......I followed the instructions, drawing energy from within my body. I could feel it flowing like blood in my veins, gathering around my heart.The energy radiated from my fingers and traveled through my sister's forehead, directly to her heart."Mmmnn, Brother, I feel warm, the pain is gone. What did you do, brother?" After a little while, my sister left my embrace, looking at me with happiness and excitement."I'm glad you feel better. From now on, you won't feel pain, and I promise you'll be completely cured in a few days!" I smiled at her, though inside, I felt upset as the holographic screen showed a similar condition as before with only minor changes.[She has eased her breathing, reduced her pain, and stabilized her condition. This would offer a temporary respite while she awaits a heart transplant.[Note: You need to awaken your divine powers if you want to fully cure your sister.]'So, my divine powers still need to be awakened, but how can I do that?' I pondered, glancing at the hint provided at the bottom.Just as I was wondering, the holographic screen changed to reveal what I really wanted to know.[Stage 1: Novice Healer - Healing Count Required: 10 people - After healing 10 people, you will awaken your divine powers, and become a Novice Healer.]'Huh, I need to treat ten people before I awaken my divine power,' I was genuinely surprised to see "Stage 1" mentioned there."My dear sister, take a little rest while I have a chat with the doctors, alright!" I wanted to give my sister some time to rest while I'll try to buy some time for both of us."Okay, brother, hehe!" She smiled and lay down to rest as I left her room.I couldn't just approach patients and claim I could heal them with magical abilities. No one would believe me, so I needed to come up with a plan.(Aarav Pov End))......"Hello, Dr. Chambers! I'm here to apologize and request some more time. I'll definitely pay the fee by the end of the day," Aarav entered Dr. Ethan Chambers' office and immediately bowed as he apologized."Oh, Mr. Veridian! Don't worry about the fee; someone has already covered it," Dr. Ethan looked up to see who had interrupted him and, upon recognizing the person, said it softly."Huh, paid by who?" Aarav looked confused."Yes, it was Ms. Rossi," Dr. Ethan replied."Oh, it's Elara," Aarav was surprised to hear Elara's name.He had never expected that she would end up paying for his sister's medical bills after she had declined to lend him money."Thank you, Dr. Chambers, for always taking care of my sister. I'm truly very grateful for it," Aarav expressed his gratitude to the doctor who often looked after his sister in his absence."Well, I suppose she found it convenient to throw some crumbs your way. It's quite amusing how your fate is in the hands of those who see you as nothing more than a burden," Dr. Ethan chuckled, turning Aarav's gratitude into a bitter realization, leaving him with a heavy heart.Though sympathy lingered for the brother and sister, Dr. Ethan knew there was little more he could do for them.He could only hope that this young man could carry on with his life without his sister. Dr. Ethan had no idea that Aarav already found a way to treat his sister."Actually, Dr. Ethan, I want to take my sister home. I can't bear the thought of her spending her last moments in the hospital. So, I'd like you to help me with her discharge," Aarav spoke sincerely, and Dr. Ethan agreed to assist with the discharge.Dr. Ethan wrote up the discharge papers, signed them, and handed them to Aarav, who accepted them with a final bow before leaving the doctor's office.Aarav went to the hospital's reception to complete the remaining discharge process.Afterward, he hurried to a clothing store and picked up some stylish yet affordable clothes for his sister."Aria, come on! We're going home!" Aarav returned to his sister's hospital room and gently tried to wake her."Hmmn, brother!" Aria Veridian woke up when she heard him call her."Yes, it's me. Wake up, I managed to get you discharged from the hospital today, and now we can go back home!" Aarav said as he lovingly stroked her hair."Really!" Aria's eyes brightened at the news of her discharge, and she became wide awake."Yes, really. Now get ready. I bought something that should fit you!" Aarav nodded and smiled, pleased to see his sister happy. He handed her the clothes he had bought for her to change into.She had been wearing hospital clothing until now. Aarav left her room after handing her the bag."I'm ready, Brother!" A few minutes later, her sister's voice came from inside."Oh, you look great! Now let's get out of here. You can walk, right? If you feel uncomfortable, I can always carry you!" Aarav re-entered and complimented her while also asking if she felt fine standing up."I can walk, Brother. But if I don't feel well, you can carry me!" Aria replied as she mischievously hugged one of his arms, eager to leave the hospital."Alright then, let's go!" Aarav nodded and smiled at her before leaving the hospital with Aria.They walked quietly for a while until Aria started feeling uncomfortable, so Aarav carried her on his back."Now, are you really feeling okay? I'm still worried about your condition," Aarav asked, concerned that her health might worsen."No...brother, don't worry, I'm fine!" Aria shook her head and reassured her brother that she was doing well.Aarav continued to walk for a few more miles until they reached a quiet neighborhood and arrived near a simple and somewhat old house.It was a small two-story building with one bedroom and an attic above, while the ground floor featured a kitchen, bathroom, washroom, and a small dining room.This was the house their parents had left behind after passing away, and Aarav had inherited it.As Aarav entered their modest home, memories flooded his mind—the laughter that once echoed through these walls, the warmth of family dinners, and the dreams they had shared.Now, the silence hung heavy, and the emptiness of the rooms mirrored the void in Aarav's heart.Before Aria fell ill, she had been living here along with him, and Aarav would visit her every night and leave in the morning to work part-time while also attending the University.............

