HIKAYAR TAJIRI DA IFIRITU

About this Novel

In ancient times, within a sprawling city, there lived an exceptionally wealthy man known for his benevolence and compassion towards the less fortunate. His acts of kindness were well-known throughout the city. One day, this affluent man decided to venture beyond the city's limits for a solitary stroll to enjoy the refreshing outdoor air. He paused to rest beneath a cool, shady tree and began to unpack his provisions—bread, dates, and a flask of water—for a quick meal before resuming his journey. After finishing the bread, he reached for some dates, and it was at this moment that a strange encounter occurred. As he was consuming the dates, he noticed an ominous figure emerging from the shadows. This figure was an Ifrit, a demon, towering in stature like a plum tree, with fiery red eyes that glowed like burning coals. In his hand, he brandished a formidable sword and confronted the rich man, accusing him of causing the death of his son. The wealthy man was taken aback and inquired, "How did I cause the death of your son?" The Ifrit responded, "When you ate a date and discarded the pit, it struck my son in the chest, and he fell to his demise.
