"Nonsense!" Rais Musi shouted, making everyone silent.I stretched my body and looked up, trying to stay alive and breathing while staring at Rais Musi's annoying face. At the edge of my grave, he waved his hand with an annoying expression on his face.“What he said was all nonsense! Repairing the Grand Healer Flaming Totem? What kind of joke is that!” Rais shouted in a booming voice.His supporters clamored in approval of his words. I can't give arguments anymore, not because I don't want to, but I just don't have the strength anymore. I just hope they get me out of here and give me something so I don't die a silly death. Their voices started to sound indistinct because my head started to feel dizzy and my ears were ringing. I don't know who was talking, maybe Rex was also talking in my head, or maybe people up there.“Just bury him back!” someone shouted. It was so loud, I could hear his voice clearly. I don't know who is talking.I wanted to shake my head and protest as hard as I c
"I am not lying!" I shouted quickly, afraid to hear the continuation of Mora's words.If I were Pinocchio, I'd probably have a really long nose by now. I really hope that this lie of mine isn't exposed for now, at least until I figure out how to crack the totem code to repair the Grand Healer Flaming Totem. I'm not sure, but if I can buy time, maybe I can find a way to escape."It's good that you're not lying. There are only a few hours left until the deadline comes,” said Mora."Huh? A few hours?” I asked with wide eyes.I almost spit out the meat in my mouth, but I managed to swallow it, fortunately."You do not know? The time limit is twenty-four hours from the failure of the ritual. If no sacrifice is buried in the ground by that time, then the god will be angry and there will be a plague. The ritual was carried out this morning, right? It's night now. You only have a few hours left until tomorrow morning,” Mora replied lightly.I widened my eyes in surprise. My whole body felt co
"Shut up Rex! You really are not helping in this situation,” I said with a snort of exasperation.'Ares, we won't be able to get out. They surround this place,' said Rex whining at me and it pissed me off a lot. I kicked something on the sandy floor and the gravel scattered.'What are you doing? You can destroy all these totems!’ Rex shouted in my head."Shut up!" I exclaimed in frustration.Rex fell silent and I noticed that he started to cry. I sighed and sat down on the sandy floor in the room.'I just want to find my father,' he said in my head.I felt my temples throb as I heard hissmall voice. My heart ached, as if to feel how it hurts. I massaged my temples while listening to his cries. At first I thought that I felt pain in Rex's heart, but a second later I realized that my heart also felt pain. What Rex felt made me also remember what happened in my childhood. I thought the pain had disappeared, but it didn't. My parents just disappeared, even though they promised to spend Ch
"I think I can do this," I said to convince myself.Rex didn't comment. From his thoughts, I could tell that he just wanted me to act quickly. He was so nervous he didn't know what to do other than shut up and let me do my thing. This kid finally shut up and I can control my own head in peace.I'm starting to see all these complicated sets of totem codes. These letters would not be recognized if I were myself, but because I am in Rex's body and the knowledge of the totem world is flowing in my brain, I can recognize them. Some of the letters and codes Rex didn't recognize, maybe because these totem codes were very ancient designs.After observing for a few minutes, I was able to locate where the damage was. There are codes that are missing in some parts. I immediately approached one of the missing parts. My eyes widened and seemed to glow as I tried to analyze the damaged part. My hands quickly moved. Without realizing it, a beam of light came out of my palm and after that, I was able
I couldn't see what was going on outside and that frustrated me a bit. I didn't recognize the voice of the person who had shouted earlier. It was definitely not the High Priest's voice. The man's voice seemed new to me. I was very curious about what was happening out there because I heard flabbergasted voices from outside."Let him go!" exclaimed the High Priest then.I widened my eyes at those words. They will let me go? Why? I was really curious, but I was really frustrated because I couldn't move or speak at all due to the petrification spell.However, a few moments later I felt them put my crate on the ground, then the ropes were opened. I gulped when they actually opened the lid of the coffin. Am I dreaming?'They let us go,' Rex said. It seemed he also could hardly believe what was happening.However, as soon as the coffin lid was opened, I saw a green light that was so bright. My heart is pounding. Is it possible?Several apprentices then took me out of the chest and that's whe
Everyone was cheering and of course I was hailed as a hero but there were faces that didn't like it. I was about to say something, but suddenly my words were blown away. Of course, I didn't rest all night and my strength was wasted on repairing the totem codes, how could I still stand tall after all that? After all, Rex Hito's body was only that of a ten year old child.I tried to stay upright, but my legs felt very weak and my vision started to blur. My hands flailed around, trying to find a hold, but my head started spinning and my ears were ringing. I lost consciousness right after. This must be so embarrassing. I just wish I fell in a graceful position, even if that's impossible.I don't know what happened next, but I want to lie like this in silence for a long time because I'm so tired. It feels like every time I open my eyes, I have a problem to deal with and it's so annoying. However, it felt like I was only momentarily unconscious, I suddenly came back to consciousness, becaus
I took a deep breath and before I got up, I immediately contacted Rex first. If anything was possible, Rex would probably know something. However, before I said it, it seemed she could already read it through my mind.‘It seems this has something to do with the other leaders. The Grand Healer Flaming Totem is the main totem for the Healer party. They will be much stronger than before. I think we put an imbalance between them,' said Rex.I was about to say something but Rex seemed to stop me immediately.'Don't say anything. I'm afraid someone might be listening. We have no choice but to go to the party now. You have to replenish our energy,” said Rex.I immediately stood up, forcing my body which was still very weak, and my head a little dizzy to walk towards the middle of the camp, where everyone must be gathered. From afar, I already smell the aroma of food. I'm getting used to the smell of beast meat and it makes me feel hungry. My stomach needs to be filled and that makes me quick
The person supported my body and helped me walk. I'm completely unconscious now, but I know my feet are still going. I can feel it when that person lays my body on a bed. I think he's a good guy because maybe he brought me back to my camp.Rex is still trying to communicate with me, but I don't know why suddenly I can't hear his voice at all. He seemed to drown and I fell into a deep sleep, forgetting everything that had happened. It felt like all the aches and pains in my body just magically disappeared and I really enjoyed my deep sleep.As if there was a natural alarm within my body, I awoke just at the crack of dawn. I know dawn must be breaking, but it's so hard to keep my eyes open. A second later I realized that I really can't open my eyelids! I couldn't move my body and couldn't even feel it all. I feel like I'm numb or maybe I'm paralyzed!Soon the training for the apprentices would start and I would have to get up, but I couldn't do it."Rex Hito! Wake up!” exclaimed someone
