Chapter 27 - Book of Magic Status

"3 yellow cards...."

James couldn't even rejoice because of his astonishment, this was the first time this had happened and even just one legendary item had a huge value. Looking at the description of the [Health Potion] that James received, it was even written that it could restore a limb, or even revive someone whose heart had stopped a few seconds ago.

Clarent's replica and other items were a big plus. These three yellow cards, or "golden" cards as James called them, would put him ahead of the pack, even if he was only just realising it.

What Sopdu and the others didn't realise was this. James was already euphemistically beyond the tenth floor.

Sitting back down, James positioned himself as comfortably as possible and clasped his hands together:

"I don't know how to pray, but Moros, Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos, I beg you to give me a chance."

James took a deep breath as he uttered these words, and then, with a slight tensing of his body, placed his finger on the yellow card in the upper left:

[The Bell of Hypnos (Legendary)

 The sacred bell of Hypnos, the god of sleep and dreams. According to the gods within the tower, Hypnos put a piece of his divinity into this bell.

 The bell has the capacity to put anyone to sleep, including holy beasts and even some gods. It also puts the user to sleep.

 It cannot be blocked by any god or item, not of the same divinity as Hypnos.

 Usage right 3/3]

James stood still for a few seconds as he read the item in front of him, neither standing up in excitement nor feeling any emotion other than happiness:

"I think I've attracted the attention of those with Chaos blood... The fact that Master Hypnos sent me an item shows that... Of course, I may have won this item by chance."

After these words, when he carefully read the characteristics of the bell, James could see that this item could be used very clearly and powerfully. After all, his [Mind Palace] ability defended him against all sleeping abilities, which meant that when the bell was used, he would not sleep as it was written in the properties.

After that, another window opened in front of James, who touched the other card with great hope:

[Loki's Mask(Legendary++++)

 This mask is an image-changing item that encapsulates Loki's magic. Whoever wears the mask can transform their image into any person, item, monster, or even god they wish, up to 3 times. One of God of Mischief Loki's favourite things to do was to disguise himself as other gods and move the realm of the gods between his hands.

 Usage Rights 3/3]

After seeing this item, his excitement began to increase, he did not expect such a plus to be given to him. He was already strong enough, and he was relieved to be able to get his hands on such items.

Even as he thought about what kind of mayhem he could cause by using the Bell of Hypnos and Loki's Mask at the same time, he was trying not to laugh inside, it was incredibly difficult to restrain himself, but somehow he managed.

With that he put the mask and the bell away in his inventory and stared at the last card, his happiness was going to be enormous as he had just won something that would be of enormous use to him.

His hand trembled a little, his excitement was high and it scared him, he didn't want to be disappointed.

Nevertheless, he was well aware that waiting would not change anything, which is why he suddenly touched the card and stood in front of the window that had appeared in front of him.

He seemed shocked, he had no idea whether what he saw in front of him was real or not.

Even if he didn't realise it, the whole of Olympus and Asgard was completely shaken by what they saw. Players were brought to an inaccessible point by the tower just after the training floors, and only their bodyguards, the holy beings of their chosen class, were allowed to watch the player and that made the whole Olympus tramble.

Even if James hadn't realised it, the window that had formed in front of him was something that even Chronos, let alone Zeus and Odin, had achieved when he had approached the very end of the tower.

[Book of Magic Status (Godly---)

 This is a book created by the hands of Chaos himself, which can be obtained with luck in the most difficult parts of the tower and incredibly hidden areas.

 The book grants the player the [Magic] stat. This stat increases the power, casting or casting speed, casting time, and even the capacity of the spell.

 For every 100 points added to the [Magic] status, the player gains protection against [Dark and White] spells, respectively. Protection is granted at 5%.

 Every 50 points added to the spell stat will increase understanding of the magic overall by 1%].

By the time James had finished reading this window in its entirety, he was able to fully appreciate the value of the book. Who knows, maybe Theseus didn't even have this status.

What he did not know was that Theseus, who had not yet managed to reach the god realm, did not even have this status, let alone Athena, Thor, Amun and many other gods in the god realm.

This was officially a gift that Chaos gave to James with his own hands.

It was priceless, by any means.

However, James did not stop at all and took the book in his hand and opened it. As soon as he opened the book, the book withered and disappeared and suddenly something that no one expected happened.

"ARGHH!!!" 

James started to writhe in pain and fell off the bed he was sitting on. He was writhing on the floor like a dying lamb. He felt his body burning and blood was pouring from his eyes, nostrils, ears and mouth.

He didn't know what was happening and had no idea what to do. All he knew was that the pain was unbearable, that if he didn't solve this soon he might die, and that frightened him.

It was as if every cell in his body was falling apart. Even the naked eyes would reveal an image that would look like a horror film.

It was awful.
