Crossing over to the other side, Ryan saw a huge book instead of London city. The book was so big that it pierce through the clouds intimidatingly. It was opened wide on a random page which had mysterious runes that he didn't understand.
He stared at its contents while contemplating on his next move until he found himself sinking in his own thoughts. The runes of the book had a magical effect that made him more confused with many questions popping in his mind.
" Who is Samantha? What does she want from me? Should I trust her? What is her ability or which realm has she reached? Where did the system came from? What's the identity of white robed man? "
He had wasted more than five minutes just asking himself unanswered question before snapping out of his daze when he started to feel like he was there and not there at the same time. Time was of the essence here.
The book had many pages like an English dictionary with mysterious contents in it. A suffocating feeling lingered around it that made it look like a god who had descended to the lower world. The lower beings have no choice but to bow with respect and reverence while wetting their pants before this almighty.
He was like nothing in front of this being, to it, he didn't exist at all.
" Something is wrong here! " His instinct was telling him to run far away from this book. This feeling that he can't put a finger on... but who was he? He had come a long way and he won't give up easily.
He approached it slowly, his body sweating and shivering like a scared cat. The strain on his soul was immeasurable.
Ryan touched the book with his scapula which was poking out from where his hand used to be. Instead of touching something , it passed through the book as if it was a shadow of its self. He misstep and his whole body fell in that shadow.
A picture can be seen on the left page at the top Conner of the book. This picture had a head, neck and a chest of Ryan with words of a mysterious language beside and below it.
" Ding "
" Most basic body data being copied by an outside source. "
" Data copied successfully. "
" Unidentified being changing the basic information of the body. "
" Data swapping failed... fail. "
" Manipulation fail... Failed. "
" You want to make me a part of you? Haha! Dream on! You will not archive any plan of yours. " He sneered mockingly.
Did the book weaken him to this extend so that it can easily suppress him?
" You will end up just like the others. Your strong will of soul will finalize my evolution and break the final shackle holding me in this place then I can be free to get out of this place and then rule over the lands. Cherish this chance greatly and your name will go down in histry . " The book said womanly.
" Cherish your head! " Who said that books can also speak? It looks like this book has evolved to the extend of forging a spirit of its own. Samantha said that when I meet this type I should run, how? but since I came all this way, there is no going back.
A sharp pain overwhelmed his remaining half as if he was being boiled alive. " Aaaaaaaa! " The pain was unbearable.
" Ding "
" Body data being forcefully replaced with foreign data... "
" Replacement fail... failed. "
" I will not become a part of you or allow you to become a part of me either. I will get out of this place with you in my hand just like any other normal book. " Ryan cried ruefully almost going crazy.
" Hmph! " The book sneered with disdain to the cries of a chick being slaughtered. The words on the two pages flew towards him like flies before gnawing and rebuilding his half body.
" Ding. "
" Body under the strain of constant destruction and restoration. "
" Body will collapse soon if no preventive measure is taken. "
" Fuck! Cough! Cough! " He cough up some flies as he tried to bite one of them which felt like he had bitten a piece of steel. The captured fly whizzed in his mouth agitatedly until it escaped from his clutches.
" Just finished me! Kill me now! " He uttered like someone who has lost his brains.
" Ha! Ha! Where is your bravery now? I wanted to see how long you will put up that face but since you want me to fulfill your request, I will not stand on ceremony. " The book said in a flirty woman voice. Her voice was so pleasant to hear but to him, it was like a song of an aqua reaper lulling him to sleep forever.
" Ding "
" A strong killing intent directed towards the host..."
" Host can die if..."
The words disintegrated his half to pieces that dissipated to nothing. They then flipped changing to a different lingo that can't be understood logically before returning to the empty pages.
Ryan died just like that...
