The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Students Adoration
The simulated forest dissolved into particles of light, and in the blink of an eye, the students felt themselves pulled back to reality. The gentle hum of the academy’s simulation pods faded, and they blinked as they adjusted to the bright lights of the control room. One by one, the students sat up, looking around, feeling both the physical and mental exhaustion of the intense test they had just survived.As the doors to the simulation pods opened, Dante emerged, calm and composed as if he’d just taken a simple stroll rather than battled through hordes of monsters. He glanced around the room, noting the looks of surprise, admiration, and—most noticeably—respect that lingered on the faces of his classmates.The usual whispers and banter among the students were absent. Instead, they regarded Dante in awe. Those who had witnessed his strength firsthand during the test were particularly silent, their expressions a mix of disbelief and newfound admiration.Elijah, who had previously dismis
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The Unexpected Announcement
Two weeks had passed since the test, and life at the academy had returned to its usual rhythm. Classes resumed, training sessions filled the afternoons, and students once again focused on honing their skills. But something had changed: Dante’s presence was now a quiet force felt by everyone around him.Wherever he went, students turned to watch, whispering about his strength and the feats he had achieved during the test. Even upperclassmen, those who had once dismissed him as just another S-rank swordsman, now regarded him with a mixture of respect and curiosity.Dante, however, remained focused on his goals, unmoved by the newfound attention. His days fell into a steady rhythm of training, studying, and preparing himself for whatever challenges lay ahead. He kept to himself, finding peace in the routine, while Finn remained his only close companion, constantly chattering and bringing his usual humor into their friendship.During one of their training sessions, Finn shot him a grin. “
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Lion's Academy Taking the Limelight
The following morning, students gathered eagerly in the academy’s courtyard, their faces filled with anticipation. This mission had sparked excitement throughout the school, and everyone waited anxiously to hear who would be selected to assist the Hunter Association.Miss Sapphire stood at the front, a list in hand. Her gaze swept over the crowd before she began.“The following students have been chosen to represent our academy and assist with the C-rank gate,” she announced. Her voice was calm but carried a note of seriousness that underscored the importance of the task.She began calling names, each one met with a ripple of murmurs and excited smiles.“Elijah Noland,” she read, her eyes briefly meeting his as he stepped forward confidently, his expression smug.“Aria Windstrider,” she continued, and Aria walked forward with her usual cool composure, her gaze focused and unwavering.Several other students’ names followed, each stepping forward to join the group, their expressions a m
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Into The Fray
The city streets were eerily quiet as Dante, Aria, and Marcus made their way through, alert for any sign of civilians in need of rescue. The buildings bore the scars of the monster attacks—broken windows, cracked walls, and deep gouges in the pavement where claws and fangs had left their mark. Though the air was still, there was a palpable tension as if the city itself was holding its breath.Marcus, always quick to lighten the mood, broke the silence. “You know, I wasn’t exactly planning to spend my weekend dodging ogres and wyverns,” he joked, his voice low. “But at least I get to do it with decent company.”Aria rolled her eyes, though a slight smirk crossed her face, and Dante gave a nod, focused but appreciative of the humor.As they moved further in, the distant sound of crashing echoed through the streets, followed by faint screams. Marcus’s expression turned serious as he adjusted his stance, ready to step forward if needed.“Sounds like we’ve got some action up ahead,” he sai
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Increased Danger
The streets were quieter now, the echoes of roars and battle sounds growing distant as Dante, Aria, and Marcus led another group of civilians to safety. Dante’s focus remained steady, his gaze scanning the area for any sign of threats, while Aria coordinated the movement of the group with calm precision.As they rounded another corner, Marcus took the lead, his defensive stance reassuring to the nervous civilians. “Stay close, everyone,” he murmured, glancing over his shoulder. “We’re almost to the safe zone.”Dante stayed silent, only giving a brief nod when Marcus looked back at him, but his expression conveyed a sense of calm that seemed to settle the group. Though he spoke little, his presence exuded a quiet strength that reassured those around him.Suddenly, a shrill scream echoed from a side street. Dante’s head snapped toward the sound, his eyes narrowing. Without a word, he motioned to Aria and Marcus, who understood immediately.“Go,” Marcus said, stepping up to guard the civ
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life The Greatest Danger
