Chereads / Warlock survival / Chapter 6 - The House of Bronxe

Chapter 6 - The House of Bronxe

Liam was currently on his way to the library. The library was the most difficult and hard place for liam to get into, as it was on the 4th floor, which was the highest floor of the house of bronxe, and it was also the floor where the official's lived. The situation Will become messy, if he were to bump into one of the official's.

The official's were only leaving him alone, because they thought that liam was afraid to even come out of his room. Liam was careful enough to not get noticed by any of the maids, as he silently but confidentiality passed by them looking at his clothes alone, no one could tell that he was of noble blood. He made his way to the Library, on his way he observed that this floor was like a royal palace, when compared to the lower floors. He now understood what the maid's were saying.They were openly discriminating between the illegitimate's and the official's, anyone could tell or to be precise they wanted all to know what would happen if they tried to challenge their authority. He quietly observed each room, and made his way to the library.

The library was designed more like a ballroom, the doors were open. There were no knight's near it's direction it was a very large room containing thousands of book. When liam entered he was mesmerized by it. There was only one person inside the whole library, the librarian who was currently sleeping on his desk with his head down. Nobody in the upper floors used the library at all, Liam wanted power and knowledge the most to survive in this new world. He started reading books and information about how the world worked, he wanted to familiarize himself with the knowledge which was common sense for the people of this world.

Hours had passed as he was still reading, and then all of a sudden out of nowhere he heard a sound. It startled him, he stood up and looked in the direction of the sound. it was one of the official's, Christin`e Bronxe, the second child of Lady Rose`h Bronxe, and the only female sibling in the family. Liam hasty ran and hid in the space between the book shelves, that was a close call. Luckily he didn't got caught, he waited for a while then peeked outside to see if she was still there, he saw her with the head maid talking about something in the corner, then they quickly left the library.

Liam saw this opportunity and tried to escape the library, but as he stood up he bumped his head at the corner of the book shelf 'aah.. shit that hurts..' he got out of the space between the two book shelves, and saw that a book had fallen out of the shelf.

It was a very slim book with no context written on its cover, he opened the book out of curiosity, and saw that the book was totally empty with only the last page containing some text. He read the text and it said 'Only thy who is worthy of me, shall be blessed with the light of the crescent moon', as soon as he read the text, the book started glowing up and started to disappear. Liam was shocked, he knew that this world was in a Fantasy world, but it was still his first time seeing this.

He couldn't help but be surprised. After the book totally disappeared, Liam started feeling a slight headache, which gradually became so painful and unbearable that he started screaming in pain, It only went for a few minutes and he passed out. While Liam was unconscious he had a dream, in that dream he was sitting in a bar, where an old an in a robe came up to him. the old man's face was blurry and not clear. He grabbed Liam's hand and said 'This is my inheritance to the one with the will of crescent moon.' A golden light shined from the hand he was grabbing Liam's hand with, and after some time the light stopped. The old man further cotinued 'With this little gift you can see what others can't when you close your eyes, which will be of great help to you.'

A few hours later Liam started to open his eyes. When he looked around, he noticed that he was not in the library but instead was in his room. There was also a person beside him, Although that person had fallen a sleep, Liam still knew who it was, It was jared his personal knight. Liam shook jared, who was currently sleeping on a chair, Jared was startled he quickly stood up from the chair, and looked around to find his young master staring at him.

When liam asked Jared how he came here, he told liam that he was gone for a very long time so jared went looking for him. it was then, that his librarian friend on the 4th floor found liam unconscious in the library. He informed jared, and he brought liam back to his room. liam then asked about if he was noticed by any of the official's, to which jared replied 'No all of the official's children were invited to the birthday of the crown prince in the royal palace, in the evening a messenger from the main house arrived saying they all had to depart at once, that's why they all went in a hurry.' after hearing this he let out a sigh of relief, and jared left the room.

After jared left, liam was lost in thoughts for a while. He was thinking about the dream he just had. He wanted to test it out, to see if the dream was somehow related to the magic book. He closed his eye's and tried a to focus his thoughts, as he was focussing a blury screen started to form. Liam tried to focus his thoughts even more, and it started to get clear little by little, after some time a clear screen was infront of him. it was like a game interface.
