Alkan glanced to the side and saw a woman floating in the air just like him. She had long hair that cascaded down to her feet, the thick white strands playing in the wind.

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he noticed her pointed ears. Instantly, he recalled the elves he had seen in his favorite anime. He also remembered what a white Sawikin had told him when he was staying at the White Palace: “Fairies have pointed ears.”

It seemed he was facing a fairy.

Alkan calmed his wildly beating heart and looked down again. He wasn’t new to the sensation of flying; he had just been startled earlier. After all, who wouldn’t be shocked to wake up and find themselves floating in the air with nothing holding them up?

From the corner of his eye, he noticed Gio, who was also in the sky. But what puzzled him was that Gio’s wings were not spread—he was instead trapped inside a bubble of wind. It seemed to be the fairy’s doing.

Hah. The last thing Alkan remembered was Gio lettin

    Polito was a fairy belonging to the fairy tribe and the consort of Princess Theresa. He had the power to command both wind and fire. He could also read the minds of ordinary beings. Having just completed his studies in musical instruments, he was leisurely wandering outside the palace. He was picking flowers for his princess when he suddenly felt something warm, wet, and sticky land on his head. It had a strange smell. Polito frowned and looked up at the sky. That was when he saw his Princess Theresa, accompanied by a Sawikin trapped in a bubble of air and a… mortal? His brows furrowed, and without hesitation, he flew up into the air. He studied the mortal standing beside his princess. What was this weak creature planning with his princess? “Polito!” the princess greeted cheerfully. The crease in his forehead disappeared, replaced by a sweet smile. He floated closer to the princess and handed her the freshly picked flowers. “For you, my princess.” The woman lowered her gaze to th

    The fairy landed on one of the terraces of the palace, followed closely by Gio and Alkan, both of whom had been wearing serious expressions for some time. As they approached the palace, they felt a heavy, oppressive sensation—almost as if a powerful being was examining them, trying to determine who they were and what kind of creatures they belonged to."I've captured two beings who used the portal," Polito informed the guard stationed beside the massive doors of the terrace.The guard looked at Alkan and Gio before nodding. "There is currently a meeting taking place inside. You may take the captives to one of the chambers."Polito gestured for them to follow. The two had no choice but to obey, especially with the way the guards were glaring at them. It was clear that this tribe did not trust beings from outside their dimension."Wait here. A guard will come later to bring you before the queen," Polito instructed.Alkan nodded, while Gio averted his gaze. They entered through the golde

    "A trial will determine whether you are worthy of the power I shall bestow upon you. If you cannot overcome it, you will not receive the strength you desire," the queen’s voice echoed as his consciousness began to fade. "Alkan!" Gio shouted as Alkan collapsed....Hot. Wet. And it smelled fishy.Alkan’s eyes snapped open as he felt something licking his face. Darkness greeted him. At first, everything was unclear—where he was and why he was in such a pitch-black place.But he froze when, out of the darkness, he saw a pair of large, glowing red eyes. They moved closer to him, and once again, he felt something wet slide across his face.Wait. Something was wrong.Alkan quickly rolled to the side and stood up straight. Alert, he focused on the creature that owned those red eyes. But with no light around, he couldn’t make out what had just been licking his face.“Gio?” he called into the darkness.The red eyes turned toward him. A chill ran down Alkan’s spine. What kind of creature could

    The wolf blew a gust of wind. "Because you have proven yourself worthy of receiving power, I shall grant you the power that is rightfully yours." Alkan's eyes gleamed at what he heard. He no longer questioned who was speaking in his mind or what kind of trial it was referring to. His focus was entirely on the power that was about to be bestowed upon him. "Accept the power I offer you," said the mysterious wolf, and from its body emerged a purple flower. The purple flower floated toward him and entered his body. At that moment, Alkan lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a ceiling adorned with gold. He abruptly sat up. Was it all just a dream? Alkan furrowed his brows. He didn’t think about where he was; instead, his attention was on the power the wolf had given him. He quickly got out of the large bed and went to the terrace. Standing ther

    Gio stared intently at Alkan. He had no idea what version of Alkan would emerge from the illusion—or how the loss of his ability to feel joy would affect him. ... Thirteen sawikin were currently soaring through the sky of the dimension. Every fairy they passed looked up in curiosity at the unusual sight. Who were these sawikin brazenly flying over the kingdom? Excitement buzzed in the air as they awaited the palace’s reaction. Leading the group was Manuel. Behind him, twelve white sawikin followed as they flew toward the towering palace in the distance. He could feel the force trying to push him down, preventing him from flying any closer. If he were just an ordinary sawikin, he might have been frightened by its power and forced to land. But he was Manuel—the leader of the Twelve Great White Legions. To him, the force pressing against him was nothing more than a mere tickle. "Leader, I just rec

