Just a book cover~
and.. a list of novels you might be interested in~

The wind started to turn into a mild breeze which softly caressed Yeon's delicate, pale face. The sun was setting and the sky was a beautiful mixture of dark blue and pink, even some dim stars made their appearance in the sky. Now Yeon has finally arrived at the hut and looked at it with loving eyes. The hut was quite small but big enough for two people, the outside was adorned with climbing wild vines and white roses were growing down the roof. There was a small vegetable garden next to the hut which was fenced off, there was smoke coming out of the huts chimney and as Yeon looked through the window she could she the elderly lady sitting next to the fire keeping her little frail body warm from the mild breeze creeping through the cracks of the walls and doors. 

After admiring their little hut Yeon stepped inside and went to her room. Her room was very... unique, there were loads of different ornaments hanging on her ceiling and tons of ancient scripture research papers scattered across the floor. There was a wilting plant in the corner of her room and her small wooden oak bed was placed under a large window. Moving some of the scattered papers on her desk to the ground, Yeon placed the old book she had received onto the table, got out a note book, feather and ink. "This May take some time..." Yeon bit her lower lip as she inspected the front cover of the book, it was brown in color but in some areas it looked as if the book was plated gold. The title of the book said "power of the 3 mystical beings". 

Before reading the book itself Yeon rummaged through her drawers to look for her cleaning and polishing equipment. Yeon gently grabbed the book front cover and with a small cotton ball, dipped in some herbal mixture solution, she started wiping away the brown color of the front cover. Several minutes passed until she finally got rid of that horrendous brown color.
Now the book had golden spots in some areas but the main overall color was yellow. Yeon grabbed the polishing equipment and started fiddling around with the front cover trying to refine the cover to the best of her abilities, as she wanted to restore the books beauty. After what seemed like a whole decade, she was snake to restore the front cover to its former self. 

Now she could clearly see the front cover... it was magnificent! It truly was plated in gold, the title was green and was written beautifully. But there was something that had made its appeared after Yeon had cleaned the cover. In the center of the cover there were 3 animals which were painted in the middle. One was a great large dragon and under it were the words "dragon king", then there was a picture of a Phoenix and under it was the word "Phoenix" And lastly there was a stunning white and gold striped nine-takes fox and similarly to the others the words "nine tailed fox" was visible

Jae hwa was once known for her devilish beauty, wisdom, strength and personality... you could say that she was perfection! Brought up in the fire city which was the main land, the most dangerous-dark and mysterious as well as the most prosperous of all cities; Jae hwa had unfortunately uncovered a secret that should have been sealed for eternity. Now that she has gone missing, is she dead? Or will she come back to fulfill her destiny? And whom will she meet along the way if she is still alive? Perhaps the man or men or her dreams will appear next to her on her journey or in heaven...

The book was ancient, it had a prestigious look, what made Zyraxes the most interested about it was the symbol on the front. Once again it was the one which was found on the walls. This was something which Zyraxes didn't know about, he heard tales about how the Dawnblade family used to be a noble family with the backing of 'The Emperor of Knights' and the royal family.
This was many years ago, this was due to the Dawnblades being officers within the army and not because of some god slaying book. Zyraxes thought this was a joke, this must have been a rubbish book the person in the grave wrote.
Zyraxes took all of the books, he had put some of them in a little pouch. However, most of them didn't fit. He had taken only the ones which seemed important, "The Tale of Ser Ainsley Silverstorm", "Flowers of the Planes of Death", "1001 Recipes for a Wedding" - All useless books which he held no need, he didn't see why they were together with such books. However, this was Zyraxes treasure, he had buried all these books next to the coffin, he knew that one day he could come and take them since they are now his belongings.
He engraved this location to his mind, he knew he once had to return it, find the secret meaning of why this was here but for now, he had to finish off his quest. He walked out of the hole he had previously made, he carried on walking around the ruin for a few hours, there were no changes from the report he had read about these ruins, he finally exited the ruin. He had set out at sunrise, however, the sun was now setting.
Right outside the entrance of the ruin, he started a small fire, the fire was used to light up a piece of paper which Zyraxes was currently writing on, he followed the same scheme as the report he had read while walking. He included some minor changes such as fallen walls, however, he did not say about anything which was inside the room he was in. On this day he had walked out with a few items, he had gathered all of the books but that wasn't all. He had even found some gold coins on the ground and between graves.
Zyraxes finished up writing the report, he was getting ready to go to sleep. The light was slowly going dimmer, it wasn't as light before and you could only see a small area by the fire. He was laying there, he had his eyes closed. However, he couldn't stop thinking about what was in his pouch.
"How to bring down the gods"
He carried on thinking about it, he kept opening his eyes and checking if the book is there. Every few seconds, he checked his pouch and the book was there. He finally gave in. He had found some logs he had prepared for a longer time period of being up and put more logs into the fire. He leaned up against a tree next to him for support on his back.
The leather front was glaring at him, he was inspecting the emblem still. It is something he had always ignored and yet he was faced by it from a book in an ancient crypt. He took a deep breath and went to open the book. His fings were definitely holding on to the cover and dragging it up. There was no movement, with all his strength he pulled up. Yet there was nothing.
Zyraxes eyes had a glare in them, he knew this was something to keep unwanted people out, could he have been one of them? But there was a shake under his armour, the gold around his neck started to rotate. The back came undone and it went up in the air. The glowing gem was as bright as it has ever been and it landed on the emblem at the cover of the book. The emblem had litten up in a colour just like a rising sun and the book opened. Zyraxes could finally lift the cover, on the inside was a small note. "My name is William Brightblade, at the time of writing this it's the 15th year of the Zyllen calendar. This book has the contents of ancient arts of slaying gods. I'm leaving this with me as I leave for the divine realm where gods reside, we will be going on a holy war against the gods for the supreme being Zyllen. If you are reading this, you must be a child of the Dawnblades. The legacy may be lost, but the proud god slayers will never die out. This book contains the families most important arts which I will be taking with me to the grave. Within are my other possessions which you need to find and, information on how the Dawnblades used to be the most powerful people in the realms. I wish luck to the future generations as we go to wage the final war."
Zyraxes didn't know what to think, he had just learnt that his family used to wage wars with the gods? Also the Zyllen calendar? He had never even heard of it. He was confused. He carried on skimming through the pages. "Dragonslayer arts chapter 1", "Forging a weapon to slay gods", "Weaknesses of gods", "Entering the divine realm". The book contained information about everything. Zyraxes didn't know what had just fallen in his hands. He wanted to carry on reading but he knew that it wasn't safe to in the middle of a forest. Inside the book were also a few small items. Three rings, a chain and bracelet with the emblem of the Dawnblades.
Zyraxes took the gem off the book which closed the book shut again, he left everything as it was and kept the book in his laps as he went to sleep.

