The Era Of Medicinal Empowerment(Taekook)
Chapter 1
Mountains shrouded in darkness, yellow flames flickered and danced while devouring the mountain villa accompanied by countless screams as they echoed through the silent valley.
A 14-year-old boy, staring blankly at the sight, with a fire torch in one hand.
The ravenous flames engulfed everything leaving only the crackling sound of burnt wood.
This evil cage has disappeared.
At last, this prison for the past 10 years has now turned into a sea of flames.
Black Cat
[Where are we going?]
A tender voice softly asked as the little black cat sitting on the boy's shoulder looked at him intently with a pair of clear eyes as it licked its paws.
..........
Anywhere will do, as long as it’s out of here.
The boy gave a last look at his masterpiece, turned and walked toward the mountains, as the sound of broken chains rattled restricting his slender ankles as he walked on emotionlessly onto the rugged jungle path.
Just as he turned, a body wrapped in flames rushed out from within the chaos, with eyes filled with a hint of madness staring fixedly at the back view fading into the darkness, when an ear-piercing scream rang through the air.
Grandfather
Taehyung! Come back! You can never get out of here! You belong to me!
More than ten years of hard work engulfed into nothingness.
The boy calmly stopped in his tracks as he turned around to see the man swallowed by the flames, he coldly said,
Taehyung
You are dying, while I still live.
The man was screaming in anguish . As boy gave a last look at his greatest nightmare, he coldly said,
Taehyung
Farewell, Grandfather.
The little black cat sitting on the boy's shoulder gave a contemptuous ridicule and sneered. 'Grandfather?'
For someone who was obsessed in studying medicine, a madman who locked his own grandson up deep within the mountains using him as a guinea pig , what right did he have to be it’s owner’s grandfather?
Black Cat
[Master, what are your plans?]
Ignoring that voice which was gradually engulfed by the flames, the little black cat asked the boy.
Taehyung looked at his slender hands and softly answered,
Taehyung
To test for a veterinary license.
Black Cat
[Ha ha ha! That old man, if he knew that you, a peerless genius in the medical field actually want to be a vet, he would certainly not rest in peace!]
Exclaimed the cat as it was laughing hysterically on the boy's shoulder.
Taehyung
He won’t rest in peace?
The boy's eyes were downcast as his lips slightly brought back a hint of a smile almost.
A year later, he settled in a City and obtained a veterinary license, and went on the path of treating animals.
Life is very unpredictable. Just a moment before, he was still in the operating room performing a surgery, however there was a sudden explosion, and he fell into darkness.
Heavy rain poured down as he stirred. He found himself lying on some rocks as he gave a calm judgment of the current situation.
He was in a strange new world, replacing a dying soul and as he searched the fragments of foreign memories that flooded his mind, he came to realize that this new ‘him’ was also known as the Tae-hyung, but with a surname, Kim. Kim Tae-hyung.

Chapter 2
Lin Wang’s grandson–notoriously known as the overly pampered Young Master of the Lin Palace. Arrogant, haughty and unreasonable, everyone was a miniscule existence in his eyes, royalty included.
Lin Wang and the founding Emperor of the Kingdom went way back. They had a great relationship and they even swore an oath to the heavens to be sworn brothers. When the Kingdom of 'BEAKJE' was formed, the founding Emperor personally granted Kim Daewon a grand title, ‘Lin Wang’ which rendered him power almost akin to the royalty.
{Lin Wang : King of the Forest}
In the whole kingdom, it is one of the most revered places, even the current Emperor has to be courteous to them.
Lin Wang has two sons, however his extreme doting of his grandson Kim Taehyung has reached a pinnacle.
When Taehyung took a liking to the Second Prince, Lin Wang coerced the Emperor to have the Second Prince and his grandson betrothed.
However, this arrogant boy was now lying on some jagged rocks in such a sorry state, if not for Taehyung's soul, he would just be a dead body dumped in the wilderness.
Black Cat
[Both legs fractured, three broken ribs on the left side, dislocated right wrist...Falling from such a height, this body has miraculously survived.]
Another voice in the body of Kim Taehyung sounded, it was the familiar voice of the little black cat which accompanied him for more than a decade and surprisingly it was in the same body.
Kim Taehyung muttered as he lay on the rocks without any hint of pain on his face, as if the physical pain had nothing to do with him.
Black Cat
[Congratulations Master, you’ve escaped death once again.]
Black smoke seeped out from Kim Taehyung's chest and condensed into a little black cat, strutting at his side.
He survived a calamity however he was still hovering near death’s door.
Kim Taehyung felt his energy slowly seeping away as he shuddered from the torrential downpour which was raining down hard on his body.
