Louis had gone so far away from the coffin while struggling with the invasion problem and the area had gotten darker as a result of the gloomy wind brought by the ghost. Louis picked on of the movable torches and walked back to the coffin.
Louis walked slowly through the steps to the altar where the coffin was laid. He took one of the longest bones to at least get a sense of protection though he knew that the weapon in his hands will not be able to solve any problem that may arise. Fortunately, the only harm had been successfully avoided. Louis tapped the ground with his 'weapon' trying to observe for traps on the steps to the altar.
"I hope all this is worth it at the end of everything".
Louis hanged the torch by the wall and walked touched the coffin wearily, after touching for few seconds without any suspicious activity, he proceeded to check the contents of the coffin.
The first thing he picked out was a very old brown piece of paper rolled into a scroll. Louis opened it carefully as it looks like it will tear if held with too much force. After fully unfolding the scroll, Louis noticed that this was a more complete map of the entire continent which was more informative than the map from the library as it captured some forbidden areas filled with top level beasts, it also contained a path marked with asterisk on the sea...
"This must be the path to the legendary Lower Continent but unfortunately it is not complete", Louis laments when he noticed that the map was torn into two at a particular point on the sea.
He also picked up some pieces of milky white stones which he was a little bit familiar with as it resembled the Aura Stones he saw at the Island Artifact.
The next thing Louis brought out was a golden box designed with mysterious patterns all around it, all the lines in the pattern were dimly shining a faint blue light which has been reducing since he removed most of the aura stones.
WOSSH Louis who had stopped being vigilant heard the sound produced by the rain of poisoned needles which were activated as a result of his touch.
"Lucky me", Louis thought as he narrowly escaped the rain of corrosive needles. He looked back and saw the sign of corrosion on the floor and he imagined what it would be like if just a needle actually hit him.
Louis who was back to being vigilant carefully opened the box and it contained a fruit with a very savories smell, it looked like an orange but it was bluish in colour. The mysterious thing is that the fruit was still fresh.
"That maybe as a result of the Golden Patterned Box or the Aura Stones around it it Both", he thought.
Since the needle incident, Louis was very careful with the coffin and its contents. He had noticed a glowing octahedral crystal but touched with a bone before using his hands.
"Suprisingly this is not hot as I imagined", Louis thought as he admired the exquisiteness and beauty of the crystal.
"This crystal looks natural as I have not seen any machine capable of being this accurate".
The beeping woke Louis from admiration.

Louis who was wondering what was the purpose of the crystal was amazed when he heard that the crystal contained a mysterious energy that even the system was ignorant of.
"So what was hindering the system from starting was energy. I hope it would be enough to make the system activates", Louis worries.
"Permission granted", Louis said in his mind.

Louis after understanding the simple way of operating the System, clicked the Exit Menu button and continued to check the coffin for other contents.
All he saw were a bunch of strange dried plants kept in a small box. "Experiment Samples", this was Louis's thought as he noticed this little treasure trove of strange specimens.
Louis had finished checking the coffin and he saw other things including some patterned rings, some patterned weapons, a book written in a strange language and other strange things.
Louis went back to the system trying to get to use the inventory.

Louis went through the tutorial and tried it few times before he got it, he kept all the important things in the inventory except the strange book. He was trying to figure out the contents of the book written in a strange language and with strange pictures of strange plants, fruits and creatures.
Louis slept off, trying to decipher the language but.

This what was Louis heard as he woke up tired and hungry. Instantly the zeal returned.
"Thank you System", he said as he started laughing.
