At first, everyone was surprised to see Mr. Jacob, but upon reflection, they found it normal. Since becoming the headmaster of the Golden Lion Academy, he had been obsessed with recruiting every S-rank he could find, even going as far as visiting other countries and realms allied with humans. Many despised his greediness, but no one could oppose Mr. Jacob. Supported by powerful allies, he himself was a formidable S-rank fire mage. At over fifty years old, he was not to be underestimated, capable of leveling an entire city with his powers.

As the crowd prepared to see what Mr. Jacob had to offer, Mrs. Joan felt her world crumbling. She feared Mr. Jacob might recognize her, so she restrained herself from rushing to Dante's side.

"Hello, young hero. I am Mr. Jacob," he said, extending his hand to Dante.

Mr. Jacob was a tall, imposing figure with a commanding presence. His greying hair was neatly trimmed, and his piercing brown eyes bore into those he looked at. His deep voice was both so

    "You," Dante stated, his face a mix of shock and realization."Hehehehe," Miss Sapphire laughed. "Are you surprised to see me?""Truly, I am." Dante was certain everyone had left, and even if anyone were still around, they wouldn’t be brave enough to approach him again."Would you be kind enough to invite me inside? I don't mind standing outside, but with the countless reporters taking pictures, I feel uncomfortable," Sapphire said."Sure." Dante stepped aside, and she entered. Even before Sapphire could take a seat, her picture with Dante had already reached the city and caused a major commotion, a commotion Sapphire would only get to know about when she returned."Mrs. Joan." Sapphire smiled warmly at Mrs. Joan. From just a glance, Mrs. Joan could tell what kind of person Sapphire was, so she returned the smile."Dante, get our visitor something to drink.""There would be no need for that. I'm sure I have little time before my phone starts to ring." Though Sapphire was not aware of

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Arriving At The City

    Dante helped his village repair what was broken after they held funerals for those who had died. Everyone was surprised to see that Dante was still the sweet, humble boy they had watched grow up, and his powers hadn’t made him arrogant. The reporters left three days later when they realized they would get nothing from Dante. He had once smashed a reporter's camera for taking a photo of his mother. Most reporters would throw a tantrum, but after seeing Dante's cold glare, the reporter lost all intention of complaining. The incident served as a warning to others, and none of them dared to try taking a picture of his mother again until they left.“Why don’t you want to call her and have her come pick you up?” Mrs. Joan asked her son. After repairing the village and spending some days with his friends, Dante decided it was time to leave. Instead of calling Miss Sapphire, he chose to take the journey alone.“I want to experience the journey myself,” he replied with a smile.“The city is no

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Invoking Calamity

    Dante waited for someone from the crowd to help the girl, but no one stepped forward. As a newcomer to the city, he was still unfamiliar with its workings and didn’t want to overstep his bounds. He endured the wait until he could bear it no longer, and finally, he had no choice but to act.“Who are you?” the boy in the middle asked, clearly the ringleader.“Who I am is not important,” Dante replied calmly. “What matters is that she is being forced to follow you three.” As Dante spoke, people around began to take notice of him. Despite his striking looks, there was nothing particularly extraordinary about him. His clothes were worn, his shoes scuffed, and his old backpack suggested an ordinary background.“Hahaha...” The ringleader laughed, clearly judging Dante as a country bumpkin. “I’m guessing you have no idea who I am.”Before the ringleader could continue, the boy standing to his right stepped up to speak. “This is Alex, the only son of the deputy mayor. And this handsome man in

