208 Kevin also Fell
Tears streamed down his dirty and terrified face.Kevin stared at the young man with an expression that did not change.He remembered the faces of the villagers who had been wounded in the previous attack. He remembered Nora's story about her husband who had been killed. He remembered the fear in the eyes of the children when the bandits attacked."Did you listen when the villagers begged for their lives?" Kevin asked in a cold voice. "Did you stop when the women wept, begging you to leave?"The young man could not answer."No." Kevin answered for himself. "You did not stop. And now, I will not stop either."With his current strength, Kevin could not defeat these bandits. But this strength of his was enough to hold the bandits back and prevent them from breaking down the door and getting inside.The giant tried to beat Kevin, but Kevin kept enduring despite being beaten, and refused to move away from the village gate.The mist kept closing in!Fifty meters.Twenty meters.The poisonou
207 Sacrifices at the Village Gate
Five days had passed since the bandits' first attack.Green Dawn Village slowly returned to its normal routine. The fields were being worked again, the small market at the center of the village was bustling once more, and children were playing in the streets with cheerful laughter once again.But Kevin knew that this peace would not last long.The bandits he had defeated were not a small group operating on their own. They were part of a larger network, and Kevin was certain that their defeat would not be left unanswered.He was right.On the sixth morning, the warning bells rang out again with an intensity more urgent than before.CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!"They're back!" A scout ran into the square with a pale face. "And this time... this time there are far more of them!"Kevin ran to the watchtower at the edge of the village and looked into the distance with sharpened eyes.His heart seemed to stop.On the horizon, billowing dust formed a massive cloud signaling the arrival of an

Heat.Intense heat began spreading from his stomach throughout his entire body—not a painful heat, but a purifying one. Kevin felt the energy that had been locked away inside his body for so long begin to stir—like water breaking through a small crack in a dam.CRACK!Kevin felt something inside him shatter—like a chain snapping or a seal breaking open. Suddenly, a portion of his power returned.Not all of it—far from all of it. But enough.Enough to fight.Kevin rose with a movement that was swift and sharp, his eyes now gleaming with energy that had not been there before."Rei." Kevin looked at the small child before him with a mixture of gratitude and resolve. "Go to your mother. Let Uncle handle this."Rei nodded obediently and ran back toward Nora.Kevin turned to face the bandit who had struck him earlier—the man who was now staring at him with a slightly startled expression."You can still stand?" The bandit snorted. "Stubborn. Let me teach you a harder lesson—"He did not get
205. Sealed Power
'The portal,' Kevin realized with frustration. 'The journey through the portal must have sealed my cultivation. But why? And how do I unlock it again?'He had no answers to those questions. All he could do was keep working and searching for information about the Golden Dragon Tear.During that first week, Kevin began interacting with the other villagers. The village—called Green Dawn Village—was inhabited by about two thousand people, most of them farmers like Nora.Kevin asked many people about the Golden Dragon Tear, but no one had ever heard of such an item. Some people mentioned the ancient dragons that had once lived on Trigana thousands of years ago, but there was no specific information about their "tears.""Perhaps you should go to the city," one of the village elders suggested one day. "In Crystal City, there is a great library that holds knowledge from the ancient era. If there is any information about what you are searching for, it is most likely there."Kevin noted that in
204. Three Dangers
"No." Kevin shook his head honestly. "I truly know nothing about this place."Nora let out a sigh and began to explain.---"On Trigana, there are three main dangers that all inhabitants must watch out for," Nora began her explanation in a serious tone.Rei, who had finished playing in the corner of the room, ran to his mother's lap and sat quietly, apparently used to hearing explanations like this."The first danger is the bandits." Nora looked at Kevin with a dark expression. "They are groups of cultivators who have no land or steady work. They survive, or are unwilling to work hard and choose to live by raiding farming villages like ours—taking the harvest, stealing valuables, and..."She paused for a moment, glancing at Rei sitting on her lap."...doing terrible things to the villagers who cannot fight back."Kevin understood the unspoken implication."The bandits come periodically—usually every few months. They know when harvest season arrives, and they come to take a share of th
203 New World
Kevin's steps carried him across the strange bluish meadow toward the smoke he had seen in the distance.The closer he walked, the clearer the scene before him became. This was no mere small settlement—it was a vast agricultural area with neatly arranged fields stretching as far as the eye could see.But the farming in this place was vastly different from anything Kevin had ever seen on Earth.The plants growing in the fields had shapes he did not recognize. There were plants with dark purple stalks and leaves that glittered like gemstones. There were ones shaped like giant spirals with glowing fruits hanging from their tips. There were also plants that looked like solid crystals growing out of the ground, radiating an energy aura that Kevin could feel even from a distance.What was even more astonishing was the way the farmers worked their fields.Kevin saw a middle-aged man standing at the edge of a field with his eyes closed, his hands raised before him. From his palms, brownish en