Another puny quest for a puny student, a small ruin which was abandoned long ago could never hide anything, however, this may change the fate for someone when they uncover ancient arts of killing all the gods and alike. What will these powers be used for? And how will the world change with these powers?

"I'm sorry I don't know the guest already arrive. Let me introduce myself, and My name is Mr.Black, nice to meet you."

Mr.Black walked toward them before offer his hand that Yu grab for a handshake.

"My name is Yu Shimada, and this is my Wifes and daughter, The one with a purple dress is Medea of Colchis, to her right is Ophis the Infinite Dragon and to my left is Yasaka Yokai Queen."
"Ohh, you are the one that Zelretch always talks about, huh? The one from another universe?"
"Ohh, Zelretch talking about us?"
"Yes, He talks about you guys when he explains to me what is True Magic."
"I see."

As Mr.Black explaining how he able to know they are from another universe, They able to hear loud Growl coming from Ophis, who are looking at the food in front of her with a little bit of droll in her mouth.

Yu was seeing Ophis chuckle a little and apologize to Mr.Black before saying.

"Look like my wife already hungry. I'm sorry, Mr.Black, but can we eat first before continuing our conversation?" Yu asked Mr.Black politely
"Sure, let us eat first."

They then began to eat after Mr.Black sit down and eat. After they eat, Mr.Black and Yu, continue their conversation while the Girls have their Conversation with Henchgirl and The Doctor.

"Yu-san, what it's like to live in your Universe."

Yu surprised hearing Mr.Black talk with fluent Japanese instead of English he used before.

"Mr.Black, you can speak Japanese?"
"Japanese? Ahh, it's a little Magic that some shopkeeper give to me."
"I see, and for your Question well, there is nothing special just the same as another Universe, nothing too special."
"I see, is there any different from this Universe to yours?"
"Well, I guess you could say that in here The age of Gods already passing but in our Universe is not yet Passing."
"Age of Gods?"
"Ahh, there is 3 stage of age in some universe, the First age is 'The Age of Begining' like the name implies in that ages is the time where there is no Sentient being just Animal and Plant, The Age of Gods is the time where the Gods began to born from the faith or Nature around them and then create a Divine Spirit"

Yu explains to Mr.Black about the Age before the Age of Humanity.

"And the last Age?"
"The last one is The Age of Humanity. Where the gods already moving to another side of the world or Died because of the lack of Faith from their worshipper."
"I see."

While Yu and Mr.Black chatting each other talking about the universe they live, The door opened and showed the Women already finished their conversation. Still, the one that takes Yu's attention is Medea, who has many books floating behind her.

"What is that, Medea?" Yu asked Medea
"Ahh, Yu, can you store this book inside the Gate?"
"Sure, but what kind of book is that?"
"Well, this book is about Ward the same with that and that"

Medea said while pointing toward five books with Blue Cover.

"And this one is about Potion while that one is about Animagus."

Medea pointing toward a group of books with Green Cover and Black cover

"Henchgirl said that I must have Mr.Black permission if I want to copy it," Medea said

Mr.Black who is hearing it then said

"Go ahead, but please don't take the original because it was my Family books, so I don't want to lose it."

After Mr.Black say it Medea and Henchgirl go toward the Library and comeback a few Second later with more books Floating behind Medea.

"Thank you, Mr.Black, for allowing me to Copy your books."
"It is okay, and even I can't read all of them, so its good for other people to read it."

Yu then take the book and store it inside the Gate of Babylon, Yu then got an Idea to thanks Mr.Black for the book Medea want and Enlarge his collection of Books inside his Gate of Babylon.

Gate of Babylon is the Treasury of Gilgamesh the richest King in history (Nasuverse) has all kind Books, Potion, Weapon that Human can think off.
It was surprising that some of the books are something that he doesn't have and can be classified as a Treasure of Humanity.

Yu who already make up his mind call Mr.Black who talking to the Professor

"Mr.Black"
"Yes, Yu?" Mr.Black said while look at him
"For giving me a piece of knowledge that worth of Humanity Treasure, I must reward you for it."
"Ahh, it is okay, Yu it was just a book."
"No, As a king, I must reward someone who willing to give a treasure that can be classified as Humanity Treasure."

Yu said that while releasing his Charisma in a full blast to them, To ordinary people, he was like a Divine being that descent to the Earth. Medea, Ophis, and Yasaka have a massive blush on their faces while Kunou and Valerie look toward Yu with and Awe. The one that most surprising is Mr.Black, Henchgirl, and The Professor who is kneeling on the ground.

"Then, I will accept it, my king."

Mr.Black said while kneeling, while he doesn't know why he kneels and calling Yu his King.

"Get up," Yu said

Yu said that while he deactivated his Charisma Skill After they get up, Yu open a Golden portal for them to walk in before speaking to them to get inside.

"Come, I will give your reward."

They then go inside his Gate of Babylon and follow Yu while walk passing many of Treasure that glistening as if it always been polished 24/7.

After walking for a few seconds, they arrive at a Massive Golden Gate, but if you look around, you will able to see that the Gate is a single object that not Protect anything or Connect anything.

Yu then raised his hand a little as if he wants to grab something, and coming out from nothing is Golden Object that looks like a Key.

Bab-ilu, Key of the King's Law, is a golden key-shaped sword that connects to the treasury, implied to be able to open any door so long as it has a lock.

While in Nasuverse Yu, see in his previous life Bab-ilu only Gilgamesh use when he unlocks his treasure that keeps Ea. Still, in reality, Bab-ilu is the ultimate key that able to open anything, including the Gate in front of them.

After grabbing the Key, Yu then push the Key toward the Gate then Twist it, a Second later loud sounds of Lock has been opened can be heard as the Gate opened and what they saw is a Library that as big as a Mansion that has three floors and books filling all of the room inside.

"Yu-san, this is..." Mr.Black said with a shocked expression
"This is The Library of Alexandria, the source of all knowledge in the world and the keeper of Forbidden Magic Humanity have"
"This is... That 'Library of Alexandria,' The real one?" The Professor said that out loud
"Yes, it is, Now if you want something just saying it and the book will appear near you."

They nodded and ready to explore the Library, including Medea, who is still looking at the library in wonder, but before they can explore the library, Yu called them.

"WAIT, before you go I must warn you something, some of the books is forbidden for some reason because they cant be read by a mere mortal especially Heavenly Host and Eldritch Truth, If I hear or feel one of you call that book I will punish you," Yu said with a stern expression.

