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

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

"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

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

At this grand party, many powerful figures were in attendance—presidents of nations, prime ministers, royalty from various races, elite rankers, and top hunters. Most had brought their children, eager to showcase their lineage to the world. But the moment Dante stepped into the venue, they all faded into the background, mere stars to his moon. He was absolutely brilliant.As he walked slowly into the hall, Vida noticed something different about him. She had known Dante the longest, so it was no surprise that she was the first to sense the change. His hair was longer now, his physique more defined, but that wasn’t what caught her attention. It was the look in his eyes—a wild, untamed glint that hadn't been there before. Dante had always been gentle by nature. Even after awakening his powers, he’d remained calm and kind. But now, something had shifted. He looked like a man who knew his worth—and was ready to show the world.When Dante’s gaze fell on the girls, a small smile touched his
