Lucian knew it was dangerous for Dante to face the dungeon alone, so he handed him a talisman that would teleport him outside if his life was in danger.

“Just send a bit of mana into the talisman, and you’ll be teleported away,” Lucian explained.

“Alright.” Dante accepted the talisman, though he had no intention of using it. He could feel it—he was far stronger than before. This was his chance to push himself harder than ever. He also needed to find a way to balance his sword skills with his elemental abilities.

“Just wait for me. I won’t take long,” Dante said with a confident smile as he stepped into the dungeon.

The air inside was thick with eerie energy, and the ground trembled with the distant roars of fearsome creatures. Dante took a deep breath, his mind focused entirely on the challenge ahead.

With a swift motion, he drew his sword, the blade shimmering with a dark, void-like energy. A rush of familiar power surged through him. Now that he had access to his mana pool, he under

    It had been four months since Dante and Lucian began their journey together. In that time, Dante had grown by leaps and bounds, far surpassing even Lucian’s expectations. Every day seemed to bring new revelations, new powers, and new feats.Dante had unlocked the mastery of lightning, metal, currently he is using earth and air to create a forcefield. Using his newly developed forcefield, he could deflect and block almost anything thrown his way. To Lucian, watching his progress was nothing short of awe-inspiring. He never imagined that Dante would rise so quickly."You're using your forcefield to make yourself untouchable during combat," Lucian said, observing Dante as he swiftly defeated an S-rank monster deep within the dungeon. The monster howled in agony, its massive form crashing to the ground with a loud thud."Yes," Dante replied, his voice calm yet thoughtful. "It’s still a far cry from your gravity ability, but I’m getting there." He wiped the sweat from his brow and examined

    "You're looking for my great-granddaughter?" Toma asked as he noticed Dante constantly glancing at the door."Great-grand?" Dante was surprised—Lucian had earlier said the young girl was Toma's granddaughter, not great-granddaughter."Yes. You know, she spoke of you when she came back from the Human Tournament. She also said you always had two women with you." Toma chuckled."You're right, Dante is definitely a playboy," Lucian added, and the two old men couldn't help but laugh at the statement."Vida is a friend. I still haven't made my intentions clear with Aria," Dante pouted before gulping down the tea Toma had offered him."But you don't deny that you'd want both ladies for yourself?" Toma asked, wiggling his eyebrows. Dante couldn't help but notice how different Toma was from the dignified elves he'd always heard about."Let me tell you a secret—she's been talking about you non-stop since she returned from the competition." Toma giggled, instantly catching Dante’s interest. He w

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    A Walking Calamity

    Sylvia Glades couldn't believe that the human champion stood before her, holding her in his arms. It had not even been five months since the competition, and ever since then, he had been all she could think about. She remembered watching him secretly during the party."Can you let me go now?" she stuttered, believing her heart would explode if she stayed in this position any longer."I don't know. I actually like the way we are," Dante said as he pulled her closer. Her scent, her skin, her innocence—everything about her drew him in.In truth, this wasn't the first time he had felt the urge to make a woman his. He had felt it with Aria too, but Aria was different. He saw her as a strong, independent woman, someone capable of leading and making her own demands. She was a bit shy, but still strong enough to go after what she wanted. The elf princess before him, however, was different. She had so much innocence, so much tenderness, that Dante felt like he was about to corrupt something pu

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Destiny Always Prevails

    Stefan couldn't believe how things had turned out. He, the prideful genius, had been defeated by nothing but a footstep. He growled and tried to stand, but he couldn’t—the gravity was too strong, forcing him down. He managed to glance at the prince and his guards, all lying flat on their stomachs with faces wrinkled in pain. A part of him felt pride for only kneeling on one knee, but that pride quickly vanished when he remembered he was facing a human of the same generation.Of course, there have been instances in history in which a human has defeated an elf champion. Lucian the Untouchable managed to do it. But never had an elf been so thoroughly defeated. Even when Lucian won against the elf of his time, the fight could have gone either way if the elf hadn't underestimated him. Stefan’s pride might not have suffered so much if he hadn’t been so completely overpowered.“You can stop now,” the princess’s beautiful voice reached Dante, and he released the pressure, allowing those under

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    The Desert Worm

    “There hasn't been a single monster since we entered,” Dante stated.“Yes, but we shouldn’t let our guard down,” Lucian advised.It had been two days since they entered the dungeon, and in all that time, they hadn’t seen a single monster. According to Toma, however, the environment was different from the last time he was here.“And when will this desert end?” Even the patient Sylvia was now tired of the endless sand they had been walking on since their arrival.“Hopefully, we’ll get past it soon,” Toma muttered.“The last time you were here, what was the environment like?” Dante asked him.“Well, the first time I came, the dungeon was like any other. We fought against various ranks of monsters, but when we reached what we believed to be the final chamber, S-rank monsters started pouring out. If not for the teleportation talismans we had, many of us would have died,” Toma scoffed, remembering. “The second time, I thought it would be the same, but the moment we stepped in, we found ours

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    Fall Of Two Generational Genius

    “As long as I live, death shall never claim you.”Dante’s words echoed in her heart like a sacred promise, anchoring her in the storm. Despite the looming terror, Princess Sylvia felt an unexpected calm settle inside her. She felt safe, even in the face of death.Dante stepped forward, steady and sure, his tone cutting through the tension.“Look alive, gentlemen. We are not your average S-rankers.”Toma exhaled through gritted teeth, steeling himself. “It’s almost shameful, having a junior remind me of who I am... but thanks, Dante.”Lucian followed suit, his face composed, though his eyes were sharp with resolve. He stepped forward but paused long enough to cast a shimmering mana shield around Sylvia. Despite possessing the highest mana reserves among them, she wasn’t a fighter. Her strength was not meant for the battlefield.“There’s no holding back,” Toma reminded them. His voice was rough, and sparks of black lightning danced across his fingers.A sudden pulse shook the ground. Th

    "Where are we?" Sylvia asked as she opened her eyes and looked around the unfamiliar place.The sky was crimson red, with no moon or sun in sight. There was no way to tell if it was day or night."It looks like a deadland," Dante replied, scanning the horizon. There wasn’t a single trace of green as far as his eyes could see. "We need to get down and find a way back to our group."They stood atop a barren hill. Nothing surrounded them, just lifeless land stretching endlessly in all directions. Dante was certain they wouldn’t find anything here.But before they could descend, a shrieking sound pierced the air. Monsters came rushing from every direction, their numbers endless."Pardon me, Princess," Dante said as he summoned a forcefield to protect her. He stepped forward, alone.Through their conversations, Dante had learned how powerful Sylvia was. In a one-on-one battle, she could overwhelm most opponents with her sheer mana and nature magic. But because she had always been protected

  • The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life    The Preparation

    Dante remembered Toma saying they would face endless hordes of monsters, but he never imagined it would be this many. He opened the force-field and stepped inside so Sylvia could help him recharge. He could have waited for his mana to recover naturally, but that would take too long, and Sylvia had more than enough to share."Can you move this force-field?" Sylvia asked."Yes. We have to search this land. There must be a way out," Dante replied as he levitated the force-field. He needed a better view of the terrain."Wow," Sylvia muttered. As far as they could see, there were only monsters."They really are endless," Dante said, then began moving the force-field eastward as fast as he could.After a while, they heard a roar. When they turned, they saw a dragon spewing fire. If not for the force-field, they would have been reduced to ashes."That's a calamity-level monster," Aleric muttered, wondering if this was one of the legendary dragons said to be stronger than demons."This is jus

  • 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
