The room descended into abrupt silence as they watch a book appeared out of thin air. While Justin watch the expression of everyone. He saw the shock on their faces.

"This is a book like you have never seen and it would be our ticket out of this misery" Justin said slowly as he emphasis on each word.

"It contain knowledge you can't possible think off except those in the fantasy novels. And this made me wonder perhaps those writes in the fantasy novels are real"

Hearing his solemn voice, everyone inside the room understood the gravity of what he was saying.

"We've reach sensitive times and we need to careful. Also, we need to speed up development."

"Nevertheless, the Genesis Mark on everyone foretold that our future isn't bleak like before. As long we continue to persevere and move forward. We will all reach the promise land."

"But to reach the promise land, it depend on how far we go with this book."

"Chloe,you will begin your research on this book immediately while the others must help those contracting the cars."

"Also, we need more people to level up. But this time, it isn't about fighting. It's about Talent and passion for something and that something would release when Chloe start her research on the book."

He complete his monologue as he looked their faces with seriousness.

"Any question?" He asked.

There is only one question and that is; where the hell did the book of knowledge came from. However, no dare to ask since the king not to tell them.

They looked at each other and shook their head. Seeing this, Justin wasn't surprised. As he could guess what they wanted to ask and since they were reasonable enough not ask. He smiled.

Seeing his smile, the people were released a sigh of relief for not fallen into such a trap.

If anything they've learn since he became king. Don't question what you can't understand. If he want them to understand, he would have told them.

Meanwhile, an evil smile appeared on her face. The sigh of relief that escape from the people made her wanted to laugh but she manage to hold it.

'You are such a bad king.' She giggled through their soul link.

'How did I became a bad king. Have you forgotten the heaven's has recognize me.' He teased.

'That… I don't know what to say'

'Do you have sincerest in studying the book along with Chloe?'

'I wont't mind. I want to see the knowledge that transcend our world.'

'Good'

He never thought of adding Kira to the study of the book but when they start communicating through their soul link. The thought appeared in her mind and since she was vet before the world gone into chaos. Her experience would make things faster.

After everyone had departed, leaving only Chloe and Kira. He took them to his room. The room consist of small bed, chairs and tables. A wardrobe by the side and a yellow flower by the window.

Chloe eyes was burning anticipation as she continually adjust her glasses. While Kira was curious it wasn't to the level of fanatic.

The three sat around a small table and the book of knowledge lay quietly on the table.

Chloe and Kira wait patently for him to open the book. Nevertheless, the golden cover with strange marking had pique their interest to another level. Even Kira eye was burning with anticipation.

Slowly, Justin open the book slowly while the two ladle stretch their neck and widened their as they didn't want to miss anything.

Seeing their action, a slight chucked escape from his mouth but the two were too concentrated to care.

The ladies glue their eyes to the first page but they couldn't wrap their head on their head on what they were seeing. Thus, after looking at it for a couple of second, they raised their head and looked at Justin in confusion.

"What is the problem?" He pretended.

Chloe adjusted her glasses as she looked at the book once again before she said. "How are we going to study the book if we can't understand what was written inside"

"Really?" he widened his eyes. "You can't understand what written inside? Ah.." He sighed and shook his head.

"That mean all this was a false hope" He rubbed his temple with a bitter smile.

Chloe expression fallen as all her exception disappeared into thin air. She continue to stare at the strange marking while her brain was trying to decipher their meaning.

Meanwhile, Kira knew Justin was playing a prank on them and thus, wasn't worrying. Alas, the burning curiosity in her couldn't allow the prank to continue.

"Can you tell us how to read the book. The curiosity is going to kill us." Kira said with beautiful smile on her lips while her hand grip Justin under the table.

"It's not that I don't want to tell but I expected you to discover the key." He sighed. Although, he pranking them a little but it was also a test.

He wanted to see whether they are going to discover how to read the book. Thus, his expectation was high for both them of them. Alas, reality was different.

Hearing this, Chloe and Kira were stupefied as their mouth left ajar. Most especially, Kira she had only thought he was only playing a prank and didn't give it any deep thought.

Hence, seeing the slight disappointment on his face. She knew made a mistake and realized something. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

'I have gotten conceited because he is my boyfriend.'

'I must not let this repeat itself. I must try to read deeper meaning to everything he do before I arrive at a conclusion' she thought.

Justin didn't really care about the short test but if he knew what was going on kira's mind. He would have been pleased.

"Do you remember where you receive the mark of the heavenly recognition?" He asked.

At once, the realization dawn on them and the felt their face been slapped. How they not think of something so simple. They cried in their heart.

Justin chuckled when he saw their expression. He knew both of them were smart and thus, he didn't need any further explanation.

Hence, when the three of them force on their mark, the marking turn into something that they could understand. Besides, the content of the first chapter was way over what was was seen by the taken eyes.

"Fck!" Chloe screamed in elation. "This is awesome." Her brighten as she continue read the content.

After reading the content for a couple of minute, Chloe and Kira breathing turn erratic and their face whitened.

They began to pants and sweat dripped from their forehead. When Justin discover this he quickly realized what was going on. At once, he closed the book.

Bang!

"Do you want to kill yourselves?" He berated as his voice raise an octave.

Gasped!

Chloe and Kira was gasping for air as they recover from the trance. A deep fear was written all over their faces.

Seeing the fear on their faces, Justin anger reduced by a bit. He realized the duo didn't realized what was happening to their body.

'This is a dangerous book.' He said slowly in his heart.

"W-What happen?" Kira asked slowly as she wiped the bead of sweat from her forehead.

"You almost kill yourself." He answered.

Chloe was still trying to recovered from the deep fear that appeared on her life.

'I feel like my consciousness is escaping from my body' She thought and shivered. And when she heard that they almost killed themselves. She knew they were going to die for real if Justin had not close the book.

"Are you ok now." He asked with concern.

"I'm good" Chloe said as she adjusted her glasses and asked. "What really happened? I know we're going to die if you din't close the book but why?"

"Accordion to my guess, this book siphons your power to operates. I mean core power. Both you are Second Circle existence, that's why both of you almost feel the same thing. As for me…"

Realizing the cause of their almost death sent shivered down their spines. A book that needs core power to read is a scary thing.

"Don't think about reading for now and recovered your strength. Also we need a timer to estimate your current limit when you recover you power."

Seeing that both of them understand the gravity of the issue. He delve back into the book of knowledge. However, he didn't stop on the fist page, he open to the second page. The first page was about Array Formation while the second page…

___Alchemy__

Third Page

___Runes Inscription___

Fourth Page

____Forging___

When he arrived at the fourth page, he began to receive a slight ahead and thus, decided cut his curiosity short. But the in flow of knowledge was way over what he could ever imaging.

Previously, he though array formation was a blast but when he saw the other part of the book. He realized he was only seeing the tip of the ice back.
