The sun's rays hit the face of a 10-year-old kid who slowly opened his eyes, surprised to find himself in the middle of the forest. Thump. A burning sensation pierces Zorka's chest as he collapses to the ground. "Oh God, what's happening? Why am I alive again?" Zorka mutters, groaning in pain. Memories flood into Zorka's new body, bringing impactful recollections. The name carried by his body is the same, 10 years old, born to the magical couple Demista and Renata. His parents are powerful wizards. However, Zorka didn't inherit any magic at all. His small body carries the poison of a fire flower that poisoned his heart, leading to a tragic death. At the same time, Zorka comes from another world, hit by a truck on his way home. A 25-year-old man, a healer and poison expert, thought his soul was heading to the afterlife. Instead, he's reborn into the unfortunate kid's body. The last memory of the kid before dying was his abduction by shadow forces, orchestrated by his own father
Zorka rested for a few minutes. When he woke up, he and Azurks flew along with the potion-infused water, allowing them to float.In the middle of the lake, right where the Axolotl monster once nested, Zorka scattered the water as if it were rain. Zorka's clear potion immediately hit the lake, turning the once blue water black and boiling. Thick green smoke emerged from the boiling lake water. The hissing sound was horrifying.Azurks created protective bubbles to shield the villagers from the poisonous smoke."This is correct," said Zorka as he watched the boiling lake."For a while, the lake will look disgusting as the venomous mucus is being neutralized. The green smoke is evidence that the venom has been released!""What will happen next?" Azurks asked."We'll just wait on land. The process may take a long time because the contamination has been going on for years." Zorka asked Azurks to land. He instructed Umayah to prepare a carpet and umbrella on the lakeside.After Umayah carrie
Azurks provided crucial information. The blue crystal dragon bit the Axolotl monster not just to eat it, but also to research the venom content in its mucus using its tasting senses.The complex content could be tackled by Zorka. After escorting Umayah home, Zorka brought out some other food ingredients to prepare dinner for the kids taken care of by Umayah. Even though Zorka had stored wheat beforehand.Zorka asked Umayah to share some food with the villagers, as he was sure almost everyone in the village must be starving. Additionally, Zorka created a large water reservoir to distribute to the villagers. He used magic to make the water reservoir. Then, he created a dimensional hole to transfer water from the spring to the reservoir.It didn't take long for Zorka to fill the water reservoir. He estimated that the water stored in Umayah's yard would last for a week.After ensuring everything he did was completed, Zorka left the village using teleportation. With the information obtaine
Azurks quickly scanned the conditions underwater, where the Venomous Axolotl resided. He emitted a bit of his aura, causing the monster in the water to become restless. It moved around, crawling at the bottom of the lake as the sound of Azurks' aura echoed.Gazing fiercely at the Venomous Axolotl, Azurks was about to inform Zorka when he sensed the arrival of a human. Swiftly, he made himself invisible to the human except to Zorka.As his master was invited to visit the house of an elderly woman named Umayah, Azurks asked for permission to inspect the lake.Azurks discovered that the venom produced by the Venomous Axolotl, which was the size of a blue whale, was highly toxic. Its venom didn't immediately kill the lake's ecosystem in one spread. Instead, it spread slowly and had a deadly effect on the fertility of the village's soil. Even the animals in the area, which were typically calm and gentle, turned savage, destroying everything in their path.While Zorka accepted the granny Um
All the food Zorka served was gone. However, there was still some water and juice left. Zorka asked Umayah to keep the water and juice. Earlier, Zorka had brought some wheat baskets that he asked Azurks to fill into his dimension space.Azurks obtained the wheat when Zorka asked him to return to the beastmaster realm. In that realm, there were many wild plants commonly eaten by humans, including vast fields of wheat that grew without ever being harvested by humans (very few humans could enter the beastmaster realm).The children looked sleepy after eating for a while. The feeling of fullness made them comfortable."You sleepy?" Zorka asked. The children nodded in unison.Hearing Zorka's question, Umayah looked at the children. Their faces, initially pale, started to show their natural color. One of the children, seemingly a toddler, began to doze off.Umayah approached the toddler and carried them."You should rest. It's been a long time since you ate until full, making it difficult f
