Arthur was, of course, shocked when they bound his body with extremely strong chains and carried him away from Avtar Palace. He struggled, trying to break free from the chains.

They were clearly not from Avtar Palace—who were they, really?

Arthur was stunned when they revealed their true forms; it turned out they were Wizards.

Wait, why did the Wizards capture him?

“Damn it. Why did you bring me here? I don’t have any problems with any of you,” said Arthur as he tried to break free from the chains binding his body.

The two Wizards gripped the chains even tighter, making it difficult for Arthur to move.

“You’ve made a huge mistake! And you’ve caused trouble for the Witches’ clan. We’re going to seal your powers and send you to a prison in Alaska,” said one of the Witches.

Arthur shook his head, feeling that someone had framed him. He had never bothered the Witches’ clan—in fact, he didn’t even possess any powers yet.

Arthur tried to explain that he had never caused trouble with the Witches’ clan, but the Witches only looked angrier, as if they didn’t believe a word he said.

“Shut up! You’ve been proven guilty. You also intended to deceive Queen Avtar by obtaining the heirloom sword through underhanded means. We all know you possess dark magic that will destroy the Land of Avtar. Before that happens, we will seal you away in Alaska Prison. Alaska Prison will give you the punishment you deserve!”

Arthur, of course, knew about Alaska Prison. Anyone sentenced to Alaska Prison would never be able to leave for the rest of their life; they would essentially die a slow death inside that prison.

It was the most terrifying place of punishment in the Land of Avtar.

These Wizards believed he had committed a grave error, even though he was also a victim. Who exactly had framed him with the Wizard clan?

Arthur suspected that this was the work of the Dragon clan leader, because the Dragon clan leader desperately wanted the double-edged heirloom sword and harbored a grudge against him—since he was the one chosen by that heirloom sword.

The Wizards chanted a special spell to open the gates of Alaska Prison. Arthur watched as the gates of Alaska Prison slowly opened; he couldn’t just stand by and let the Wizards lock him up in Alaska Prison for a crime he never committed.

Arthur closed his eyes and struggled with all his might to break the chains binding his body.

“It’s no use—those chains are incredibly strong. They’ve been coated with the most powerful magic from the Witches’ clan,” said the white-haired Witch.

Panic spread across Arthur’s face as he watched the gates of Alaska Prison open almost completely. If he were imprisoned in Alaska forever, what would become of his mother? He had promised to return home with many gold coins.

Arthur didn’t even think about Queen Avtar, even though his original purpose was to meet her. His thoughts were focused solely on Emely, the elderly woman who was now his mother. If he couldn’t return to keep his promise, his mother would surely be very disappointed.

The two witches used their magic to control Arthur, forcing him to walk through the gates of the Alaskan prison.

“I’m innocent—don’t do this! I don’t even understand what I’ve done wrong to any of you. Someone must be pitting us against each other,” said Arthur.

“You’re clearly guilty! But how dare you not admit your wrongdoing,” growled one of them.

Arthur’s body was thrust forward and he nearly fell inside.

The double-edged heirloom sword appeared, sending a flash of lightning into the sky and sending the witches flying. At that very moment, the chains binding Arthur’s body snapped.

Arthur grabbed the double-edged heirloom sword; thankfully, it arrived just in time before he was completely trapped in the Alaskan prison by the Witches.

The Witches stood up, glaring at Arthur. They looked even angrier when the double-edged heirloom sword came to Arthur’s aid; the Witches were convinced that Arthur had taken control of the sword using dark magic.

“That sword doesn’t belong to you—you must be controlling it with your dark magic. We’ll make sure the sword returns to its rightful owner.” Arthur looked annoyed at those words; even the Witches accused him of using dark magic to obtain the double-edged heirloom sword.

Why didn’t anyone believe he was the rightful Chosen One? Was it because he used to be just a fat man with no powers whatsoever? That’s why the entire clan doubted him.

The Witches combined their magical powers to immobilize Arthur.

Arthur immediately aimed his heirloom sword at the Witches, sending them flying with tremendous force. Of course, the Witches’ power was no match for that of the double-edged heirloom sword. The sword possessed extremely high spiritual energy, which was why so many clans coveted the double-edged heirloom sword.

The sword pointed at the prison gate, and the gate closed again.

“Impossible!” one of the Wizards muttered, staring at Arthur with an inscrutable expression.

Arthur gave a faint smile, then walked closer to the Witches.

“I don’t want to hurt any of you, and I don’t have any issues with the Witch clan, so please don’t bother me!” Arthur tried to warn the Witches in the hope of reaching a peaceful resolution; after all, it was true that he hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should they be at odds with him?

“You say you’ve done nothing wrong to the Witches’ clan? You’re the one who killed our leader and plunged the Witches’ clan into hardship,” one of them growled.

Arthur was, of course, shocked; he’d only been trapped in this comic world a few days ago—there was no way that fat man could have caused trouble with the Witches’ clan.

It was crystal clear that someone had deliberately set him up, making him even more hated by the entire clan.

‘Is this the work of the Dragon Clan leader?’

If it turned out to be the Dragon Clan leader’s doing, he wouldn’t just stand by—the leader’s actions had gone way too far. In the book, the Dragon Clan leader always went to any lengths to bring down the Protagonist and tarnish his reputation.

“You deserve to die! Your mistake was utterly fatal.” One of the Wizards ordered the others to attack Arthur again. Arthur was forced to counterattack with his heirloom sword. The sword strike instantly killed three of the Wizards.

The other Witches looked frightened; their faces tensed.

“You’d better all leave. I truly don’t want to harm the Witch clan. This must be a misunderstanding—I’ll find the real evidence to prove that I’m truly innocent!” Arthur said firmly.

“I swear I’ll find out who killed the leader of the Witch clan.”

The Witches looked at one another; they decided to leave because fighting him would be futile. Their power was no match for the double-edged heirloom sword.

“The Witch Clan is waiting for you—prove that you’re truly innocent!”

  • Chapter 105 : Ancient Temple

    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
