Chapter 14 Heartfelt Letter
This means that I would have to choose a method when dealing with her.
Should I throw her on the brig too like Clara and the rest of the Poisonous maid crew and then force her to teach me?
I don't think that would work, she looks like the strongest person on the ship.
Should I court her? Who knows, she might have a feminine side to her beneath all those hate and masculine features.
Hmm!!
No, don't think about now you fool.
Ah!! The proverb 'Abstain from pleasure for it killeth a man' was right.
I will think about how to handle her later. For now, I need to know what this is.
Bringing out the book that I assumed was the one that brought me here, the book of 'Fantastic Beasts of Records' from under my cloth and placed it on the desk in front of me.
Alright, here goes nothing.
I opened the book after I have mentally prepared myself for whatever was about to happen next.
I know that I was being paranoid, but at least it was for a good reason.
The first time I opened this book, I was transported to another world, so who knows what might happen the second time?
Possibly the worst!
Or nothing!!
There is nothing here.
Why are all the pages blank?
I flipped through each page of the book trying to look for a single word, drawing or at least anything.
But still, I couldn't find anything as all the pages were blank and empty.
I didn't know if it was a joke or truly how it was meant to be, but my expectations were so high. Now, hitting rock bottom was the only idiom I could use to describe how I felt at the moment.
Using my hands to cover my face, I thought about what to do next.
Although this might be the worst possible outcome that I had expected to happen but th...…
"Flutter!!" "Flutter!!!"
At this moment, the book in front of me was flipping its pages, turning back to the front pages.
And just when it reached the very front page, it stopped.
Anticipation filled my heart as I waited for what was about to happen next.
Five seconds. Twenty seconds. Fifty seconds. One minute. One minute ten seconds…..
Bamm!!
'Come on' I screamed.
The suspense was already crawling into my heart and was about to make it explode.
But just as though I thought that I would be disappointed once more, letters started to appear on the pages as though it was being written by an invisible hand.
But it wasn't.
My thoughts were silent as this might very well be the first magical thing that I have seen in my life. Only second to transmigrating to a new world.
The sentences were finally complete, and I could read what was written on them.
[Drop your blood on the book]
Okay, at least we were getting somewhere.
Even though the instruction surprised me a bit, I didn't find it that weird or unbelievable since I had already guessed that it was a magical book.
And at least, it wasn't telling me to soak it with the blood of ten virgins.
But still, even if it had written that on its pages, somehow I don't even think that I might still find it weird.
Looking for something sharp around my desk so that I could use it to open a small wound on my palm, I quickly noticed a knife in the corner.
Touching its edges as I gently pressed my palm on its blade, I didn't stop pushing it deeper until I could see drops of my blood flowing like a stream on its blade as they dripped down upon the pages of the book.
Closing the book, I didn't forget to let my also blood drip on the book's cover.
Watching in fascination as the blood disappeared immediately it touched the cover, I opened it back to the first page just to find out that the blood I poured on its pages had disappeared -absorbed by the book.
Another sentence was forming on its pages.
[How are you doing Wyatt?
Sorry if you had a bumpy ride when crossing over. But you see I can't choose the body which you will be transmigrating into, but that doesn't mean that I won't make sure you get into a good one.
Though it would be chosen at random. So best of luck on that.
I have nothing much to say, but I hope that you enjoy the new world.
Fly through the 'World of Tharcania', cross its seas, conquer its land or choose to live a peaceful and comfortable life. Whichever one you choose is yours to decide.
I only wanted you to read my book to see if someone liked it so that I could continue writing it. But now, I changed my mind and I hope that you help me finish my book.
So don't forget to write down the wonders and mysteries of the magical beast that you will come across in your new life.
And when you are done, we will meet again so that I can see how you ended it. Though I hope you make it an interesting one.
And with that, I will see you later Wyatt.
May you find happiness and satisfaction in all the things you want in life.
The one and only,
The Happiness god]
'The Happiness god'. I already knew that this was all his doing, but looking at the proof on the book pages myself was a whole other thing than just my guesses.
My heart felt warm as I looked at the words that had appeared in the book.
Happiness god.
He truly knows how to put a smile on someone's face.
I slumped back in my chair thinking about our meeting and how he changed my life.
Whether it was for better or worst, at least I wasn't drowning in my sorrow and despair anymore.
This might be the first time I have felt someone go through such an extraordinary length for me when I told them about my pathetic story.
