"Deek’s Party versus the Trembling Demonheart!”
It wasn’t the same judge who had called me out before. He also added party to the name, which made it sound even worse. Once again, we were against a team that had a way better name than our own. Was it too late to change our name now? It was no wonder that we didn’t have a fan base. What was I thinking just calling it after my name?
As we walked onto the stage, a group of five also walked onto the stage. I was relieved to see that three of them were slaves. Actually, I really shouldn’t be relieved about others having slaves, but at least my group couldn’t be singled out.
“Isn’t that the one who battled Dragonmight?” I started to tense up as I heard this word.
“I don’t know, I didn’t see that match. I heard that he attacked the girls first. Savage.”
Well, those weren’t the worst rumors that could have spawned from my match. If it stopped there, I could definitely leave happy. Actually, I couldn’t leave at all. I had to fight this match first. The three slaves were two men and a woman. The men were strong and muscular looking. The woman was big-breasted. She gave me a feeling like she might be a magician or something.
As for the non-slaves, they appeared to be a sister and brother combo. Oh, they were kissing now, I guess they weren’t related at all.
“I heard they’re brother and sister.” I caught a disgusted voice behind me whispering.
Never mind that, it was preferable if it was don’t ask, don’t tell on this particular situation. Rather, can you guys use less tongue? This is a public place. Even your slaves are looking a little awkward. I felt a growing urge to beat both of these incestuous siblings up. It wasn’t because I was jealous that I also didn’t have a cute little sister. I certainly wouldn’t kiss her like that if I did!
Actually, I did kiss my cousin once, but we were young. She was also a fat girl, about the same weight as me. It was a few years since I had last seen her. Wait, why did watching a brother/sister combo make out on the fighting ring suddenly make me feel a bit nostalgic for home? Even if I found a way back home, I wouldn’t take it unless I could bring everyone I cared about with me!
“Begin!”
I was still having stupid thoughts when my girls ran out to fight their group. The three slaves seemed to be holding off my slaves. I realized that the sibling couple were holding hands and were coming for me. I raised my hand and started tossing our fireballs. The two seemed to dance around them. I even heard the crowd yelling “ooh” and “ahhh”. What the hell was going on? This was a fight to the death, stop acting so suave.
That’s what I was thinking, but this was supposed to be entertaining for the crowds and I did say that I would create waves in this fight. In that case, my mind was reeling as I tried to come up with something to really cause this fight to stand out. I then remembered from my previous fight that the crowds seemed to really love a hero for justice. Suddenly, an idea struck my mind and I pointed to the couple.
“I challenge you!” I suddenly declared, righteous fury painting my face.
The couple stopped, clearly surprised at being pointed at and addressed in the middle of the battle. I spoke loudly enough that the entire match froze for a moment.
“What is it?’ The male finally said, putting his sister behind him. “We’re already fighting, what challenge?”
“You possess such a great beauty, but it is clear you don’t deserve her!” I said. “So, how about a one on one between you and me. If I win, then you hand her over to me!”

Seriously?
My disappointment since this whole arc started after rescuing Terra is immeasurable. There are so many things that are just... plain bad. I wonder why the author is even doing this? It was soo good but now? nah.
Oh well, writing books is difficult, what would I know in the first place.
Nah you ain't wrong. As the reader you have the right to criticize the work you read.
@Mtron98 funny, most "criticism" I've read in the comments is stupid and just an opinion. Not actual criticism nor a critique.
Alright. I'm done.
I can deal with poor decision making, and trope situations, etc, but with the end of this chapter, some major cringe has been added on as well.
Taking a step back, readers usually want to live vicariously through the MCs of these stories - but as this goes on, I'm just feeling more pity for him.
I just wanted to read a story about a slave harem, and dungeon diving, and seeing their numbers go up, and occasionally b*itch slapping some random jackass who deserves it...
Not this huge waylay from the dungeoning wherein we experience stupid decision after misunderstanding, after misunderstanding, after saying something stupid, after misunderstanding.
If I was the MC right now, I'd be too embarrassed to continue living.
I definitely need to drop this story from my read list for a while to dull the disappointment I am feeling right now.
@Dr.Smut After my previous comment, I had a thought. This story reads like watching a rom-com anime. The protagonist is an idiot who constantly makes mistakes but his girls love him anyways. The problem with this is that when watching a show, the viewer is separated from the story because they can visually see the characters. When reading, as you mentioned, it is much easier to become a part of the story as the MC, where you live it vicariously through them. Because of this written stories have the potential to resonate with us in a way that shows cannot manage. This magnifies the effect the MC's mistakes have on the reader because we feel it as if it is happening to us. No one likes to feel like an idiot.
If only there was a slam face in to the ground emoji.
The alcohol has given him brain damge
Deek is dumbass
*a
welp, i know its intentional and all, but this is just advanced nonsense
Agreed he is an extreme dumbass!
Battle 6%
Inner monologue 94% (which I find plain stupid and no sense, I feel like it's just making chapter words long enough)
“You possess such a great beauty, but it is clear you don’t deserve her!” I said. “So, how about a one on one between you and me. If I win, then you hand her over to me!”
A hero?Nope, but a demon king lol!He has eloquent speaking skills lol.
ufff I had been told that this arc is one of the worst since the mc does f*cking bullsh*t every time he can
