Chereads / Kage no noroi / Chapter 6 - black book

Chapter 6 - black book

"Hmm… I wonder what's on the last two floors."

So he went up to the eleventh floor and was surprised to find nothing, because he did not find anything on that floor except a large space

Empty, he said to himself sarcastically

"Was this floor built just for looks? Does this mean the last floor is also empty?… Well let's check first."

As soon as he started to climb, he felt a strange aura calling him and his heart started

He beats with longing as if that thing is his own and a part of his body

"What...what is this feeling..."

He quickly went to the last floor... but again he found nothing there, just like the eleventh floor

He tried to search every large or small part of that place, but his attempts failed

"I was imagining this...but that feeling..."

He sighed and said

Well… let me leave this place before I go completely crazy."

"As soon as he started going down the stairs, he heard a voice

"Shhhh"

He quickly turned to the source of the sound, but nothing happened again

As he investigates, he sees a discarded book on the floor

It is black in color, as if it steals the light around it

"Was this here before,... let's check..."

As soon as he touched it, the book caught fire with an ominous-looking black fire, and that fire moved from the book to his finger, then his hand, then his arm, slowly filling his entire body.

"Um….shit…what is this..cursed book..."

Amazaki felt unbearable pain, as if his bones were boiling like a piece of coal, and a little red steam came out from all over his body, as if his blood was evaporating.

"What's going on here? Is this a hallucination? An illusion?"

"But the pain... is beyond what I can say... just a hallucination."

Despite all this pain, Amazaki did not scream... and what benefit would screaming do in such a situation? Therefore, all he can do is endure or prepare for death... This is the only idea running through his head currently.

After half an hour of that unbearable pain, Amazaki almost collapsed

He heard a voice inside his mind

Suddenly the fire disappeared and the book turned into ash, which was blown away by the light wind, while his face was all sweaty and he could hardly stand, and his breathing was rapid like someone who had been running for many miles...and again he heard that voice in his mind.

"The special ability has been successfully restored."

"What?... What happened?... Wasn't he still alive?... Hmm... My clothes... don't have any traces of burns. What does this mean?"

Was it a hallucination after all?"

After he calmed down and his breathing returned to normal, he said

"Anyway, it seems like it's getting dark and now I have to...damn it, I forgot."

While he was looking out the library window, he suddenly remembered something

"Damn, how could I make a mistake like this... Money, I don't have any money, I don't have anything to eat, and I don't have a place to sleep."

"What about the library? Can I sleep here?"

But as soon as he asked himself this question, an old man with white hair and eyes worn by time came up the stairs

To say in a respectful voice

"I'm sorry to bother you, but the library will close in ten minutes, so..."

Before he could finish speaking, Amazaki suddenly interrupted him

"Can I stay here until morning?"

"I deeply apologize, but I cannot agree to this matter because the library belongs to the king personally, and he even ordered it to be locked and guarded from damage or vandalism because the information in it was collected by him himself in the hope of advancing the kingdom... so I..."

Amazaki interrupts him again

"Okay, okay, all I asked was whether I could stay or not, grandfather, and there is no need for all this information, so since I conclude from your words that the answer is no, I will leave."

As Amazaki headed towards the stairs, the old man said in amazement

"What were you doing here anyway?"

Since this floor and the eleventh floor were empty, anyone would have been surprised to find someone on this floor

Amazaki replied with a childish face

"I wanted to see the view of the city from above, but I did not find any tall building like this."

The old man said

"Hmm… the view of the city… it doesn't matter anyway, so hurry up and leave."

......…

After Amazaki left the library, he headed through the alleys, looking for a place to spend the night, as this was not something new for him.

Even when he was expelled from the orphanage in his previous world, he had to sleep in public squares or alleys until he collected enough money from some work he was doing... while thinking about what happened in the library and that voice that he heard.

Suddenly they meet two people wearing brown clothes and a black face scarf that appear to be...

Bandit someone said while looking in Amazaki's direction

"Hehe… it seems like another fish has come to us, brother."

The other said with a smile

"Yes, this looks like our best night, bro."

Amazaki raised his head towards them

"Hmm.... What?"

While one of the bandits approaches Amazaki with a strange smile, he quickly disappears to appear in front of Amazaki. They suddenly come, then he puts his hand on Amazaki's shoulder and says in a threatening tone:

"You better hand us everything you have if you value your life."

While Amazaki looked at the bandit with a cold face, he turned to see what was behind him and then what was on his sides

The bandit said sarcastically

"What…what…are you afraid hahaha…no one comes to this dark alley so..."

Amazaki interrupts that man, and they suddenly smile with an evil smile on his face

"good…"

"Craaaak"

The sound of bones shattering sent shivers through the body of the person who remained behind

He became the head of the bandit in front of this Amazaki

In the opposite direction, his neck was broken and he fell dead to the ground

Amazaki suddenly hears a voice inside his mind

">Light Burst< Learned – Level: Perfect"

">Light Charges< Learned – Level: Perfect"

"Hmm what? That voice again, is it because of this person or..."

He turned his gaze towards the second person with a cold look and said

"Well… there is still one more person to check…"
