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 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 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

    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.

    When Dante and Marcus stepped out, the students were all gathered together. Unlike what Marcus expected, their attention was focused entirely on Victor. The students who had participated in the competition didn’t know what had happened because they couldn’t watch themselves. The only thing they had seen was the scoreboard. Since they hadn’t witnessed Dante killing the monsters and hadn’t yet spoken with their peers who had watched, they all assumed that Victor must have been responsible for the miracle.“I knew with you, we would have a spot,” one of the students praised Victor.“I…” Victor tried to speak, but they didn’t give him the chance.“You don’t need to be so humble,” another added, noticing Victor’s hesitant expression.Even students from other academies were looking at Victor, and many S-rank awakeners already saw him as a rival. The attention made Victor elated, and he found himself unable to deny the claim anymore. Since no one had stepped forward to correct the misunderst

    Victor was livid after the truth came to light. He couldn't help but thrash around his room, seething with anger."He did it on purpose. This is his way of punishing me for not accepting his suggestions," he fumed."You’re right," Steve agreed, supporting Victor’s suspicion.Steve, an A-rank shifter with the ability to transform into a tiger, greatly increasing his strength and agility, shared Victor’s belief that Dante had orchestrated everything to humiliate him. After all, if it wasn’t planned, why hadn’t Dante stepped forward to correct everyone’s assumptions?"How can he be so cruel?" Victor growled.They refused to acknowledge their own faults, despite knowing deep down that if Dante had spoken up to correct the misunderstanding, they would have called him a liar. The funny thing about humans is that they only see what they want to see, choosing the version of the truth that best suits them."We’ll deal with him in the second phase," Victor declared. "We’ll show everyone that, d

    “This has never happened before,” Zane Vortex exclaimed as he watched the massive crowd gathered for the second phase of the competition. Normally, such crowds only appeared for the finals, but for some reason, they had all come early.“I guess they all heard about the impossible swordsman who made history and are eager to see him in action,” one of the commentators added.“Yes, and they also want to watch Leon Ignis perform his magic. The way he dominated the first phase was mind-blowing,” Zane said, glancing at the VIP section where Mr. Tilo Ignis, the richest man and Leon's father, was seated.“There are a lot of important figures here, even the elven academies sent their representatives.”“Of course. Since they will be hosting the next Multiversal Convergence, I'm sure many other realms have sent spies to assess the strength of Earth's champion.”The commentators continued their discussion while the audience settled in to watch the second phase.“Hello, Miss Seraphina,” Mr. Tilo g

    “You have no idea what you are doing,” Aria said while sitting on a rock.“I know exactly what I am doing,” Howard stated. His confidence was through the roof because of the allies surrounding him. There was no way Dante would be able to win against this many awakeners.“Your boyfriend is about to learn the difference between fighting a horde of brainless monsters and skilled awakeners,” he smirked. “Besides, he has a surprise waiting for him before he gets here.”On his way to Aria, Dante’s path was blocked by a competitor.“I would appreciate it if you let me pass. I need to save Aria,” Dante said calmly.“I am Adam,” the competitor responded, ignoring Dante's plea. “I was recruited by Howard to fight you alongside the others.”“Then why are you here alone?”Adam sighed and looked up. “My father once told me that in life, only two things are bound to happen: you either win or lose. If you win, do it with dignity. If you lose, do so with honor. So you see, if I were to fight you with

    Dante arrived at the scene swiftly, his sharp gaze scanning for any signs of injury on Aria. A sigh of relief escaped his lips when he saw that she was unharmed."The hero came to save the damsel. How touching," Howard mused, a smirk tugging at his lips.Dante ignored him completely, his focus solely on Aria. He strode toward her, his steps unhurried yet filled with quiet confidence. The others had witnessed his merciless slaughter of an entire horde of beasts, but standing this close to him was an entirely different experience. Though his sword remained sheathed and his expression betrayed no anger, his aura was razor-sharp, pressing against them like an unseen blade."Are you alright?"Aria offered a sad smile. "Yes, but I’m sorry. I’ve only made things more difficult for you."Dante chuckled. "Not at all. I actually enjoyed hearing everyone refer to you as my woman." He leaned down, meeting her gaze.Aria’s eyes wavered. "Aren’t you angry that I’m weak and can be used against you?"

  • 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
