While thinking of something, Randy approached the thick black book and after thinking for a bit, he then observed the book up close with scrutinizing eyes.
Upon a closer look, he could see some indiscernible characters and designs on the cover of the book, however perhaps due to age, those patterns were hard to see since it seems to be worn out by the ravages of time, coupled with the fact that the cover of the book itself was pitch black in terms of color.