    The queen's brow furrowed. She did not like the Seer’s accusation against her. She opened her palm, and a purple flower emerged from it. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at the Seer. "If you have no further business here, you may leave," she said in a low voice. She was holding herself back from killing the Seer because she still had a purpose in the palace, but it seemed she had forgotten whom she was speaking to. When the Seer saw the purple flower, she suddenly took a step back, her face paling. Her teeth clenched in frustration. "If you don’t want your kingdom to disappear from the map, you should heed my words! Do not, under any circumstances, harm the mortal who will arrive in this palace!" A mischievous smile formed on the queen’s lips. "You’re too late. A mortal has already come here, and I have taken something from him that I will never return—no matt

    As the group emerged from the passage toward Tribal, Alkan saw several clusters of nimpa hiding among the trees and beyond the grasses. The group of sawikins soared into the sky, and the nimpa spotted them. In an instant, the hidden creatures quickly ran after the beings in the air.Alkan’s eyes narrowed as he watched the nimpa. Manuel noticed that Alkan had been observing them for a while."We have the nimpa with us, but I did not allow them to follow us into the fairy kingdom," he explained.Alkan merely nodded and looked away. He scanned the entirety of Tribal visible from the sky. And when his gaze reached the far south where Valeria was… he took a deep breath.When they arrived at the white palace, Alkan saw that many white sawikins were waiting for them. Manuel also explained that they knew that the two of them—Alkan and Gio—had entered the kingdom of the fairies. The fairies were known for being self-centered and did not wish to mingle with

    Alkan's body gradually stopped trembling. He opened his eyes, and for a brief moment, a light passed through them before disappearing. Slowly, his hair and eyes returned to their black color.He sat up in bed, lowering his gaze to his hands, where a mark had appeared on the back of his palms—two black wings. In the blink of an eye, the mark vanished.His brows furrowed, and he massaged his head. "Menandro," he muttered—the name of the first king of the White Sawikin, who was slain by the man resembling Manuel.Centuries had passed since he lived as a king in his second life, yet some memories remained unclear. One of them was the man who looked like Manuel. He wasn’t sure of Manuel’s connection to that man, as the memories he received when Menandro’s consciousness awakened inside him were fragmented, like a blurred lens.But he and Menandro were one and the same. Their personalities were simply different, making Menandro’s emotions and memories fe

    The young woman stepped down from the carriage and looked up at the sawikin who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. When their eyes met, she gasped and lowered her gaze. "How may I serve you?" she asked. Alkan stood up and spread the pair of black wings on his back. He took to the sky, followed by the ancient king, who neither responded to nor glanced at the young woman. "Who are you?" Alkan asked when he stopped flying and turned to face the black sawikin trailing behind him. The sawikin also hovered in the air, studying him from head to toe as if analyzing something intriguing. Alkan frowned. He did not like the way the sawikin was observing him. Moreover, the manananggal woman was still looking up at them. "You’re the mortal under the care of the white palace?" the sawikin asked in return. Alkan’s lips pressed into a thin line. Though he couldn’t see it, he could feel the sa

    Alkan glanced to the side, where Matilda occasionally peeked at him. He saw in her eyes the desire to approach, but she lacked the courage to face him. He sighed and turned to Yuli. "Don't think about it anymore. I need to return outside." Yuli nodded and simply watched as he flew out of the barrier he had created for the tribe. Cloaked in illusion, Alkan scanned the tribes he passed by. He noticed that everyone's energy was vibrant. He stopped mid-flight and furrowed his brows at what he saw. What was happening? He followed a carriage carrying a young manananggal woman. He saw a group heading toward the black palace. They came from a lush forest full of mysterious creatures. "I heard the ancient king has yet to choose a maiden he fancies," one of the woman's companions remarked. Alkan landed silently atop the carriage and stood there. The vehicle moved slowly, but it was enough to awaken the sleeping powers. He sat down an

    That was one of the orders given to Surikong by the Council. He had received a message last week about the being from the prophecy. So, he went to the dimension without the fairies’ knowledge and waited for Alkan’s arrival. The mortal did not disappoint him. The king accepted the drop of blood and stepped toward the center, where a large glowing symbol was etched into the ground. The markings on the light pulsed with power. He let the blood drip into the middle of the glowing circle, allowing the two black feathers to fall in as well. He chanted an incantation, and in an instant, black smoke engulfed the surroundings. "W-What’s happening?" a witch asked as they felt their strength draining. The witches surrounding the ritual collapsed to their knees, except for Surikong. Meanwhile, the king smirked and guided Valeria toward the glowing light. "Your Majesty," Valeria whispered worriedly as she, too, felt her energy fading.

