THE CURSED ONE - THE BOY WHO CHALLENGE DESTINY

Miracle - 1

The sun was about to set when Hyung Jae arrived in front of the city gate of Sinmu, he had tried to ride as fast as possible from the Baika forest but having to carry Jin and Jung Kook's bodies made the journey a little slow. Hyung Jae immediately got off the horse and reported himself to the city guard who came from the Golden Flame sect, he told all the incidents he had seen in Baika Forest. The guards were shocked when they found out that Jung Kook, the Golden Flame chef, was killed by robbers, they were sad even though they didn't know Jung Kook personally, and the guards offered to help take care of the body of his former party colleague. 

Hyung Jae feels a little relieved after accepting the offer from the guards, he's happy that someone helped take care of Jung Kook's body because he had to take Jin to the healer to treat his wounds. The guards recommend Hyung Jae to go to the place of doctor Ma, the best healer in town, and of course, Hyung Jae rushes over there.

Doctor Ma's house is not very luxurious, quite simple but spacious, Hyung Jae smells the scent of medicinal herbs as soon as he enters the house. Inside the house there are many rooms specifically used for patient care, an assistant named Andong welcomed Hyung Jae who was carrying Jin's body, and asked him to enter one of the treatment cubicles. The cubicle was not big but very neat with a small bed inside and Andong asked Hyung Jae to lay Jin's body on the bed while he went to call the healer.

Doctor Ma came hurriedly after finding out that there were small children who needed to be handled immediately, he immediately asked everyone including Hyung Jae to come out of the room so they could immediately get treatment, not forgetting that he asked Andong the assistant to prepare warm water and dry towels. . Hyung Jae and Andong both obeyed the doctor's orders, they immediately walked out of the room, before leaving the room, Hyung Jae glanced at the doctor Ma who was taking out acupuncture needles and stabbed them into several points on Jin's body.

Hyung Jae waited patiently outside the room, even though he was not the child's family but he felt obliged to wait for the results of the doctor's treatment.

"I have met the child but there is an incident like this, I can not leave the child before giving this necklace directly to him, if I just leave it might be the spirit of his mother will haunt me for life." Hyung Jae muttered while looking at a necklace in his hand.

After half the burnt incense, the doctor had left the treatment room, his face is both serious and worried.

"Excuse me, Sir, are you the family of the little boy?" Doctor Ma asked Hyung Jae.

"No, I'm not that boy's family, Mr. Doctor, what's the matter?" Hyung Jae's turn to ask back.

"Ah, this has to do with the child's condition, there is something that I think only the child's family should know." Doctor Ma explained his point.

"Too bad, it seems that the child doesn't have a family anymore, to be honest, I found the body of this child and an old man who seemed to be his grandfather in Baika Forest, this child was in a fainted state, but his grandfather has died. I believe they are the victims of robbery," Hyung Jae told the healer what he knew. "You can talk to me about the child's condition, I will cover the medical expenses." Hyung Jae continued.

"No, this is not a matter of medical expenses, sir, but about the child's very worrying condition. The energy in his body is tied together and many of his blood vessels are broken, to be honest, I have only encountered this condition all my life, the child's body seemed to receive a burst of powerful energy from the inside of his body, but what strange is about the origin of that exploding power. It is not coming from the inner power of this child,l. Even if he regains his consciousness, his body will be paralyzed for life. within his body, although his current deep wounds are not due to that demonic curse. " Doctor Ma explained in a worried tone.

Hyung Jae is shocked by doctor Ma's explanation, he did not think that the child's condition would be this bad, "The curse of the black demon? It means that even if he recovers now, he only has a few years to live?" Hyung Jae sighs, "It turns out there are people with such bad luck."

"As a healer, I will still try to cure him as best I can, but I do not want to promise anything, sir. Let me excuse you first to prepare some potions before treating the child further." Doctor Ma said.

"Thank you, Mr. Consultant. Ah, before you go, may I go inside to see the child?" Hyung Jae asked Doctor Ma's permission.

"Of course, sir, please come in there." Doctor Ma answered the question and then left him.

Hyung Jae rushed into the room and stood still while observing the body of the child who was lying on the bed, several acupuncture needle punctures, and some black stains due to broken blood vessels visible on the child's body.

He feels sympathy for Jin, a child as young as him has experienced so much suffering in his life that even adults might give up to endure. In his sympathy he suddenly remembered the effect of the necklace given by Jin's mother, the gem in the necklace could help increase someone's vitality significantly, he thought that if Jin wearing it might help to heal this child's inner wounds.

"Maybe this is what the woman meant that this necklace could help prolong the life of this child." Hyung Jae murmured again and immediately puts the necklace on Jin. The necklace starts to glow and flash constantly before the light disappears. Hyung Jae feels strange about it but he can't confirm what happened because healer Ma has come back into the room with various potions in his hand. Hyung Jae knows himself and immediately goes outside before being asked by the healer.
