Sylvia. Despite possessing the highest mana reserves among them, she wasn’t a fighter. Her strength was not meant for the battlefield.“There’s no holding back,” Toma reminded them. His voice was rough, and sparks of black lightning danced across his fingers.A sudden pulse shook the ground. Th

    "Where are we?" Sylvia asked as she opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar place.The sky was crimson red, with no moon or sun in sight. There was no way to tell if it was day or night."It looks like a deadland," Dante replied, scanning the horizon. There wasn’t a single trace of green as far as his eyes could see. "We need to get down and find a way back to our group."They stood atop a barren hill. Nothing surrounded them, just lifeless land stretching endlessly in all directions. Dante was certain they wouldn’t find anything here.But before they could descend, a shrieking sound pierced the air. Monsters came rushing from every direction, their numbers endless."Pardon me, Princess," Dante said as he summoned a forcefield to protect her. He stepped forward, alone.Through their conversations, Dante had learned how powerful Sylvia was. In a one-on-one battle, she could overwhelm most opponents with her sheer mana and nature magic. But because she had always been protected

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    The Preparation

    Dante remembered Toma saying they would face endless hordes of monsters, but he never imagined it would be this many. He opened the force-field and stepped inside so Sylvia could help him recharge. He could have waited for his mana to recover naturally, but that would take too long, and Sylvia had more than enough to share."Can you move this force-field?" Sylvia asked."Yes. We have to search this land. There must be a way out," Dante replied as he levitated the force-field. He needed a better view of the terrain."Wow," Sylvia muttered. As far as they could see, there were only monsters."They really are endless," Dante said, then began moving the force-field eastward as fast as he could.After a while, they heard a roar. When they turned, they saw a dragon spewing fire. If not for the force-field, they would have been reduced to ashes."That's a calamity-level monster," Aleric muttered, wondering if this was one of the legendary dragons said to be stronger than demons."This is jus

    "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

  • Demons Demand

    Everyone was surprised to see the demon race arriving at the tournament. The demons had never shown any interest in the event before. All they ever seemed to crave was pillaging and destruction.With their sudden appearance, the kings and powerful figures across the realms instinctively stood to defend their young ones.“I understand why you're all on edge because of our arrival,” Mikhail said calmly, unfazed by the hostile gazes of the human awakeners, Elven mages and warriors, or even the dwarves and beastkin. He stood there, relaxed—almost as if he could wipe them all out on a whim.“My fellow kings,” he continued, “I simply want my young ones to participate in the tournament.”“King?” Alarion muttered, stunned. It was unheard of for the demons to use that title. They had always followed a demon lord, the strongest among them, but never a king.“Yes, king,” Mikhail affirmed. “After we overthrew the tyrant, we decided it was time to become more civil. To come together as one. Look a

  • Arrival Of The Demon King

    With Sylvia connected to Dante, he instantly felt refreshed."Would you look at that?" Dante smirked as he stood up again to face the remaining monsters."Don't worry about mana, lay them to waste." Sylvia knew that she had enough mana to make Dante fight nonstop."You heard the lady, you all face obliteration." Dante engaged the monsters for the second time—only this time, he wasn’t scared to use mana-draining skills since he had someone with an almost limitless mana pool.Meanwhile, back in the Elven realm, the competition had just started, and with Dante absent, Leon stood as the human champion.Nobody knew the whereabouts of Dante—even Lucian was nowhere to be found—so there was no one to explain his absence."Maybe the boy realized he had reached his limits, so in order not to embarrass himself, he decided not to come," Mr. Tilo stated, and many believed him.Leon hated the fact that Dante was absent because he wanted to show Dante how strong he had gotten in one year."You haven

  • One Against Ten

    Dante could feel it in the weight pressing down on his chest, in the way the ground seemed to hum beneath his boots. He stood just in front of the ancient monument where the Seed of Yggdrasil floated, a sphere of green-gold light pulsing softly above a carved pedestal of runes. Beside him, Sylvia remained silent, her wide eyes fixed on the monsters that had gathered around them.Without hesitation, Dante raised his hand. A dome of shimmering silver light bloomed into being around Sylvia. The force field buzzed softly, enclosing her within a safe sphere. She gasped and reached toward him through the translucent wall.“You can’t fight them all alone,” she said.“I won’t let them get to you,” Dante replied. His voice was calm, steady, even as his heart pounded like a war drum. “That’s the one thing I won’t let happen.”With a snap of his fingers, a cascade of lightning erupted around his body, arcing and weaving itself into armor. Crackling energy coated his skin and sword, running up hi
