2024-03-07 01:04:21A week has passed in the dimensional space. Zorka's small body is showing improvements in his magical powers' foundation. He's growing, muscles forming over the bones once visible beneath his skin.
Zorka's inherently handsome face is now more distinct. His blue eyes are clear and sharp. He's accustomed to intense physical training alongside honing his magical abilities.Azurks brings Zorka outside, leading him to a bustling market. The ten-year-old wonders, "Why are we in the market?" communicating telepathically to avoid looking crazy talking to the invisible Azurks."We're shopping, of course. Still got money?" Azurks asks."Some left. What are we buying? We still have plenty of the food we got a while back." Zorka walks through the market aisles, curious."Heh, kid. Look at your clothes now. Your top's torn, and your pants are too short. Even your spare outfit is in bad shape. Didn't notice your body's grown fast compared to before?" <

Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer The house's yard is filled with medicinal plants.
Zorka is currently bewildered. He won't be able to afford the inn rent due to a shortage of money. Selling medicinal plants seems impossible with the unwritten ban imposed by the mayor. Even his magical skills are of little use since only the guards utilize magic."Here, sorcerers aren't much appreciated, as most folks are just ordinary people without magical talents," Uncle Burt explains to Zorka."I shouldn't have asked Azurks to drop me off in this market," Zorka recalls the forest moment after picking medicinal plants. The dragon had granted him permission to hunt for food. If he hadn't hurriedly agreed to Azurks' wish, Zorka might have asked to be moved to another town or a place more conducive to magic and medicinal herbs.Unbeknownst to Zorka, Uncle Burt observes the change in his expression – a face filled with disappointment and seemingly devoid of hope. Inevitably, Uncle Burt feels pity for the young boy who has just stepped into Sylvanvale.

Before the sunrise, Zorka was already awake. He cleaned Uncle Burt's house and washed the dishes and cooking utensils that Uncle Burt had left dirty the night before. Uncle Burt, tired from the day, went straight to bed without cleaning up. So, Zorka took the initiative to clean up, not wanting to burden Uncle Burt since he had kindly offered him a place to stay.In addition, Zorka toasted bread, made sunny-side-up eggs and bacon, and squeezed orange juice. When Uncle Burt woke up, he seemed surprised by Zorka's actions."Oh, boy, you shouldn't have done this. I should be the one doing it since you're a guest here," said Uncle Burt.Zorka smiled."Don't worry, uncle. This is my way of thanking you for letting me stay. Last night, I saw a scavenger bird monster flying over your roof. I was lucky to meet you; if you hadn't invited me to stay, and I had to sleep outside, I might have been attacked by that bird monster."Uncle Burt nodded app