Seeing they nodded, Yu let them explore the library, while Yu and Yasaka, who are not interest in reading at the moment, sit down on the couch in the corner of the room.
Seeing they will wait a little longer, Yu summons a Wine from his collection and 2 Golden Grail for both Him and Yasaka.

"Here you go, Yasaka."
"Thank you."

Yu then take a sip of it, even though he still underaged for Drinking a Wine he can't help it because he knows that this Wine is the Wine that Gilgamesh gets from his journey, The Wine that even Gods wan to drink.

As the wine touches his lip, the flavor of the wine explodes inside his mouth.
Sweet of Grape and a little bit of Bitterness that enchants its flavor, even more, a few seconds after he takes a sip of the wine, he feels his Body filled with Energy and his Mana core become purer than before.

Yasaka, who right now drinks all of them in one go after sipping it a little bit, after finishing it Yu able feel that Yasaka Chakra has a tremendous Boost from the Wine, she then sighed a little before saying.

"That was intense."

Yu then decided that his Best Wine from the Gate of Babylon is too Strong for them to drink casually, so Yu summons his 'Worst' Wine.

A few glasses of wine later, they greeted by The group that already finish exploring and bring the book they want.
The Professor decided that he want "discovery of the four (five) elements" and the "rediscovery of the three humors" by Paracelsus von Hohenheim.
Henchgirl wants Alchemy and Medicine Book that written by  Paracelsus von Hohenheim, too, while Mr.Black wants a book of True Magic and a Foundation of Magecraft written by Salomon the King of Magic.

Yu then look at Medea, who has a lot of books floating behind her, Yu, who is seeing her chuckle a little before saying that she can read the book whenever she wants.

After saying that to Medea, Yu looked toward Henchgirl and asked her if she can Copy the book while he will keep the original.

A few seconds later, the group coming out from the Gate of Babylon, Yu, then asked Mr.Black if he knows where he can buy a tool for Vacation like a Tent or a magical pouch that able to hold their money while traveling.

"Well, I know the shop where you can buy your necessity for your travel, but do you have local money for it?"
"Ahh, can you show us where can we exchange some of the jewelry we have?"
"Well, there is a Gringott the bank in England where you can exchange your Jewelry there, and I can take you there if you want?"
"Thank you, and Yes, if it's not inconvenient to you."
"No, I want to the Gringott myself, so it is not inconvenient at all."

After saying that Yu and Mr.Black floo themself to the Diagon Alley, After a few seconds, they arrive at an Alley with many people busy shopping or Selling their stuff to the customer.

As they walked toward the bank, the street becomes quite, and the people make a path for them to walk. Yu able to hear many whispers about Mr.Black have a guest and taking him to the Gringott.

After a few seconds of walking, they arrive at a massive building. As they are going inside, they then waited in the line, but the people in front of them are always giving them their place to them until they become second in line.

"NEXT"

The Goblin shouted, So they walked forward, but as they walked toward the goblin, The teller gaping at Yu before walked in front of him and Kneel while saying.

"My King"

Yu, who shocked seeing the Goblin in front of him and on the front door, kneel to him, only able to say.

"What?"

I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad

Though the events that transpired a few minutes ago was intense and nerve-racking, the harmonious aura came back when they reached the bookstore.
Dandan carefully measured her boss' mood while they were walking towards the entrance and it seems that her boss has cooled down. She thanked all the gods and deities in this world that everything is back to normal again.
Once they were inside, Dandan excused herself so she can quickly pick the necessary items that the employees from the office wanted. She left her boss hanging around the fiction books section.
The bookstore was really crowded today so once Secretary Dandan has to queue, it'll take long before she could pay the office supplies she picked.
Xiulan's mood was serene again and everything that happened a while ago were swept away once she's inside the store. Bookstores are her happy place and it immediately alleviated her mood. She went to young adult fiction section to check the newest and trendiest books.
Since its young adult, it's full of romance and magic genre. The titles were all new to her and the stories seems promising.
Her attention was caught by the romance books with very vulgar covers in it. She liked the stories but the covers were quite distasteful for her. She thought that books these days are not so discreet in hiding what's inside. She remembered the books twenty years ago would have plain cover designs and people wouldn't actually know the book is erotic unless they read it. But now, these provocative book covers are exposed to children.
While she criticize each of the books' cover, she took her time reading each of the synopsis at the back as well. She seems to be so engross in reading them that she was not aware that some aunties inside the bookstore were gossiping about her.
"Is that Mrs. Xing? She's so tiny..."
"It's my first time seeing her in person. She's very pretty but she lacks height. Her dress is so pretty though!"
"The contrast of Hongqi's ex-girlfriends vs Mrs. Xing are too big! I'm pretty sure Hongqi has a tall, beautiful, model side chick."
"I am going to bet a slut could snatch Xing Hongqi from this woman. She's pretty but there are far more beautiful and sexier women."
"Look at her height, OMG!"
"Wow! Her waist is so small… but her height… err…"
"Hmph! She's not that pretty like what the people says!"
"Gong Yuming is prettier."
"Betting that they'll divorce this year. She's not that pretty like her husband's exes."
The constant degrading hush from the bystanders managed to catch Xiulan's attention. "Are they really gossiping about me, in front of me? I can't believe this. Are people really this boisterous in shaming someone?"
She had enough of this. When will people stop this kind of attacks on her? She can't just stand here and let them slander her like this. She could ignore this if it was a hearsay but they are slandering her in person. For some reason, the constant mention of her height irritated her so badly. Never ever criticized a woman's height in front of them.
Xiulan put down the book she was holding and coldly gazed at the gossiping women. She walked towards them with her high heels clacking so loudly. She stopped in front of them and savagely scolded them. "You women have a lot of free time to gossip about me. Instead of talking about my marriage and height, all of you should check on your husbands. A young, tall, beautiful girl might be with them right now."
The women gawked at her, they were all surprised by her words. They all thought she's meek and wouldn't even try to approach them. But here she is, standing in front of them with her thousand dollars dress, shoes and clear skin. They were embarrassed but they wanted to rebut to save face and bully her back but she's not finished in her scolding yet.
"And my short height doesn't undermine the continuous contributions I made for this country. What about you people? Is your gossiping helped the country's economy?"  Xiulan's perfectly plucked eyebrows were all way up. With her tiny height but amazing confidence, she intimidated these godforsaken gossipers.
The women were mummed and don't know how to answer back. They were just middle class people and a rich, upper class woman scolding them made them afraid to say something.
"I didn't know that Mrs. Xing has a lot of free time to scold people." A woman with very long fake eyelashes emerged. With her voice, she might be the person who mentioned Gong Yuming's name.
Xiulan lazily looked at this woman who appeared like a random mushroom, provoking her.  "Yes I have a lot of free time. What about it?" Xiulan rebutted and her eyebrows were still arched. It gave her a snobby and intimidating look.
The annoying woman scoffed. "Don't be cocky just because you are rich and married to Xing Hongqi. He can leave you anytime."
"Ad-hominem. Why is my husband being mentioned in this? So what if he leaves me? Am I not allowed to scold people who are slandering me? Hmm?" Xiulan was in the mood to scold people so she would continue this until Dandan is finished with her shopping. Hell, who cares about image now?
"People with class don't argue with people in public." The woman fought back.
"And who said that? Was it written in a manual on how to be classy?" Xiulan won't let this woman slide.
"You might be rich but your attitude stinks." The woman provoked. Her arguments were out of place.
"Judgmental. How come you say my attitude stinks when we've been only exchanging questions? I can't believe I am not allowed to scold people who slandered me." Xiulan bewilderingly asked. She doesn't get this woman's anger. She only scolded the gossipers but this woman is diverting the topic to something else.
"Just wait and your careful pure image will be trashed soon." The woman was about to leave since she doesn't know what to say anymore.
"I wouldn't mind that. Be careful on not losing your job too." Xiulan scoffed before she left the gossiping women and went to Dandan, who's busy in responding to the group chat with her co-employees regarding what to buy in the bookstore.
The woman halted her movements and nervously looked at Xiulan's retreating back. "She won't know my name and report it to my boss, right?"
"Dandan, aren't you finished yet?" Xiulan smiled at Dandan. Her face didn't display any irritation or negativity. It seems that she enjoyed the argument she had a while ago.
"Boss, I'll be next soon. You can wait in the car so you can relax." Dandan quickly answered. She was confused for a moment why the people surrounding them were looking at her boss quite differently.
"Okay." Xiulan agreed but before she leaves the place, she picked a book that has caught her eye a while ago and gave it to Dandan. "Add this to your cart. I want to read it tonight."
Xiulan left and went to rest inside the car.
Dandan confusedly took the book and stared at it. The title was "The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera" with a dog doodle on the book cover. Dandan thought it was a harmless novel but when she read the synopsis at the back, she can't help but question if her boss' marriage is currently on the rocks.


