Author's point of view...The city of Noranaka was cultured and very sophisticated, Alan never imagined that a small country could be so much developed.The buildings were so big and beautifully built that he wondered what the royal palace will look like. There was a tower in the middle of the capital city, it might be built to keep watch across the city.Alan climbed that tower to see if he could find the royal palace but halted his steps as someone called him from back. "Who the hell are you? Which clan do you belong to?"Which clan do you belong to....! That question repeated in his ears that he couldn't sort out what he can explain. He didn't know anything about the clans that live in this city."Hey you young brat?" that middle-aged man who was standing with a stick in his hand yelled again. Alan stepped down in hesitation, thinking of what he could answer. "I...I was" He rolled his eyes, it was the middle of the foreign city, and he can't start a fight as he doesn't know wha
Alan's point of view...A variety of food was served before me and that man was so friendly, I was fed well but the drink he offered me seemed to be poisoned. A strong smell of medicine was reeking from that bottle as he opened it.He surely took me as a fool.His too-good behavior was giving me a strong instinct that he was up to something. I wanted to know it.I just pretend to drink it and threw it out when he didn't notice. As I predicted, he was really up to something and it was not a minute before I fell on the seat acting drunk he revealed his true Intentions, he was going to offer me as a sacrifice...!Seriously...!Can he...?I was about to hit him back to reality when he was busy dreaming about his immense power but when I heard his next words, I got to know that it was not a good idea."Tomorrow morning, take him and submit to the officials of that sacrifice ceremony as a sacrifice offered by the Deshu clan, ha ha ha ha....!" he let out the instructions to his men, if I fi
Alan's point of view...There was mayhem in the place I was in, "Was this the man you were talking about? Huh?" a low and timid voice spoke out followed by the high pitch-rough tone I heard earlier, " Yes, Holy Priest, this was the man I just referred to" I slightly opened my eyes to look forward at the man standing before me.A man with a vibrant white color cloth wrapped around him, with those golden color clips to pin that cloth at places without falling.Almost the same as how that tall man was but based on personalities the former one was huge, tall, and masculine but this one was more like a lady. His voice resembles the same."Vacate the room..!" that so-called senior priest demanded and all the others left the room.He pressed his palm against his forehead reciting something, then shifted that palm to touch mine. I felt a warm gust passing through my body, I know I can halt this but I wanted to know what they will find out in me.That magical crystal or something else.Don't
Alan's point of view...The statue of the goddess was glowing and suddenly opened her eyes, I was just taken aback as I saw that, her eyes were blue as the ocean, burning bright with the spiritual flame around her. She possesses a magnetic energy of passion and purpose.Glowing with that divine beauty, she peered down into my eyes as if her gaze was penetrating my soul. I just stood there calmly, giving myself the time needed to judge if she was harmful or not.But soon her orbs turned dark, a glint of cruelty evident in her gaze. It resembled that her heart was so wild, that may just be the reason it's kept within the cage of her ribs!"Humm...!" "A goddess who needs innocent kids to be her sacrifice...!" I taunted sarcastically looking at how her beauty turned into a sign of cruelty when I started my demonic air curling up in between my fingers.She was finally moving as all her frame was changed and stepping out of the frame she was established in.That man who just awakened her
Alan's point of view...I know I shouldn't be getting distracted while doing these rituals but her words grabbed my attention, I didn't look at her but still, I was listening."The moment I will be gone, you will find a unique crystal, that is my blood crystal but cultivated for more than a thousand years. It isn't something you can get even if you turn the world upside down. That possesses immense powers, which can conquer the whole world. I know you are not a man to go after power and status but you got that already, my crystal will help you bind all the power crystals in your body, all together. That can also give you healing power. Once you take it in, you won't be able to use your powers for three days. Just don't give up on it, it's a tremendous power that humans can kill each other for this and if landed in some wrong hands like me, they can even wipe out the universe in the blindness of power. I hope you will keep it safe" She explained everything in a hurry because her body h
Alan's point of view...I held the wall to stand up as my body was still so weak.Every part of my body was throbbing in pain, I could hardly manage my balance let alone fighting with that tyrant.He took out his dagger and lunged toward me. In just one leap he was standing before me sorting and gritting in anger. There was a murderous aura in his eyes, "How dare you...!" before he could finish his snorting, I forced myself to act, "What were you doing all this time, your senior, the holy priest had sacrificed his life to wake me and I sacrificed my body to kill this monster," I looked at him, if he believed me or not.I heard masculine people have small brains, I didn't buy it before but it seems that it might be true in his case. He hung his dagger down, looking at me with frowned eyes."Y...you...!" he stuttered in utter shock."How could you...! No, you are lying...!" he deduced, I think I have to push him further, "Absurd, do you even know how much strength I had to spend fo
Alan's point of view...I thought that those jumbled paintings are going to help me but even after arranging them, it didn't help.Crab...!I wasted my time for nothing...!I strode further but those paintings were still clinging to my sanity, my instincts are never wrong. No...!There has to be something related to those paintings. But moving back to them didn't help me either, instead, it made it worse for me to stay there.I didn't even notice how, but a trap was turned on and I get stuck again. This time it wasn't any small arrows but huge balls of fire. It didn't give me a second to dodge, one after the other with the speed of bullets. Amazing...!Whoever is the one that set this trap must be appreciated for their work.Truly...!I hit those balls coming toward me with the dagger in my hand, just like how we play cricket. Though it worked, it didn't last long as the size of the ball increased over time.What should I do now? I couldn't use my magic, I don't have a sword at le
Alan's point of view...We brought all the hostages to a safe place near the valley, there were so many young people of all age groups. From kids like Zion to grown-ups of an age group of teens, and also young men of my age, and some were elder than me."They were all poisoned, my lord, but I don't know where the antidote is...!" Hayden hissed in dismay, citizens of this country talk with poison, live with poison, what else could I imagine from this? "Holy priest never trusts me, I was just a pawn to them all these years" he was so sad that he couldn't help these people, I actually liked that he was a good man at heart.Luckily I brought all those medicines from the collection of that old woman."Don't worry, Hayden, help me with this" I threw the pill bottle that I had been carrying on me, it was an allrounder antidote that was prepared by her. I tried it on that old man before and it worked miraculously.I was happy that I carried it and it was helpful now."You got the antidote wi
