At dawn, Zorka handed over the inn keys at the reception desk. Only one attendant was there, taking over from Mr. Em's shift. Zorka intentionally left the inn early to skip any unnecessary goodbyes – not a fan of small talk.

Zorka walked a few hundred meters outside the Elmdale village gate. Then, Azurks transformed into his true form.

"Get on!" Azurks commanded Zorka.

Azurks' giant body left Zorka wide-eyed. It felt tough getting onto Azurks, where Zorka ended up positioned at Azurks' clawed feet.

Without being told, Azurks noticed Zorka struggling to climb onto his back. He cast a bubble spell enveloping Zorka, making the small figure float and land on Azurks' back.

"Hold on tight to my mane!" Zorka followed Azurks' instruction, sitting calmly while gripping Azurks' mane.

Azurks' large bat wings unfolded. Slowly flapping them, a strong wind rustled the oak trees outside the Elmdale village gate.

There's a reason why Zorka left the village of Elmdale. Azurks invited him to fly to a p

    Zorka found some jatropha leaves useful for reducing the effects of the spider's venom. He picked a few fresh leaves and asked Azurks to find water through telepathy while he searched for other herbal plants to treat the girl who had fallen victim to the spider.Once the necessary plants were gathered, Zorka washed the jatropha leaves and found a stone to crush them into a paste. Despite Azurks grumbling, Zorka asked him to carve the stone into a makeshift mortar. The jatropha paste was squeezed to release a greenish liquid, which was then allowed to settle until jatropha oil emerged. Though it took a while, Zorka kept monitoring the girl's pulse.At one point, Zorka asked Azurks to heal the girl, but Azurks explained that his magic couldn't handle toxins or venom. Azurks only healed the spider bite wounds, not the venom. Earlier, Zorka had applied jatropha oil to the bites."Luckily, the venom in her body is just neurotoxin, not protein solvents or histamine. So, it can still be mana

    Almia wiped away her tears with the back of her hand."Now I'm worried about my mom," Almia whispered.A sudden silence filled the air after Almia stopped telling her story. Zorka's eyes stared at the crackling bonfire, consuming the firewood. A few tiny sparks floated briefly and then disappeared.The silence made Almia uneasy. She changed the topic to lighten the mood."By the way, Zorka. I'm curious about you. Why would a kid like you enter the dangerous Dzara forest? Especially alone."Hearing that, Zorka just chuckled while rubbing his nose."Well, that..." Zorka took a moment to think about what to say to Almia. He didn't want to reveal the secret that he came there to train with his contracted dragon."I'm learning specialized poison treatment. My teacher asked me to search for various toxins and venoms, whether from animals or plants," Zorka explained."So, you're a future healer?" Almia's eyes sparkled hearing Zorka's explanation."Hmm, you could say that, hehe.""So, did you

    Zorka grills wild boar meat on a heated flat stone over embers. As the sun peeks through, the savory scent fills the air, waking up Almia. Her empty stomach catches a whiff of the tempting grilled meat."Smells so good." Almia sits by the natural stone grill in front of the campfire.Zorka places a big piece of well-cooked grilled meat on a leaf. "Here, give it a try!"Almia happily takes a bite. But as she eats, she suddenly gets thoughtful."Do you want to go home soon?”Almia looked at Zorka after he just asked her. "Y-yes, of course.""Well then, finish your breakfast. I'll take you out of this forest," Zorka replied."You better hurry up with that. Your time for training is wasted just to deal with one human," Azurks reminded telepathically.After breakfast, Zorka got ready to escort Almia. Azurks curled up on Zorka's shoulder, unnoticed by Almia. They both walked following Zorka's memory from his first visit to the forest.A while later, they reached the edge of the forest."We'

