Chapter 38: Warning
Adonis took away my box and put me inside a warm bath. It was warm and cosy so I didn't mind.
After that, he prepared a lot of food for me to eat because I didn't eat for 2 days straight. I was busy for 48 hours and fell asleep without eating my breakfast.
-Today's dinner is really good. I wonder where he is learning to cook all those foods from. Should I ask him about it?
Viktor looked at him and saw Adonis cutting his steak perfectly. He was radiating a golden aura from his body as if he were a saint who is healing a person.
Ugh! My eyes! -_-.
"Master, do you need something?"
"Oh. No."
"Eat well master, your exam is knocking at the door."
"Yes."
I am running out of money suddenly. Should I send him to that old man's store with a potion?
No, it's not the time yet. I need to know him more before I trust my things in his hand. It's too soon for him to run my errand.
He's still living in his dreams.
"Master, is something wrong with the food?"
Viktor snapped back to his reality and said no because there was no need for him to worry about it. He needs to understand his level.
"The mushroom soup is really tasty. I like it."
Viktor smiled at the reflection of himself on the spoon he was holding.
-I should check that golden book quickly.
Viktor went into his study room and opened his notebook. He was writing a new book related to a lonely soul's story.
I just hope that the Guardian of knowledge likes it.
Knock. Knock. Knock.!
"Master, I'll be coming in."
"Yes."
Adonis bought the golden book on a tray with a knife and some weird-looking tools.
"Oh, you're finally giving it to me."
He put the tray on the table and left by closing the door so professionally.
He's a full-time butler at my house now. Well, he takes good care of me now. So I don't have any problem.
Let's see...
The book was so old that the pages were stuck together. So he took the knife to break the formed stone in the gap and the cover opened.
He became speechless…
Eh?
The cover page said,
*Do not open * in another language that existed neither on earth nor on his planet.
I have witnessed a lot of things by now, but it was something he wasn't expecting to see.
It was something that he never mentioned in his novel. Not even writing it as a draft note.
A book related to a guardian, the guardian of record. The crest of holiness was informing him that it was a part of the world's fragment. A very important object for growing a world tree. So he was surprised to find a guardian fragment in the middle of the ocean.
I never mentioned anything about any golden book in my book. This world is truly mysterious. The warning said not to open the book. For some reason, I can read this language. I've never read or heard this language in my whole life. So how am I reading the book's warning page?
Is there something wrong with this book?
So he opened the book and a violet object quickly went inside his hand and vanished. It was dark and too quick that Viktor didn't get a chance to stop it from going inside his body.
Right then,
His crest of holiness was gathering information so fast in his head that he couldn't bear the pain. The violet small object went inside his body and started to dig its way into the brain.
Thousands of book about the world's fragment was hammering inside his memory permanently.
He was in so much pain that he screamed. He could feel his heart squeezing out. Adonis came inside his room when he heard him screaming.
"Master!!! What happened!!!"
He saw him laying on the floor, barely breathing.
"Hel...pp.!!"
-I can't even talk, my head, my chest, it feels like they are about to tear apart. It's so painful. I can't even breathe. And what's with all of these memories? It's not the truth, right? This can't be the truth...!
He could see his vision was getting blurry and a handsome man was running towards him and,
"Master!!!"
-Shit, I am sure I am going to die now. He saw my weakness. If he kills me at this moment, he will be able to break through the seal on his heart. He'll never get this chance to go away.
The pain was too terrible that he was bleeding out of his eyes, nose, mouth and even from his ear. His heart was beating so fast that he could actually see the world was moving slowly. Adonis was running so slowly towards him that he was getting annoyed.
He was feeling annoyed by the look on his face. Adonis was worried instead of being happy. He was worried that his master was asking for help in that state.
"Master!! Master what happened!!"
"Po..tion.. Go ..gee…t it."
Shit, why am I asking for points from him? Why are you acting like that when you have a huge opportunity? You should be happy. I'm going to die from this pain for sure.
I can feel my stomach tearing apart. My lung is unable to breathe now and my brain feels like there's an unlimited amount of books being installed.
Shit, I can't believe that I'm dying like this!! Why me? Why should I be the only one who suffers through a hard time?
Why me!
"Master!!! Please hold on a second!!! I'll get the potions you made. Please wait!!"
Cut off with that act. I know that you want me to die. Just kill me already!!! This pain is too much!!! Please!!!!
"Aaahhhhh!!!!!!!"
His crest of holiness was trying its best to prevent his body. But the pain was like experiencing countless deaths to Viktor. So he had nothing to do but scream.
So, he fainted…