Song Xiulan's parents doted on her so much that they would even find the best bachelor out there to be her husband.

They were eyeing Xing Hongqi, a very respectable man and the most powerful in S and T city. But he is also a notorious player and womanizer.

Xiulan's parents believed that their impeccable daughter can change a man like Hongqi. 

Xiulan was willing to follow whatever her parents planned for her. But marrying a womanizer seemed too extreme. 

Now that she met the man and people around her seem to worship him and talk about his dirty laundries like it was fine. 

Xiulan is now conflicted about whether she should obey her parents or this time follow her common sense that marrying a womanizer is not fine!

But she suddenly finds out a secret that hinders her from not marrying him.



Note: The image is not mine. Original image from Pinterest.

The sight in front of her making remembers something that she never wants to remember. The ancient records that she stumbles upon by accident. Since the ancient era to this day, there is very little record about a profession that many do not know about. It is Formation master, and there is a hearsay that the Formation master can easily kill a group of experts if they were to fall into his/her formation.

Vernora feels a bit accomplish now for being a princess in her kingdom that she had never felt it before since she grew up; she looks at the sight in front of her with pondering expression. In the palace library, almost every bookshelf that records about this world, she had read all of them. Until one day that there is nothing left in the library for her to read, she started to search the entire place to find something to help her relieve the boredom.

------------

At that time she is only ten years old, so it is a bit hard to browse the entire place without missing something. 

There is a secret door happened to open by itself because the trigger triggered when she tried to search for anything left that she had not read yet. After entering through the secret door, the room is completed with darkness and the door of the secret room starts to close itself automatically, which almost makes her wet her pants at the time. With the is light suddenly lift, but toward her surprise, there are only two books and a sealed box in there. Her expectation for many books to have existed inside becomes an illusion all of a sudden.

Vernora only walks for a few steps, and she choked herself nonstop because there is dust everywhere in the room. The only explanation for this, that there is no one had ever entered here beside her and the master of this room for a very long time. Although there are only a few books, she very was curious about them. Why would there be a secret room in the library in the first place? But at that time she could not continue to read the book or explore there because of the candlelight run out, so she decided to come back later to continue her exploration of the secret room.

Little Vernora saved as many candles as possible by not lift her chamber at night for many days. After everything had been prepared, she went there again with expectations. Seeing that no one has followed her, Vernora little face becomes blossom with a smile. The awaiting day for the secret books inside the room finally reveals to her.

However, after cleaning up the dust that covers the table and the bookshelf, her happy smiling face soon becomes angry instead. She feels that she is being cheated by the master of this room. Why? It was because of the first book is a daily of the master of this room. Even though the writing is a bit different from present-day writing, but she can understand most of it.

"On year one, three moons of the Light Wind calendar.
This is my coronation as a king of this Kingdom. Also, it is my coming age ceremony day as my beautiful wife is waiting for me in our chamber."

"..."

"Today the weather is good, the clear sky here is better than our country. I went to an underground auction house yesterday, and many things brought me a big surprise. I have spent almost all of my life saving to buy a detailed and colorful picture book. This is my lifetime biggest pride. If you are my descendant and happened to be able to enter here, that means we were connected with fate. But you have to promise that you will never show this book to anyone else, or there might be a bloodbath of war over it."

Vernora angry face replaces with delightful again, because the book that she is going to uncover the sealed box will be a treasure.

The second book that Vernora currently reading was full of mystery, as they are many parts that she doesn't understand. The language of the book itself is mysterious for her. But, she can understand some pictures in the book. Because she has seen it before from their castle, the defend tower. 

The sealed box that contains her treasure, it will be her treasure. Because she will never show it to her royal father or royal brother.

Vernora holds her breath as she tries to uncover the sealed box with extreme care because she is afraid her expectation will be waste if she unseals it directly. She wants to know what kind of book that her ancestor strongly warning to not show to the public.

As she lifts the lid of the sealed box to uncover it, she feels her hand become heavy than usual. Because whatever it is inside this box, it might be brought catastrophe to the world. Vernora closes her eyes and moves her little hands in very slow motion. She is afraid that she might damage the book inside the box, as her first ancestor era is already over for more than a thousand years. 

Vernora slowly opens her little eyes with a face full of expectation, the first characters at the top of the picture book is an unknown character to her. Because the writing of the character is in bold, but it is not likely handwriting at all. Vernora almost doesn't believe her eyes that there is such a kind of beautiful writing that exists in this world. From what she just sees even though it is only a glim of the upper part of the book, but this very book is already taking her expectation to the peak.

