I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 3
Chapter 3
– Well done! – announced the chief.
It ended today without too many problems. I’m wrapped in warm
sunshine, climbed onto my motorcycle.
It’s high summer.
Right now, monsters are especially active.
The place that used to be on the border with North Korea is now called the Paradise of Monsters. In fact, from year to year, a large number of monsters are killed there for energy. But they are not getting smaller.
According to the government’s official statement, their number is specifically
support. Allegedly in order to be able to get enough
arrived. But their words make you wonder: “is it true?”
After all, very few people trust the government.
I got on the motorcycle and, putting on my helmet, thought about today’s hunt.
Today we caught the so-called big-horned deer. We dealt with him
faster than a blind bull. But it turned out that he lost a lot of energy
due to the injuries received. He was hit by many charges from large-caliber weapons. The deer was first repeatedly wounded, and then the awakened ones ran up and finished him off.
Class E.
The lowest class of monsters is F, and the monsters of class E are already stronger. Though
a blind bull and belongs to the same E class, but, in fact, he is still stronger
big-horned deer.
I turned the key, started the engine, and drove my motorcycle down the highway. From fast driving and rushing forward on a deserted road, my soul became calm. And I realized that the day ended well.
There was a time when I thanked heaven for everything that happens … but lately, thanks have been replaced by curses.
From the moment the misfortune happened to my mother.
At that moment, faith in God in me died.
There was no one on the road. Late evening has not yet arrived. I was flying forward
towards the setting sun, and a cool breeze was blowing in my face.
One way or another, but this month I managed to pay the bill for my mother’s treatment.
It cost 2 million won a month to keep her alive. And I was earning
about 4.5 million. I still had 2.5 million left, of which
daily spending took 800 thousand, and the remaining 1.7 million I already
I put it off for 2 years. And by now I have accumulated about
40 million won.
( Pp: 1.700 $, 3.800 $, 2.100 $, 700 $, 1.400 $ and 34.000 $, something like that)
However…
This amount was not enough for anything. In order to wake up mom this is sorely enough.
Heck. I’m dying of thirst.
I stopped my motorcycle at the nearest gas station because I have
dry throat.
There were always a lot of cars at gas stations. And, as a rule, most of them were cars of the Awoken – trucks.
The rest of the parked cars were related to
awakened industries. For example, it was often possible to see
freezer vans or loot trucks.
Glancing at them, I got off the motorcycle and, taking off my helmet, hung it on the handle.
My helmet was of no value. Nobody is surely him
will steal.
I confidently headed for the supermarket, which I looked more like
shop near the house and took from the shelf the drink “Vitamins 3000”. Initially he
was called “Vitamins 500”, but because of one of the politicians it was renamed
in “Vitamins 3000”. Well, I honestly don’t care *.
( Pp: If anyone is interested: some politician got 3 million won as a bribe in a box of these drinks and they jokingly started calling not 500, but 3000)
I paid for the vitamin drink and went outside and unscrewed the lid.
I got a taste of taurine. Sweet and unique taste
touched his tongue and then poured down his throat. Thanks to the drink, I was able to satisfy
thirst and relieve fatigue at least a little. Even though it wasn’t my favorite
drink, but the effect was great.
– Ha-ah … – I breathed.
I haven’t sung in over a year. The dream of a singing career was shattered like
only I faced the harsh reality of life. This made me want to cry.
But in the end I make money, even though I have to risk it
life.
Making money.
It is on the money I earned that my mother’s life is kept.
So I shouldn’t cry. You can’t. You can’t cry!
– Here …
I rubbed my eyes with my hands and concentrated my distracted gaze. After finishing the drink,
I threw out the empty bottle and walked over to the motorcycle. His helmet was still hanging from his handle. Putting it on, I started the engine.
– What?
The electricity was almost at zero. Well, in fact! Eh, nothing
can you do …
I clicked my tongue and rolled the motorcycle to the gas station. Coming closer, I called
employee.
– Need to charge.
A girl ran up to me with her hair slicked back and dressed with her ass
in front of the cap. It seemed to me that she was younger than me and most likely
I also attended university.
“Good!” The girl declared readily.
Are you saying that a student comes here for a part-time job?
And she’s not one of the timid. After all, this area is really dangerous. As far as I know, and probably everyone knows, this place was almost destroyed three years ago.
Sometimes monsters make us happy, breaking through our defenses and
getting out to places where people live.
I glanced over at the girl. She did everything very quickly and said:
– Twenty thousand.
– Here, take it.
– Thank you. Do you need a check?
