After reading his two magical books, Adam prepared to read the other four selected by his godfather. In the end, the young man didn't dare to ask for a book outside the prearranged list; this decision was crucial, and it was better to heed the advice of someone more experienced in life, like his godfather.

Adam had spent his entire life in a cave and a hexagon alongside his father, so he clearly knew very little about the world and its dangers. However, his godfather seemed to have been a great adventurer and had explored many hexagons, as the religion of the builders dictated.

Nevertheless, Adam was unsure about some of the magical books listed by his godfather. But despite his doubts, the young man still remembered the day he tried to obtain glasses that could set everything they saw on fire. Clearly, the effect wasn't a direct curse, but it would render the glasses practically useless.

The current situation was even more serious because Adam couldn't discard his body if something went wrong with the next four magical books, as he could with the glasses. The effects of the old blind man's books were much more potent compared to those he had obtained during his childhood. So, if Adam chose poorly, he would be restricting his life forever. The young redhead wouldn't die, as the old blind man clearly marked which books were deadly on the list, but his life would be much more bitter.

The list was as follows:

'The Lunatic: When activated, you will be able to return to where your shadow is immediately, and your shadow will not follow your body's movements for a few minutes.

Though the description is not very clear, I find it useful for escaping. But if you were to reach the karma level where you lose your shadow, you could render the power unusable for decades: Many decades!

Still, this is the best escape book from the old blind man, and it will surely be very useful in many situations. Also, you are trying to change your positive karma to a neutral one, so you should never reach that point where you lose your shadow'

With just the first book on the list, things were getting complicated: Adam was lying to his godfather and refused to commit the atrocities he asked for to neutralize his karma. Therefore, losing his shadow would become inevitable for him. However, it could be years before that happened, so Adam tried not to worry too much about it.

Next was the second magical book:

'Ants and Elephants: Allows oneself to transform into a book and return to one's original form in a few minutes.

The magical effect of the book is very useful for hiding, as long as the book you transform into isn't eye-catching. On the other hand, if you transform into a book with a magical appearance, it is very useful for ending your life: But the gamble is worth it!

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Think about how many occasions such an ability could save your life!

While it is the only ability to hide from the old blind man, I still find it very useful. The books are scattered throughout almost all hexagons, so it's easy to go unnoticed if you transform into one of them'

The young hero didn't mind this book as much: even if he transformed into a very eye-catching book, it could still serve to hide from dangerous creatures. But not from greedy librarians. Therefore, this was one of the books he had already decided to obtain.

The third selected magical book was:

'Yellow Crabs: Allows one to understand an emotion.

If I'm not mistaken, the old blind man is referring to understanding someone else's mind.

Any information is useful, even if it's little, even if it's just a simple emotion!

Now we can escape of the purge and the key of yout future lies in the magical books that facilitate the riddles. Remember that most problems in your life were solved through thinking, not fighting'

Adam didn't like this book and it was the one he most wanted to change on the list. The old blind man's description was too vague, and he didn't understand what he meant by 'an emotion'.

Naturally, the young man had asked, but the old blind man refused to provide any further information regarding the effects of the magical book.

The fourth magical book was:

'Old Tree: If one concentrates, it allows you to see where a librarian died.

Take it, boy, everything else is optional, but this one is a must!

When I was alive, I discovered rumors about the existence of this book on the wooden floors. It's a shame I couldn't read it in my lifetime, but now you can do it for me.

I wouldn't lie when I say this is one of the best magical books in the wooden floors. It's a shame we will never know who gave it to the old blind man to safeguard among his shelves.

The most important thing is the title of the book: Old Tree = Wooden Floors.

My adventurous spirit screams at the top of its lungs that there must be an impressive secret hidden in this book! A secret worthy of my successor!

Let the deaths of our ancestors be the stairs to our glory, and take this ability, Adam!'

The young redhead shared his godfather's opinion about this book on the list: knowing how many librarians died near a bookshelf would reveal how dangerous and deceitful that bookshelf was.

However, Adam had the same doubt as when he bought the glasses and asked:

'Shouldn't we look for something that helps with combat?'

His godfather, writing slowly and calmly, replied:

'Yes, we'll do that later, trust me.'

Adam became even more nervous; he knew his godfather, and writing so slowly after he tried to change the original plan meant he was lying. Therefore, the young hero wrote angrily:

'I don't believe you at all. Why not take the book that provides a magical shield, or the one that makes the other bookshelves attack the evil creature?'

His godfather, now without calmness and with untidy handwriting, wrote:

'Why the hell would you want to protect yourself when you can escape? Why the hell would you want to fight if they can't find you? Do you think life is like fantasy books, kid? A poorly covered attack, and they'll violate you! An attack that doesn't kill your target, and they'll use your skull to wipe their ass! You're 25 years old! Be realistic, damn it!

Anyway, this time, I'm not lying: if you take these books, I know how to obtain a super-magical object.

It's better to let your weapons be magical objects, not dangerous books incorporated into your body. The more potent the magical book, the more potent its problems will be.'

Somewhat annoyed by the insults, but also with many doubts and fears of the unknown, Adam wrote:

'Are you really not lying to me this time?'

His godfather crossed out everything written in the biography and quickly wrote:

'I would never lie to you, kid!'
