CALE'S POOR LIFE IN WMMAP

Chapter 5

After the servants fled from the palace. Cale started living on her own. Cale's top priority was foraging for food. Every week, she went to the forest far from the cold palace with her wind power to look for food because the trees around her palace could not grow.

Luckily Cale had the knowledge of how to survive while fighting against the monsters on earth as kim rook soo. She has knowledge of edible plants and fruits in the forest.

While trying to pull out the mushrooms, Cale accidentally injured her hand due to the sharp rock.  Her little palms were bleeding because the skin was so soft and thin. After that, she went straight home to clean her wound with the food she had gathered with her strength.

"It's really tiring. I wish there was a beacrox here who could make some food for me"

On her way back to the palace, she saw a young crow whose wings were injured. Seeing the crow reminded her of raon, on, and hong. Therefore, she approached the bird to heal it.

Just as Cale wanted to carry it, Cale's blood from the previous wound accidentally dripped on the bird's wound. Then, the wound on the crow's wing immediately healed without a trace and the crow flew away immediately.

“Healing power?!”

Cale just stood frozen in shock from what had happened earlier.  She knew, she had obtained the healing power of the sun god.  However, the wound she received from the servant's torture did not heal.  She thought the power was just a god's lie.

But after seeing the incident just now, Cale realized that her healing power couldn't heal herself and could only heal others using her blood.

"F***, what does it mean to have divine power. If I can't use it for myself"

Cale decided to add the sun god to her black list and continued on her way to her palace.

After arriving at the palace, she cleaned her wound with water and bandaged her hand with the cloth from her clothes. Then, she ate some of the fruits and plants she had gathered.

Then, Cale lay on her bed while looking at the hand that had been bandaged. She realized that her healing power had to be kept a secret otherwise many people would be after her for her blood.

"Damn?!"

She was really annoyed with the gods. The power that was given didn't help her but only added to the burden on her.

Cale tried to sleep to forget her annoyance. However, when she wanted to close her eyes she saw a figure of a child through the door of her room.

"Haaa... why is there always trouble coming to me. I can't rest in peace"

the girl had long white hair and a beautiful white dress. But her eyes are black like they're gone. Cale remembered the rumors of ghosts in this palace. 

Cale knew the child wasn't human but she wasn't afraid but rather curious about the child instead.  She felt compelled to follow the ghost. That's why she followed her, the ghost walked out of the palace and into the palace's backyard.

Cale had never been to the courtyard because she felt that there was nothing important and there were only dead trees like in the front yard. The ghost stopped walking and then pointed at the lake in the middle of the trees.

Cale sensed an extremely dark aura from the lake. He began to approach it but she immediately stopped walking when she saw the lake. She was shocked by the sight she saw.

"Dead mana?!"

The lake that cale was looking at was dead mana. The source of the dark aura that enveloped the cold palace and the dead trees. She already knew where dead mana was but she didn't look for it because of the maid who was bothering her.

"F***?!"

"Who's the bastard that made mana dead here?!"

Cale realized the rumors that the ghosts were the spirits of people who had been sacrificed to make mana dead. In addition, the lake is very large. She realized that the lake had existed for a long time and that many people had been sacrificed.

Cale turned her head back to see the ghost of a child. She knew the girl wanted to ask for her help to free the spirits of those who were still trapped here. She wanted to help the child because she could not bear to see a child who had a very difficult life. Even after death, she could not rest in peace.

Cale stood still looking at the lake while thinking about how to help her. Cale started to frown.

"Tch... it seems, this is the only way to deal with it"

Cale picked up the small sharp stones that were around her. She was standing right in front of the lake. Then, she used the stone to injure her own hand. Gradually blood started to ooze out of her hand. She dripped her blood into the lake. The lake began to glow. The dead mana was slowly decreasing little by little.

"I already guessed"

Cale's healing power came from the sun god. She realized that the power of dead mana and gods were opposites. Therefore, Cale's blood was very effective at cleaning the lake.

However, Cale couldn't clear the entire lake because it was too big.  She will die of blood loss, if she wants to clean the entire lake. So Cale decided to slowly clear the lake.

Then, Cale returned to her room to sleep tired from the many events that had surprised her. In the middle of the night while Cale was sleeping, she suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body.  When she opened her eyes, she saw a knife aimed at her head.

Cale immediately turned her head, lucky that only her cheek was scratched. She was very surprised by the sudden attack. Although on the outside, Cale looked calm, but inside she was extremely panicked and scared. Then, a male voice spoke.

"Hooo... what a lucky little bunny"

Cale was surprised to recognize the familiar voice. But, she didn't want to believe it. Then, the male started to approach Cale.

His footsteps are very quiet and there is no sound. But with the moonlight, Cale started to see the face of the male figure. She widened her eyes and her body froze. She didn't expect to meet him in this situation.

"Ron?!!!"
