CONNECTED (Alchemy Of Souls S1)

1

The energy of the sky
rules the wind, clouds, and rain. This energy reached the ground and created a huge form of energy.

A country was built around
Lake Gyeongcheondaeho,
a lake that embodied that energy.

The name of the country was Daeho,due to the enormous lake it had.

Humans who had the power
to control this great energy
were called mages.

This story is about the mages of Daeho, a place that does not exist in both history books or maps.

The sorcress stood on the ice as the snow fell as she faced the leader of the Park family , " So you are Naksu. the Shadow Assassin who has been going around killing the mages in the city."

She smiled darkly at the statement , "They call me Naksu,
for wherever I go, heads fall to the ground.A beautiful name, is it not?"

Soon she engaged in a battle with the mages but she had underestimated the skills of Park Jin as she got fatally injured. Knowing she couldn't be captured , she created a destruction falling into the glacier below.

Naksu made her way to the market trying to evade Songrim's mages. But even the assassin knew her pulse was feeling weaker with each moment.

'Why did I have to enter a body' like this one? The asssassin/ sorcress thought to herself disappointed in the flaw of the plan

' I am sure she was blind. But why is it that I see? Is it because I am a different soul?' She then felt her shoulder. 'She did not even have a blue mark showing I entered her body. How unusual.'

"I was worried when you fainted earlier We are almost there, Mu-deok." Woo said looking at his blind travelling companion.

"Mu-deok.She is a blind girl from the countryside .who got sold off to the fortress.'

The Soul shifter tilted her bandage to observe the man who has addressed her.

Probably a commoner like her. Her brother maybe ?

Taking advantage that he was distracted by the lake , she took the opportunity to plot an escape trying to climb up the ledge of a bridge but failing.

' What is wrong with me?
I have no strength. Is this body not capable of even climbing this? My arms feel weak.'

"Mister!Help me!"

Woo turned around when he heard Mudeok screaming dangling off the bridge , "-What..."
