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
The sun's rays hit the face of a 10-year-old kid who slowly opened his eyes, surprised to find himself in the middle of the forest. Thump. A burning sensation pierces Zorka's chest as he collapses to the ground. "Oh God, what's happening? Why am I alive again?" Zorka mutters, groaning in pain. Memories flood into Zorka's new body, bringing impactful recollections. The name carried by his body is the same, 10 years old, born to the magical couple Demista and Renata. His parents are powerful wizards. However, Zorka didn't inherit any magic at all. His small body carries the poison of a fire flower that poisoned his heart, leading to a tragic death. At the same time, Zorka comes from another world, hit by a truck on his way home. A 25-year-old man, a healer and poison expert, thought his soul was heading to the afterlife. Instead, he's reborn into the unfortunate kid's body. The last memory of the kid before dying was his abduction by shadow forces, orchestrated by his own father
Zorka walks through the forest, his eyes scanning for something elusive – the Shadow Root. In his previous world, the Shadow Root was his antidote for the venom of the fire flower. He once dealt with a case involving a mafia boss poisoned by that same flower's venom. By studying symptoms and the venom's effects, Zorka found the remedy. Luck struck when he realized similarities between the poisons and antidotes in both worlds. As Zorka tries to recall where the Shadow Root usually grows, he mutters to himself, "Let me think. It likes mossy places, avoids the sun, and hangs out near snake nests." Thinking about snake nests gives Zorka the shivers. He fears encountering a massive, ferocious serpent – a stark contrast to facing a two-headed wolf monster. But fortune smiles on Zorka. Spotting a large moss-covered tree, he finds a snake nest. The small hole assures him it's not a monster. Nearby, a dark-colored plant with sharp leaves and a ginger-like scent catches his eye. Carefu
Mansion Kayleigh. The house of the powerful wizard couple, Demista and Renata.Two shadowy figures faced Demista in the dark of night."The mission's done, Master. We've disposed of the child in Sorgindua," reported one of them."Chances are he's dead by now. The fire blossom poison must have wrecked his heart."Demista, seated in his study, remained silent. He opened his desk drawer, took two pouches of gold coins, and tossed them to his two shadowy soldiers."Good job. But in the future, don't appear in front of Renata. She probably already knows what you've been up to.”And it turns out, what Demista said was true. Renata, locked in the tower, went berserk."You bastard, Demista! Where is my son, Zorka?"Renata unleashed her lightning-infused magic, creating an electric storm in the tower. Unfortunately, Renata's magic couldn't break the barrier Demista created to imprison her.The thunderous sound sent shivers down the spines of those residing in Mansion Kayleigh. They couldn't fa
Meanwhile, the wooden cart pulling a wagon of children moved at a moderate speed. Zorka couldn't sleep all night.The rattling wheels crossing the rocky road shook the small bodies inside the wagon. Suddenly, the cart stopped.Slam!The wagon door opened roughly. A bald man opened the door. Behind him, a middle-aged man was seen starting a bonfire."Hey, kids, wake up!" Hogs barked."Tsk, Hogs. Don't be rough on them. You'll only make them scared," said the man who lit the bonfire."Hurry up, Wellder. Those kids need to get ready now," Hogs replied sharply.Wellder chuckled at Hogs' attitude. "Take it easy; the slave auction is tonight. We've got plenty of time. Treat them well, Hogs. Don't let them get hurt; it reduces their resale value."This time, Hogs growled. "Yeah, yeah... I get it, old man. Now, where are their spare clothes? They need to clean up in the river so they're not all stinky.""Just look behind the wagon. I'll prepare breakfast for them. It could be risky if they ge
Venomcoil noticed something. None of the kids dared to admit it, except for one child who, from the beginning, had caught his attention by keeping a distance from the others.It was Zorka. Venomcoil directly stared at Zorka, who was startled upon realizing that Venomcoil seemed to suspect him.Venomcoil slithered, moving closer to Zorka. Unconsciously, Zorka stepped back. Although impressed by the beastmaster, he couldn't escape his fear of the giant reptile.Honestly, at that moment, Zorka panicked.The snake approached Zorka. Its head, initially upright, now leaned towards him. It extended its forked tongue.Zorka's eyes showed fear. He hoped that the river water he used to clean his body would remove the scent of his poison.Venomcoil suddenly raised its head, forming an "S" with its neck."This human child is the owner of the poison!" Venomcoil shouted.Hogs, who was interrogating other kids, was distracted by Venomcoil. He saw a thin, messy-haired child being threatened by the sna
Zorka was shocked witnessing the death of the level two beastmaster snake. Its body dried up and turned into ashes. Then, a rumbling sound echoed in the cave, startling Zorka.His body trembled uncontrollably, and his teeth chattered loudly. Meanwhile, from the stone shaped like a dragon's head, a bluish light emanated."Groar, not enough! Low-level monster energy can't break this curse!"A heavy, furious voice resonated, making Zorka's heart race. Sweat covered his body, even though the air in the cave was icy. "Wh-who is it?" Zorka suddenly retorted, strengthening his resolve to inquire of the figure speaking.Hearing the voice of a child responding, the voice chuckled."Ah, I seem to have forgotten about this little creature.”Zorka was startled to hear the voice calling him. Something emerged from the dragon head statue. A transparent dragon spirit revealed itself.Seeing this, Zorka crawled backward and curled up, crossing his arms in front of his face."Dra-dragon! Please don't
The explosion destroyed the cave where Azurks was cursed. Earlier, Azurks instinctively wrapped Zorka's body in a protective bubble spell, shielding the kid from the cave debris.Meanwhile, Hogs, now conscious and being treated by Wellder, was shocked. The kids screamed in fear. A sudden earthquake hit the valley, accompanied by explosions, rocks, and soil scattering.What was even more terrifying was the rumbling growl followed by the emergence of a blue crystal dragon wriggling out from the river and the shattered ground.Azurks's shimmering scales glint under the sunlight. Zorka, floating within a magical bubble, looks amazed witnessing the valley destroyed by Azurks' emergence.Meanwhile, Wellder and Hogs tremble, collapsing in fear. The kidnapped kids, terrified, faint."What creature is that?" shouts Wellder, hugging Hogs.Hogs, wide-eyed, can't utter a word. His body shakes, and his teeth chatter from the fear felt by Wellder.Roaaar.Azurks roars."At last, I'm free!”Zorka sc
