Demista found Ellenasia still lying in her bed. When he entered her room, she was lying on her stomach. Demista sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed Ellenasia's shoulder.The girl's body twitched slightly. Slowly, she turned around and saw that it was Demista touching her."Papa," Ellenasia said. Her lips trembled, her eyes were swollen from crying continuously after waking up.Demista hugged Ellenasia affectionately, gently stroking her back."Shhh, calm down, sweetheart. Everything's okay." Demista tried to comfort Ellenasia gently.Ellenasia's tears burst out again. She wailed loudly, the cries of a spoiled child that would make others sick to hear. But Demista patiently responded to Ellenasia's precious tears."I can't accept it, Papa! Why couldn't I show my talent in the competition? Why doesn't anyone look at me as the child of a great sorcerer who is so important in all countries?" she whined."If I had been the one to save the competition committee at that time, I would have
The ship from Hexonia sailed towards the snowy land. As they crossed the icy sea, Seraphina ordered Aurelius to destroy the floating ice blocking their path.Aurelius used earth magic to shape a giant stone ax at the bow of the ship, smashing through the ice. Seraphina didn't ask for help from their teammate with basic fire magic because it could disrupt the marine ecosystem."Why are we here, Lady Seraphina?" Zephyra asked as she watched Aurelius using his magic.She shivered, clutching her fur cloak tightly. Her teeth chattered, trying to fend off the biting cold that penetrated her skin to the bone."This place is so cold," she said, her breath visible as it turned into vapor.Seraphina, a woman of few words, gazed ahead. But she still answered Zephyra's question."I'm looking for someone who can help us track down Azurks. However, with my arrival here, I must be able to restrain myself from dwelling on the past events of my life."Zephyra's eyes widened."Ah, Lady Seraphina comes
Seraphina rode his horse towards the city of Glassglow, his hometown. Heavy snow accompanied Seraphina's journey. Fortunately, Seraphina's horse was a creature with basic fire elemental magic energy. Thus, Seraphina's journey was not disrupted by the snow piling up on the road to the city of Glassglow.The cold face of the golden-haired man blended seamlessly with the snowy landscape. Seraphina looked like a handsome elf riding a magical horse. Seraphina's horse had a high level of magic. Every step it took produced fire that melted the ice and snow, clearing the path blocked by thick snow.It took several days of travel from the port to the city of Glassglow. If Seraphina had used an ordinary horse, it would have taken a month to reach the city. Luckily, Seraphina kept several fire horses at his residence. And one of them he always brought for transportation purposes.After a few dozen meters, Seraphina saw the gate of the city of Glassglow. The city gate was covered in ice. When he
"Merysa never loved you, Seraphina. That's why she cast the body merging curse. She sacrificed herself when you defiled her. So you have two bodies within one soul. Merysa sacrificed herself so her soul could be freed from the suffering you caused!" Marshall's voice trembled.Seraphina widened his eyes. He couldn't accept Marshall's words because what Seraphina felt was excruciating pain after his father disowned him and his mother committed suicide using poison from Marshall. Desperately, Seraphina didn't receive support from his environment. Instead, he was bullied for being an unwanted child.The bullying from around him wasn't just verbal but had escalated to physical acts. Seraphina always fell victim to pranks that left his body bruised.Only when he became Marshall's student, recommended by his late mother who entrusted him to Marshall.Seraphina was an exceptionally talented student. He could master magic with just one instruction from Marshall. In fact, Seraphina could advanc
Marshall, aware of Seraphina's betrayal in saving King Eldermyst who stole the Eternal Ice Crystal, was deeply disappointed. He ultimately sacrificed himself to imprison the crystal with his own life force, leaving behind a trace of his soul to guard it, which Seraphina now seeks alongside the potion to suppress their transformations."You've come here only to reopen old wounds, Seraphina," Marshall seemed to resist Seraphina's intentions."Shut up, old bastard. None of this would've happened if Merysa had just accepted my love and not married that rotten nobleman!" Seraphina erupted with fury. A look of vengeance flashed in their eyes."Even if you refuse to give me the potion I seek, that's not a problem. But if you won't hand over the crystal, then I'll take it by force. I already know how to break the seal of protection around it!"Marshall's expression remained stoic. He simply closed his eyes as if resigned."It's up to you, Seraphina. This was all expected. Do as you wish. But
Arcanumia, a lush country with plenty of forests and mountains teeming with animals and monsters. The country is home to many powerful sorcerers, including Renata and Demista, a couple of top-notch sorcerers residing in Pearlyan, Arcanumia's city, in the Kayleigh Mansion.It was almost winter as autumn was fading away. Arcanumia organized a sorcerer competition, inspired by an event in Prabhutpura.Demista, a noble sorcerer, had a crucial meeting with sorcerer leaders worldwide. They decided to hold this competition to replace the failed one in Prabhutpura.Demista's aim was to boost Arcanumia's reputation globally. However, he had hidden intentions behind this competition.Meanwhile, Zorka and Azurks ventured to the country where Zorka was born. Zorka, a boy, felt nothing as he set foot on his homeland once again. It had been a year since he left Arcanumia. Now, his body had grown tall and sturdy, unlike when he was reborn. "Do you recognize this country, Zorka?" asked Azurks.Zorka
The competition registration site was set up in the town square. Zorka approached the place, the atmosphere bustling with activity. Just like in Prabhutpura, there were long lines of applicants here too."There are so many applicants this time," remarked Zorka, waiting in line."There are still 50 more people to go before reaching the registration spot.""Are you sure you want to participate?" Azurks asked telepathically."Yes, I have to participate. Especially since the reward for the winner is that all wishes can be granted by the committee and judges overseeing the competition," Zorka explained."What if you confront Demista, Zorka? After all, he's hailed as the initiator of the competition in this country," Azurks asked."That's what I'm hoping for!" Zorka replied firmly.Azurks shook his head. He didn't doubt Zorka's courage. However, at this point, Zorka wasn't ready to confront Demista. Especially since Zorka's strength still needed perfecting. Although his physical strength an
The first day is the preliminary round or the first round. Unlike in Prabhutpura, the preliminary round is divided into three parts.The first part is the level check. Zorka breezed through because the first requirement to enter the preliminary round is to be at the level of a beginner king, and Zorka has leveled up twice.The second round is the magic strength level. Again, Zorka made it through. The magic strength gauge showed that Zorka's strength is far above average. It's even said that his power is almost reaching a higher level.The committee members witnessing the significant change in the gauge could only shake their heads. They were stunned by the power of a 10-year-old, but his strength almost matched that of a grand sorcerer.What's even more astonishing to the committee is Zorka's name, which some of them feel they recognize."Zorka? Zorka Slavy. This name..." one committee member exclaimed upon reading the participant's name on the paper."If I'm not mistaken, this name
