Chapter 3: Requirement to Open the Grimoire
Then Mikhail feels his head assaulted by an incredible headache. Mikhail groaning in pain and fall down to his feet.
"Argh…. Myyy headdd…. Feels like splitting… Ahhhh" Mikhail rolling on the ground in pain. When he stopped his face paled in horror. The old book is already in front of his face. If he could choose, he would prefer to be eaten by the giant werewolf rather than dying like this.
If he died like this and his ancestor asked him how to die at underworld later how could he answer that? Saying he died because throwing an old book away? His ancestor probably laughed to death if he answered like that.
*TING* Penalty duration 11:56:14
The message sent to Mikhail's mind again. So there is the time duration for the penalty as well. At least there is some hope. The old book giving penalty with some duration means it didn't mean to kill him but only punished him.
The pain is really unbelievable but for some reason, he can't fall unconscious like some kind of law preventing that to happen and also restricting his movement. Mikhail gritted his teeth and endured the pain for 12 hours. His eyes turned watery and cold sweat pour out nonstop from his forehead. After that, the pain is gone and Mikhail falls asleep because of exhaustion.
Mikhail awakened at afternoon and the old book is still beside him. Mikhail took the old book and inspect it carefully and while thinking. The first clue is the message saying something about grimoire. The second clue is Mikhail can't throw it away. So this grimoire probably already bonded with him. All that left to do is find a way to use it or at least open it first.
In the game, if something can't be opened then it is mean there must be some mechanism or lock in it. He already inspected the book has no lock and no mechanism at all. Only one possibility left, magic words lock.
"Open Sesame…" Mikhail chanted while holding the old book. But no reaction.
"Sigh… It's usually worked… "
"Abracadabra…. "
"Alakazam… "
"Hocus Pocus… "
"Sim Sala Bim… "
Shazam…" Mikhail began chanting all magic words in the game that he knows but the book didn't have any reaction.
"Sh*t… Is there something wrong with my analysis? It shouldn't be… " Mikhail hold his glabella while thinking again.
"If the magic word is something I don't know then…. No, that's impossible. In that case, it should not be bounded with me in the first place." After thinking for so long to found some option and discard all the impossible option. Mikhail is left with only one option.
"It should not be it, right??? When there is no loss in trying it." Mikhail staring at the old book with weird expression.
Mikhail put the book and retreating 3 step then he began kowtowing to the old book.
"Exalted Grimoire, please forgive me for being ungrateful ba*tard and impolite to you." Mikhail kowtowed three times.
*TING*
Grimoire forgives you for being ignorant after you apologizing sincerely.
Eh… It worked. Mikhail nearly coughed out blood. He thinking so hard and try so many magic words. In the end, this grimoire only pouted with his behavior for throwing it out.
"Exalted grimoire, could this humble one know how to open you?" Mikhail asked grimoire.
*TING*
The requirement to open the grimoire :
1. Get three origin cores.
2. Put them at the top of the grimoire.
3. Drop some of your blood to it.
Mikhail scratch his head and asked again "What the origin core is?"
*TING*
Origin Core
Description: Source of the strength of all origin beast. All the origin beast have it in its body but the location is varying for each species.
Mikhail nearly collapsed when he read that. Did this grimoire want him, the powerless NEET to beat that giant werewolf just now three times and get three origin cores just to open the grimoire?
Aren't usually in the novel or in-game the grimoire give the owner unmatchable power right away at the first touch to kill all his enemies? Where you could find a damn insane grimoire like this, that punishing the owner at the first contact and now demand him to get items from the boss tier monster moreover three of it without giving any power at all.
*TING*
Warning! 1 of 3 to get the penalty.
The grimoire detected you mocked it.
"God just killed me already… Why mocking me like this…" Mikhail cried while facing the sky.