This book cover should be not made from a beast skin, it used completely different material to make for sure. What kind of existence that able to create such a masterpiece. She wanted to uncover this sealed box faster, but she doesn't want to spoil her exciting mood, too. She stops her hands' movement and free one of her hands to feel the texture of the book cover.

The smooth feeling of the texture from the only upper part of the book that is in her view. She feels delighted and hopeful to view the entire book. Her ancestor did not cheat her, because there is a record that the first ancestor is a playboy that had over 3000 concubines. Also, he is well known for being a cheater.

Vernora finally cannot hold her excitement back anymore, as she decides to continue to unseal the box. As the lid being moved slowly, she can see some content on the book cover. What making her surprise is that after the unknow bold characters there is the head of three females with a lifelike image being imprinted. 

How can someone draw such a lifelike image and coloring such beautiful ladies? The creator of this book must be a master in art and calligraphy. The beautiful lifelike hair color, their attraction eyes, and beautiful red lips. Although she can only see the three heads of these ladies in the picture, every one of them can make many men become head over heel with just wink.

As Vernora keeps going with her unsealing phase, she can see even their necks are very detailed beauty and not a single error of coloring. The more she uncovers the lid, the more she wants to know who is the creator of this book.

When the lid finally comes over these ladies' upper shoulders, Vernora seems to note that there is not even a single piece of clothes were on their shoulders beside a thin line of different colors. The lady on the left seemed to have two black lines over her shoulders. The lady in the mid seemed to have a white mini collar around her neck, and two white lines on both of her shoulders, too. And the lady on the right seems to only have a crossed purple line over her shoulders instead of being straight like the other two ladies.

The little Vernora decides to go all out with her phase all of a sudden. When the lid of the box unsealed, she can see very clearly that all of the lifelike pictures of these ladies. 

They are all wearing something that she had never seen before. And all the three ladies in the pictures had no shame at all because, besides the key place on their body, there is nothing covered their body. Vernora takes her small hands covering all her eyes and runs with all of her might to leave the secret room.

------------

----- Note -----

This my first fiction novel, please bear it with me.

When she opened both of her eyes, she's looking at the ceiling she doesn't know. The next thing she realized was a warmthness she can felt on her right hand.

(... Mom?)

She thought inside her mind when she noticed the middle-aged woman before her. The sky is dark it was a starless night as the moonlight is coming inside the room through the windows. On the white sheets, Runa is lying as she looked around.

(... Where am I?)

She asked that to herself. Next, she noticed that if her mother was in front of her, that meant she was on Japan. She tried to grip the hand that is holding her right hand. But, the power won't come out. She tried to talk, but moving her lips is all she can do.

She tried to put all of her power into her right hand, and it resulted with her finger moved a bit. But, her mother doesn't miss that small movement on her right-hand finger. Her body twitched as she noticed that her daughter just moved even for a bit.

Slowly, she raised her head to look at her daughter. The moment their eyes met, light's returned to her eyes as her tears falling down from it. Next, she gripped her daughter right hand as hard as she could.

"... Haruna?"

Runa tried to say something but, her voice wouldn't come out. Moving her mouth is all the thing she could do. And when her mother realized that Runa is conscious, it made her panic and tried to call the doctor. But, a bit power is holding her right hand and doesn't let go, as if saying "Don't go," and this made her realized what her daughter wants as she looked at Runa at her eyes.

Runa eyelids are already so heavy, that it can fall anytime. But she did her best to prevent that from happening as long as possible. Runa just staring blankly at her dear mother with a smiling face, just staring at each other eyes blankly. When she realized her limit is coming soon, Runa smiled, and move her lips.

Her voice still doesn't come out. But her mother understood what her daughter cute lips movements are trying to say as she smiled back at her daughter. Seeing that smile, Runa made a face she usually made when she goes to school.

"Okay, I'll welcome you with your favorite food later." Runa's mother with her motherly smile.

But Runa is already fell unconscious when she said so. It made her realized that all of this time her daughter is watching her, knowing her daughter may be she tried her best to accomplish something big, she thought. For Runa's mother, this short meeting gave her a lot of strength so she didn't make her daughter worry for her.

This meeting made her realized there's still a long way for her to become a good mother. "I shouldn't make my daughter worrying me like this," she thought inside her mind as she slaps both of her cheeks turned to red. But she can't help it, she kept on worrying her knowing her daughter personality.

"But that girl is easy to get lonely, I wonder if she's gonna be fine?"

But she throws away that thought as she reminded of what her daughter lips movements are trying to say.

"I'll be back soon mom, wait for me. 'huh?"

***

Pain, she can feel it on her back. Then, she opened both of her eyes to realize that she was inside the library. The first thing she realized after that is the tears at the tips of her eyes.

"I see."

She said it as she wipes the tears at the tips of her eyes with her sleeves. "So, I met my mom," she said inside her heart. Her meeting with her mom gave her strength, with this she can do things without any need to worry about her mother. Determined, she slaps both of her cheeks in the same way as her mother did, "There are many things I need to do," she thought...

(But first I have to do something to this mountain of a book.)

So she takes the book 1 by 1 trying to turn the book to its shelf, just to realize that Shizuku is right beside her the whole time. But, for some reason, she doesn't get surprised by her, she's blankly looking at Shizuku.

"... What's with that boring reaction? Even though I was hoping to see your surprised face." Shizuku said with a face of disappointment.
"Haha, I don't know why too but, I don't have the urge to get surprised just now."
"What kind of reasoning is that?"

Runa said it with a wryly smile. And move her hand back to work,

"Just now... What are you dreaming about?"

It was Shizuku with a face full of curiosity. this made Runa looked at Shizuku with a face as if she expected this.

"So you were watching the whole time?"
"Nn, I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay." she paused for a moment, then take a glance at Shizuku, "I just, dreamed about my mom."
"... Your mother?"
"Yeah," Runa replied as she keeps her hands moving to arrange the book.
"I see." she stops asking, thinking it would be rude to ask any further.

She takes one of the books, the book title is The Endless War. When she opened the book to see what's inside, It was the record of the battle inside this endless war between human and devil. The cover of the book is a man in knight armor, and a devil fighting each other. By the human side, there is a light beside them as if supporting them. And by the devil side, there is darkness beside them, supporting them. The cover catch Shizuku eyes and she stared at it for a moment.

"Hey, Runa," Shizuku said as she keeps looking at the book cover.
"Yeah?"

Runa replied as she looked at Shizuku.
The moonlight that shone through the window illuminates her. It seemed like there was a halo around her glossy black hair, she looked like an angel. Without any deep feelings, Runa was fascinated with Shizuku's softness. He recovered herself when she heard Shizuku place down the book.

