Inigo's confession

last update Last Updated: 2024-03-19 21:26:41

Before answering Zorka's question, Inigo, lying on the soft bed, stared at the ceiling of the room. The comforting feeling of lying on the clean and comfortable mattress made him feel sad.

"I'm tired," Inigo began to speak.

"I'm tired of living on the streets. Especially having to raise those kids alone. I'm overwhelmed, Zorka. Especially when there's danger like yesterday, I couldn't protect them at all.

And with your earlier statement, I'm even more stressed. I want them to live a normal life under the care of adults. They deserve to live well."

Zorka listened. He didn't want to interrupt Inigo's words before the child finished his story.

"I also feel the burden growing heavier when we don't have money to buy food. What's worse is they need new clothes. So far, they've been wearing the same clothes without changing. They rarely even get to bathe.”

Inigo paused for a moment to take a breath. The weight on his heart lingered.

"I used to live alone without thinking about the burdens I

    Zorka glanced at Inigo's foster children. Initially, he offered them to be cared for by Uncle Burt. However, he needed to discuss his intentions with Inigo again to get permission. Besides, Uncle Burt seemed willing to take care of the five children without any objection."I've mentioned it, Uncle. That's why I need to get Inigo's approval first," said Zorka.Uncle Burt nodded in agreement. He even agreed if Inigo also wanted to live with him as his adopted son. He had no objections at all; in fact, Uncle Burt would be happy to have a companion in his home. Uncle Burt had been very lonely since his wife passed away."If Inigo agrees, he can also stay with me here. I don't mind. Let's be a family here. Since my wife passed away, I've been really lonely."Zorka looked at Inigo's foster children one by one. They were eating quietly, listening to his conversation with Uncle Burt."What about you kids? Would you like to become Uncle Burt's adopted children if Inigo agrees? Besides, Uncle B

    The surge of energy from the face-changing rune was powerful. Even Inigo's eye covered by the bandage felt the waves of its strength. The rune glowed, enveloping Inigo's entire body."Watch closely how the face-changing magic rune works!" Azurks commanded Zorka.Zorka stood behind Azurks, observing how Azurks' magic worked.The burst of magical light shot up into the sky, gathering in the middle directly above Inigo standing on the face-changing magic rune.Then, the magical light descended like rain, falling onto Inigo's body. The light spread, covering his entire body. In a short time, the light seemed to seep into Inigo's body.Inigo's face changed. The shape of his jaw, nose bone, eyebrows, lips, and even his eyes changed.The bandage covering one of his eyes opened. Inigo reflexively closed his eyes. His reddish hair changed color to golden.Inigo still kept both of his eyes closed as the magical light disappeared entirely. Zorka immediately approached Inigo, as did Azurks."Open

    For Zorka, Néos's problem was already resolved. The child just needed to obey what Uncle Burt said. Now, Zorka only needed to think about his financial issues. He had to gather money as quickly as possible and buy the clothes he needed.While Zorka was sitting comfortably on the living room sofa of Uncle Burt's house, suddenly there was a rumbling noise outside. Zorka, Néos, and Uncle Burt were startled.They heard the cries of the children who woke up in the room. Néos was about to rush into the room, but Uncle Burt beat him to it. Uncle Burt hugged the five children while comforting them."Shh. Calm down, children. Uncle is here, don't be afraid. You are safe in this house. Those monsters can't enter the house."Azurks, hearing the flapping of wings from the scavenger bird monsters, grumbled in annoyance."Inferior creatures. Gathering and making noise. Just destroy them, Zorka! Besides, their energy crystals could fetch a good price!"Hearing that, Zorka had an idea. Zorka got up f

    Zorka returned to Uncle Burt's house. In just a few hours, he managed to collect 50 life energy crystals from the carrion-eating bird monsters. One of them, the largest, belonged to the leader of the monster group.The crystals were neatly arranged on the large dining table. Uncle Burt stared at one of the largest crystals, murmuring in amazement at Zorka's catch.Meanwhile, Néos looked on in disbelief at what Zorka had accomplished."How strong are you, Zorka?" Néos asked casually.Zorka sighed, rolling his eyes."You already know how strong I am. No need to ask about it!"Néos chuckled. Despite Zorka's changed appearance and the color of his right eye, Néos's god-like vision remained the same as before."You're amazing, taking down 50 monsters all by yourself. While the guards with magical abilities in this city struggle to defeat just one monster.”"I just took advantage of the time. I really needed it. Once I get enough money and can buy new clothes to replace these torn ones, I'l

    Néos looked astonished as he received so many gold coins. The pouches, each the size of a ball, jingled as Néos and Uncle Burt carried them.Back at home, Zorka allowed Néos to pour out the contents of his pouch. With a gleaming face, Néos counted the gold coins one by one until he reached a total of ten thousand gold coins."Wow, you could buy a mansion with this much money!" exclaimed Néos."Amazing indeed. Up to ten thousand gold coins," Uncle Burt chimed in.Meanwhile, the toddlers joined in the excitement, watching Néos and Uncle Burt count Zorka's gold coins. (The toddlers already knew that Néos was Inigo after Uncle Burt explained it to them.)"I will use it to buy the necessary items to continue my journey," Zorka stated.Upon hearing Zorka's words, Uncle Burt and Néos fell silent. Only the children were noisy, staring at the gold coins stacked like towers by Néos."That means you'll be leaving soon, Zorka," Néos said sadly."Can't you stay for just a year in this house, Zorka

    Demista discovered the commotion caused by his daughter. When he returned from his duty that required him to go abroad, he was truly shocked by the destruction of the hall caused by Ellenasia."I heard that Ellenasia got furious. Her emotions flared up because her talent was hindered in front of everyone. Especially when she felt like the boy who stopped the former participant using happy flying was seen as a hero in the competition. Ellenasia couldn't stand it, so she went berserk, wrecking the training hall and injuring some servants at the Kayleigh mansion.Even though Demista loves and spoils Ellenasia, her actions this time were too much. It made Demista angry because Ellenasia is pampered but irresponsible in handling her emotions."How did she eventually stop rampaging?" Demista asked in his office.Elleanour, who came to report Ellenasia's problem, didn't expect Demista to be upset with his beloved daughter's actions."She suddenly fainted, sir. Maybe because she was too emoti

    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?

    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

    Camp

    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, eat it!

    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
