2025-03-21 22:15:14When 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
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life 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
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life 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
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life 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 Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life 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
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life 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
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Dante's Goal
When Dante woke up, he saw a man sitting beside him. He had never seen the man before, but he could sense an incredible power emanating from him. Never had he felt so much power concentrated in a single individual, and the fact that the man could suppress such tremendous mana was remarkable."You're awake," the man said."Yes. Sorry, but who are you?" Dante asked."I am Lucian, your headmaster," the man introduced himself.Dante widened his eyes. Of course, he had heard about their headmaster—Lucian the Untouchable, the man considered humanity’s strongest."Forgive my ignorance.""You don't need to apologize," Lucian chuckled. "I won’t take much of your time. I just have a question about the medication you’ve been taking."While Dante was unconscious, Lucian had a doctor examine him and discovered that Dante had been using some kind of suppressant."I was very weak as a child, so my mother, a B-rank healer, developed a drug to help me recover. Even after awakening, I still need the dr
The Demon Lord Wanted An Ordinary Life Lucian's Demand
The grand hall was adorned with banners and shimmering chandeliers, casting a golden glow over the gathered students, professors, and distinguished guests. The air buzzed with excitement as the reward ceremony was about to begin, marking the end of the competition. Students stood in neat rows, dressed in their academy uniforms, their eyes fixed on the stage where the headmasters of each academy stood.Seraphina stepped forward, her sharp gaze sweeping over the gathered students. She had been selected to present the awards."Today, we recognize the achievements of the students," she announced. "Those who have demonstrated outstanding skill, courage, and resilience."Murmurs filled the hall as the first name was called."Dante."A hushed silence fell over the crowd before applause erupted. Dante, his midnight-black hair catching the light, strode forward with his usual composed expression. Though he was never expected to be the winner of this competition, his prowess was undeniable. He

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