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Mighty Ones Academy

    Dante’s senses heightened as he heard Alex’s chilling remark. He had already demonstrated his prowess, but Alex's words suggested that the confrontation was far from over. The crowd’s murmurs grew louder, their fascination and fear evident as they witnessed the aftermath of the skirmish. Dante has never been threatened in his life, not because he was powerful, but because he lived in a peaceful village. So he had to admit that being threatened left a bad taste in his guts, but it wasn't enough to make me cower.Alex’s sinister smile widened, and he stood, his eyes glinting with a dark promise. "You may have won this battle, but the Golden Lion Academy has long arms. Your actions here will have consequences."Dante’s expression remained composed, though he could sense an underlying threat in Alex’s words. "I stand by what I did. Bullies shouldn’t go unchallenged."Alex's eyes narrowed, his voice low and menacing. "You’ll soon learn that actions have repercussions, especially when deali

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    A New Beginning

    The Mighty Ones Academy stood before Dante, its towering gates a symbol of the greatness it promised. The academy was already bustling with activity as students trained, sparred, and honed their magical and combat skills. Though the semester had begun two months ago, Dante was an exception—admitted as the only new student due to his rare status as an S-rank awakener.As he walked through the courtyard, the gazes of the students turned toward him. Whispers followed him, not just because he was a new face, but because of his striking appearance. Dante’s chiseled features and piercing blue eyes were hard to ignore. Several of the girls in the courtyard exchanged glances, whispering to each other about the new boy.“Wow, is that him? The S-rank?” one of them murmured.“He’s even more handsome than I expected,” another giggled.But not everyone was so taken with him. A group of boys, standing off to the side, eyed Dante with barely concealed jealousy. His good looks and the attention he wa

    The morning after his first sparring session, Dante was walking through the academy grounds, trying to absorb the enormity of the place. He had expected the academy to be grand, but the reality far exceeded his expectations. Tall towers, sprawling training yards, and massive libraries filled every corner of the campus.As he rounded a corner, lost in his thoughts, a loud voice called out to him.“Hey! You’re Dante, right?”Dante turned to see a boy around his age rushing toward him with a broad grin. He had sandy hair, bright green eyes, and a playful energy that seemed impossible to ignore. The boy skidded to a halt in front of him, barely catching his breath.“I’m Finn,” the boy said, extending a hand. “I saw you at the sparring grounds yesterday. That was insane! I’ve never seen someone move like that with a sword. You made it look so easy!”Dante took the offered hand, a little taken aback by Finn’s enthusiasm. “Uh, thanks.”“Man, I’ve been looking for you everywhere,” Finn contin

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Mid-term Test

    The students gathered in the large auditorium, where the instructors were explaining the rules of the midterm test. Dante stood next to Finn, his eyes scanning the room. He noticed Lucian and his group on the opposite side, their glares directed straight at him.“Alright, students,” Instructor Bane’s voice boomed through the room, commanding everyone’s attention. “The midterm test is a simulation battle, designed to test your skills in combat, strategy, and teamwork. You will be placed in groups and sent into a simulated reality, where you’ll face off against various monsters. The goal is to survive and complete the objectives. You’ll be graded based on your performance.”A large screen behind Bane lit up, showing the simulation environment—a vast forest filled with towering trees, dangerous-looking creatures, and dark, shadowy paths. Dante studied the layout, already mapping out potential strategies in his mind.“There will be monsters at every turn,” Bane continued. “Some will be ea

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    The Unexpected

    The forest simulation was quiet for a moment, but the tension in the air was palpable. Dante and his team stood in a clearing, surrounded by the towering trees and the distant roars of monsters. Lucian and his group circled closer, their elemental powers flaring up, each eager to show Dante that they weren’t to be trifled with.“Time to teach you a lesson,” Lucian sneered, the flames on his fingertips growing larger, casting an eerie glow around him. His friends—an earth user, a water manipulator, and a lightning caster—stood at his side, equally confident in their abilities.Finn and the other two teammates tensed up, but Dante remained calm, his expression unchanged.“Let’s see how well you handle this,” Lucian said, launching a barrage of fireballs toward Dante.The fire came fast, but Dante moved faster. With effortless precision, he sidestepped the flames, feeling the heat graze past him but not even bothering to draw his sword yet.“I told you we shouldn’t have messed with him,

