Chapter 4 : Accused of cheating

Arthur stood frozen in place, unable to believe any of it. This sword had suddenly chosen him? The heirloom sword was supposed to choose a smart and extremely powerful protagonist—so why had it chosen him instead? He didn’t even possess any power and was trapped in the body of an overweight man.

It was clear that many other clans didn’t accept him. They glared at Arthur with angry stares.

The sword was still hovering in front of Arthur, waiting for him to touch it.

What kind of plot twist was this?

A bright light appeared, and Arthur saw floating text that read, “True life is just about to begin.” He fell silent, pondering the meaning of those words.

Shortly afterward, the text vanished.

“That fat man doesn’t deserve the double-edged heirloom sword! He can barely even walk—something must be wrong. There’s no way he was chosen!” exclaimed a man from the Wolf clan.

“Exactly! That fat man doesn’t even have any power. He must have cheated and tricked us into thinking the heirloom sword chose him,” growled a member of the Dragon clan.

Arthur looked annoyed; many clans accused him of cheating, even though he himself knew nothing about it. He was just as surprised that this sword had suddenly chosen him.

In fact, he himself had thought that the Double-Edged Heirloom Sword would choose Zegan Xell, a very powerful wanderer. He mastered the seven elemental powers, was humble, and intelligent.

‘Where is that man?’

Was it because that man didn’t show up that he was chosen instead? It seemed something had happened to him, preventing him from attending the selection for the legendary double-edged sword.

“We might as well just fight. Show us your strength and prowess against us. If you’re not up to it, that means you’re not worthy of the legendary sword!”

Arthur glared at the burly man from the Dragon Clan. He was the leader of the Dragon Clan—a cruel and selfish man who believed himself to be the strongest.

The Dragon Clan leader’s personality was truly infuriating! He had even tortured his entire people once, just over a trivial matter. He would prove that he was indeed worthy of being chosen by the double-edged heirloom sword.

Arthur touched the sword. If he managed to touch it, that meant he was truly the chosen one! They should all believe that he hadn’t cheated in any way.

“Look, I managed to touch it, and this sword is very obedient. That proves I’m worthy of being chosen!” Arthur said firmly.

Many were stunned to see that the fat man could actually control the double-edged heirloom sword. However, most still refused to accept it, believing Arthur’s abilities to be inferior to their own.

“Impossible! Do you actually possess some kind of control magic? We all know you’re a lazy human with no abilities whatsoever—you can’t even defend yourself!” exclaimed the Dragon Clan Leader.

“Don’t just spout nonsense! This sword chooses not only based on ability, but also on character and heart. If your heart is rotten, how could you possibly be chosen?” Arthur grumbled.

“You should also know that the double-edged heirloom sword isn’t affected by any magic!”

The Dragon Clan Leader looked extremely angry upon hearing Arthur’s words.

“Everyone! Do you believe this fat man’s words more? He’s just trying to defend himself. A thousand years ago, the Avtar Earth Heirloom chose King Aberforth because he was very strong and could control the nine elements of nature. The Avtar Heirloom would never choose someone weak and useless!” The Dragon Clan Leader continued to provoke the other clans so that Arthur would remain the scapegoat.

“That’s right! The Avtar Land heirloom has never chosen a weak man, let alone a fat, useless man!” growled one of the members of the Tiger clan.

The Dragon clan leader smiled faintly, as many were defending him. If the clans didn’t accept him, it was certain that the heirloom sword would be put away again.

‘Foolish man! I’m the only one worthy of that heirloom.’

Arthur could no longer contain his anger; he thrust the heirloom sword into the ground, causing a powerful tremor.

“I’m not weak! This sword has chosen me. If you don’t accept that, then you’ll have to fight me,” Arthur said with a firm voice and a piercing gaze.

Two men from the Tiger clan and three men from the Dragon clan immediately attacked Arthur. However, Arthur easily defeated them using the double-edged heirloom sword.

They were seriously injured; some were even killed instantly because the spiritual energy of the double-edged heirloom sword was so powerful.

“If you don’t want to suffer the same fate as them, you’d better all leave here!” Arthur commanded in a firm voice.

The entire clan finally chose to return to their respective territories.

Arthur never expected this to happen to him; it all happened suddenly and completely out of the blue. Chosen by the Double-Edged Heirloom Sword, yet hated by many clans.

They left, but not because it was over. They simply couldn’t stand up to the Double-Edged Heirloom Sword. Many still couldn’t accept that he had been chosen by it.

Now his life wasn’t just about his mother and work.

“Why did you choose me?” Arthur muttered, staring at the heirloom sword.

The sword briefly emitted a glow, as if responding to Arthur’s words.

Arthur thought of Queen Avtar. Whoever was chosen by this sword would be given the opportunity to spend the night with her.

With his overweight body, would the beautiful Queen accept him? Regardless of his physical appearance, Queen Avtar should still accept him because he had been chosen by the double-edged heirloom sword.

“I still have to go see Queen Avtar because I’ve been chosen,” Arthur said with a faint smile. Then he set off for Avtar Palace.

