Chapter 18 : Space Ring

Chapter 18 : Space Ring

After the young lady left, closed the door behind her and When over to sit on the window pane and look over at the city.

It was truly as Shahiem described it was beautiful hundreds if not millions of different lights all across the city along with the bright stars across the sky truly made it into something breathtaking.

Still playing with the ring on his finger he decided to talk it off and inspect it but no matter how hard he looked he still couldn't tell what the runes meant.

"How do I open it?"

After playing around with it for awhile he finally put it back on his finger still staring at it tryna figure out how to open it.

'I wonder.....'

He took the ring off his finger again but this time he gently channeled divine energy into and within seconds his mind was in a dark space.

'Shit no again'

He really started to panic and felt like he was about to meet that man again but after a few seconds after his earlier panic, he calmed down when realized that this was probably inside the space ring.

A few meters away from him on the ground, there was a book a few inches thick, walking out to the book there was a note on it.

"'If your reading this then it means you probably aren't dead as yet but there's still time'"

Pausing right there he didn't even have to guess and he knew that Maseru wrote the note

"'Right now you're inside the space ring this book and some clothes are pretty much the only time I left in here but this book in your hand in worth far more than money, so just hold onto it and stop pouring energy into the ring'"

He was extremely curious as to what could be in the book, so much so that he didn't even bother searching the rest of the space ring to see if Maseru was lying or not, he immediately stopped pouring energy into the ring and in the blink of an eye he was back on the bed with a brown leather book beside him.

Ripping off the note that was on the cover, there was nothing else that was on it only the brown leather cover so he opened it.

On the first page was something that he wished he'd never seen 'inferno', that was what the glowing man said before he set him ablaze.

Remember what happened cold sweat started running down his back but after taking a few deep breaths he was calm again.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

Looking back at the page with the 'inferno' title It described a way to channel the Divine Energy through his body to get it to produce fire.

Looking at the bottom of the page there was a warning

*must have affinity for magic to cast spell*

He wasn't sure if he had an affinity for magic but based on the note that was on the cover of the book it was clearly meant for him as well as the fact that he didn't really think Maseru would directly try to hurt him, well as he hoped.

Based on the description of the spell in the book as well as his personal experience with the spell he thought it would be a better idea to experiment outside.

So he picked up the book and walked out of the inn, surprisingly there were quite a few people in the streets maybe it was because it was almost sunrise but it was still dark out so he would've thought that these people would be sleeping.

Whatever these people were doing didn't really affect him he was just trying to get as far out of the city and up into the mountains as fast as possible to try this spell.

After walking out of the city then running off into the mountains as fast as he could, about two hours later he was fairly deep into the mountains on a rocky slightly open area but he couldn't start right away because of the energy he'd wasted running here he was almost out of energy.

Sitting down and mediating for another hour or so he was finally ready to try the spell, reading the instructions a few times he decided to try for himself.

He was just going to try and create a small flame at first then try making it bigger and bigger until he could do what the glowing man had done to him or even what Enron did in his hometown.

After following the instructions over and over for about fifteen minutes nothing was happening not even a puff of smoke

"uggghhhh~ what the hell why isn't it work"

Taking a seat for moment he read the instructions for the spell again

"I am following the instructions so why isn't it working?!?"

He was really getting frustrated now why would that old bastard give him something he can use.

Putting down the book to started to take a deep breath, in out, in out until he was completely calm.

"Okay let's try again"

Following the instructions in the book again, making sure his 'i's were dotted and he crossed his 't's

After another few minutes of trying again, he felt a warm sensation coming from his palm but that was all there was still no flame, taking a short break he realizes his body was completely sticky.

"eww what the hell is this"

Finding the nearest river he could to wash his clothes as well as clean off the inky black sticky liquid that had formed on his skin before trying again.

The process of him trying and then having to have to take a shower went on for a few more hours but he still didn't give up because he felt like he was getting closer and closer every time the inky black liquid came out of his skin this caused him to realize that the liquid was perhaps the reason why he couldn't cast the spell maybe it was blocking it and with that thought as him motivation he pushed ahead.

And finally after another couple of hours and small flame about the size of a fist form in his palm.

Looking at the flame in his hand he completely froze for a moment, the flame didn't burn him but he knew deep down that if he be able to cast it on massive scale like Enron it would consume everything but somehow this flame seemed weaker than the one the glowing man used, a lot weaker but he was still incredibly happy.

It was all thanks to the girl reminding him about the space ring by some strange miracle for the entire time that they were talking he hadn't gotten her name but he'd see her again so it didn't bother him.