"It's about the trip into the dungeon tomorrow. I want you to stay here. I will persuade Brian-san and the others. So, please!"

She looked straight to Runa eyes as she pleaded. Runa was perplexed. Even Runa is useless, wasn't this a little too much?

"Um, what's this suddenly Shizuku? I'm aware of how useless I am in combat but, I'll think of another way to contribute to the party."
"Are you really saying that someone that can see through the camouflaged Treant useless?" Said Shizuku as she taped the book with one of her finger.
"Then what is it?"
"I'm aware this is weird. But I can't throw this feeling of mine aside." Shizuku said it with a serious face,

And this only made Runa think of something that shouldn't be done among two girls.

"I had this terrible feeling." She paused for a moment, and this phrase made Runa signed in relieve, "When I was sleeping in my room earlier, I was dreaming and you were there. When I called out to you, you did not even notice. When I chase you, I never caught up. At the end..."

Runa could saw her worried expression, and her bitting her lips.

"You disappeared."
"I see."

They sat in silence. It really was an ominous dream, but it was just a dream. With just that, they wouldn't permit a hero to stay. And she can't tell what kind of problem would come if she were to be permitted. She had no choice but to go. To reassure Shizuku, Runa spoke as gently as possible.

"A dream is just a dream, Shizuku. We have Brian and his veteran comrade with us. A lot of strong people like you, Arata, And Yamato are coming with us. Rather, our whole party is amazing. Actually, I feel sorry for the enemies. Maybe the reason for the dream you had is because you see my desperate face when we go home from the dungeon."

Shizuku just stared at Runa with an anxious expression while she spoke.

"Even so, I'm still worried."
"Then." Runa paused for a moment with her cheeks somewhat blushing, but she stared straight into Shizuku eyes. "Will you become my sword?"
"Eh!?"

She was aware of what she's saying, and as a person, she's feeling this shameful feeling from saying a line that's so chuuni-ish. Her face is already red with shame. In the room that was illuminated with the moonlight. Shizuku understood the situation well.

"You are a damage dealer right? Swordsman is a class that fights at the front line. No matter what, as long as you clear the path I'll be able to stand beside you with a smile. So, will protect me with your sword? If so, I believe I'll be fine." 

Shizuku just stared at Runa for a hile. Runa just desperately enduring the shame she felt as she kept her eyes from breaking contact with Shizuku's. Even though her body is writhing.

The biggest cause of person insecurity is the unknown. Shizuku right now is worrying about what could happen to Runa. So, it would be soothing, if they had the confidence to face the unknown.

For a while, they stared at each other. The silence was broken when Shizuku smiled.

"... Runa."
"Yes?"
"Are you always saying this embarrassing line when people worrying about you?"
"Ugh.. Shut up! I'm aware of it."
"That's why the girl called you with Onee-sama you know?"
"I know!!! I'm aware of it. so stop making me recall the things I don't want to remember."
"But..." Shizuku paused for a moment, with an angelic smile she said. "Thanks for giving me the confidence to face my worry."

Looking at her smile, Runa responded with a gentle smile as she said.

"You're welcome."

One day, Haruna got into an accident. The moment she opened her eyes she was in a cliched white room, There she met someone that proclaimed himself as a god. The god force her to travel to seven different worlds with choices save the world, or destroy it. Yet all the seven worlds were not as simple as she thought. A world where sword and magic are dominant, and fearsome wars between humans and devils rage throughout the land.

It was up to Haruna whether to Prevent the world from destruction or to destroy it with both of her hand.

[Divine Blacksmith]

These two words were simple by themselves but together they seemed to contain a mysterious power and these weren't just Lowen's thoughts either, the book seemed to be emanating a low undulating force of some kind. 

Lowen's hand carefully slid against the cover before he gave Sid a knowing look. Sid nodded his head with a gleeful smile.

"Go ahead, take a look, hehehe."

Lowen slowly turned open the cover, looking at the title, he read the words in his mind.

 [The Beginning]

Lowen had to admit he was slightly disappointed with the naming of the first page or rather he felt it was a little anti-climatic given the cover's title but as he continued to read on, this first paragraph caught his interest.



---------------------------------------------------------------------
 [The Beginning]

An ancient power awakened within and a terror consumed me. For centuries chaos reigned within my mind and for those 723 years, I slaughtered uncontrollably. I slaughtered the Mages and the Demons, I slaughtered the Dragons, Elves, and Dwarves. Whether they were the weak Humans or the ancient and powerful Titans, I cleaved my way through them by the millions. Below me, an ocean of blood had formed and behind me, a sky of black death followed. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------



Lowen wanted to read more of the chapter but the rest of it was left completely blank. Lowen's brows scrunched together as he curiously began flipping over page after page. He was now interested in this person's story but surprisingly, every page he flipped open was left completely blank. Lowen looked up at Sid but Sid just gave him a nod to continue so Lowen did. Lowen began to flip the pages faster and faster until finally, after 40 or 50 pages, some more words finally appeared. 

[Chapter #1 Basic Metals]

Scanning the chapter below, it was filled with all kinds of different information on metals and recipes. It talked about where to find these basic metals as well as their weight, melting point, smelting time and so on and so forth but there was no more mention of the person from the beginning.

(What is this?)

Lowen continued to flip through the entire chapter, seeing that everything was there, he then went to the next chapter and then the next. Everything was there except those first 40 or 50 pages. He wanted to flip through the entire tome but Sid was getting annoyed. With a small gesture of the hand, the large book slammed shut.

*Thud*

A small cloud of dust flew into the air before it slowly fell back down onto the book.

This action almost caused Lowen to jump, he had been completely engrossed trying to see everything he could, only to have it suddenly slam shut. He looked at Sid with annoyance.

"How can I judge this books worth if you don't allow me to see it?"

Sid, however, felt as though he were wronged.

"Hmph, so I should just show you every single page, doesn't this book become worthless after that?"

Lowen couldn't be bothered to argue with the man, instead, he wondered about that person from the book.

"Anyway, who was that person from the beginning of this book?"

Right after he asked that, even though Sid still wore the blindfold, Lowen could tell he had a confused expression on his face.

"What?"

"The book, who was the person that slaughtered so many an ocean of blood formed. Was it a man or a woman and what happened afterward?"

Once more Sid was unsure of what Lowen was talking about.

"What the hell are you saying, man, woman, an ocean of blood, your not making any sense."

Lowen was starting to become heated with this stupid old man's games, he opened the book and as he pointed angrily at that first page, he shouted.

"This right here, what happened afterword? Why was..." 

