On Hansel's signal, someone entered with a long suitcase that contained a long black spear. A 2.5 meters spear made of black metal.
''Can I?" Dante stood up and approached the spear.
''Of course, go ahead it's yours anyway,'' Hansel responded with a faint smile, obviously happy to see Dante reacting like a child in front of a new toy.
Dante nodded before taking the spear out of the suitcase. He immediately frowned his arms dropping because of the spear's weight, it was heavy, at least twenty to thirty kilograms. Still, he had no problem adjusting to this weight after using his strength.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
A few swings and he was pleased with how well he felt in his arms.
''This spear costs me 5 million UD. It's made of a metal found only in a dungeon, the Steel dungeon. It's a metal capable of handling mana and this spear might not look like but it is an enchanted item.'' Hansel suddenly explained resulting in Dante raising an eyebrow at the unfamiliar term.
"Enchanted items are items with specific runes inside them. You said the trigger word to use the rune engraved into them. For example, in your case it Weight increase rune. First drop blood on the spear to be bound to it, like this only you can use the rune inside it.''
Dante nodded and dropped a drop of his blood onto the black spear which shone and Dante got the keyword to use this enchanted spear.
[Weight Increase]
Boom! Bang!
The black spear slammed onto the floor breaking the tiles as Dante increased its weight to fifty kilograms.
''Wow!" Dante shouted in admiration before making the spear's weight return to normal.
There seemed to be another level but there was a catch, if used the spear would be broken, so he postponed it for later.
''Thank you for the wonderful gift. I will not forget this.'' Dante promised and took the initiative to shake Hansel's hand. The latter nodded in appreciation at how quickly Dante was able to catch on. He was not doing this because he was running a charity association but because he wished to build a connection with this promising young man, besides he is someone with a connection to one of the eight, so it would be foolish not to make use of this opportunity. Hansel is an ambitious man and to reach his goals spending millions is not an issue.
Like this the two reached a silent agreement, Hansel wished to bask in Dante's future limelight while Dante would be using him in the future at the same time repaying this favor.
Soon, Dante asked to be excused, and just right when he left his room he met her. Time seemed to have stopped.
A woman of incredible beauty, this person was none other than Lilith.
[Master, this woman is dangerous.] Nemesis warned Dante whose lips rose to form a smile.
'I can tell. But I want her.'
'I want him more after seeing those beautiful eyes.'
Both have the same desire. Not something romantic but purely the desire to use the other. For the first, it's the desire to use this person's mess with that man and for the latter, it is the desire to use exceptional talent to achieve his goal.
''I'm Lilith Nightingale. Nice to meet you.'' She introduced herself asking for a handshake and Dante did not refuse her.
''I'm Dante Orion White. Nice to meet you too."
''Have we met before?" He asked right after introducing himself. Dante felt like they had met before, not once but several times.
Upon hearing this question Lilith smiled and from what one could imagine, her smile was enchanting as well she was beautiful, if normal Men were here they would fall under her charms. Even Hansel who had trouble dealing with this woman escaped somewhere as soon as he saw her. Dante was not fazed by her charm not because he lacked experience but because he understood that beautiful roses have thorns.
"I don't think we have met before. This is our first time.'' Obviously, Lilith wouldn't acknowledge having met him before and Dante could feel that she was lying but he was unable to prove it.
''I see. I must be overthinking.'' He didn't prob any further but secretly used his mind's eye on her.

He was shocked by her strength but for some unknown reason something doesn't feel right, but he wouldn't have the time to check.
''You are an interesting one. I want you.'' Lilith boldly declared while staring into those beautiful heterochromia eyes, she felt like she could watch them forever. They are so beautiful that it is almost a sin.
Ceres who was standing a few meters from them sighed thinking it has begun, she was curious about the kind of reply the young man would give.
Upon hearing Lilith's bold declaration, Dante couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of his mouth perked up.
''What a coincidence too as I also want you.'' He responded while looking into those beautiful ruby eyes, he could see desire inside them as well as she could in his eyes.
''Wow! It's decided then. Let's see who wins the other in the end. I'm leaving, do your best not to lose. We will meet again.'' Lilith left those words behind and disappeared with Ceres whose level Dante was unable to check, meaning she was stronger than him.
[Master, that was a dangerous decision. Why did you make that decision?] His system could not understand his choice thus the question but the only response she got was.
''It is because it's interesting.''
With such woman around things would be interesting. Dante smiled and started to head outside when he suddenly stopped after rubbing his nose, there was a smell on his hand the one he used for the handshake with that woman and he had felt this smell before.
''So it was you.''