– No.
– Got it. Thank you! – she smiled broadly and, turning around, went into
the other side.
I looked after her and rubbed my chin.
She is alive.
I have long since disappeared all emotions, although I would like to return them. Wanted
to show emotions. But this is too difficult.
So far, my goal remains to raise money, namely 10 billion won.
To wake up mom.
This requires 10 billion won.
Or a monster A class mandrake.
Although it is a monster from the plant world, it comes with a lot of money. And the flower
mandrakes are generally called a cure for all diseases. With his help
can be cured of AIDS and cancer. However, it does not give immunity and does not
guarantees that the person will not get sick again. And also, this is the only
a well-known cure for the problem due to which mom cannot wake up.
It costs 10 billion won.
This is what I need.
If I had it …
I fixed the helmet and climbed onto the motorcycle.
Now it started up safely, and I decided it was time to go.
– What?
I heard a strange sound.
The whistle of the cut air was getting closer.
What’s the sound? The moment I looked back, my eyes went wide, and
hair stand on end.
– Damn it.
Everyone has every right to swear in such a situation. And if I lived in America, then
probably would say “fuck”!
Wait, what am I thinking about now?
– Che-e-rt! – I shouted and put pressure on the gas.
The motorcycle took off, made a circle, and I, by inertia, along with the motorcycle, rushed forward.
What I saw …
It was a huge tram that fell from the sky. Behind him began to fall
an armored vehicle and something else that looks like a rocket, the name of which I do not know.
Wow! Why do things like this fall from the sky ?!
The motorcycle flew forward at incredible speed. But before I had time
to get out of the parking lot, behind my back, by the sounds, a lot of metal
items.
– Kh ?!
The falling objects cracked the ground. Several powerful explosions rang out. It was the cars that fell from above to the parking lot that suddenly exploded.
My body jumped into the air, and a sharp pain ran down my back. It seemed to me,
that time around has slowed down. And I forgot how to breathe.
Mum…
Before falling to the ground, my mother’s face came up in my mind.
***
What? What is it?
I noticed something in the darkness around me.
It was a huge tail. A tail covered with shiny
scales. He raised a cloud of dust behind him.
I froze. And then I heard strange voices. They caught my attention.
– Ha ha ha! Fun! – someone laughed.
The owner of the voice was definitely not a human.
The Dragon?
Like in films or what?
– You are surprised. I really didn’t think that a man would get me, – someone continued.
From head to tail, the creature was no less than several hundred meters. Its dark-colored scales were of metal like steel. She gleamed in the sun.
The monster had four legs, and on its back were huge,
more than his body, wings. Every time he opened his mouth, he uttered
the sound of “un-un”.
And as soon as I saw it all, I realized that I knew the name
the monster in front of me.
The black dragon Akalluman.
Even among dragons, he was rather rare.
How do I even know this? While I was asking myself questions, the monster is pretty
laughed.
– Although many hunted me … I could not imagine that it would hurt me
man. The world is so wide, anything can happen, right?
Taking a closer look, I was convinced that it was huge in size, but in strength
surpass anyone.
The end of its tail was cut off and blood was flowing from it. The scales were torn in some places.
And that’s not it. There were numerous cuts and wounds on his body, some were very large. From a few meters to tens of meters.
What is it? Slaughterhouse? Did such a huge monster manage to get injured?
– And it was definitely fun.
A man lay next to the dragon. Compared to the dragon, he seemed very tiny. He was missing one arm and lower body. Oddly enough, but for some reason he still remained alive.
Who is it? If you think about it and take a closer look, it looks pretty familiar.
No.
For some reason, I had a feeling of closeness with that person. Mm … maybe
be … am I just delirious before dying?
– I can no longer have fun … It’s a pity … But nothing can be done … – said the lying.
– That’s for sure. I would like to have some more fun with you, but nothing
you can do it. Even you cannot escape death.
“But, Akalluman, I still have something left,” the man said.
Or half a person, depending on how you look at it.
– Ha ha ha. Your reincarnation magic? Do you think she will help you
overcome me? “the monster mocked.
“Live a long life and then one day I will find you,” his interlocutor wished.
– Ha ha ha. I will wait, great archmage Kraturas!
The dragon opened its mouth. The darkness around him thickened, and he exhaled to the side
person. Everything disappeared and only darkness remained.

This is what you see before laughing …
– What?
In the darkness, I grabbed my head.
– A-a-a!
The head ached very much.
But then the darkness immediately dissipated and appeared before my eyes
the lights.
