The First Test
CRAAAK...The stone door slowly closed behind him. The scraping sound echoed until it completely disappeared. Kaelan turned to the wall, tight, no gaps, no handle. He pushed with all his strength but it didn’t budge.“There’s really no way back.” He lowered his hands, breathing short. “The old man said I would go in alone. That means I have to rely on myself.”He turned to face the long corridor bathed in faint blue light from the crystals on the quiet walls, dark at the far end.Kaelan took a slow step, then another. At first, it was normal until his body suddenly felt heavy.“What…” His chest tightened. He tried to flow his empty spiritual energy. As usual, yet the pressure here was different, pressing from all directions, stronger the further he stepped. He hastened his pace.BOOM!His knees hit the floor.“Argh!” He propped himself up with both hands, breath racing. “No enemies,”Is there no trap here?He got up, his legs trembling, then fell again. Repeatedly trying, repeatedly be
Blood that shouldn't exist
"Finally... the blood came back."The Voice of the Tomb keeper echoed filling the ancient stone room. Kaelan was still standing transfixed, staring at the gigantic creature that was now kneeling low before him the creature that a moment before had almost taken his life."What do you mean?"his voice sounded quiet and trembling. "What blood do you mean?"The creature's golden eyes stared straight at him. "Your blood.""Why are you kneeling? Why treat me like this?"There was silence for a moment and then the heavy voice came back."Because you are a sealed descendant."Kaelan froze in place. "Descendants... which is sealed?"The old man behind him instantly squinted, his hands clutching his wine jug tightly. "Repeat once more.""Sealed descent," repeated the Tomb Guard.The old man nodded slowly, his breathing heavy. "I knew from the beginning."Kaelan immediately turned to face him. "You know something? All this time, you know?!""I just have a guess.""Guess?!"Kaelan stepped closer,
The Grave Keeper
Grrrrrr...A low growl echoed from behind the ancient stone gate, making the ground beneath Kaelan's feet tremble slightly from the thick darkness, a pair of golden eyes slowly igniting, staring sharply straight at him.Kaelan swallowed. His heart raced so fast it felt like it was in his throat."What... is that?"The old man beside him remained silent, his face usually relaxed and full of a mocking smile now completely serious."Don't move," he whispered softly but firmly."Why?""Because if you move now..." The old man gripped his jug of wine tightly until his knuckles turned white. "I'm not sure I would still have the time to save you."The sound of heavy chains clanging could be heard from within the darkness.Klang... klang... klang... slowly approaching A giant figure gradually stepped out, its body as tall as a big tree, covered in glossy black scales that looked as hard as forged steel. Its four sturdy legs struck the ground heavily.while a pair of long curved horns extended
The Road to Destiny
After resting for a moment, they continued walking. The forest in front of them began to change. The trees that were once green were now black, the ground was filled with cracks.Even the air felt much colder. Kaelan felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end."What is this place?"The old man answered without turning his head."The border of the Forbidden Mountains."Kaelan's steps stopped. The Forbidden Mountains, the place Garrick had mentioned before sacrificing his life.Unconsciously, he tightly clutched the old map under his clothes.The old man glanced at him."You finally took it out."Kaelan froze. "How did you know I had a map?"The old man smiled faintly. "I know more than you imagine."That answer made Kaelan even more wary, he took a step back."Sir… Who exactly are you?"For the first time, the old man wasn't joking, his gaze turned sharp."Now… You don't deserve to know my name yet, but there's one thing you should remember."He pointed towards the mountains s
The Madman in the Valley of the Mist
The fog grew thicker, dozens of bounty hunters stood in a semicircle, blocking all exits from the valley. Their leader stepped forward, swinging his sword over his shoulder."Where are you running to this time, brat?"Kaelan gritted his teeth, his body already exhausted. His wounds hadn't been treated, fighting three people almost killed him, now there were fifteen of them."Hand over your head, at least your death can make us rich."Their laughter filled the valley, Kaelan clenched his fists."If you want my head, I'll take it myself.""Hahaha!" Their leader laughed out loud. "This brat still dares to bluff. Finish him off."Five men immediately advanced, their swords gleaming in the afternoon sun. Kaelan took a step back but the hoarse voice was heard again."So noisy."Everyone turned to the old man in rags, still sitting on the rock holding his jug of wine. He didn't even look at the hunters."Hey, Grandpa." The hunter leader pointed at the old man. "If you don't want to die, stay
The Chase
Kaelan continued to run, tree branches whipping his face, large roots making him almost fall several times. His breathing became heavier, while the tears that had been flowing began to mix with sweat.Behind him the sound of clashing swords had disappeared, the silence felt even more terrifying."Master..." Kaelan tightly gripped the old map Garrick had given him, he wanted to go back.Wanting to make sure the old man was still alive.But Garrick's last words kept ringing in his head."Never believe that you are an illegitimate child."Those words made Kaelan's steps slow down."What does that mean? Didn't the entire Drakon Clan say since childhood that mother had disgraced the clan? Even father himself never denied the accusation? If so, then why did Garrick say otherwise?" These questions filled his mind.Crash!Kaelan crashed into a large rock until his body fell, his knees torn, his palms bleeding.But the pain was nothing compared to the chaos in his mind."Sir… Who am I really…?