  • Leon's Determination

    Lucian instantly left his seat and appeared in front of Leon, intercepting Dante’s attack with effortless precision. With nothing more than a raised finger, he halted the strike, shattering Dante’s sword upon impact. The sheer force of the clash sent a shockwave rippling through the arena, obliterating the forcefield that had contained the battle.Leon’s legs buckled, and he collapsed onto the ground, landing on his backside. His breath came in short gasps, his body trembling as realization sank in. He had been mere moments from death. If Lucian hadn’t stepped in, his fate would have been sealed.Lucian turned to him, his golden eyes impassive. “Are you clear on who the winner is?”Leon swallowed hard and nodded. He didn’t need a soothsayer to confirm what was painfully obvious—Dante had utterly defeated him.The crowd erupted in a mix of gasps and excited murmurs.“Can you believe that? Such a powerful attack was stopped by a single finger!” Zane, one of the commentators, exclaimed i

  • To Sever A Destiny

    Dante already knew something was wrong and that he was at a disadvantage, but he had managed to calm his nerves. He had realized that the more disadvantaged he was, the more he could tap into his true potential. Right now, he didn’t have the energy to deliver Void Star; even Void Rend and Void Crescent would be difficult to execute. His bones were broken, and his body was filled with injuries, but his mind had never been clearer.“You don’t seem worried?” Celeste asked Aria.Since everyone was watching, Vida and Aria didn’t sit in the VIP section with the headmasters; instead, they sat among the other students.“Not at all.” Even with Dante’s defeat seemingly inevitable, Aria and Vida didn’t appear concerned.“Are you that confident in him?” William Archibald asked. He still didn’t like Dante, but he was now aware that he wouldn’t last against him in battle.“You don’t know Dante,” Vida stated, drawing everyone’s attention. She was so beautiful and graceful that her presence demanded

  • A Master Of One

    Just before the competition started, Mr. Tilo met with the officials and struck a deal. He handed them a special device identical to the ones the students had been using to ensure their safety in the competition. However, unlike the normal safety devices, this one was specially designed to drain Dante’s mana and weaken him.Never one to take chances, Mr. Tilo had ordered his scientists to create this device specifically for Dante. Since it was indistinguishable from the regular ones and designed to deplete mana so subtly that even the user wouldn’t notice, it was impossible for Dante to realize what was happening.“Something is amiss,” Seraphina muttered, her sharp gaze locked on Dante as she noticed him growing weaker.“His mana seems to be depleting faster than normal,” Lucian observed with a frown.“It must be Mr. Tilo’s doing,” Seraphina growled, her eyes narrowing into a deadly glare directed at the oblivious man. Mr. Tilo, unaware of the murderous looks being sent his way, simpl

  • The Power Granted By The Four Element

    The crowd erupted with excitement as the final round of the competition commenced. Only three contestants remained—Dante, Leon, and Celeste. The entire arena buzzed with anticipation, eager to witness who would emerge as the ultimate champion.“I know you all are as excited as I am!” Zane’s voice boomed across the arena. “Never before have we had such a final, and I doubt we’ll ever see another like it!”The audience roared in agreement.“Have you placed your bets?”“Yes! I bet on Leon!”“Me too.”The spectators spoke favorably about Leon, and it was expected. He had slain an S-rank monster alone—an almost impossible feat for a teenager, even if the creature had been weakened. So despite how unbelievable Dante’s victories had been, Leon’s accomplishment was considered even more impressive.Zane’s voice cut through the chatter. “The matchups have been decided. The first duel will be between Dante and Celeste. Whoever wins will face Leon!”Just as the anticipation reached its peak, Cele

