MDL | Chapter 2.11
The newly risen morning sun felt somehow unripe. Like the crust of slightly underbaked bread, or barley stalks not yet fully golden, or a peach whose skin you eagerly peeled only to find the flesh still hard and sour. It was an impression of clumsiness, of shyness. A light that suited a new beginning, a new journey. But standing under that shy, unripe light, Zig’s complexion was as dark and blotchy as the bark of a thousand-year-old tree. The face of a man who had spent the night consumed by worry and…-

MDL | Chapter 2.1
Episode 2. The Promise of the Nameless Crackle, crackle… A campfire was burning. The dry branches of winter and the brittle leaves that crumbled at the slightest touch sparked and crackled as they burned. The fire was just enough to keep the four people and three horses huddled around it from freezing. They had to be content with even this modest fire. It was proof that the sudden cracks in the world and the monsters that had emerged from them hadn’t caught up to them yet. But the calamity…-

MDL | Chapter 1.9
With his newfound resolve, the wizard swung his quill. Black ink flowed from the tip and seeped into the solid ground between the Prince and the monsters, causing giant thorny vines to sprout suddenly. Several monsters, stomping toward the Prince, tripped over the vines and fell. A faint smile appeared on the Prince’s pale, exhausted face. "I’ve got quite the impressive wizard." Though the remark was somewhat mocking, the wizard didn’t respond. The fallen monsters were already using their…-

MDL | Chapter 1.8
While they were struggling to resist the monsters with these efforts, the wizard was wandering in search of the Prince. After the monster turned its back and left, the wizard began running again. To find the Prince. …… …… What exactly did he plan to do once he found him? I don’t know. But searching for the Prince was almost instinctual for the wizard. You know how this character came to be, don’t you? The wizard was created solely for the Prince—to cast the curse upon…-

MDL | Chapter 1.7
A cold, ominous wind blew fiercely from the depths of the forest they had left behind. The Prince’s long, lustrous black hair was tousled by the gust. With one hand, he swept his hair back and glared at the flag of the palace towering in the distance. Today, the flag was adorned with far more elaborate golden threads than usual to commemorate the Prince’s birthday, but in a world riddled with holes like moth-eaten fabric, it felt no more majestic than a child’s toy. "I am the Prince you’re…-

MDL | Chapter 1.6
The prince’s eyes widened at the eerie sensation of the pen tip scratching his skin. Overwhelmed, he lost his balance, staggering and collapsing onto the wizard... The brave prince, who had dodged hundreds of silver needles, could not escape the wizard’s dark curse. He fell into a deep, hundred-year slumber... Ah, finally... The wizard, pinned under the prince’s body and unable to move, smiled triumphantly... Ding! ...But then? At that very…-

MDL | Chapter 1.5
The prince stared intently at the wizard without continuing his words. The wizard felt a chill under the prince’s emotionless, wax-doll-like gaze. Without realizing it, the wizard’s lips trembled as he asked: "S-so what?" "So...?" The prince’s face twisted strangely. He repeatedly scrunched and relaxed his facial muscles in odd ways, as if searching for the right expression to wear in this moment. Finally, the prince’s facial muscles settled into an expression. A smile. A smile…-

MDL | Chapter 1.4
Fortunately for our wizard, just as he was lost in that wish, the prince’s horse snorted softly and stamped its hooves in dissatisfaction, kicking up dried grass and dust that tickled the wizard’s nose. "Pff, pff, pff... Achoo!" The transparent cloak couldn’t muffle the sound of a sneeze. The wizard quickly covered his mouth, but it was far too late. "Who’s there?!" the prince called out sharply. The wizard glared at the innocent horse, which was chewing on dried grass, pretending…-

MDL | Chapter 1.3
The prince dramatically flipped one side of his cloak over his shoulder. His exposed left side, his left hip... there... Hanging from his waist was a single, rusted, chipped... old sword, still in its scabbard. A sword! The wizard, hiding among the beggars and watching everything, gasped and covered his mouth. A sword! How could the prince have a sword? By the king’s decree, fearing the curse, the prince was forbidden from owning a sword. He wasn’t even allowed to learn swordsmanship. So how…-