  • Chapter 94: Surikong returns

    The destruction of the First Dimension, where the fairies resided, became the talk of Tribal. Fear spread as rumors circulated that the end of Tribal had come and that the Anito would judge all beings in the land. In the South, where the witches were holding their annual ritual, a bright light slashed across the ground. In an instant, a figure with pointed ears appeared, carrying a sleeping young girl—a fairy. The witches on guard quickly surrounded the stranger. "Who are you?" the leader of the group demanded. The clairvoyant scanned the area, sensing an eerie black energy radiating from the witches. She swallowed hard. As someone of high status in the Fairy Kingdom, she had grown up under the palace’s protection. This was the first time she had faced witches—beings her fellow fairies had long described as evil creatures that lived in the South. So, the queen's power had sent her to this place. They had barely escaped the

  • Chapter 93: The end of two dimensions

    "Why were the fairies so easily driven out of the dimension?" Gio asked in confusion as he watched the fairies evacuate to Tribal. The ordinary fairies were the first to flee, while the nobles and the queen remained in the palace. The corner of Alkan’s lips curled. "The strongest fairies are still inside the palace. What do you think that means?" Gio glanced at the palace. "The fairies are planning something." "Exactly. The queen is currently waiting for a prophecy from the clairvoyant," Alkan said, raising his hand. Blue flames mixed with wind emerged from his palm. "But my patience is running thin!" He hurled the flames at the palace. Slowly, the blue fire spread, engulfing the structure. The palace servants screamed, and the fleeing fairies stopped in their tracks, turning back to see the burning palace. "Is this the end for us?" one fairy asked, trembling as they stared at the palace. "Hurr

    Hot. It felt like he was inside an erupting volcano. His throat was parched. His blood felt like it was boiling, and his skin was burning. Water. He needed water! Suddenly, a cold sensation flowed through his chest. He let out a relieved breath. A few seconds later, a force tried to take over his being. Alkan furrowed his brows, resisting it. He knew that if he allowed this force to consume him, his existence in the world would be erased. "Mortal, let me enter your body. You cannot fight the Council. I will battle them for you," a voice whispered. Alkan froze. "Who are you?" he asked. "You and I are one. I am the Ancient Anito named Argus." He was silent for a moment. Then, he scoffed. "Why would you possess my body if we are one? This is my body, so don’t even try!" "But the Council is strong. You cannot defeat them." "Whether I can or not is none of your concern. This is my bod

    In truth, he had another reason for seeking the prisoners. When he saw Gio’s concern, he abandoned his original plan of using the Sawikin prince’s body. Instead, he sought another White Sawikin. Even if they were not pure like Gio, their essence would be enough to awaken his fourth power. He felt the surge of that fourth force within him as the flames devoured the bodies. Sweat formed on his forehead. The fire soon faded, and Alkan noticed the approaching White Army. He recalled his flames and pulled Gio away from the White Palace. The Sawikin remained in shock, but Alkan ignored him. He swiftly arrived at the Necromancer’s forest in the center of Tribal. Landing, he strode toward the towering balete tree. The area was restricted—no one could enter or leave without his knowledge. Summoning Pilak, he ordered her to watch over Gio, who remaine

    The massive gates of the White Palace were closed, but that was no obstacle for Alkan. He flew through an open terrace and stepped inside the palace. The illusion surrounding his body remained intact, keeping him hidden from the White Sawikin he passed by. Just as he remembered, the palace still shimmered with grand diamonds at every corner. Magic lights illuminated the surroundings, a stark contrast to the tribe, where fireflies were the only source of light. He encountered nymphs and other beings he had never seen before in the White Palace. It seemed that new tribes had pledged their allegiance to the palace. He made his way to Gio’s chamber. There were no guards outside, and he sensed no movement inside when he extended his awareness into the room. He stood by the door and knocked. A few minutes later, the Sawikin inside stirred from sle

    Alkan knew there was nothing the healer could do. Whoever had given Matilda the poison wouldn’t have done so if an easy cure existed. The attack had been planned for this very night—meant to weaken the tribe just before the invasion. But what they hadn’t expected was his ability to deceive the incoming army. He raised his hand, summoning silver flames that enveloped the chief. The tribe watched as the chief vomited black blood, which the silver flames incinerated. Soon, nothing more came from the chief’s mouth, and the silver flames returned to Alkan’s palm. The healer sighed in relief. "Thank you, Ancient Anito!" Praises for him echoed throughout the village. Alkan smirked slightly before turning to Yuli, who stood frozen, staring at the unconscious chief. "Standing idle will accomplish nothing. The one who poisoned the chief is