  • Something Primal

    Dante was about to collapse when Aria arrived and caught him just in time, steadying his weakened body against hers.“Good thing no one else is here to see the mighty Dante fall,” Aria joked, her voice light, though her eyes held a trace of concern.“Good, right?” Dante chuckled weakly as she helped him onto the bed. His limbs felt like lead, his muscles burning from the relentless battles he had endured. Still, he maintained his composure, even as he reached into his pocket, pulled out a small vial, and downed his medication in one swift gulp.Aria watched him closely. “You didn’t take it earlier, did you?”“Of course not,” he admitted. “I wasn’t about to show any sign of weakness in front of the audience or my enemies.”Aria sighed but let it slide. She knew Dante well enough to understand his pride.“Sorry I couldn’t end the competition like you wanted,” he added after a moment.“Like I wanted?” Aria’s eyes snapped open in surprise. “What I wanted was for you to win, not to end thin

  • Clash Of Titians

    "Send them all out!" Lucian yelled, drawing the organizers' attention to Dante's screen.Due to the arrival of the S-rank monster, everyone's focus had been on its battle with Leon. With only a few people paying attention to Dante, they had missed his brutal fight against nine S-rankers. Pushed beyond his limits, Dante was forced to evolve once again to eliminate the remaining opponents.Lucian, who had never taken his eyes off Dante, felt the shift in power the moment Dante leapt into the sky and roared before descending with the force of a falling star."Void Star!" Dante shouted, his sword brimming with converging void energy.Lucian could feel it—this power had the ability to erase all life. If Dante were to use such a technique at his peak, Lucian dreaded to imagine the destruction it could cause."Send them all out!" he yelled again.Just before Dante's sword could strike the ground, the organizers heeded Lucian’s warning and forcibly ejected the other competitors from the simul

  • Two Monsters

    When daybreak arrived, everyone was already anticipating how the competition would end. It felt as if it were already the finals. Dante had started his hunt for the S-rankers again, and it appeared as though he had gotten stronger.On the other hand, the S-rank monster had finally made its appearance. It descended from the sky, and all in the competition saw it. Since the number of competitors had dwindled, many no longer had any hope of winning against such a monster. So, they planned to drag Dante down with them. As for Dante, he was excited to fight the monster. He abandoned his hunt for the remaining S-rankers and headed toward the creature, unaware that he was already late—someone else was already standing before the monster alone.Above, the sky darkened, ominous clouds swirling as thunder rumbled through the air. The S-rank Lightning Dragon descended,

  • Better To Be Feared Than Loved

    By nightfall, Dante had eliminated more than a dozen S-rankers, and everyone feared that if this continued, Dante might actually end the competition in the second phase. The only ones spared from Dante's wrath were the A-ranks and below. He had ordered them to spread his agenda and eliminate themselves after delivering the message.The audience watched in utter disbelief as Dante ran rampant in the competition, and no one could stop him. Even the S-rankers, who had heard how easily Dante could defeat other S-rankers, began to fear facing him. At first, they had dismissed the rumors, but after hearing it from multiple competitors, they started to believe the terrifying truth.Dante, however, decided to rest, for he was exhausted. Although he might not show it, his mana was nearly depleted. Taking down the S-rankers had been more difficult than he had anticipated. After all, they were S-rank for a reason. The major advantage Dante held over them was his experience, and he knew that, to

  • Amateurs With A Loaded Gun

    Dante was aware that the audience would think him mad, for never had the competition ended in the second phase.“That’s madness. It’s impossible to end the competition in the second phase,” Steve stated.“We would never know until we try,” Dante smirked. He had already eliminated most of the A-ranks, and now he was mostly left with the S-ranks.“Do you know one of the reasons why S-rankers don’t fight each other during the second phase of the competition?”“Isn’t it because they’re confident the top ten spots belong to them, so they avoid fighting each other too early?”“That’s one reason. But the main reason is that at the end of the second phase, an S-rank monster is released. It’s so powerful that it always takes the combined effort of the S-rankers to deal with it. The second phase only ends when the monster is slain. If it isn’t by the time the clock runs out, everyone fails the competition. That means there would be no final, and the shame would fall equally on everyone.” Steve
