I could hear Rex's heartbeat getting weaker and it made me really panic. If I had a body I would probably be sweating and my heart was racing because I was trying so hard in the last seconds that death would come for me and Rex.The beam of light that appeared after made me feel like I was seeing heaven. I was really worried that the light that appeared was really the light of heaven, which meant that Rex and I had died, but it turned out that what appeared was the golden light from the golden tree.I squealed with joy at that. I can easily access the power of the golden tree now and with it, somehow I can take over Rex's body again. Rex's body glowed brightly because of the light from the golden tree and I could feel I was taking over the almost dead body.Even though I have now managed to switch places with Rex, this body has still been exposed to that deadly poison. However, I remembered the pouches that Mora had given me last night as a gift. With the help of the golden tree's pow
"We're going to die if we stay here!" I shouted. I realized only a second later that my voice might have been too loud.‘We will also die if we go out there!’ Rex shouted in my brain.“If we're here, we can only resign ourselves to death and we won't be able to find your father!” I shouted.Rex stopped talking when I mentioned his father. I might be too reckless, but I'm sure that staying in this tribe won't get us anywhere and death is always lurking. Whoever wants to kill us will keep at it until he succeeds. I won't be able to save us continuously.'I-I… I'm scared, Ares,' said Rex.I was speechless because I also feel the same way. Inside myself, I was terrified. However, I don't think we have much of a choice. With all that's been going on lately, I think the beasts are way better than the vengeful people in this tribe.I could feel Rex's fear but I ignored it.“You are stronger than you think, Rex,” I said.Rex was silent. Even though this child is whiny and likes to sulk, but w
I seemed to be struck by lightning when someone was behind me and called Rex's name. My brain froze even though I tried to think of reason after reason so I could answer his question. However, I was completely unable to do so."Rex!" call him again.I had to turn my head and how relieved I was to see that it was Noe behind me. Noe looked at me confused because maybe I looked pale as a ghost. I felt my hands go cold because Noe called out to me so suddenly that I was taken aback.“Noee!” I cried in a whisper.“Rex, everyone is looking for you,” said Noe.“I know,” I replied."What are you doing here?" he asked again, looking to the right and left. He seemed to have guessed that I was hiding and did not want anyone to see."I have to go, Noe," I said. I don't know if my words are easy to understand or not but I have to go soon and I hope Noe doesn't ask any more questions."But, Rex. It's almost dark!” exclaimed Noe while widening his eyes. There was great concern in the expression on h
I kept running away and only realized that my body felt very weak when I was far enough away from the tribe. I stopped to take a breath and then looked back. I'm no longer exposed to flashing flames so my body feels weak due to the effects of bloody marks.'It's very dark in here,' said Rex in my mind.I can just imagine Rex hugging himself in terror if only he had a body this time. I tried to stay brave even though I knew Rex could sense my fear too. You are in a dark and empty area. The light of the huge moon was not enough to penetrate these dense trees.We are quite safe from the pursuit of people in the tribe, they will not be able to chase us until we leave the tribe. However, out here we know that we will have new challenges. Without a flaming torch, I went deeper into the trees. The golden tree helps me to make the light come out of my hand so I can see in this darkness. So far, the forest appears empty.I decided to sit under a tree that looked safe. I quickly took out a hunk
The snake was bigger than I thought before and its movement was very fast. I tried to dodge, but there was no way. The snake tried to peck my eyeballs, but because I had time to shift, the snake's peck hit my temple. Pain coursed through my body and because I was shocked, I fell down.'Unlucky. That's the most venomous snake,' said Rex.Oh, shit. If that's true, I really would be dead by now. I just left the tribe and now I'm almost dead at the hands of the first beast I meet. This is ridiculous. I wanted to laugh but then I remembered that this was my stupidity and my life was about to be taken.The chimera wasted no time, it immediately lunged at me and one foot stamped on top of me. I coughed because the lion's legs were so heavy, they almost pounded my lungs. The fiery light from my body faded and disappeared as he did.The lion growled. Blood was still coming from the goat's slit neck, dripping down my face. I could see the red eyes of the lion staring at me angrily. At the same
“I-I don't care at all about power, territorial expansion, and all that confusing stuff, Your Highness. I just want to find my father,” I replied.I answered loudly even though I was afraid of this man because what I said was the truth. My main goal now is to find Rex's father and maybe after that, I can return to my own body. If the universe really sent me here, I believe my mission is to help Rex. Maybe the universe will send me back to my real life after that. I'm tired of being in this strange world full of danger."Your father?" he asked."Yes. My father, Rum Hito, I have to find him. He disappeared a few years ago,” I replied.'I hope he knows something,' Rex thought to me.“Rum Hito! Ah, no wonder your name is very familiar to my ears. Apparently, your name is very similar to your father's name," he said in a voice that was quite jarring, making me surprised.It turns out that he does know something about Rex's father. That made me quite enthusiastic because my decision to run
"If you want to find your father, I suggest you think it over, Rex," Toth told me. He looked very serious when he said that."May I know the reason, Your Majesty?" I asked curiously.“You are like looking for a needle in a haystack. Not to mention the barn where the hay was being burned. The point is your plan is impossible. Forget it," he replied.I'm just silent because I can't possibly argue with a Leader. However, I don't trust him completely. Even though he saved my life, there was something about him that made me doubt him.“You may stay here for a while, Rex Hito. You can't possibly live in the wilderness, can you?” he asked.“Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty,” I said. I forgot to thank him after everything that happened.'We are lucky to meet nice people,' said Rex in my brain.However, I don't really agree with him. His kindness is suspicious in my eyes. I can't believe anyone saved us without expecting anything in return. I know he must want something. Maybe I'm being t
"Time to eat," the man said.I turned to look at him and his expressionless face curved into a slight smile. Even though it was very faint, it looked like he was smiling. I nodded and tried to drag my body which still ached, walking further toward the shared dining area.Toth Karan and the other leaders were already sitting in the seats provided for them. When I appeared, everyone fell silent and looked at me. I don't know what I should do in this situation, so I just stay silent.“Listen up everyone! Rex Hito will be living with us from today. Treat him like a part of the Shadow Totem Tribe!” exclaimed Toth Karan."Your Honour, he has killed our brother!” exclaimed someone.Damn! I just remembered that in the battle at that time, I got some people from that tribe killed. It's nothing I've got a lot of enemies here and it immediately made my mood drop drastically. It's not even safe here.“Your brother died in battle, Borne. He died in the battle against the Flaming Totem Tribe. This