But before he could finish his sentence, he was immediately left dumbfounded. The words, as well as that short paragraph, had vanished. Flipping the page back and forth, Lowen couldn't find the missing paragraph no matter what. Seeing this, it was Sid's turn to become upset. He immediately shoved Lowen aside and screamed at him.

"Stop messing with it, you'll ruin it, you little cretin."

Sid quickly began to inspect this old book looking for any signs of damage, fortunately, there were none.

Lowen didn't become upset after he was shoved away, he was only left with question after question. He had clearly seen what was written, so how could it just be gone and how has this Sid never seen it, how long has he had this book and where did it come from, nothing made any sense. Lowen looked back at Nia and Ben to see if they had witnessed what he read but they were still crouched down behind him. They were no longer under the influence of Sid's eyes but when that book came out, neither of them had any interest. For people like them who couldn't read or write, a book was simply useless to them. Maybe if they were cold, they could use it for a fire but beyond that, they had no reason to see scribbles which neither of them could understand.

*Sigh*

"Nevermind what I said, I was simply confused about something else. Tell me, where did you get this book?"

Sid stopped inspecting his book and stood straight with his chin up and his chest out, his body emanated with pride as he laughingly said.

"Hehehe, this is a family heirloom, its been in my family for centuries."

"Oh so then who wrote it?"

Lowen's question put Sid in an awkward situation, he began to think and ponder for a while but in the end, he really had no clue. Shrugging his shoulders he said.

"Hehe, I don't actually know, when I got it I was only a child no bigger than you are now. At the time I was only told its been in the family for hundreds of years, beyond that, hehe, I'm unsure."

(So nothing has been answered, why did I even bother to ask. Does this man actually have any useful information for me? Wait a second.)

"Wait, you said you were given this book as a child right?"

"Yea so."

"So then how the hell did you carry this thing around with you? Don't tell me you could actually control statues even when you were that young."

Sid began to laugh loudly again, once more he felt good knowing something some else didn't. He pointed at the excessively large book and in a clear loud voice, he said.

"Shrink."

Following that, the title on the book, the two words [Divine Blacksmith] began to glow with a golden luster, as it did, the book astonishingly began to shrink. It's size immediately halved before it once more shrunk down by half. After only a few seconds, the two words on the front of the book stopped glowing and the book shrunk no more. It was now no longer its former behemoth self but instead a small petite book. It was even slightly smaller than your average sized book, perfect for a child's hands. 

Lowen went to pick it up only for Sid to immediately snatch it away. He shook his finger at Lowen mischievously.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you want my book, then its time for that wager. So is it a bet or not? Hehe."

Lowen pretty much knew exactly what game they would play, at this point he was only curious about one more thing.

"I'll gladly take that wager but how can you be so willing to bet a family heirloom, does it mean nothing to you?"

Sid scoffed at Lowen's statement.

"What would you know, of course, it's precious to me. It's just that when it comes to this book I've already read through it cover to cover. I've memorized it all and there's absolutely nothing in here that I don't already know. So if I already know it, why then should I keep it lying around collecting dust.

Although Sid said this, he didn't actually wish to lose it, it was just that he was so confident he felt there was no way he could possibly lose. Lowen, on the other hand, could only laugh in his mind. 

(He claims he knows everything about this book yet he's never seen or heard of that person's story. Hmm, it seems this book has an affinity with me, it revealed itself to me and not to him even though it's his family heirloom, why?)

Lowen thought about the book, besides that mysterious person and the disappearing words it did have an incredible amount of detailed information. Just from some quick exploratory scanning, Lowen could see the potential within. He had noticed several chapters on forging tools, weapons and even armor solely for Mages. If he could make such creations then who knew what his future possibilities were. Strength, wealth, power, at that point what could the world deny him, at that point, who in the world could stop him.

"Ok then it's a bet, I have the perfect game in mind."

"Tell me."

Lowen had been thinking it over for a while now and he came up with a simple guessing game. He would use Sid's most powerful attribute against him and by allowing Sid to use his best talent, then when Sid lost, there would be no denying it.

"It's actually rather simple, you will close your eyes while I go outside and gather a single object. While I'm outside you cant use your earth energy to see what it is. If you do, ill sense it and you'll be disqualified and lose immediately. After I bring this object in, ill then hold it in my hand and close it, you can then use your earth sensing abilities. You get one guess, If you can guess the object in my hand then it's your win and my loss but if you don't, then the match is mine, so what do you say?"

Sid's body was trembling with joy, he had no clue what game this child wanted to play and yet, in the end, it was a game using his best ability. With every fiber of his being, Sid held his laughter inside. With a slight grin on his face, he could barely nod his head in agreement.

Lowen wasted no time and darted outside like an arrow released from a bow. Grabbing an object from the ground, he suddenly heard loud humorous laughter filling the mountain, it seemed Sid could no longer contain himself and was laughing hysterically. Rolling his eyes, Lowen had already run back inside. Looking at Sid's uproarious laughter, Lowen no longer cared, instead, he just waited patiently.


Sid continued to laugh, it was several minutes before he could finally maintain some amount of a calm demeanor. Wiping away a few joyous tears, he looked at Lowen with pity.

"Are you ready old man?"

"Yes yes yes, let's start already, what's taking you so long, hehehe."

Lowen didn't even bother responding, instead, he held a closed right hand in front of Sid and calmly said.

"I have a single object within my hand. With your ability, it should be quite easy for you to tell what it is, right? If you can guess correctly then this game is yours, however, if you guess wrong...."

Lowen didn't finish his sentence, instead, he was watching Sid's face but just as he was looking at Sid, Sid's mood did a complete 180. He was concentrating intently at Lowen's right hand, now Sid's demeanor had completely changed, something wasn't right. The room grew quiet for several minutes. After every minute Sid seemed to have inched himself closer and closer until his face was literally right next to Lowen's hand. But still, there was no answer, finally, Sid grew impatient.

"You, what trick is this, what did you do?"

Lowen tilted his head quizzically.

"What do you mean?"

"Your hand, it's like a void, it's almost like its completely vanished."

"I assure you my hand and the object inside is still there. If you don't believe me then take off your blind and look."

Sid tore off his blindfold and stared sharply at Lowen's hand, sure enough, it was still there but still, Sid couldn't see inside at all no matter how much he used his earth sensing ability. It was as though there was nothing in Lowen's hand at all. This is something that should be impossible. Sid had just got done boasting about how he can see without sight and how dirt was everywhere and he could, therefore, sense and see it but looking at Lowen's hand, he was completely stumped.

"I...I don't understand."

Lowen wanted to smile so badly and put this guy down for once but if he enraged him, the impending fight would be difficult to overcome, instead, he would just win the bet modestly and then quickly leave.

