< Last time, we're talking about how Duran knew what's gonna happen to his little brother Richan, and now, he is on the way to Sea of Knowledge to discover something related to Richan's recent phenomenon>
.
[Duran POV]
Im heading to the Sea of Knowledge, but at the entrance, there are two guards in front of it, I come near them, and when I'm about to go in.
.
One of the guards halts me "I'm sorry young master, but you can't go in if the leader not giving you permission", in response, I show the key that father gave me to the guards, " It's okay, I have his permission", they seem to confirm the key then after that, they make a way for me.
.
"We're so sorry young master, please go in", These guards doing their job well, so of course, they need to do that protocol, not taking a long time I make my way and I say to them "Both of you doing your job well, keep it up" as I passing them.
.
"Yes young master, may peace upon you", I replied as I walk away from them "and so be upon you all", well it's a bit hassle to do it every time, but that's how we uphold the morale, and respect to each other every time, so that's no sweat for me.
.
After walking past the guards, I've arrived at the front of the door, the door and wall around it are made from Platinum, well I'm not surprised by it, because the content of Sea of Knowledge, can't be measured by money and must be protected at all cost because it holds the truth and prophecies from prophet Daramuh and all the knowledge from ancient times.
.
"Hmm? where is the keyhole," I wonder as I inspect the door.
.
"Ahh, there is it" it's in the middle of the door, well that's a bit strange because it looks like a normal one door, so why the keyhole is in the middle, and yeah, this is the first time I go in Sea of Knowledge, father only told me, that I can access the Sea of Knowledge if it's about something urgent, but when I say the urgent matter is actually about his second son, he gave me the key without hesitation.
.
Huft, well... I think he is really a good father, right?.
.
After I insert the door key, the door is opened, but the door, automatically goes upward, oh well, the more I know. After the door opened I go in immediately, why it's so dark in here, where is the lamp switch?, oh wait what is this, it's like a rope, well I just pull it, and then there is this sound.
.
*Clank Clank Clank*
.
It's the sound of a bell ringing three times, then a torch was litted, another one is litted, but after a minute, the Sea of Knowledge is fully illuminated by the torches that are being litted automatically I don't know-how.
.
"Whoa, this place really fit to be called by Sea of Knowledge" that's what came from my mouth after I saw what was in front of me right now.
.
Sea of Knowledge is basically a library but it holds many records from centuries ago, well the majority of it is about discoveries on earth phenomena, history of war, world invention, the dangerous invention also here, and truth of world grade scandal.
.
Well If you wonder about who is the mastermind of the assassination of the U.S 35th president, we also keep it here, and nobody knows it, except the high rankers of our order, because we, who work in the shadow, to protect the peace, and secret like these, can't be out to the public and if it's by accidentally published, it can cause the change of world stability.
.
Enough explanation now let's go back to the investigation, I can't take this lightly, because if I was right about what I thought, the end of the world…. im afraid that it gonna come soon upon us.
.
Im going to search throughout the Sea of Knowledge, and first im gonna search after this Fate Eater, that Richan was saying in the middle of his dream out of nowhere.
.
So I go to (Creatures) category hall, you wonder why there is this category? because we're not alone in this earth, galaxy, even there is another realm beside which we reside right now, but we as people, nowadays even discriminate each other, based on races, wealth, even by religion.
.
The morale's are dropped and being changed with irrational behavior and ideology, and that was being promoted by nonetheless but the Iblez worshippers, the innocent people who thought everything we do in this world is only for fun, but they don't realize that this world only a temporary place.
.
I heard the name Fate Eater when my father told me a story when I was a child, its about a creature that can devour a destiny or fate that is already bestowed by god upon each one of his creations.
.
And that's why we people who believe in God, or we call ourselves as (Varghuanas) and our religion which is called (Ulmark), well, our religion is known as one of the major religions in this world, but sadly, most of the worshipper is not even doing the teachings.
.
In our religion is known that, before we gonna do everything like eat, work, and especially when going to sleep, we must pray nonetheless but to God, asking for protection against the evil being like Fate Eater.
.
So after I searched the hall, I found one book that makes me interested to read and pretty sure that it must be there, (Creations of Damned) is the title of the book, the title itself are pretty sure talking about the content in it.
.
I try to open the first page in it, blargh, there is so much dust on it, but im glad the books and documents condition on this Sea of Knowledge is all good, I wonder who takes care of it.
.
Let's see, table of content… ah this, dream creatures, page 241, I open that page, hmm there is so much of this dream creatures, there is lust devil, hmm so they invade people dream to give them intimate dream and sucking their energy, ahh, in manga and anime, it is similar with this, they call them Succubus and Incubus.
.
I open the next page, and there it is, finally, a Fate Eater, let me read the description.
.
Fate Eater, also called by Varghostex, a creature from depth hell created by Iblez, who invade people dream and is suspected of killing the victim in their dream, almost all victims who are being invaded by Vargostex are reported dead, each of the victims has same symptoms of being harassed by Varghostex is… sleep talking, sleepwalking, and the most valid symptom is…. They said its name when sleeping.
.
I was right, Richan, my brother is in danger, I need to do something, but, let me finish this article first, maybe there is anything that can help solve it.
.
Varghostex, the witness who survived, reports that the being characteristics is black, big, and walk with 4 legs and his head is similar to a worm head, the witness says that the being itself is blind but sensitive to sound, and when Varghostex detect the prey, it will screech or roar, then, it chases the prey with speed comparable with rhinoceros.
.
Hmm, this witness… look like someone who has big balls, I am amazed by how they survived this crazy monster.
.
Creature weakness: all witnesses refused to answer
Creature Powers: Sensitive to sound, fast chasing speed
.
What the… what kind of bullshit is this, they all refuse to answer the weakness?, can they just tell what is the weakness so maybe more people can survive from Fate Eater? oh wait there is a witness name on this article, let me see which prick refuses to answer this simple question.
.
All witnesses who survive: ..... Veronica Juan, Gordon Heimsley, Callion Rein Puratama.
.
What… Papa? he suffers from Fate Eater? but father is… survived from it, and why father refused to answer too, whatever, let me just ask himself directly later, he must answer this because it is related with Richan.
.
Now I already confirm the Fate Eater, maybe im gonna go back home for now.