Zorka is taken aback as he looks at the children. Their vacant gazes, devoid of life's energy, fill him with pity. Umayah, noticing Zorka's surprise, explains."These ten children are the victims of parents who were destroyed by the monster. They are all orphaned, truly alone.”Umayah leads Zorka to a room that appears to be the living room. In the spacious room, there are chairs stacked high, covering the windows. In fact, Zorka only realizes upon entering Umayah's house that it feels dark. This is because the windows of Umayah's house are covered by tall, thick objects.Zorka sits on the carpet, its faded color covered in dust. Before sitting down, Umayah takes a broomstick. She sweeps the carpet to remove the dust that dirties it. However, her efforts are not very successful; the dust flies in all directions and ends up back on the carpet.Watching Umayah's efforts to please her guest, Zorka asks her to stop trying to clean the dust on the carpet."It's okay, Granny Umay. You don't
Zorka blinks his eyes repeatedly, then rubs them."Are we there already?" he asks, still drowsy."How could we be there already when flying on a winged camel just makes you sleepy!" Azurks says, annoyed.Instead of waking up as scolded by Azurks, the man hugs the camel's hump again, drifting back to sleep due to his extreme tiredness."Oh, in that case, wake me up when we arrive!" says Zorka."Tsk, if you flew with me, we'd be there in the blink of an eye." Azurks grumbles. He then transforms into a necklace and curls around Zorka's neck, falling asleep as well.Some time later, the winged camel stomps its feet. It snorts into Zorka's hair, causing the young man to open his eyes. He stretches them momentarily."It seems we've arrived!" Zorka exclaims, standing beside the winged camel and gazing at the village gate where a rusty nameplate hangs. Even the iron plate appears rusty and swings as the desert wind blows."Wow, the location is more chaotic than I thought," Zorka remarks. The
Zorka yawned, while Azurks curled around his neck. Azurks shrunk to the size of a baby's wrist. They looked like shiny blue necklace accessories.Many traders chattered, offering their goods. Zorka bought a small bag of dried fruits to snack on while enjoying the market atmosphere. The market was cozy and clean. Traders made it that way to make tourists feel comfortable and want to come back.Actually, in Zorka's world, there are flying balloon transports. But tickets are expensive and limited, so only certain people like nobles, kings, or sultans can use it.Once, the kingdom of Hexonia deliberately used ships because the sudden appearance of Azurks in the sea made King Eldermyst spontaneously order his subjects to use ships. Likewise, when Azurks appeared for the second time, they still had to use ships because their sailing position was close to the country where Azurks appeared.Zorka also wanted to experience air balloon transportation. But because of the limited space and only c
After a month of being tossed around on the sea, Zorka finally set foot on land at a port called Dajaj. The port was named Dajaj because many of its native residents raised chickens, especially roosters that had a melodious crow in the morning. That's why the people of Dajaj named their port Dajaj, which means rooster.The first thing Azurks felt when arriving at the port was the heat. The Dajaj port had no trees for shade. Even the distant view Zorka saw was just vast desert."Actually, what are you up to in Sandhill, Mr. Zorka?" asked the ship's sorcerer crew who came down to buy some supplies and deliver goods and money for the owner of the lemons used by Zorka."Just adventuring," Zorka didn't want to explain further."Oh, I thought you were looking for something unique or rare artifacts, haha. By the way, Mr. Zorka. What level is your magic at? Even if you say you're at the King level nearing grand, that's highly illogical," the ship's sorcerer crew remarked.Zorka was surprised
Zorka immediately dispelled his magic. The body parts of the sirens affected by his magic scattered around.The ship Zorka boarded became very dirty. Zorka rolled his eyes when he found out that Azurks deliberately removed his protective bubble magic while his magic was destroying the siren colony."What's your reason for removing the protective bubble magic, Azurks?" asked Zorka. The entire ship was stained with blood and pieces of siren bodies, with only Zorka safe because he protected himself with stronger magic than Azurks' bubble."I did it to make the human named Franky, who summoned the siren colony, aware. But you made him fall asleep instead, haha," Azurks chuckled at his own antics."Tsk, you liar!" Zorka cursed.Zorka knew that Azurks spread the siren blood on the ship for one purpose: if the ship ever passed through a sea route where there was a siren colony, the sirens in that area would stay away after catching the scent of blood on the ship.Azurks had once told stories
