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
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 40: Retrieving his memories from past lives
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
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 41: Pure and Dark
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
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 42: Chamber of Knowledge
Alkan stopped in his tracks, emotions flickering in his eyes. It was Manuel. Despite all the power he now possessed, there were still moments when he couldn’t sense Manuel’s presence. He couldn’t help but wonder—had Manuel done something to conceal his presence from Alkan’s awareness? "Do you need something... Manuel?" he asked. Manuel stared at him for a few seconds before shaking his head. He averted his gaze, his brows furrowed. The corner of Alkan’s lips curled slightly, but he said nothing and walked away. He could feel Manuel’s eyes following him, but he didn’t care. He made his way toward his room. Upon entering, he noticed that the bed had fresh, clean sheets. A meal had been prepared on the table, and the faint scent of flowers lingered in the air. A soft chuckle escaped his lips
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 43: First Journey
Alkan placed the weapon into the contractual space within him, then scanned the dark room. It seemed there was nothing more he could take from there, so he decided to leave. He could hear shouting and the crack of a whip not far away. His body quickly ignited, and he slowly stepped toward the source of the noise. When he arrived, he saw nearly a dozen shirtless prisoners kneeling, being lashed all at once. "Useless fools! A criminal has escaped! Weren’t you supposed to be guarding the prison properly?" a white Sawikin shouted at the bowing Sawikin. He assumed this was the head of the dungeon guards. Manuel must have already known that someone had tried to help the exorcists escape. When his gaze fell upon the prisoners—who were skin and bones due to their decayed flesh—he shook his head. He had given them a chance to escape, so why had they returned to prison? Tch. It wasn’t his fault if they were simply unlu
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 44: Goblin Tribe
He could trick them and trap them inside a cave before continuing his journey alone through the Tribal lands. A smirk curved his lips as he looked up at the sky. The sun was glaring, but he secretly raised his hand and, using his wind power, guided a cluster of clouds to block it. "Wait," he said to the two Sawikin trailing behind him. They stopped and exchanged glances. Alkan turned around to face them. Two small purple flames swiftly flew toward them and entered their bodies. "I didn’t want to do this, but I don’t need shadows following me." He sighed. "So don’t blame me. I wasn’t the one who ordered you to follow." He signaled the two Sawikin and took the lead, walking toward a secluded cave. In truth, it was a hidden cave, but earlier, he had extended his awareness over a hundred kilometers and discovered a small cave concealed by towering grass. He placed the two Sawikin inside and p
Overlord of the Four Powers Chapter 45: The necromanser (1)
After hours of flying in the sky, he spotted a stream below. He slowly descended and waved his hand. A few droplets of water floated toward him, and he immediately opened his mouth. Once his thirst was quenched, he scanned his surroundings. The place was unfamiliar to him. It was not among the memories he had acquired from Menandro and Achiles (his name in his first life). There was also a strange energy enveloping the entire forest. He extended his consciousness, but a force blocked him. His awareness couldn’t pass through the trees, so he opened his eyes and once again observed his surroundings. He tried flying into the sky, but he found himself unable to break through an invisible barrier surrounding the airspace. Alkan’s eyes narrowed. It seemed someone wanted to trap him in this forest. He landed and walked toward the stream. Stopping at the edge, he raised his hand. Within seconds, five large fish floated up from beneath the water. Using his earth magic, he carved a small p

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
Chapter 95: Ancient king of the black Palace (1)
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
Chapter 91: Unrecognizable (2)
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
Chapter 90: Unrecognizable (1)
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
Chapter 89: The fourth power (2)
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