Dante’s instincts took over as he propelled himself forward, moving with a speed that left Marcus frozen in surprise. His focus was singular—reaching the boy before the ogre did. The young boy was stumbling, his face etched with determination and fear as he carried a younger girl on his back, trying desperately to escape.The ogre, a towering mass of muscle and rage, was closing in fast. Its heavy footsteps sent tremors through the ground, its mouth twisted into a snarl as it zeroed in on its prey.“Keep running!” Dante called out, his voice steady and calm, hoping to give the boy reassurance.The boy looked up, his eyes widening as he saw Dante approaching. With a renewed burst of energy, he pushed forward, his breaths coming in shallow gasps as he struggled under the weight of the girl on his back.Within moments, Dante closed the distance, reaching the boy just as the ogre lifted its massive club. Without breaking stride, Dante scooped the boy and the girl into his arms, pivoting w
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Young Hero
The air was thick with the scent of blood and smoke. The town lay in ruins, houses reduced to rubble, and the streets painted with the crimson of the fallen. In the heart of the chaos, a massive, mutated A-rank Ogre stood tall, its grotesque body covered in jagged, bone-like protrusions. Its red eyes gleamed with mindless rage, its breath reeking of decay. Behind the Ogre, huddled in the corner of a crumbling building, a family of four clung to each other. Seeing Dante gave them a sliver of hope, despite knowing he is just a student of an Academy. They also heard the announcement telling the students to retreat because stronger monsters were coming out.Dante exhaled, gripping his sword tighter. His stance was firm, but his instincts screamed at him—this was no ordinary monster. The Ogre let out a guttural roar and charged, each step shaking the earth beneath them. Dante barely had time to react as a massive fist came hurtling toward him. He twisted his body, dodging just in time, but
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Void Crescent
The air was thick with the stench of blood and scorched earth as Dante strode forward, his sword glinting under the afternoon sun. The monster outbreak had turned the once-thriving village into a graveyard, littered with broken walls and shattered hopes. But Dante wasn’t here to mourn—he was here to grow stronger and save whoever was left alive. Ahead of him, a group of A-rank monsters prowled the ruined streets. Their eyes gleamed with hunger, their claws dripping with the remnants of their last victims. Among them were a Razorfang Basilisk, a Thunderclaw Behemoth, and a Shadowfang Direwolf. They were larger, and more vicious than anything Dante had faced before. He had battled A-rank creatures before, but never a horde of them at once.A sane man would retreat, wait for the hunters to arrive, and clean up the mess. But Dante saw an opportunity."If I wait, I lose my chance. If I fight, I might die. But if I survive—I get stronger." Dante couldn't believe that a few months ago, he w

Midnight Ambush
Dante sat in his dimly lit dormitory, calmly sharpening his sword. The rhythmic scraping of the whetstone against the blade was the only sound in the room. He knew they were coming. The way Elijah had been watching him lately made it obvious, and the rumors Finn had shared only confirmed it. He didn't go to bed, he made sure to wait for them and asked Finn to go to sleep.Then, just as expected, he heard the approaching footsteps. Slow, deliberate. There were multiple of them.A heavy knock echoed through the wooden door."Open up, Dante," a voice called. It was Elijah. "We need to have a little chat."Dante smirked, sliding his sword back into its sheath before standing. He took his time reaching the door, savoring the tension. When he finally opened it, Elijah stood at the forefront, flanked by five senior students. Each one bore the confident expression of someone who thought they had already won."I was wondering when you’d show up," Dante said lazily, leaning against the doorfram
One Of The Strongest
The training field was empty, save for two figures standing across from each other. The sun was beginning to set, casting long shadows as the air carried a stillness that made the moment feel sacred.Dante stood calmly, his sword resting at his side, while Instructor Bane observed him with sharp eyes. There were no spectators, Instructor Bane decided a sparring section is enough punishment for Dante. In truth, he just wanted to see how much Dante had grown."You’ve grown stronger," Bane remarked, tightening his grip on his sword. "But strength alone is never enough. Show me how much you’ve improved."Dante nodded, bringing his blade up in a ready stance. The moment Bane moved, he did too. Their swords clashed in a flurry of sparks, each strike precise, each movement deliberate. Bane remained mostly on the defensive, only attacking when Dante left an opening. His movements were calculated, aiming to expose Dante’s weaknesses rather than overwhelm him.Dante, however, was not the same s
What Makes Vida Feel Better
Dante sat on a bench near the training field, watching as students prepared for the upcoming competition. Some sparred against each other, while others focused on refining their techniques. He wasn’t particularly interested in the event itself, but Vida’s words stuck in his mind."She is not bad."He glanced toward the school garden, where he could see Vida and Aria still walking together, deep in conversation. He had expected some tension between them, yet they had gotten along instantly. He wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a dangerous thing.“Enjoying the view?”Dante turned to see Finn approaching, holding two drinks. He tossed one to Dante before taking a seat beside him.“I see you’ve been getting along well with the ladies,” Finn teased. “First Vida, now Aria? You’re really living the dream.”Dante smirked. “We’re just friends.”Finn shook his head. “You’re insane. But you should be careful. The guys in this academy already don’t like you. If you keep attracting the stron
The Promise Between Two Girls