330. Getting Ambushed Right After Landing
............Just as Aarav and Marcus took the lead to enter the center of the Sylvanus Domain, on another side from them, another fifty large ships came to a stop."My Lady, we have arrived. The coast is clear; we will search the perimeter while the others disembark the ships," a few men reported before they got down, immediately stepping down from the ship to start searching around the area for any danger."Emilia, are you alright... we should take a little rest. If the area is clear of any danger, then we can meet up with Mr. Aarav and Mr. Marcus," Aria asked first, pressing her hand on Emilia's shoulder before suggesting they look at the clear coast to avoid any kind of danger."It's alright, and it's not like you haven't exerted yourself either. As for rest, we do need to consider it looking at everyone's condition," Emilia shook her head, smiling back at Aria, who was also sweating a little from the exertion of energy.Aria observed their men's condition and found that most of
329. Landing on the Orion Domain
............From the center ship, Aarav watched the chaos ahead and squinted his eyes as he noticed something on the sea creatures.His eyes glowed with a faint, divine light as his newly refined fourth-stage perception mapped out the battlefield. He could see exactly where the warriors' muscles were tearing from the heavy impacts and how the sea monsters were getting mopped back into the sea.In all the sea monsters, he noticed that same disgusting and foul energy coming from their bodies which he had seen during the last fight against Sylvanus's men.Just then, a massive, sperm-whale-like beast breached right in front of Aarav’s ship, its shadow looming over the deck. It opened its cavernous mouth, preparing to swallow the front of the ship whole."You really picked the wrong opponent," Aarav muttered, and was about to unleash his newly developed attack, but someone beat him to it.Aarav didn't have the brute physical strength of the warriors, but his control over his divine heali
328. Reaching Orion's Domain
............After two weeks of traveling on the sea, the Orion Warriors finally neared their destination."My Lord, we see Sylvanus' Domain up ahead!" Grandel shouted with an excited expression toward their Lord Marcus, who was sitting comfortably on the deck while munching on a large fish which they had caught not long ago.He have some refined taste, eating the fish after frying it over an open fire at a high temperature."Oh... have we arrived already?" Marcus looked up and muttered, hearing Grandel's shout he got up before throwing away the half-eaten fish.The journey was quite uneventful most of the time but they did came across some troublesome sea creatures, which was quickly handled by the True Warriors.Marcus occasionally oversaw the training of his warriors, even though they were on the ship surrounded by the sea but cause of Aarav atleast they avoided getting injured.Beside treating training manics, Aarav was, almost all the time, meditated on the deck of another ship,
327. Orion Domain Warriors
............"Nothing much. It's just that our Lord Marcus organizes sparring matches for competitive purposes from time to time, and these kinds of injuries are common here," Grandel explained, scratching his head. He didn't know that Aarav was quite surprised to hear the calm tone in his voice, wondering if broken bones and tendons were considered common here, what a serious injury might be.Shaking his head to clear those unnecessary thoughts, he started to treat them one by one.But after treating just a few men, he felt it wasn't efficient enough, so he started using an area-of-effect heal to deal with a large number of people in less time. Even though it took a large amount of energy out of him, it needed to be done to save time.Half a day later, he had healed everyone before asking Grandel to lead him to the next location."Yes, Lord! As you asked previously, I relayed your orders to my subordinates and they have efficiently executed them. We only need to reach the next locat
326. Getting Marcus to Join
............The Lioness City was also known as the border guardian city of the Orion Domain, much like Quartzgate in the northern part of Elandor's Domain.Just as Aarav and the True Warrior Order arrived near the city, they were greeted by a massive, 50-meter-tall wall surrounding the area, with a huge gate where people were entering and exiting.Grandel took the lead, saying a few words to the guards which allowed them to pass uninterrupted into the city."Hmmn, it sure is lively," Aarav commented, looking at the passing people who were busy preparing for the upcoming feast."Today is a big event, as Lord Marcus has organized a massive feast in order to welcome you, Lord," Grandel said, gesturing for him to follow along.Looking at most of the men and even women he encountered on the street along the way, Aarav was quite surprised to see that their physiques were so burly.When he observed their bodies a bit closer, he understood why that was.Almost all people in the Orion Domain
325. Leander Leo
............"Clash...!!""What... What's going on...!!" they hurriedly opened the door and entered the cottage, asking in anxious voices."Huh... you are...!!" Just as they entered rudely without informing the owner, the owner—an old man with golden hair, a healthy complexion, and bright eyes—stared back at them in confusion.Leander Leo, Patriarch of the Leo family, wondered who these people were, as he felt a slightly familiar presence from them."Ahh... our apologies, Patriarch Leo. We are the True Warrior Order, who serve the Lord Heir. And I am Grandel, Chief of these men. Once again, we apologize for disturbing your family outing, but we were given a specific task from Lord Marcus himself." The burly man stepped forward and bowed in apology together with his men before he introduced himself and explained why they were disturbing them."Oh... I remember you, Chief Grandel. No need to apologize; it was my fault for reacting like that, which alerted you guys. Please be at ease; y