After the commotion settled in the market, Zorka was lost in thought for a moment. He was certain that the boy who became the target of the market guards had smiled at him, as if acknowledging that Zorka had protected him using the protective rune in the form of a transparent bubble.However, he soon snapped out of it, captivated by the laughter of the two adults who had helped him yesterday. Especially Uncle Burt, who looked pleased because most of his merchandise had sold out. Only some low-quality fabric remained, unsuitable for clothing."Wow, wow, you're really lucky this time, Burt. Despite the unpleasant incident earlier, your goods sold well, leaving only the low-quality fabric," Tom praised.Burt laughed; indeed, it was his lucky day. His merchandise, which usually took months to sell out, was gone in a single day."Maybe it's because of Zorka. I've never been able to sell fabric in such large quantities before. There's no special day, ye
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer The reason why the carcass-eating bird monsters have appeared.
Inigo looked at the copper coins in his palm, surprised that Zorka had noticed. Zorka seemed to understand that he was selling medicinal plants to support other children who shared a similar fate—discarded and abandoned by their own parents.Especially Inigo, considered strange even by his own family. He was expelled by both of his parents because he was deemed a child cursed by the gods. Even though he could see the magical energy of someone and even see wandering spirits, the stigma of being a cursed child stuck with him."Inigo..." a small-cheeked girl named Shendy gazed sadly at Inigo.The tiny hand of the little girl stroked Inigo's arm. The other kids looked at Inigo with concern.Seeing the worry in the eyes of the kids he cared for, Inigo realized that it wasn't the time for him to be lost in thought. That day, he had failed to sell an order of medicinal plants, but someone new in Sylvanvale, someone around his age, came to his aid and pro
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer A fate shared with Zorka.
Zorka couldn't sleep all night. The innocent faces peering at him from the abandoned building haunted his mind."Oh, shit!" Zorka cursed. "Facing kids really messes with my head! And that selfish dragon is still unreachable!"Uncle Burt, who had just come out of his room, was startled by Zorka's outburst. Finding Zorka in the kitchen preparing breakfast, he tried to calm him."Woo, woo, boy. Careful with your curses!" Uncle Burt chuckled, attempting to ease Zorka.Zorka was slightly startled, not realizing Uncle Burt's presence that morning. Accidentally swearing and being caught made him blush, his face turning crimson."Hahaha, boy. Looks like you had a rough night, huh? Bad dreams?" Uncle Burt asked.Suddenly, Uncle Burt noticed dark bags under Zorka's eyes, and his eyeballs were reddened."You couldn't sleep, lad? What's wrong?" Uncle Burt asked, growing concerned."Ah, last night, I couldn't sleep, Uncle. T
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer The facts explained by Inigo
Zorka reluctantly left the children. Before leaving, he intentionally inscribed a protective rune on the empty building. As long as the children stayed within, they would be safe from the attacks of the corpse-eating bird monsters.He roamed the city in search of Inigo, recalling the market. Zorka intentionally wandered through the market to find Inigo. He found the boy in an alley in conversation with someone behind a building wall. From a distance, it seemed Inigo was talking to an adult, as he conversed while tilting his head upward. After a few minutes, Zorka witnessed Inigo being assaulted by the adult wearing a market guard uniform.Zorka reacted immediately, but Inigo shouted, "Don't come closer! Don't interfere with my affairs, and don't use magic, or you'll be in danger!"Inigo's warning made the guard turn towards Zorka's direction. Zorka realized it and quickly hid behind the wall at the other end of the alley."You cursed kid

"Drugs? Is that guard using drugs?" Zorka asked, surprised that Inigo would take on such a risky job.Inigo looked down, feeling ashamed of his decision. Honestly, he hated doing this kind of work. But with five kids to support, he needed the money. He was willing to do any job as long as it meant his kids could thrive."You're not just risking your life, but you're putting those little kids in danger, Inigo!" Zorka exclaimed angrily.Inigo remained silent, not offering any response. Making excuses would only complicate things further."I'll repeat my question! Inigo, is that market guard using drugs?" Zorka asked, repeating his question.This time, Inigo looked directly into Zorka's eyes and responded firmly."No, the guard is making drugs to sell. The prices are pretty high. I've made some money helping him out a few times."Smack.Zorka slapped Inigo hard."You're such an idiot!" Zorka yelled. "Can't you find a better job than selling drug materials? It's heartless to feed them wit
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer Uncle Burt agrees!
"If that's the case, have you ever visited an orphanage to have them taken care of by people from the foundation?""No, I would never step into an orphanage like that. Let alone entrust the children to a place like that. One of my foster children was once placed there by their parents. In the orphanage, they experienced many terrible things. The caretakers abused disobedient children with whips, punished them with confinement, deprived them of food, and other horrifying things. So, my foster child ran away because they couldn't endure the violence they faced, especially since they were under five years old.”Zorka fell silent now. But suddenly, he remembered Uncle Burt. He who lived alone, always missing his late wife. Zorka felt that Uncle Burt was actually very lonely. Especially when he asked Zorka to become his adopted child."I think I have an idea," he said, "but I have to ask first if he's willing to accept you all?”"Why ask first?" Inigo asked."I'm afraid he might reject you

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

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

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

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