Vida could feel it instantly—Aria had feelings for Dante. To confirm her suspicion, she moved closer to Dante and whispered,“Who is she? Is she going to be the first woman in your harem?”Dante could only smile. Since awakening, love hadn’t crossed his mind.“What do you think?” he replied.“She’s not bad.” Vida shrugged. “Why not introduce us?”Dante walked toward Aria, pulling Vida along. Aria felt her heartbeat quicken as the two, whom she already believed were lovers, approached.“Hi, Aria. This is Vida. Vida, this is Aria.”Aria suddenly felt the need to make a good first impression. She had never felt intimidated by another girl before. She was beautiful, admired by many, and received love letters daily. But the same could be said about Vida. Unlike Vida, who had black hair, Aria had striking purple hair and blue eyes.“Hi, Aria. Do you mind showing me around the school? Dante’s really not good at it.” Vida smiled.“Me?” Aria was surprised but flattered. “That would be my pleas
Reunion
Dante couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Vida stepping out from behind Miss Sapphire. She was even more beautiful than he remembered.“Vida.”“Dante,” she replied with a warm smile before he closed the distance between them, enveloping her in a tight embrace.“I’ve missed you,” she whispered, returning his hug.As an S-rank healer and water user, Vida was treated like royalty at her academy, making it nearly impossible for her to leave. When she heard the news of Dante’s awakening, he had already enrolled at Mighty Ones Academy. She had wanted to visit him then, but her request was denied. Today was the first time she had been allowed to visit—only because she accompanied her headmaster, who had business with his longtime friend, the headmaster of Mighty Ones Academy.Unbeknownst to Dante, his simple act of hugging Vida had earned him an enemy. William Archibald, an S-rank air user, glared daggers at him. William believed he was the only one worthy of Vida, and seeing Dante so clos
Howard's Taunts
By the time Dante left the dungeon, the sun had already risen, painting the sky in soft hues of orange and blue. The cool morning breeze swept through the landscape, refreshing yet carrying the weight of the long night he had endured.He adjusted his cloak, rolling his shoulders to ease the stiffness in his muscles. Though his body was fatigued, his mind was clear—he had grown stronger. He could feel it.Raiden stretched beside him, letting out a tired sigh. “Well, this has been one hell of a night.” He turned to Dante with a smirk. “Don’t forget to call me, kid.”Dante gave a nod. “I won’t.”With that, they parted ways. Raiden headed toward the city, while Dante took a quieter route back to the academy. He moved swiftly, keeping to the shadows where possible. Sneaking into dungeons was one thing—getting caught returning from one was another problem entirely.He was only a short distance from the academy gates when a familiar voice stopped him.“Well, well. Look who we have here.”Dan
Raiden's Offer
Dante could feel it—he had progressed again. Even though there was no one to compare himself to, he knew he had outclassed all his peers.Void Rend—the second stage of his sword skills—was unlike the first. Void Crescent was effective for cutting down multiple weaker opponents, but Void Rend was different. It focused all its power on a single target, making it sharper and nearly impossible to guard against.A moment ago, the enemy had been standing—confident, unyielding. Now, his lifeless body crumpled to the ground, cleanly severed as if reality itself had yielded to Dante’s blade. The dungeon’s eerie silence settled in once more."That is one deadly strike," Raiden remarked, his voice laced with both admiration and disbelief.He had always doubted the rumors about Raven, assuming they were exaggerated. He even found the mask ridiculous, thinking Raven was just trying to be mysterious. But after teaming up with him, witnessing his speed, and seeing the sheer lethality of his sword st
A Breakthrough
Dante continued raiding dungeons, growing stronger with each battle. Through experience, he realized that dungeon rankings, determined by gate color, did not always reflect their true danger. Some A-rank dungeons were far deadlier than others, straddling the line between A-rank and what hunters feared as pseudo-S-rank dungeons. When calculations fell short, survival depended solely on skill and sheer willpower.Now, he was about to experience one of the deadliest A-rank dungeons firsthand.The A-rank gate loomed before them, crackling with ominous energy. The team he joined was led by an experienced A-rank hunter named Raiden, a lightning user renowned for his ruthless efficiency and unmatched speed. Unlike previous raids, Dante sensed this dungeon would be different.As they stepped through the portal, darkness engulfed them. Towering black pillars stretched toward a swirling, mist-covered ceiling. The air was thick with oppressive energy, pressing down on them like an invisible forc
Never Underestimate, Raven
Though his first raiding taught him how dangerous a dungeon could be, and the most danger aren't from monsters but Humans. Dante still believed he needed the dungeon to get to his peak. Though the memory of his past life is gone, he instinct as the demon lord to grow stronger still remains. So with his desire to get stronger, Dante continued raiding as Raven, and though he never met Nadia, he also didn't meet any group like Cedric's group, and for that he was happy. Killing a human wasn't something he enjoyed. Today he is joining a team to raid an A-Rank Team. The A-rank dungeon loomed ahead, a gaping rift of swirling darkness pulsing with raw mana. Dante adjusted his grip on his sword, silently analyzing the energy radiating from the portal. His team, consisting of seasoned A-rank hunters, stood beside him, their expressions a mix of anticipation and unease. Though they had fought in high-level dungeons before, none took the challenge lightly.“Alright, everyone,” the team leader, a
