Chereads / Lantern Bearer / Chapter 8 - the start of a story (2)

Chapter 8 - the start of a story (2)

It's been a week since i came across this table and the chair, and since then i start to observe this book.

Book of Record, a strange book that somehow included in the lantern Bearer set, sometimes it talked to me but after that, it becomes shut and take a long time for it to talk again.

And in this week i try to observe my class and stat, i can just access the class information just fine, but somehow i got loged out from the stat menu.

"Well... i never take a look into my stat since i get this system so... It's understandable, right?"

Let's stop talking about my stat let's talk about something more serious, The lantern Bearer is not a normal class, it doesn't matter how many times i checked about it i still doesn't make sense.

What so special about a person who bear the lantern, and why did such a class has its own sub dimension world.

"Sigh..." I cover my face with my palm.

28 years of my life has been wasted because i get transferred into this world, and after a few weeks i since stay here all my memories that i has made has become worthless too, and now i have spent around 17 years wandering around this never ending space.

Should i just kill myself?

No! Then why did i stay survive till this point if in the end im just going to kill myself.

But im tired...

...so what? You mean to tell me that all of your life is just a lies?

"I should stop talking to myself"

"Yeah you are right"

A sound echoes throughout the sub space, a voice that sounded like both a woman and a man.

"Who is that?"

"..."

'No response, is it just my imagination'

I take the book and start to get through the pages, one by one. At the start it only has a blank pages, but after a few more pages i found a record.

「The story of world ethereal」

It's a story of this world, that i don't really know. "Sigh... Well since im going to be trapped in this world, let's read this book shall we"

***

Day 1

• The story kind of fun, knowing how this world created.

***

Day 3

• I take back my word this story is full of mystery, it's like I've become an elementary school kid again, kind of fun .

***

Week 3

• Saying that I've become like an elementary students is a big mistake, im lower than elementary students i don't know what is it though.

***

Year 27

• at first it only because of curiosity, but now i know a few things about this world. only a few, right now im on page 9341, if you think it has a lot of information on it you will be wrong. 27 years and not once that I think I can known everything, and even if I can it's absolutely impossible.

***

Year ????

•i only know about 0.000001% about this world, infact I don't know anything at all. Right now im at Page 119.076.003 and after all that reading I still don't know about what is this world.

•is this world really a game? Or is it an entirely different world? I don't know anything yet. I still need to learn all the of Truth this world is offering.

[???? Point of view]

That guy is really persistent about that book, the first lantern Bearer was also like him. I really love it when he not becoming insane after the lot of time he has passed reading a story that he will one day tell to to the world.

Saliva dripping through my mouth.

"i can't wait to taste you boy"

[Xavier point of view]

I closed the book after reading it till page 7.903.238.027, did i learn anything after reading all that,sure, but how much do I know, nothing.

I don't know that this world is so complex, and i found out about the book being infinite when i finally read the page 1.000.000, it was around 3 years after I start reading.

Im not a reader so I don't really fast at reading, and sometimes i stopped reading and then just start making some theory, but after making theory it always proven to be wrong in the next page.

Did i stop making theory? No and I will never stop.

I stand up, and pick up the lantern that i place in the center of the table, I start walking through the darkness again.

After reading the book, i learn that if I put my heart into it, the lantern will guide my step.

'bring me to someone that I can talk to'

The lantern start to shine bright, brighter than before, the lantern shoot out some sort of string that guide me to the place I want to go.

Walking and walking i finally found my destination.

It's big, it has over one thousand hand, it mouth is everywhere, it eyes is looking straight at me, and it is caged.

"You finnaly found me" when I heard it sound I know that this thing is the one that talked with me over a million years ago.

The sound of teeth clashing against each other is really unpleasant, the gust of wind send down shiver through my body. And i know that this thing is not a creature but a being.

"Who are you? Are you a ǫndur?"

It turned it's body and showing it other mouth.

"I am Beelzebub the devour of world, and you must be Xavier the child of misfortune"

I sat down and crosses my legs, i take the earrings and wore it.

"Yes you're correct, so what's the reason you called me?"

It roll over and show it other mouth, it tries to grab something in the Conner of the cage, it's a pen, it rolled over again and hand it to me through the gap in the cages.

"This pen is a special pen called, The Pen That Write The Record, all of the information in that book was written using this pen."

I take the pen and observe it, it's a feather type of pen,the feather that was used to made this pen seems that it came from a mythical creatures. the feather shine weakly, the color of the feather has the same color as the sun.

"Now after i handed the pen to you as your predecessor told me to, now im going to offer you a deal "
