Squeak Chirp –

The sound of birds outside woke me from my dream, and I sat up from my bed with sleepy eyes squinted.

[That dream...... Is it because you are too involved in reading? 】

Last night I seemed to have a dream, I dreamed that I had become the man who had gone deep into the unknown world, I dreamed that I was called by an unknown being, that great power was enough to overthrow the mountains and seas, but it was terrifying, and even the breath set off a strong wind.

As I began to wash with heavy steps, I lowered my head to wash my face, and suddenly noticed a strangely shaped pattern on my left hand.

[Strange, this doesn't look like a bruise.] 】

After repeated clarity, the dough did not fade in the slightest, and I could not feel any pain when I touched it, as if this pattern was born to me.

[Could it be related to that dream last night?] 】

Thinking of this, I hurried back to the front of my desk and began to read the book, wanting to see if the scribbled self had been in the same way as me.

The more I read the book, the more pages the man's story came to an abrupt end, saying that the man came to a palace, pursued and summoned the man to step into the palace, and never came out again. The next few pages are blank, I didn't expect this to be the case, why is there a blank space close to half a book at the back of a good book? Turning the page backwards quickly, I finished reading the whole book.

Fortunately, the occasional scribbled handwriting appears on these blank pages.

[I can feel it...... Something is calling to me, and that story may be more than just a story. 】

This is the first sentence that comes after a succession of blanks.

[There is a strange pattern on my arm, it's not that it's bruised and can't be cleaned, is it related to that sound?] 】

[I had a strange dream, I dreamed of that world, I knew there was definitely something wrong with this book, but the more I did it, the more I wanted to explore that world, this is a great temptation and a unique opportunity for an adventurer! 】

[Run! Come on! Those monsters, those monsters are trying to connect the world through me...... This book is by no means for humans to read, it is a forbidden prop! The book itself is a calling ritual...... The moment I finished reading the book, I couldn't escape! 】

These words struck me, but it was the last page that shocked me the most.

[I can feel that I am no longer myself...... I can't even destroy the book...... It manipulated me, and it even imitated my notes in order to attract others to read the book...... The world, the Void, the Seekers...... I must find the Seekers, and only they can save my life......]

What do these words mean? Imitating his handwriting? Could it be the sentence I saw earlier......

Thinking of this, I flipped the ancient book in my hand to the first few pages.

[This is a boring book, wasting my tea&*]

The latter part was crossed out, replaced by a scribbled sentence.

[There is a problem with this book, I take back my previous words, if anyone else sees it, please be patient and read this book, maybe it will change your life. 】

Could it be that this sentence was actually left after the person was controlled, in order to make the next person who sees the book trigger the so-called ritual?

Thinking of this, I can't help but want to give it a try, is this book really some unknown magic prop? With this in mind, I walked to the front of the stove with the book, lit the flame of the stove with a magic prop, and tentatively placed a corner of the book on top of the burning flame.

[Snort-]

Books smell like fur, and the flames lick the books one after another, but the seemingly fragile books don't burn for a long time.

[How so...... Could it be that this book is really- uh, it hurts! 】

As the book was scorching in the flames, a sharp pain suddenly came from my hand, and I subconsciously let go of the hand holding the book, and the book began to make a strange sound when it fell into the flames.

It was like a living creature that began to struggle violently in the flames, and at the same time the strange pattern on my hand also changed strangely, and my eyes felt a dizzy illusion when I looked at the pattern, as if a voice appeared in my ears.

(Greet me!) Create a body for me, and I will come into this world! ）

A chaotic voice seemed to take over the whole world, and I sat down on the ground, but the voice didn't let me go.

(Come, I give these gifts, and you will create a body for me, and before that you will be me, and I will be you, Rakaf!) ）