He needed to find a place to shelter from the rain quickly before his body temperature drops further! Luckily, there was a cave under the low cliffs nearby.
Relying on his two hands and the sole thought of survival, he dragged himself in the direction of the cave.
His tattered clothes, soaked in sweat and drenched in the downpour, hung from his battered frame. Crimson blood trailed along the path from the wounds on his legs, washed away from the merciless rain hammering down upon the small crawling figure.
The little black cat gave occasional nudges as encouragement as they made their way towards the cave.
Having mustered every ounce of strength he had left in his frail body, although the distance wasn’t far, it was an enduring feat.
With such an amount of injuries and over a rough terrain, even those with high endurance would have fainted numerous times.
When he finally reached the dark cave, his face was deathly pale, void of any colour.
Huddled against the walls of the cold cave, finally free from the barrage of the rain, Taehyung let out a small sigh of relief. Suddenly a ghostly voice came from within that deep dark cave.
Black Cat
[Wh..Who is it?]
The black cat asked in a scared voice, body arched, as it lunged itself in front of Taehyung.
Kim Taehyung
Go take a look.
Taehyung choked out as he knew his current predicament. Alone in such an environment without any medical equipments, he's unable to carry out his own treatment hence he can only look for other possibilities.
Having another person around to help him would be best.
Leading the way, the little black cat inched closer towards the source of the sound. In the darkness, Taehyung felt the presence of another person.
..........
You’re about to die.
A masculine voice doused with a trace of playfulness came from above his head.

Chapter 3
Although Taehyung was unable to see the man’s appearance in the darkness, he could clearly hear familiar sounds of the metallic clanging of chains.
Kim Taehyung
"This man was chained? Beneath the depths of this desolate cliff?"
As soon as it heard the man’s voice, the little black cat immediately turned into a wisp of smoke and hurriedly fled into Taehyung's body. 'This man was dangerous!'
Kim Taehyung
You’re chained up?
Taehyung totally disregarded his tone of voice as his mind only echoed a single thought, this man can help him. All he needed was ......the man's freedom of movement.
..........
Ah? You mean these small things?
The man in the dark was pulling chains, a deep magnetic voice echoed in the dark caves,
Kim Taehyung
I’ll free you... but you’ll have to save me.
Taehyung stuttered as he struggled to get the words out. He was trembling from all the cold and pain. His body temperature was falling dangerously low and his battered body which was riddled with severe injuries wouldn’t hold up if he didn’t do anything soon.
The man in the dark kept quiet, he seemed surprised that this half dead boy would say such words.
Kim Taehyung
‘Silence means consent’
Taehyung self-reasoned as he had no other alternatives so he decided to gamble on this chance.
As Taehyung groped around in the darkness, he leaned on the man and pulled out a thin pin from his hair.
Taehyung was a doctor, not a thief. He had once performed this trick for himself, he wasn’t sure if he could pull it off.
Taehyung's little hands tried to reach for the chains as he fumbled around in the dark. From a doctor’s perspective, he could ‘feel’ that this man’s physique was exceptional.
Using his last shred energy, Taehyung attempted to free the man with his poor skills. He had never felt so clumsy in his life.
With all his toiling efforts, he finally unlocked one! This effort had left him breathing heavily as he struggled to keep his consciousness from fading.
..........
As per your wish.
The man finally spoke with an enigmatic deep smile, his deep masculine voice echoed throughout the cave.
Before Taehyung could even react, ‘click’... ‘click’... ‘click’, a series of broken metal sounded around him.
The man broke free from the other three shackles. Taehyung felt some warmth as the man pulled him into his arms and embraced him.
He gently lifted him up and carried him as he trudged along towards the light.
Outside, the rain continued to fall relentlessly.
Although the weather was gloomy, it was daytime and just this little light was enough to show off his exquisite face.
The man’s high cheekbones, perfectly accentuated his face along with his long satin hair casually draping down. As the crystal clear rainwater ran down his neck, it was God’s most outstanding work.
The man was looking up at the sky, when felt a gaze from Taehyung, he lowered his head slightly, violet eyes slightly narrowed, his lips breaking into a smile.
Taehyung looked indifferently into that pair of purple eyes, without any trace of expression. The rain was falling on his pale cheeks as he calmly watched the man.
The man raised his eyebrow slightly. Taehyung's unusually calm demeanor was a refreshing reaction.
This is the first time someone didn’t scream and panic when they saw his eyes.
..........
Aren’t you afraid?
He asked in his deep husky voice.
Kim Taehyung
I’m about to die.
Taehyung reminded him matter-of-factly. His dark eyes, looked deeply into that pair of purple eyes, without any hint of desperation or fear, but rather with a clear gaze, as though the death he was talking about wasn’t his own.
