Chapter 12: Plagueborne Blessing

The descent felt like slipping through a wound in the world. The air thickened with each step, the stone stairway stretching endlessly downward, twisting into the underbelly of the city like a spine carved from ash and memory. The old man shuffled ahead, his voice barely a whisper against the hum of unseen engines somewhere deep below. Kael followed, eyes tracing the flicker of faint light blooming through cracks in the rock, the pulse of something that wasn’t

  • C213: Trial of Pain

    Healing SystemC213: Trial of PainKael’s voice tore through the oppressive silence like a jagged blade, raw and laced with fury as every fiber of his body screamed in protest, the searing agony of uncontrolled mana wrapping around his nerves with a suffocating grip that made even his iron-clad pain resistance quiver, making him stagger in place, clutching his chest, trying to anchor himself against the storm raging within.System, what the fuck, Kael shouted, teeth gritted, every word trembling with frustration as the chaos of Dioki inside him threatened to burst from his skin and shatter the very air, each pulse a hammering reminder of the dangerous force simmering just beneath his control, yet the only response he received was that maddeningly calm, disturbingly indifferent voice that echoed within his consciousness, I am working on it, you anomaly, be quiet.He groaned, muscles taut and mind screaming against the relentless surge, trying despe

  • C212: Golden Mirage

    Healing System – Rewrite DirectiveC212: Golden MirageIt took more than a few minutes of cautious stepping and measured breaths to finally reach what appeared to be the terminus of the labyrinthine cavern, a destination that seemed simultaneously inevitable and impossibly distant. Each step carried with it a growing tension, a subtle tightening in Kael’s chest as if the very air itself conspired to throttle his nerves, while the mana that thickened the atmosphere around him began to pulse with such density that hallucinations danced at the edge of his perception. At first, they were fleeting, abstract flares in the corner of his vision, but the instances multiplied, and soon golden eyes of varying sizes flickered into existence across the walls, on the ceiling, and even beneath his feet, each blink and flutter seeming to mock his attempts to remain grounded in reality.Eventually, all of the flickering eyes coalesced into a single, impossibly massive gaze

  • C211 Trial of the Golden Dragon Sect (15)

    Healing SystemC211 Trial of the Golden Dragon Sect (15)This cannot be right Kael muttered under his breath, a wry, fractured smile tugging at the corners of his lips as he surveyed the landscape before him, expecting something grand, something monumental, yet confronted with the ruin of what had once been pristine, the forest now an inferno of black fire licking at the sky, the mountain half-collapsed, jagged stone jutting like broken teeth.The flames were no ordinary conflagration, their shape and form betraying the presence of mana, pulsing with the kind of raw energy that drakes themselves could conjure, yet amplified to a degree that made even Kael’s practiced senses tingle with unease. The color was the most disconcerting aspect, black, as though the fire itself had absorbed all light and spat back only darkness, twisting the forest into a nightmarish landscape of chaos.Kael squinted, analyzing the inferno, noting the way it surged upward

  • C210 — Dragon Threads

    C210 — Dragon Threads[Kael’s POV]453 percent… 459 percent… 460 percent. Each number blinked like a cruel heartbeat across his vision as Kael exhaled, the sound rasping with exhaustion, tension, and the faint trace of disbelief that such an endeavor could even be possible. The so-called healing had stretched him beyond the limits of patience and skill, demanding precision that bordered on the absurd. The deeper he delved, the more the clots resisted, as if they had developed some kind of sentient will to stubbornly cling to the dragon’s corrupted flesh. Each one was a knot in the universe, a miniature rebellion against the very notion of repair. Sweat dripped into his eyes, mingling with the residual mana sparks dancing across his palms, leaving him momentarily blinded and trembling, but finally, finally, it was done.The dragon in its human-shaped form sprawled across the cold stone, chest rising and falling in slow, measured breaths, the air around it t

  • C209 Krear’s Awakening

    C209 Krear’s Awakening C209 Krear’s Awakening Kael’s gaze locked onto the strongest among the drakes assembled before him, his eyes narrowing with the kind of resolute intensity that only comes from knowing exactly what he wants and refusing to be denied. He extended his hand, pointing directly at the imposing creature, and spoke with a tone that was calm but threaded with unwavering command, “Take me with you.” For a moment, hesitation rippled across the group, a subtle but perceptible shiver of uncertainty that passed from one drake to another. Their eyes flickered nervously, glancing between each other as if silently debating whether to obey or flee. Yet when they turned back to Kael, the tension in their posture melted into reluctant acceptance. A collective exhale seemed to pass through the drakes, a silent acknowledgment of the inevitability of his will. “Very well…” the strongest drake rumble

  • C208: Judgment

    C208: JudgmentThe colors around Kael shivered, twisting as if the air itself were liquid, and then finally, with a snap of clarity that struck his senses like the cold edge of a blade, the world solidified into something that looked like reality—yet, simultaneously, not. His eyes widened instinctively as they scanned the scene, taking in jagged mountains that rose like broken teeth from the earth, their shadows stretching impossibly long, brushing against forests so dense their roots and foliage merged into a single, pulsating mass. It was reminiscent of the landscapes he had first encountered upon arriving in the Murim world, yet something in its arrangement was… off. The air smelled faintly of ozone and scorched metal, hints of strange machinery littered among the underbrush, rusted and enigmatic, like relics of a civilization long lost yet impossibly alive in the hum of residual energy.He flexed his wings experimentally, feeling the lift of his muscles and the
