“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?"

    Howard couldn’t believe his eyes. His meticulously crafted plan had crumbled in an instant, shattered by the overwhelming might of Dante. It had taken mere moments. He looked around, his stomach churning at the sight of his allies sprawled across the ground, their limbs severed. And yet, he realized with a shudder—it was mercy.They should have been teleported away by the emergency device before Dante's blade could fully claim them. But that hadn’t happened. Which meant one thing.Dante's sword had been faster than the device itself.Howard swallowed hard, dread sinking into his bones. If Dante had aimed for their necks instead, they would all be dead. He came to realize that in front of absolute power, strategy means nothing.“Wow, even the device couldn’t save them from Dante’s fury. Why do you think that happened?” one of the commentators asked Zane, voice thick with disbelief.“There’s only one explanation,” Zane responded, eyes fixed on the battlefield. “Dante’s sword was faster

    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

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    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

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    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,

    "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

    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

    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

  • Last Dance

    Dante leaned in slightly, his breath warm against her ear as they continued their slow, clumsy dance."Because," he murmured, "every time you're near me, I feel a sharp tension in the air... like a dagger drawn but never thrown."Freya blinked up at him, surprised."You've never looked at me like the others do. Not with awe, not with desire, or even hate, but with challenge. You’re not trying to impress me. You’re trying to defeat me." Dante felt it first during the tournament. He felt the battle intent from Freya, but to his greatest shock, Freya actually stepped away. Then now at the party, he felt it also. Though he has no idea that Freya was using her clairvoyance ability, he still felt the intent. This shows Freya how frightening Dante truly is.Freya’s lips twitched. “You talk too much.”“And you’re not denying it.”She looked away, cheeks pink again. “I just want to land one hit," she murmured under her breathDante laughed—a deep, genuine sound that caught Freya off guard.“I

  • Power Of The Strong

    Aria glanced at Vida and felt a brief pang of pity, but it didn’t linger. She believed things would work out in time. Dante still hadn’t realized how Vida felt about him—he only saw her as his dearest friend.“I guess you’ll dance with Sylvia next?” Aria asked.Dante nodded with a smile. After walking her back, he turned to Sylvia and offered his hand. Like Aria, Sylvia accepted—only after Vida gave a small nod. Dante noticed this but simply assumed the girls viewed Vida as an older sister figure, which he found heartwarming.“For six months, I lived in hell,” Dante said as they began to waltz. “And for six months, you were my paradise in that hell.”Many men would give anything to trade places with him. Spurred on by his success, a few of them approached the girls again, hoping for a dance. But they were all turned down again.“And in those six months,” Sylvia replied, “you held up the sky for me.”“You already know how I feel about you?” he asked.Sylvia nodded, so he continued, “An

  • Dante's Request

    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

  • 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
