I got the feeling when you wanted to give someone a high five because we may have some good news, but I was stuck with a pet that I can't give it to and a child who probably does not even know what it is. Why didn’t I get a harem so I had five hot women with me with superpowers? Instead, I am stuck with a maid who comes and goes as she pleases and a pet that I am not sure if it wants to kill me or go solo. I looked at the book in the air with a smiley sign, which made me wonder if I had a curse by smiles showing up everywhere until my death.
“Well, the book of knowledge of fallen shit! What can we do with it now that you have asked us to use it? I asked her.
“This book is exceptional, created by one of the wizards during the war before the world changed. This book goes through the war and shows all the suffering and bloodbaths during the old war. Different warriors from different kingdoms carried it around after the war, and the book has all the history of catastrophic events in the Fallen Kingdoms also recorded with it. You must be careful with the book; if you search for a place or a person, it will turn back time, and you will be right in the middle of a bloodbath or an event that involves the death of citizens that has already happened.” She explained.
“Eh...So you mean the book is a time machine, more or less? That is terrible storytelling on another level in this game.”
“What game are you talking about Villain?” She asked me.
“Ops! Nothing! So what do you suggest we do with it?”
“Only use the book in grave danger, but when you ask the book the question, it will take you back to that event. I highly suggest you also mention a person's name so you do not end up in an ongoing battle. If someone has carried the book two years back in time and you ask it to take you one and a half years back when this person was holding it, it will put you in the closest timeline when a catastrophic event happened. You have to be careful because the book will take your natural body back in time, and you can die. You can not change what will happen, but your whole body and soul will be in that place at that time, and it is your responsibility to make sure you do not die before traveling back.”
“So, I can travel back and then tell the book I want to return?” I asked to see if I could use the book to my advantage.
“No! You have to define what you want to do when going back in time, and you cannot return until you find the answer to why you have chosen to travel back in time. Nothing will happen if your question is irrelevant to any history or the book does not know your question. The book won't risk sending you somewhere it has no history of.”
“Eh, it means I will be stuck there and can not return until I have the answer I asked the book?”
Stolen novel; please report.
“Yes! That is why you should only use the book in grave danger; while you can not stop the timeline, you will endanger yourself by traveling back, and if the question is wrong, you will probably end up dead without any haste in that environment.”
Wow, maybe it is more like a curse to have the book at all; who the fuck wants to end up in the middle of a war or catastrophic event back in time?
“Eh, OK! I got it. How do we fold the book back in the air?” I asked, intending never again to take up the book.
“The owner of the book is the one who calls after the book with the phrase of Book Of Fallen.”
That sounds weird; why did it show in the air, just like I mentioned in the book?
“Book of fallen!” I said, and I saw the book lock itself and disappear into ashes in the air.
Hm, did I destroy the damn book?
“Was that all, only information about the book? What the hell? The LITRPG people always get stuff; don't I get some power-up or something? You don't have anything to drink on the bottles with dark-colored Mudd in the bottles?” I asked because of how pissed off I got. I can die by an arrow, and the LITRPG people can sit and count how many freaking points they have after getting hit by a freaking dragon and have like god-like powers.
Well, it is not a fair world we are living in; I have to rewrite this crap and steal their crowd.
“Well, was that all...shit, I forgot the name, my queen!” I uttered in a last-second save.
“Yes! That was all!” She said, making a whirlwind movement with her two fingers. When she pressed her hand down on the counter, something dragged me from behind, and I flew out of the tent. Mejni came right after me and landed softly on my chest while my shirt and pants took their time to soak in the mud. Strange... there are no stars in this world.
I slowly got up from the ground and pushed Mejni away because he was smiling at me, and it wasn’t time to let my anger worsen. Lol came out running from the tent and bowed down apologetically, which made everything here even more awkward.
“The Queen has left a message that she wishes you to tell her husband everything is okay! It is OK; you can rest now.”
What the heck? Is it a riddle?
I nodded to him because I didn’t want to ask anything anymore; I just wanted to sleep.
Someone kept pushing my shoulder to wake me up, and It was still dark outside, so it couldn't even be morning yet. I got annoyed and turned around to see if Mejni wanted to play fetch or something, but I noticed Stella staring at me with her red eyes.
“What do you want? It is still dark outside; wait until the morning before waking us up.” I whispered to her.
“You need to get up! I will transfer half of my powers to you, and you need to do some training to try and control it.”
“Eh, Fudge, no! I need to sleep!”
She kicked my legs like it was kindergarten play. She seriously messed with the wrong sleepy guy, so I got up quickly. She ran out of the barn, and I followed her up a hill in the darkness. I kept chasing her while she tiptoed away from me until she jumped up and slammed with her fist on the grass, and a big fire circled and surrounded us. That was a perfect heroine landing, I must say. She was standing with her back against me like this was ‘The’ moment of truth, haha. Not even the LITRPG people make landings like that.
“Are you ready?” She asked with her back still towards me.
“Ready for what?” I asked and giggled.
She turned around and looked at me with a deadly, serious look.
“Are you ready to inherit powers from the 100th Demon Army for the first time?”
