Dante's Immortality
Community Rating
Description
Dante doesnt know where he came from and is ostracized as a demon because of his appearance. However he has hope, a gift from the Goddess could be his key to freedom. Every year any boy or girl who reaches the age of 14 can receive the blessing of the Goddess and the Status. The Status allows them to freely manipulate the world essence around them and be strengthened through it (yeah, its a status screen).
Pretty much the rest of the synopsis is the prologue, please read it and tell me what you think. I tagged some of the elements i plan to implement in the story, so check there. Also i left gore, profanity, and traumatising content in because i plan on going a little dark at times in the story let me know what you guys think on that.
Im a big reader but this is the first thing that ive written (may suck) go easy on me and give me all the critique you can.
cover is some fanart for devil may cry. I couldnt track down original creator (just a bunch of repost) but if the author is out there, message me if you want me to take it down or give credit

- NibNobRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Honestly the main thing that put me off of picking up this story was the fact that the MC was named Dante and it used a DMC pic as it's cover. It's good though, really good.
- Vowron PrimeRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0Alright, so it's been two years since this stopped serializing, but that's irrelevant. I wanted to express my appreciation for this glorious story that we all got to read for free. I believe the author stopped because they were unhappy with the story and prose, but I disagree.
I enjoyed every minute of this ride, even when it turned tragic at times. I do hope it is picked up and finished one day. I'll be here, waiting. - carlo6927Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0Love it, hope it isn't dropped like most of the good stories
- dante7555Royal Road★★★★★ 5.0I just love how the MC is basically a remake of Dante from DmC. Of course the personalities are different and the abilities slightly differ. But still, Dante is one of the best videogame character. He’s also the best source of nostalgia for me.
The story is very well paced. Though I honestly hope the author makes his own decisions rather than following the results of the polls. The story will be messed up that way.
And that leads me to my main concern. The romance, honestly harems are rarely and I mean RARELY done right. So I hope the author is either extremely talented at writting about harem elements, only pick one girl for the romance, or just remove all the romance elements from the story. Seriously this is, for me, the downfall of many stories.
The deceit and politics in the story is still simple enough for me to follow and make speculations. So I hope those elements won’t be bumped up to 11 all of a sudden like alot of other stories.
Overall currently this story has endless potential, it can seriously go in most directions. Action, Adventure, a bit of Tragedy, Suspense, Psychological, etc. I honestly hope it doesn’t get dropped. The only downfall as I stated earlier is the Romance. Honestly the safest choice would be to avoid it, with Dante’s social position and how dangerous the world is, romance isn’t the most important part of the story. - ravhageRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5you clearly stated that this is your first real literary project. the resulting product is good to the point of being addictive...so thank you for the hard work.
already bought the edited version on amazon and devored the rest of your work here, and frankly, find myself wanting more. so do you have an update ? will post more chapters soon ? - EverShadowRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This story reminds me of The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound in both the release schedule as well as story pacing. First of all, I love the very frequent releases. They keep me engaged in the story and it shows that you care a lot about this. The pacing is very good as well, you are advancing Dante's skills very fast, but in a reasonable way. I have found the story to be original, facinating, and with a lot of potential. The world is interesting, and there are a ton of directions this story could take. My only possible complaint is that the characters, while interesting, seem to fall into steryotypes such as scared and respectful commoner, pompous noble, or bumbling commoner turned noble in the case of the main character. However, this isn't that big of a deal because a lot of stories start out this way, and I can already see the characters starting to develop their own personalities and unique quirks. Thanks and keep it up!
Edit: Please don't drop this. - deadshift2010Royal Road★★★★★ 4.5I just have a few things that I want to point out and other than that, I really like it.
1. I'd really like to know more about his past. Was he always an orphan? What kind of things did he have to go through? Was it just dislike towards him or were people violent? You could help show us stuff like this by maybe making Dante have a near death experience and then get rescued by a girl who lives alone in the woods and while he's unconscious he could have flashbacks. Bringing me to my next point.
2. He doesn't really have any allies. I'm not sure if you're trying to portray this as a 'Him Vs the World' type story, but personally, I'd like to see him get a faction behind him who is able to protect him.
3.Please please please don't make this into a super hardcore world. I can see that you are doing your best to not give him an easy time, and I agree, adversity really builds character and we can see that in the story, I just don't want to see him being betrayed everywhere and hating the world. After all, I rather like his still good and decent personality. - visigothRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0Pretty decent but if youre expecting the mc to be proactive instead of reactive this isnt for you, it felt like throughout the story he was consantly at someones mercy as well as being steered towards a path whether it be for good or bad intentions. Personally i prefer it when the mc develops on his own and interactes with the worlds major players once he is fairly competent and self sufficient but those are just my preferences.
- EpicDumpster-fireRoyal Road★★★ 2.5Ok i started reading with an hopeful outlook and i trought the story had some potential, the MC lived an hard life and was hungry to be something more, the system looked unusual and somewhat interesting and i wash hopeful the worldbuilding would prove itself to be gripping and detailed.
Sadly i was disappointed:
1)The MC lack a background story and a coherent personality,his personality doesn't match his life experiences. But if you look to some of his decision and rections he may be just that dumb.
Dante often make decision without thinking , the author bend reality in ridicoulous ways to make sense of it,thus hurting the flow of the story.
es: It wasn't my fault the meanie battleglove make me do it Waah Waa Waah Waa.
2) The system had a fuckton of potential; Sadly the author chose four bland and unnimaginative powers for Dante, wasting an amazing opportunity to upgrade the power system from kinda interesting to extraordinary.
3) Honestly the world buildin its meh, another wasted opportunity!
4) The plot...
The academy arc was useless and unrealistic, no one would ever enroll in that draconic place,it would makes no sense. I wanted to bitch and rant regarding the academy but reading some reviews i found the best way to descibe that place: "MEAT GRINDER".
I loved the predatory dungeon,that mini arc was the only part of the plot i loved.
The dungeons concept in this story are on point!
I will keep reading it, i honestly couldn't tell you why but i know i will! - DarkAetherRoyal Road★★ 1.5Ok so I had a couple of issues through this story and ended up having to drop the whole damn thing at about the end of the academy arc.
My first issue with the series is that at the start he is introduced to us as pretty much absolutly hated by everyone in starter village. However the issue that comes up with this scenerio is the fact that we never actually get an intro to the mc. Our mc when introduced to the reader pretty much pop's up out of no where without even a reason as to why he is currently living on the streets in a village surrounded by monster's. Another issue with this situation is the fact that everyone's actual issue with the mc isn't any family history (of which none exist), or even an issue with his personality instead everyone (and I do mean EVERYONE) hates the mc because......... OF HIS HAIR AND EYES!!!!!! I kid you not the mc is forced to live on the streets and somehow makes money but when he does make money he is overcharged on everything he buys or is flat out refused as a customer. I gotta admit that when our mc's backstory is given it pretty much just flops.
Now my second issue with the series is the mc's ritual and chosen classes. How things work in this series is a person has a priest do a ritual and that ritual will unlock your class and determine your future prospects. When such a situation is presented to the mc rather than being given a class he is instead offered the option of choosing his own FOUR classes of his choosing from all classes. After the mc spends some time looking through his options the author gives the mc one of the most boring and over done setups out there. In the beginning our mc originally wanted to be a warlock but upon choosing he goes with 2 melee classes one based around aura's and another around just being a dual wielder then he decideds to get two magic classes................ and proceed's to get two magic classes who's only purpose is to prop up how utterly boring the two melee classes are and hopefully mak
