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
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer The threatened children
As he returned to the city, Zorka suddenly felt a wave of energy he recognized."Azurks, are you back?" asked Zorka.A blue swirl perched on Zorka's shoulder. A cat-sized dragon nestled playfully on his shoulder.Azurks yawned widely. He squinted at Zorka."Why? Missed me?"Zorka immediately grabbed Azurks' body and slammed it. However, the dragon just floated casually while chuckling happily."Stop your talk, Azurks, that's Disgusting!”"Hey, kid. Looks like there's progress in your coin-hunting efforts?""What progress? If it weren't for Uncle Burt's help, I might have been in jail by now!" Zorka felt annoyed by Azurks' remark."How so? Didn't your herbal plants work?"Hearing that, Zorka recounted everything that had happened while Azurks was away. From his initial encounter with Uncle Burt, then meeting Inigo and his wards, to the issue of the flesh-eating bird monsters that often came at night to prey on Sylvanvale town.What surprised Azurks even more was Inigo's heterochromia e
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer Inigo was being tortured.
The situation in the building was really not conducive. Zorka hugged the children who were crying hysterically."Azurks, please teleport me to Uncle Burt's place! You can find out where it is, right?" Azurks said."Of course, your energy trace can be a guide for me."Without waiting any longer, Azurks teleported Zorka and the five foster children of Inigo to Uncle Burt's backyard. Uncle Burt, who was gardening after Zorka left, was surprised.A dazzling blue light formed a rune. Then six figures appeared in the light. Slowly the light disappeared, and Uncle Burt fell when he realized that Zorka was among those who appeared in the blue light."Z-Zorka, how could you appear out of nowhere in that blue light?"Zorka approached Uncle Burt. Meanwhile, the five small children, their eyes swollen, all hid behind Zorka."Those kids...""These are the children I told you about, Uncle. They are Inigo's foster children," Zorka explained."My goodness, they really are still so young, they are sti
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer Saving Inigo
The man who had been torturing Inigo crawled, attempting to escape when Zorka's magic disappeared. However, his actions did not escape Zorka's sight.Zorka used ice magic to freeze the man's hands and feet, rendering him unable to move in a crawling position. When the man realized he had been ensnared by Zorka's magic, he cried out, begging to be released."Let me go! I beg you, I don't know what I did wrong to deserve this torture..."Zorka stared coldly at the man. It was pathetic how adults could resort to violence against children but couldn't stand up when faced with someone stronger."Shameful! You dragged Inigo into your mess, yet you blame him instead of protecting him as an adult," Zorka said.Approaching Inigo's prone body on the floor, Zorka checked his pulse and examined the wounds caused by the lashings.Inigo's clothes were torn, and the lash marks crisscrossed, drawing blood. Zorka clenched his teeth to contain his anger."You tortured this child simply because you were
Zorka Slavy : Rise of the Supreme Sorcerer Inigo's confession
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