"Are you going to guess or do you give up?" 

"No I don't give up, I'm going to guess, just, just give me a minute to think."

But even after a minute, nothing happened. Sid just continued to stare at Lowen's hand whilst mumbling to himself. His expression grew worse and worse as time ticked by. Finally, 30 minutes passed and Sid could no longer take it.

"You, you, I."

"Hmm, do you give up now?"

Sid looked at Lowen with bitterness, he knew he had lost, finally, he sighed and said.

"I...I lose."

Nia and Ben quickly hugged Lowen in warm embraces and shouted in joy.

"Yay, big bros the best, I knew you'd defeat this stinky old man."

Lowen and Nia's eyes darted to Sid after Ben's comments expecting to see anger but instead they were surprised, on Sid's face, what they saw was sadness and bitter confusion. Even now he was still trying to figure out what was in Lowen's hand. Before he could ask Lowen, Ben had already jumped ahead of him.

"Big bro big bro, so what is it, what do you got in your hand that even this smelly old fart can't see?"

This time Sid was getting angry, to him, Ben just wouldn't shut up. It seemed that every other word out of Ben's mouth was, a stinky old man this or smelly old man that. As his brows twitched in anger, he was about to slap this little kid named Ben. Lowen seeing this stood in front of Sid and with a wave of his hand gestured Sid to take a look. As Lowen slowly opened his hand, he revealed to Sid what seemed like the impossible.

Resting on Lowen's palm was a small pile of red dirt. Sid seeing this of course shouted in disbelief.

"WHAT!!!!!!!!"

In life I devoted myself to my King and my martial arts, giving up everything else: friends, family, love and even wealth. After death, I was reborn into a world filled with powerful beasts and chaos. Why can't I have it all on my second chance?

Few minutes later after the princess took off from the elevator, Mano changed his seat far away from people. There, he hid the pamphlet inside the historical book he was reading. He locked his left thumb onto the cover of the pamphlet and from the left side of the historical book, he began reading its content. 

Everheim Online – Powered by DreamLink
General Information – Glossary:
Classes, sub-classes, skills, weapons, and kingdoms. Location of monsters, mini-bosses, and main bosses. Maximum level is 999, starting from level 0.

Mano: "WTH? Is this even true?!"  - Mano was astonished from what he is reading. He cannot believe that a commoner like him will have this kind of information. This is more than a spoiler. For a normal person that doesn't even know what the game is like nor what to do after the logging in inside the game, he was already been given a huge heads up. He then check his surrounding if there are other people looking at him. Then sighed a long deep breath, with a pale expression. "Son of a bitch! This is a grave offense once people found out about this pamphlet, this could turn out to be a universal punishment that will cost my life! I better find another place to read this or it might get dangerous!" Said to himself. He hid the pamphlet inside his jeans and went to the bathroom. He then goes to the toilet room, locked it and starts reading the pamphlet once again. 

He stayed there for like 2 hours. After he finish reading the mini-book, he was dumbfounded. Like every other VRMMORPG game, Everheim Online also focus on character progressions, level ups, quest, grinding, hunting and boss raids. One of the feature Mano learned is that the gossip in which the game also has territorial warfare is also true. Kingdom vs Kingdoms, once a player reached Lv.50, he will have to choose a Kingdom he will sworn to protect. There is also a ranking system in which a player can go up to Noble Rank, which is the highest rank.  Sadly for Mano, he is not satisfied with just the Noble Rank. From other VRMMORPG he played he was always a leader, commander, sometimes a king. Upon reading the pamphlet more and more, he learned that the "Heads" can have the option to fight for the 'Succession' to be Kings and Queens in their respective regions. 

Mano now have the idea about the Everheim Online. First, HH and Royalties are advertising and announcing that the game's purpose is to preserve humanity's information for thousands of years. To keep the brain of each individual inside the ship and that they will have opportunities inside the game to change and start a new life. To choose what they want to be. They are exclaiming that we have lots of potential to grow one day, changing the course of the paths that they left behind from planet Earth and start over.  But no, the real reason was, 'Succession'. This is the conspiracy that the Monarch planned all along in maintaining their positions on top and pass down the throne to their princes and princesses. The people on top, will always be on top. They will always use the people beneath them as stepping stones. That is the role of the people like Mano, who is living at the 'Lower Class' destined to be. This is the reality that Mano learned. The fire burning in him, all of his plans, were extinguished momentarily.  However. He has the pamphlet.  He then turned the page of the mini-book.

Mano: "Son of a b*tch?! They have this kinds of sh*ts?! – He was shock upon realizing that the game is Pay to Win. "They were advertising the game that it is 'FREE TO PLAY, NO MONEY REQUIRED, JUST ENJOY THE PARADISE' whatsoever and they have this kind of feature?! Even in this pamphlet they only mention 'The head' and the 'Upper Class' so what if we are living in the lower class? You think we cannot afford to buy those premium cr*p?!" Said to himself with an angry expression.  He check the prices of the buffs and was frozen from the amounts.

After seeing some of the premium buffs and their prices. Mano had a jaw dropping expression while frozen in solid. "This pamphlet made its point, how wise ofr them not to advertise these hidden features. *Nodding*." – He had a change of heart and tears slowly pours down to eyes. "BUT HOLYSH*T whats with the price?!" –Then again he felt so ridiculed with the prices. He turn the page once again and it was the last page already. It contains lots of normal redemption codes for the 'Altar of Blessing' in game. It has the item names and the magic phrases to use in order to receive each of the goodies.

Mano: "Hmmmmm. Looking at the prices of those premium buffs, I just need to focus memorizing all of these normal magic phrases. They will all come in handy later once I login to the game." – He said to himself. "I don't have time to doubt all of this either it's true or not. Well I guess it is true? She She is legit from the royalty! No one can pull off a mesmerizing stunt like that!" – Mano reaffirmed the situation.  He has nothing to lose not to try. And he doesn't have a choice at all.

After storing all the names and magic phrases of the normal redemption goodies from the pamphlet into his memory, Mano have read the gameplay once again and assembled a structure of strategies for Everheim. Taking notes on his other notepad.  Few hours later, he is done. "I guess I got everything in my head now. Time to burn this pamphlet before we go to 'Sleep'." – Mano said to himself.  He began ripping the pieces of notes that he jotted down into the toilet bowl. As he is about to tear down the pamphlet, he noticed something on the cover of it. "Hmmm? Why is it that there is like a bulging space right here". Mano removed the cover, he was surprised on what he discovered. 

Five golden cards. Each card has the size of a credit or a debit. He check each card one by one. Afterward, he started coughing blood seeing the description of each card in his hands.