    While the Land of Avtar was shrouded in boundless despair and regret, thousands of miles away beyond the unclaimed lands of the northern region, Arthur made his way through the thick fog enveloping the Skull Ice Mountains.This place was known as the Valley of Death, a forbidden territory not even marked on any royal map. A cold wind blew fiercely, carrying sharp snowflakes capable of cutting through the skin of an ordinary person.Arthur pulled his gray cloak tighter around himself. Behind his back, the double-edged Heirloom Sword emitted a faint golden glow, keeping his body warm amid the extreme weather.Arthur’s footsteps halted before a steep, sheer chasm. Across the chasm stood the sturdy ruins of an ancient temple, built in a mystical architectural style from the era of the gods. However, the path leading there was blocked by a black aura rising high from the bottom of the chasm.GRRRRR…The earth shook violently. From the darkness of the chasm, a gigantic, three-headed creatur

  • Chapter 104 : Queen Avtar’s Regret at Having Banished Arthur

    The days passed in a tense silence within Avtar Palace. Behind the door of her dimly lit private chamber, Queen Avtar brooded in agonizing solitude.Helena’s explanation kept spinning endlessly in her head, piercing every emotional defense she had built up out of shame and despair.She recalled how Arthur had breached the gates of the Upper Realm, shattered the golden and silver guardians, subdued the three legendary beasts with the seven symbols of Sky Magic, and ultimately vanquished the Legendary Red Dragon—all of which Arthur had done solely to bring her home. That man had risked his life and his honor without ever asking for anything in return. Yet, what did she give in return? A cruel judgment, malicious prejudice, and an order of exile before the entire clan.“What have I done,” Queen Avtar whispered softly, staring at her trembling fingers. “No, I can’t go on like this; I must make everything right,” the woman continued after gathering her thoughts.Now a sudden realization st

  • Chapter 103 : Arthur's Trail Vanishes

    Behind the thick wooden door of her private chamber, which was locked tight, Queen Avtar slumped wearily until she was sitting on the cold floor.The darkness of the room, devoid of candlelight, seemed to mirror the emptiness now lodged deep within her chest. The tears she had been holding back finally broke free, streaming down her increasingly gaunt cheeks; the woman now felt utterly weak.Helena’s explanation kept echoing in her head like the torturous toll of a bell.Every word spoken by the white werewolf tore apart the Queen’s inner defenses. Arthur had never betrayed her. The child Helena was carrying was not Arthur’s. Even when they were far apart and faced with cruel accusations, that man had kept his distance, respected her, and risked everything just for her honor and happiness—but what had she done? She had actually driven him away simply because she was disgusted with herself.“Arthur,” Queen Avtar whispered softly, clutching her chest, which felt incredibly tight. “Forgi

  • Chapter 102 : Arthur Disappears

    After delivering her entire testimony before the royal court, Helena stepped out of the main hall feeling much more relieved. Queen Avtar did not delay in fulfilling her duty.A royal decree was issued that very same day without hesitation. The leader of the White Wolf Clan was officially stripped of his power, all his privileges were revoked, and he and his young wife were sentenced to lifelong exile in the barren borderlands.A fitting punishment for the cruel acts that had destroyed Helena’s life and taken her husband’s life.However, the satisfaction of seeing justice served did not linger long in Helena’s heart. Her thoughts immediately drifted back to the man who had saved her life and the baby she was carrying—who else but Arthur?“I’ve done my part, Arthur. I’ve cleared your name before the Queen,” Helena murmured softly as she gazed at the row of silent mountains beyond the palace gates.Although Arthur had forbidden her from following him, Helena could not bear to let a man

  • Chapter 101 : Helena's Explanation

    Arthur’s refusal caused Helena to bow her head deeply, letting her tears fall and wet the dry ground beneath her feet.After a long silence hung heavy between them, Helena finally nodded slowly with profound resignation.“All right, if that is truly what you’re asking of me, Arthur,” Helena said as she wiped away her tears. “I will return and seek justice for my father. But know this: I’m doing this not for the kingdom, but because I respect your request.” Helena continued, for she realized that what Arthur had said was also for her own good.Helena then turned her back on Arthur, allowing her body to be enveloped once more by a silver glow until her white wolf form reappeared. Without another glance back, the white wolf leaped forward, sprinting through the trees to make her way home to the Land of Avtar, leaving Arthur alone at the edge of that remote village.Helena’s primary destination was no longer just the royal palace, but the territory of the White Wolf Clan—her birthplace, w

  • Chapter 100 : Leaving the Land of Avtar

    Arthur actually felt a little disappointed by Queen Avtar’s decision to banish him, but he couldn’t blame Amora because he realized that the woman he loved might have had her reasons for doing this to him.Arthur walked slowly along the dusty path. He chose to go far away, leaving behind the splendor of Avtar Palace and heading for a remote village isolated behind the silent mountains.It was in this distant and secluded place that Arthur hoped Amora, the Queen of Avtar whom he loved so dearly, could regain her peace of mind. He was willing to go into exile and endure the pain of his banishment, as long as she could lead the Land of Avtar without being constantly haunted by trauma and guilt.However, Arthur wasn’t truly alone throughout that long journey. From a distance, a white wolf—thickly furred and graceful in stature—continued to follow him from behind the bushes. It was Helena, who had deliberately shifted her form so she could keep watch over and accompany Arthur without causi