    Zorka's body collapses in front of the cave entrance. His breath is labored, and he's incredibly tired. His entire body aches, from head to toe.*Splash.*A small body lies sprawled, soaking wet. Zorka flinches as cold water bites into his bones."What's this?" Zorka shouts in anger, waking up."That's nothing compared to what's coming; your training isn't over!" says Azurks, who has magically drenched Zorka's body."Oh, come on, Azurks! I just finished the training, haven't had a chance to rest or have dinner!" Zorka protests."Quit complaining!" Azurks scolds.Suddenly, Zorka's body is enveloped in a bluish light. In the blink of an eye, he disappears from the cave entrance and reappears near a cliff."Aaaargh, you foolish dragon! Why did you move me to a place like this!" Zorka yells hysterically.His body hangs on the side of the cliff, clutching onto rocks and tree roots.Azurks appears flying near Zorka, still in the form of a cat-sized dragon."Climb this cliff.

    Ants' eggs glowed with a radiant light. Subsequently, the three skins of the ant eggs broke open. Unlike regular ants that require multiple growth stages to become adults, giant ant eggs produced three ants that were already perfect in their growth and had wings.The newly born ant queens emitted a greenish light from their bodies, signifying recognition from their ant subjects."Wow, this is going to be chaotic," remarked Azurks.Zorka turned towards Azurks, not understanding. "What's going on?""Three queens were born perfectly. It's going to cause a split and could result in wars between colonies," explained Azurks."How do you know?""I've lived for thousands of years. As an unlimited-level beastmaster, my experiences in this world are incredibly diverse. These ants are an example. The presence of three queens will disrupt the balance of the ant kingdom.

    In the morning, Zorka blinked several times, surprised to find himself inside a cave. Remembering that he was soaking in the spring pond the night before, the comforting feeling from the soak made him sleepy.His hunger vanished after drinking water from the pond. He wasn't sure when Azurks moved him, but one thing for sure, he felt refreshed and his body felt fuller now. That spring water was truly magical!Zorka left the cave after putting on the clothes he had with him. The clothes he wore last night were nowhere to be seen. Maybe Azurks left them on the cliff. Besides, his clothes were torn from yesterday's training.Azurks wasn't in the cave, but there were some grilled meats ready. The meat he set aside yesterday, preserved with ice magic, had been grilled by Azurks."Azurks, where are you?" Zorka asked through telepathy."In the forest. I'm making runes to train your magic

    Zorka shared his experience in Rune earlier. He suddenly plunged into his subconscious and realized a surprising fact beyond reason."So, in other words, I actually come from this world. But my soul got split in two because of some magic. What puzzles me is why, in my old world, could I be born earlier and wait to return as an adult soul?”Azurks drew a conclusion after analyzing Zorka's story. The magic aimed at Demista was thwarted by Zorka's power when he was still in the womb. The magic's effect ended up splitting his soul, and one part was thrown into another world with a different time setting. In Zorka's alternate world, time passes faster compared to our world."So, the universe has different dimensions and parallel worlds with different dimensions and times. Your half-soul might have been thrown into a dimension where time moves faster than in this world.""But, how can my soul here di

    The rustling wind accompanies the pounding heartbeat in Zorka's chest, sensing the tension. An ominous atmosphere looms near the lair of the sword-fanged hyenas. No sounds of chirping birds or buzzing insects can be heard.Zorka occasionally scans the surroundings, just in case a hyena is watching, ready to ambush without giving a chance to evade.Zorka moves slowly towards the lair of the sword-fanged hyenas. Sounds of rustling, growling, and snapping can be heard around. From a few meters behind the trees, Zorka witnesses several sword-fanged hyenas feasting on the carcass of a thorn-backed buffalo.Not far from the group of hyenas, there's a larger sword-fanged hyena, resembling a lion with a mane around its neck. It has an oval-shaped crystal on its forehead, representing its core strength, sitting and overseeing its subordinates devouring their prey. This hyena is their leader.Its sharp yellow

    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

    To keep the presence

    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

    Venomous Axolotl Monster

    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

    The food and drinks from the dimension space.

    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

    Their dimly lit eyes

    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

    Winged Camels

    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

    The Sultanate of Azuraan

    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

    Cleaning the ship at sea.

    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
